Our Navy at work.

That our blockadiug squadron is not idle |
is proved by the items of news that oc-
cassionally reach us from the Gulf and South
Atlantic coasts. The occupation of Missis-
sippi City, the capture of the Hatteras In
let forts, the destruction Of the telegraph
wires at Pass pOutre and consequent pre-
vention of the people Of New Orleans from
obtaining telegraph news of the movements
of the fleet, and finally the reported attacks
on Port Royal and New Orleans, all show
that our commanders are wide awake, while
the immense preparations at the various
navy yards presage the Inauguration Of still
more formidable expeditions:
Movements at Fortress Monroe indicate
active operations soon somewhere on the
coast of North Carolina-probably Roanoke
Island. A feet of thirteen schooners sailed
on Sunday for Hatteras Inlet. What they
were loaded with is not stated, but it was
doubtless materials necessary for the per-
manent occupation of whatever place our
troops may set foot on. The steamer r.
Spaulding was expected from the Inlet, to
finish the transportation thither of the
Twentieth Indiana Regiment, portion of
which had already gone down
Letters received in Boston from the Gulf
Fleet confirm the report which has previous
ly reached us that Chandler Island, near
the mouth of the Mississippi river has been
taken possession ofby party from the feet,
who have constructed batteries there and
religbted the lamps in the light house.
The first announcement of this fact was
published in the New Orleans Picayune of
the S0th of September, and was as follows:
1.-THE Federals have nine batteries on
Chandler Island, and are expecting lumber
to build houses and hospitals. Twelve
thousand men are to be place on that Island
and in the neigbborhood. They also intend
to fortify Ship Island, and prevent all com
munication between Mobile and New Or
leans" Chandler and Ship Island lie on
the coast of Mississippi, the first about
twenty miles from Mississippi City, and the
last about ten miles from it.
This movement was prior to the occupa-
ton Of Mississippi City on the main land Of
the State of the same name.

JUNCTION CITY.-A friend sends us the follow

JUNCTION CITY.-A friend sends us the follow
ing items under date Dec. 18th
FRIEND GORDON Very little has been done
bereabOus since the freshet-if except what the
Celestials have accomplished. They will proba-
bly, have a monopoly of the river mining this sea-
son. Most of the boys are waiting for something
to turn up. In the meantime they are studying
the course of some particular stars" with the
aid of Capt. Jones' telescope--an observatory
having been located at the Carter House. You
know the " hurdy -gurdies." That's what They
have been here, and, if mistake not, at their
fair FORMS or portion thereof has the glass been
mainly directed. Hard times were forgotten
"quarters' were abundant. verify believe that
some of the boys pockets are false bottomed.-
1t speaks well for the prosperity of Junction City
Your friend " Jacinto" is in tribulation, no
tice, anticipating a rise in whisky. Wine," the
good Book tells us, " is mocker," but whisky,
if mistake not, is never once prescribed in its
teachings. Still the article is much abused here
abouts. Send your friend hither we have plen-
ty, and Moore says the old prices shall be adher-
ed to at all hazards.
Our citizens have suffered greatly from the
freshet. Louis Raab has resumed business at bis
old stand and is determined to rebuild his new
bridge next summer Better success to him.
Capt. Steele is building new saw-mill on the
site of the old one. 1t will be in operation in
two months, the Captain says, and he is a man OF
his word

! THE FLOOD AT SACRAMENTO.-No place in the
State has suffered so much from the flood as Sac
ramento city the Union estimates the damage at
over S1,OOO,O00. The water is still covering a
portion Of the city, and great suffering and pri'
vation is being endured by her citizens. The
rapidty with which the water poured into the
city precluded, in many instances, the removal
of goods and furniture from the first to the Sec
ond floors of the building. Many lives were lost,
but the exact number has not been ascertained.
Sacramento is situated in the delta formed by
the American and Sacramento rivers, on very low
ground. To protect it against overflow, levee
has been built entirely around the city. The wa.
! ter which did the damage came from the Ameri-
can river, overlowing first the light levies along
its banks, outside of the citys corporate juris-
diction. The water which came in at what is call
ed the Fort Slough, and that which overlowed
the levee at and below Smiths Gardens, ran d-
rectly toward the city. When it reached the
levee it followed round until it struck the en-
bankment upon which the railroad runs, which
being much higher than the levee, backed the
water up and overlooked the city. Had there
been an opening anywhere near the city through
this railroad embankment, Sacramento might
have escaped this disaster, as the water in the
American was much higher than that of the Sac
ramentO river, and would undoubtedly have flow
ed intoit. The city being enclosed by high
embankment, now presents the appearance of
large reservoir, full of houses,
At last accounts the citizens of San Francisco
had sent $27 900 to relieve the sufferers at Sac
ramento.

MORE DAMAGE BY THE FLOOD.--From Mr.. Den
ny, Humboldt mailman, who arrived last Sunday
for the first time in over three weeks, we learn
that not only the new bridge over Trinity at Hoo
pa Valley, is gone but the wire suspension bridge
built across the klamath river, three miles be-
low Wetchpeck, last summer, by Mr.. Martin, was
carried away. This bridge was put up by A. S.
Hallade & Co., of San Francisco was 500 feet
long, and 9S feet above the river. 1t cost some
$4,000.
At the mouth of Trinity river, John Fennes.
sy's house, stock of goods, and everything else
was swept away, and at Big Bar, on the Klam-
ath, the trading post and other property of VIM.
Shelton shared the same fate No tidings have
reached us from Orleans Bar but the general i'm
preston is that the town must have been destroy
ed.
To give our readers some idea of the immense
body of water accumulated below the confluence
of Trinity and klamath rivers, we state on the
authority of Capt. Cecil, of Klamath, that at the
wire suspension bridge above mentioned the wa
ter raised one hundred and forty feet Think of
that, ye Sacramentans, and then boast of high
water, if you can.
Everything is swept clean on Trinity river.
and the damage is immense we have no heart
to make an estimates
Weekly Trinity journal., 1861-12-21

THE CoNTRAsT.-From the Philadelphia Press
we take the following: "What healthy and
eloquent contrast there is between the loyal men
of Kentucky, Tennessee North Carolina and
Western Virginia, aud the peace men of the
Free States The latter employ their time in
constant attacks upon the Administration of Mr..
Lincoln, in misrepresentation of the objects of
the war, and in bitter abuse of all who sustain it
covering their real intention with thin var
nish of hypocritical devotion to the country.
The loyal Southern men sink every other object
before an absorbing aud present love of the
Union. They forget that Mr.. Lincoln is a Re-
publican, applaud every effort he is making for
their protection, and welcome the soldiers of the
Republic into their midst, no matter from what
quarter, with every manifestation of gratitude. )"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1861-12-21

THE FLooD-CREDIToRs AND DEBToRs.-We
learn that several attachment suits have already
been commenced against sufferers by the late
food. We regret that any necessity should force
creditors to further embarrass and in most in
stances by a sudden peremptory demand for
payment, entirely ruin those who have been fnan
cially crippled by the late river disasters butwho
If permitted a short time, would be enabled to
recover from their present money embarrassment
1t is our opinion that creditors stand in their own
light and are injuring the prosperity and credit
of the county by forcing partial collections and
entirely destroying the chances of the debtor for
repairing his fortunes by rebuilding his mining
improvements or renewing his stock of goods, as
The case may be. Under the workings Of the
present Attachment law the debtor is wholly at
the mercy Of his creditor he may be worth ten
times the amount of his Indebtedness, but have
his effects in such condition as not to be availa-
BILE, and if this condition his creditors pounce up
on him with an attachment, the debtors whole
property must be sacrificed under the sheriff S
BANNER, and his business ruined to satisfy an eX-
ecution, which he could pay ten times over il
permitted few months time. Mercy is said to
be the first attribute of Deity If our citizen
creditors would just at the present crisis, borrow
n little of that virtue from their Father in Ilea
ven, we feel assured it would be better for. them
selves, their debtors, and the county at large
We have every faith that the river miners will
during the coming summer, fully repair their late
Losses, and that another seasons work will set
them all right Give them chance and thereby
profit afterwards
