e" ZACCHEUs he
Did climb a tree
His Lord to see, -

But Columbus Seweli and Hudson, two color
ed miners at Arkansas Dam, didn't climb for any
such purpose. Their cabin stands on high bar.
On one side is the river, on the other deep
channel, which only fills in time of flood. Last
Saturday night the river rose very rapidly, and
all at once our heroes found themselves surround
ed by water, and that the cabin was in fair way
to move. 1t was pitch dark, but not too dark to
climb. A large pine stands near the cabin, and
hastily securing some provisions, and with uncom-
mon forethought, hatchet and some nails,
up they went. The water kept rising and they
kept climbing. Next day they succeeded in
catching some drift timber, with which they con-
structed rude raft, and after encountering dan
ger in every shape, reached the main land. The
above is voucbed for by "handsome Harry"
whpae reputation for verseity is unquestioned.

PATENT WIRE RoPE.-The late terrible food
in Trinity has destroyed extensive and valuable
fumes, conveying water from bank to bank of
that stream. Many of these were built so far
above the river that it was believed no freshet
could ever reach them. But not one remains,
and we hear of mining companies who have lost
as high as $4,000 in this kind OF property.
In many instances different companies built
fumes across the river at or near the same point
where single patent wire rope suspension fume
would answer the purpose of both. These sus-
pensions for fumes are coming into general use,
more especially, in the southern mines. No piers
are required useless timber necessary in their
construction, by which an accumulation of drift
wood may be occasiOned.
A. S. Halladie X Co., San Francisco, manufac-
ture wire rope of any required size and strength
We desire to call the attention of miners partic-
ularly to this article, believing that it may be
benefcially employed in the manner above men
toned, and at IL great saving of both money and
labor.

WEAVER CREEK-Some benefit we are glad to
say, resulted from the late flood. The creek from
Weayerville to its mouth, is completely cleaned
out. The e" corral" leading from the Howe aud
Jones' fnme, which before the freshet was COM
pletely obscured by taings is once more in sight,
resulting in great benefit to the hume above

first put in-seems to have sustained little or
no damage. Miners all along The creek will be
much benefited in this respect

THE RpADs.-Before the late storm we had
some tolerable good roads leading from the
basin. Now we have none, comparatively. The
place where the road was between here and
Douglas City is visible but & nary a road" We
have not learned to what extent the Weaverville
and Shasta road is damaged, but conclude that it
must be in bad condition. The road from LIE wis
ton bridge over to the Mountain House" is al
most destroyed, we are told. Mr.. Patrick Tobin
came over il on Wednesday, and reports that it
is SO badly washed as to be utterly impossible
OVerseer Williaps is endeayoring to make the
roads abpnt town passible, but owing to the
limited means at his command can do but little.

PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-On the next page will
be found synopsis Of the Presidents Message.
AS public document it is plain and unostenta-
tious, yet digniled and free from any partiZan
acrimony Or Intolerance 1t is the message of
President of the United States, and not politi-
cal essay. 1t may not please Northern extremists,
but its true national and conservative tone will
be approved by all true lovers of the Union.
Tte President. in this message has taken the
sand from under the feet Il those who have OPP
posed his administration upon the ground that
he was waging war for the purpose of wrest-
ing from the Southerner his slaye property-that
he was vile Abolitonist, &c lie has submit
ted to Congress plan for purchasing from States
any negroes they may be desirous OF removing,
and providing for their colonization also advi-
SOS that all free negroes new in the Union be in
cluded in the colonization scheme.
This statesmanlike and just proposition will,
we have no doubt, call forth the anathemas If
Abolitionists.
