unanimously adopted resolutions to the effect
that, as the Board of Supervisors, at their
last meeting, had directed the President to
call a meeting of citizens, to give expression
to their sense Of the value of our Union, it
was inexpedient for the Society to take any

TIMBucroo.-Mr Mooney Of the Express,
at San Francisco, discourses of Timbuctoo' as
follows We stage from Marysville to Inn

dollars.
This is a mining neighborhood Nowhere
in California is there 10 be met such extern
sive water works The majestic aquaduclS
which convey the water OF Dry creek
through Smartsville, over valleys, to llm-
buctoo, are worthy TO be classed with some
Of the Roman duets, for utility and extent,
though not for durability. These aquaducs
are carried some of the way upon trusses NJ
ty feet high; at other points the water Is
forced over valleys and up-hills, through an
iron tube of forty-two inches diameter, ana
1000 feet long made of boiler-iron, and riV-
cited together with three millions OF rlvets.
This vast tube dips into the valley more
than 100 feet, and rises again, pouring out the
water by the force of its gravity upon the
opposite hills. These works must have cost
an enormous sum Of money. Three compan'
les originally started to carry in water to
the rich hills in this region. They were first
in opposition, one to the other, but they are
now united and known as the '1ri union
Company" They charge twenty seven cents
water Most of the mining companies use
the hydraulic, and therefore consume vast
deal of water-as much as eighty dollars
worth a day. Where there are sixty to
eighty companies paying this figure for
water, the weekly or yearly aggregate in
come of the company may be estimated.

blaze of glory lie claimed that the charge
of rebellion against the South was an admis-

against honor and justice, and when the peo-

criminal against whom the revolt is aimed

Senate farewell.
The name of Benjamin will live in the pa

him as one of those sterling patriots who
hied to break up this detested Union, and
thus fulfil the expectations Of those ardent
lovers of human rights in the Old World
who have long hoped for the destruction Of
the American Coniederacy Benjamin will
be followed by streak of glory down to the
remotest posterity. 1t is fortunate that this

For three nights the men lay in their en-
trenchments, expecting to be attacked by
overwhelming numbers, but not n man
quivered. In fact, they are confident of
their ability to whip five times their num-
Der, and are anxious to win name. They
were disappointed however. Beyond the
picket skirmishing, there was no fight. The
rebels demonstrated only one thing in this
vicinity, and that was an uuwillingness to
fight unless great odds were in their favor.
At one time Lee might have made his
way in to this valley. Itis too late now
Gen. Reynolds has every point guarded,
and his camps so situated that 100000
such troops as lately appeared in this vi
cinity cannot make their way through.
He has withdrawn from this vicinity, as
our scouts have been unable, rs yet, TO en-
counter even his pickets. 1t is supposed
he has retired to the neighborhood of the
Warm Springs.
The prisoners taken in the late skirmish
es were mostly of Tennessee regiments
Among them are two Israelites. who but
recently resided i'll Cincinnati. They were
impressed into the Southern service. One
is very severely wounded.
Last night | slept in the tented field, re-
firing at "the taps" and awakened by the

though the night was cold, 1 slept sound
ly, and feel this morning, something like IL

Der of interesting incidents that have oc-
Cured in this vicinity, but must defer

had enough of General Reynolds, and at
prescut are INVISIBLE.

TIE FLOOD UP AT PITTSBURGH
Thirty Feet of Water in the Channel
-ImmeMse' e'DestructiOn of Property,
&c.


Thirty Feet OF Water in the Channel
-Immense'Dest of Property,
&c.
From the ChronlcIe.l
In Saturdays Chronicle we noticed the
fact that the rains of the preceding day had
swelled our rivers to an unusual stage, and
that they were :hcn pouring out their angry
flood and rising at the rate oftwelve inches
an hour. The destruction of property up
to noon on Saturday had been immense;
but it was only some hours later, when the
ratts, arks, nutboats, keel boats, &c,
which had broken loose up the Allegheny,
came tlOating down, covering the entiIO
surface of the stream, that the devastating
character of the freshct could be fair
ly realized. The water continued rising
until eleven o'clock on Saturday night,
when both rivers came to u stand, with
thirty feet nine inches in the channel, by
the pier mark at the Monongahela bridge.
On but three occasions before has there
been such flood seen here. In 1910 the
rivers attained 81 stage of thirty-two feet
and in 1892, thirty-fvc feet. The latter
was known as the "pumpkin flood" and
was the most destructive with which we
have ever been visited. In 1852, the great
est height obtained was thirty -one feet nine
inches, or foot more than that of Satur-
day; but we doubt if the damage done then
was by any means as extensive as that
caused by the presen: rise. 1t is impossi-
BILE yet to give anything like a detailed ac-
count of the individual losses sustained,
as from many points we have but confused
reports, while from some we have none Mt
all. This is particularly true of the lum-
ber districts up the Allegheny, where the
flood did immense damage, sweeping away
everything before it, and of the oil region
where property to a fabulous amount was
carried off.
The principal damage done here arises
from the flooding of numerous dwellings
