SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 80, 1861.
ApportIonment of one stotc.

The Assembly Special Committee, appoint
cd TO ascertain If there were any official
census returns in the Office Of the Secretary
of State, upon which an apportionment
could be made, reported on Tuesday last
The report states that upon application to
the Secretary Of State, the Committee were
1860, which purported TO be complete, with
the exception of four townships in Placer
county, from which no returns appeared to
have been made According to the returns
furnished the Committee, the total popula-
ton of the State is 75,O42-some 5000
less than the population as furnished by
the Census Bureau at Washington. In ac-
cordance with the recommendation Of the
Committee, resolution was adopted APP
pointing a Special COMMITTEE of one from
each Senatorial district to report bill for
apportionment, upon the basis Of the alb
stract referred to, for Congressional, Sena-
torlal and Assembly districts.
As the returns in the Office of the Secre-
tary Of State we're believed TO be incorrect,
a resolution was adopted early in the ses-
sion, applying to the Census Bureau for a
correct abstract, and if that is received in
time 1t will, Of course, be made the basis
for the apportlonment.
There is reason to believe that frauds
we're perpetrated by the census agents of
some of the southern counties--that in San
Diego, San Bernardino, Tulare, and other
counties, the population is not as large as
reported-but we presume the Legislature
will be compelled to make the apporLion-
ment on the basis of the official returns,
although some Of them may be fraudulent.
AS Congressmen under the new appOr-
tionment will not be elected until the fall
of 1868, it is not necessary that the present
Legislature should divide the State into
Congressional districts.

THE Flood at nInrysviIIe.

We learn from the Marysville papers that
the country for many miles below that city
was overhowed on Wednesday. causing an
immense destruction Of property, aud the
loss of number of lives. The suspension
bridge at Parks Bar was swept away on
Wednesday morning, and the keeper was
struck by the cable and instantly killed, his
neck being broken. Owen Phillips was
drowned the same day, in a slough between
Wescoatt's and the Qnintay ranch. The
food was occasoned by the rise in the Yn-
ba. but that stream had commenced falling
on "Wednesday evening, ar d +, ather river
was still on the rise. The Democrat of
Thursday says:
The ranches to the east Of the city, the Linda
bottom, and those on the opposite side OF the
Yuba, are completely inundated. An old resi-
dent, who has high wateR marks, tells US that
this is the highest food we have had since the
spring Of 80. 1t has already done vast
amount Of damage to the occupants of the low
er ranches, both in the destruction of crops and
the loss of stock. At seven O'Clock last even
ing, the indications were that the Yuba had
reached its highest point, although the Feather
was still rising.
The Appeal says the Yuba was higher
than it had been since 1853. and adds:
Judging from what we have seen and heard,
thousands of acres of lands that are under cul-
tiyaticn, planted with fruit trees and grain
crops, are submerged, fences borne down by the
currents, and barns and dwelling houses almost
washed from their foundations. Generally,
these structures are built on high clumps Of
land, and upon these elevated spots cattle and
horses could be seen yesterday, taking refuge
from the yellow food. Some families, we are
told, were brought to this city by boats sent to
their relief, but it is feared that some lives may
have been lost.
The stages from North San Juan, Nevada
and Auburn started out as usual i'll the morn
ing, but were obliged to turn back.
About Marysvie considerable damage has
been done to gardens and small superstructures.
The slough, which puts through the western
part of the town. is filled till it is like good
sized river, and has spoiled several cultivated
enclosures for the season.
From the Express of yesterday, we learn
that the waters continued to rise until
Wednesday morning, when they commenced
gradually to subside.

A DIsTINGUIsHED VISITOR.-Mr. Joseph
L. r. Wood, the eldest son of Mayor Wood, of
New York, arrived at San Francisco, on Tues
day last, on the mail steamer st. Louis. The
New York Express, of Feb. 20th, in annouh-
cling his intended departure for California, says:
Mr.. Wood is one of our most intelligent and
enterprising young men, and for one Of his
years, quite traveller. Besides making HIM
self familiar with the various features Of the
Atlantic States, extending his peregrinations
far into the wilds Of the West and the Rocky
Mountain region, he has wandered over most
of Europe, and to some extent i'll Asia and AZ
rica and now turns his face towards the golden
regions of the Pacific. Here he will spend sew
eral weeks in explorations of the most interest
ing and valuable sections, both as regards min
ing and agricultural features, and will doubtless
collect a large fund of information, valuable not
alone to himself, but we hope to the public al
so, to which he intends, we believe, to present
in some form the general result of his wander
ings.

BOUNDARY COMMISSIONER two Hon.
ses of the Legislature me. in Joint Conven.
ton on Thursday last, and elected Ferris
Forman as Boundary Commissioner on be-
half Of the State. McKibbin had been nom
mated by the straight-out Douglas men,
and Hammond by the Nugent-Denver-Breck-
inridge combination, but Forman received
the largest vote on the first ballot, and on
the seventh received GO, and was declared
elected. 1t appears that the appropriation
made by the last Congress for the survey
has been exhausted, and the Government
party will not be able to proceed with the
work until an appropriation is made by the
next Congress. Last summer, when the
Government was ready to proceed with the
survey, the State was not ready. The case
is now reversed; the State is prepared to
proceed with the work, but the Government
is not.

The GAINES CAsE.-An Eastern dispatch
states that the United States Supreme Court
has decided in favor Of Mrs. Gaines, giving
her the whole estate of Daniel Clark. This
case has been before the Courts some TWEEN.
ty-five or thirty years, and has been decided
several times by the Supreme Court. some
times in favor of and sometimes against the
claim of Mrs. Gaines. AS the estate Of
Daniel Clark, Mrs Gaines father, includes
large portion of the land upon which
New Orleans now stands, and is held by nu.
merous owners, it is not probable that Mrs.
Gaines will ever recover any considerable
share of the estate.

seats in Congress. Whether or not this
Constitution is to be submitted to the differ
ent States for ratification does not appear.

TIE OREGON TREATY.-ln the British
House of Commons, on the 18th Of Febru.
airy, Lord John Russell, in reply to Mr..
Mills, said:
'FThe honorable gentleman opposite (Mr.
Mills) has asked whether the dispute respecting
the rights of Great Britain and America under
the Ashburton Treaty, had been adjusted. The
dispute did not arise under that treaty, but
under the Oregon Treaty. The claims had
not been adjusted, but there had been an
agreement for temporary occupation by Gen.
Scott Of San Juan. A proposition had been
made by the British Government to the Ameri-
can Government, which being conceived in a
fair spirit, he trusted would be received by the
latter; but America had recently been naturally
occupied with her own internal affairs to such
an extent as to preclude the possibility of the
proposition receiving immediate consideration.
When the answer was received he (Iord John
RusSelD would take care that the House should
be informed of it. With regard to the last
question, there had been no other correspond
ence but the demand by the American Govern
ment for the delivering up of Anderson.
Anderson, it will be remembered, was
the American arrested by the British au-
thorities on San Juan Island, for trespass
in planting potato patch on land claimed
by the HudsOn's Bay Company as sheep p
range.

The Southern Forts.

The intelligence by the last Pony con-
firms the report previously received, that
the propriety of abandoning Fort Sumter
was being seriously debated in Lincoln's
Cabinet. 1t does not appear that any de-
cision had been arrived at up to the 10th
inst, but it was generally supposed that Or
ders would be issued requiring Major Ander-
son and the force under bis command to
evacuate the fort. Gen. Scott strongly
urges this course as military necessity.
Major Anderson wrote on the 9th, that the
provisions on hand would last the troops
only fifteen days, and if supplies were not
furnished in that time he would be compell-
ed to surrender the fort. 1t is doubtful
whether the Government could organize a
sufficient force to ensure the sending Of sup.
plies and renforcements to Sumter in the
short time required, and to attempt it and
fail would be worse than to abandon the
fort.
The evacuation of Sumter would have no
effect on the Gulf States, for they are de-
termined on a final separation at all haz-
ards but it would have the effect to
strengthen the Union party in the Border
States, and the leading policy Of Lincoln's
Administration should be to retain the lat
ter States in the Union.
There is no reason to believe that the
Government has any intention Of ordering
the evacuation of Fort Pickens. This Fort
can be reinforced and supplies furnished
without endangering collision, and it will
undoubtedly be held until all efforts to ere
construct" the Union are abandoned.
There ARE two forts on the Southern
coast which the Government will never give
up on any consideration. These are Forts
Taylor and JeiIerson-the former at Key
West, the latter at the Tortugas Islands.
They cost over million dollars each, and
it is important that the Government should
retain them for the protection Of our COM
merce in the Gulf. They will also be OF
service should it become necessary to block
ade the mouth of the Mississippi, which will
surely be done unless The Louisiana author
tiles recede from their policy of closing the
river to the commerce of the States above.
Fort Taylor mounts lS5 guns, Fort Jetfer-
son, 29s, and ii properly garrisoned it
would require larger naval force to take
them than the Gulf States will ever be able
to equip. Measures have no doubt been
taken to supply these forts with men and
munitions sufficient to. secure them against
any attack.
