SELF Observation-Disclosures is not one of
US who has not brother or sister, friend
or sehoolmate, whom we can make better as
well as happier. Every day calls upon us
for sacrifices of small selfshness, for forbear-
ance under provocation, and for the subjuga-
ton of evil propensities. Drop the stone
you were about to throw in retaliation for
insult ); unclench that fist with which YOU
were about to redress some supposed, perhaps
some real wrong: silence that tongue, about
to utter words which poison like the venom
of asps expel that wicked i'm agination that
comes into your thoughts as Satan came into
the Garden of Eden for if you do not drive
that out of your paradise, it will drive you
out Horace Mann. @h#at

The feet of Gen, Burnside consists
of 45 vessels, of all kinds, divided as
follows: 8 steamers, 8 propelleis or
gun boats, with five floating batteries.
The gun boats and batteries boing well
armed with cannon. On these vessels
arc embarked sixteen full regiments,
with 81 rihed cannon, besides gunners,
and sailors, under the command of three
Brigadier Generals, to wit, Gems. Fos.
ter, Reno, and Parke. The whole un-
der command of Gen. Burnside.
Nothing is yet certainly known Of
the destination of this expedition BY
the public, but circumstances all point
to the Pamlico Sound, by the way Of
Hatteras Inlet, on the coast Of North
Carolina. This body of water spreads
along before a large portion of the
Southern border of the State, into which
the principal rivers of the State empty,
and through which many of the princi-
pal points of the State can be reached
both by our armed vessels and pur
troops.
1t is said that the expedition carties
450 cases of smooth bore muskets, and
large number of tents, indicating that
the expedition is destined to some point
where the inhabitants in large numbers,
are expected to rise up and assist our
troops. This fact also indi cates the
Eastern portion of North Carolina as O
point of attack.

The Floods in California-M Many Per
sons Drowned.


The accounts Of the terrible Re true
ton of property in California by the
late freshets, caused by heavy rains and
snow melting in the mountains, gil col.
umns in the California papers. At Sac
ramento the levee gave way, overflow
ing the eastern part Of the city.
In few hours the water was so dpep
at the lower portion of the city as to
set ahoat and turn over n large number
of houses in the vicinity of Fifth and
Sixth streets. From many of these
houses women could be seen at th G
windows calling for boats, which we're
for time scarce, and for a while il
seemed as though many lives must in
evitahly be lost.
All the boats on the levee we're soon
brought into requisition for the purpose
of rescuing them, and they were remov-
ed to places of safety.
During the day and evening several
persons were drowned. In the evening
many boats were. occupied in taking
passengers to and from the verv few
restaurants and hotels that were able to
furnish meals. The most of them had
their fires extinguished, and were, there.
fore, unable to do their cooking.
At one time the water reached the
point of 215 feet above low water mark,
but on the 18th of December the water
had receded, and the streets were again
in good order. The loss of property
by the food is estimated at over one
million.
Northwnrd the plains were cut up in
to broad streams of running water.
which we're swiftly coursiug toward the
great sheet of water stretching between
Yuba and Feather rivers.
Marysvlle was also submerged, and
numerous buildings were overthrow
or floated off. Nearly the whole town
was submerged, and southwark the
whole plain toward Eliza was one sheet
of water, dotted with trees, roofs of
houses, floating animals and wrecks of
property of every description. There
was ten feet of water on the turnpike.
Westward one vast water level stretched
to Iuba City, where kindred inunda-
ton was raging, the entire town being
under water.
At Long Bar, says the MarysvilIe
Appeal, large number of Chinameu
were drowned, some say as many as ff
ty, and at Sand Flat an entire settle.
mcnt was drowned, the poor fellows
climbing into tie sycamore trees, and
thence b ing swept off one by one by
the rising torrents. At Ousley's Bar
it is reported that nearly Que hundred
Chinamen we're drowned in narrow
gorge, where the water rose suddenly,
leaving only one poor Mongolian to tell
the tale.

tFrom tho Memphis Avalanche, Dec. 80.
Brownlow Discharged.


In the Confederate Court at Knox
vile on Friday a nolle prosegui was en-
tered in the case of Parson Brownlow,
on the ground that he had surrendered
himself voluntarily, on condition that
the Government would agree to convey
him out Of Fast Tennessee, and protect
his exit. The faith of the Government
being pledged, his discharge was or
dered. The Knoxville Register re-
marks on the arrest as follows;
whether Brownlow was we'll enough
to leave the Jail last night or what has
become of him, we have not learned
though we understand it was the inten-
ton of the commander of the post here
to hold him under arrest, with view to
his safe conduct beyond the lines.
"The indignation of the soldiers here
upon hearing of his release, we under.
stand to have been intense. What may
follow we cannot conjecture, though we
presume the military authorities will
see that he is protected and transported
beyond the lines, where be may be able
to cooperate with johnson and May.

The New Haven Palladium says: W.
G. Webster, of this city,a a son of Noah
Webster, the photographer, at the
breaking out of the war, was residing in
Cumberland, Nd. His wife, Virginia
lady, at an early day followed the for
tunes of her native State, while an elder
son, graduate Of West Point, recruit
ed a company for the State of Mary
land. Governor Hicks, however, did
not not accept troops thus raised at the
time. and he went TO the Virginia side
of the Potomac. Mr.. Webster, with
much difficulty, made his way to the
North, and in New York found young
er son about to enlist in the Union
ranks. His father told him of his ell.
der brothers course, and further that
he had written him that if he took up
arms against the United States Govern
ment, he was no longer a son of his
but traitor. lie was asked if he met
the elder brother on the battle field how
he should regard him. The loyal son
hesitated moment, then replied, 'Well
father, If | had an opportunity I think
Ishould step forth and shake hands
with the fellow, and then step back and
fight" These sons are now within
twenty miles of each other; one an en-.
gineer in the Union corps, and the 9th,
or doubtless in arms against his coun.
try.

At Cynthiana, KY, the daughter and
niece of Col. Il, "merely for fun"
dressed themselves in mems clothes,
procured an old shotgun, went into the
field where their relative was at work,
and arrested him by authority of the
United States, as guilty of treason
He turned very white and submitted
without resistance, and they allowed
him to get to his own house, where a
general burst of laughter revealed the
practical joke. The Colonel was very
belligerent when he found that he had
actually been arrested by two small
young ladies.

A correspondents Of the Chicago Trib-
une recently had a conversation with
Gen. Dix on the negro question. He
found the former ultra conservative De-
mocrat quite Sensible on the subject.
He said that he had never taken a slave
from his master and never surrendered
one to his master; that when they had
come to his camps aud forts he had treat
cd them exactly as he would have treated
white men, neither receiving them mol
returning them, but telling them to 20
about their business, aud telling then
too that if it was freedom they wanted
they had better go North than be hang
ing around Maryland. lie also declar
ed that the slave interest had acted 81
outrageously in fomenting the presen
rebellion, as to lose all claim for sympa
thy or protection. aaHd L

The London "Athen@um" says that
Arthur the Great and Albert the Good
are now two of the most prominent
names in English history. Here is a
specimen of Albert's goodness" -
When the domestic servants patrons
asked him to take the chair at a meet
ing in their behalf, the case they put to
him was that the domestic servants of
the m tropolis often suffered great pri
vations in old age; that they we're ma
king some efforts to help themselves;
and that his appearance in their cause
would be good for them. His reply
was: "After what you tell me, should
be wanting in my duty if I did not
take the chair" and he took it.
