A FOREIGN WAR PROBABLE.-The latest
adyices from Europe indicate that war be-
tween England and America is inevitable.
The surrender of Mason and Slidel and the
disavowal of the act Of Capt Wilkes 10 ar
resting them, has only rendered the British
Government the more arrogant and exact
ing France, too, in all probability, will be
against us; and to carry on even defen'
sive war with those two nations, and at the
same time hold the rebels 10 check, would
tax the resources and energies of this coun-
try to the utmost. The sealing up Of
Charleston harbor will probably be made
the pretext for declaring war against the
United States, but that will not be the true
cause. The English arstocracy are desirous
Of breaking down American institutions,
and have chosen the time when we are en-
gagged in domestic wars to accomplish their
work. The frst, and perhaps the most dis
astrous effect of such war would be TO
sweep the commerce OF the three nations
from the seas. The United States would
feel the loss of its foreign commerce much
less than either of the other nations, foF we
have continent upon which can be pro-
duced all the necessaries and many of the
luxures Of life, while they are largely Ell
gagged in manufactures, and dependent up.

and market for the sale of their manufae.

THE CONTRABAND QUEsTIoN.-A Wash
mgtOn despatch of December 25th says: "Prom-
inent members Of Congress are considering a
new proposition for the solution Of the contra
band question, in order to avoid the expense OF
supporting crowds Of slaves in idleness, and to
furnish the American mills with cotton. They
lake the ground that the Indian territory west
of Louisiana and Arkansas was eeded to the
United States by treaty, and on certain con-
ditions. Without proyoeation they have viola
ted the treaties, "leyied war" Oh the United
States, thus rendering the treaties null and
void. The country thus reverting to the Gov
ernment embraces the valleys of the Red Ar
kansas and other rivers, and contains about
20,000000 Of acres Of cotton land of unsur-
passed fertility, capable of producing about
l1000,0O0 bales of cotton per annum. II is
proposed to apply the principle of Benton's
'Tlorida Armed Occupation Act, and send all
coptrabands to this territory, and apprentice
them to the settlers upon these cotton lands,
leaving the question of their final disposition to
be settled by Congress at the close Of the war.
All the contrabands, as fast as they come into
camp, to be promptly forwarded thither. The
country is approached from st. Louis through
Springfield, distance Of 300 miles. The ne
mainder Of the railroad from Rolla, through
Springfield to Fort Smith, plantations of the
Chocktaws and Chickasaws alone could fully
supply the American mills even the first year
of the experiment

BAD FOR THE RAILRoADs.-The land upon
which it was proposed to build the new shipping
town for the recently bruited railroad project
which looked to the mouth of the Mokelumne
for terminus, is said to be covered with water
to the depth of fifteen feet This fact the Stock
ton independent rejoices over, claiming that
that city is, after all pre-eminently superior to
any other interior place, as a starting point for
a railroad to the other side of the mountains.
That paper estimates that the expenditure of
$4,000 will make the slough navigable for YES
sells and boats of twelve feet draught, and for
$4,000 the corporation can be defended against
the highest water point attained this winter.

LOST IN THE SNow.-Three men, as we
learn from a gentleman from Gibsonvile, were
lately lost in a snow storm while attempting to
cross the divide between Whisky Diggings and
Onion Valley. They had been out several
hours in the storm, were hungry and benumbed
and had nearly perished when their faint cries
were heard by Mr.. Sayre, whose dwelling is a
short distance above Whisky Diggings. He
went Immediately to their relief, and brought
them to his cabin, where they were Hospitality
treated and entirely resuscitated. Thus far this
winter the number of deaths in snow storms has
been few compared with that of former winters,
the melancholy work having been monopolized
by foods Marysville Express.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-02-04

TRADrTIoxARY FLOoDs.-The Bulletin, 10
an article upon the late foods In this State,
says:
Since the American occupation Of the coun-
try. there had been no great overflow Of the low
lands. except for a few miles back OF the large
rivers. There were traditions OF floods that
had made all the great valleys lakes, and the
date of some such occurrences had been gwen
under oath in our courts, though little conh-
dence was put in statements deemed so ex-
trayapant. For several years before the Amer
icans came in to possess the country, 1t was
under Mexican and Spanish rule. The true
rulers of the country, the priests, 1t was oo-
served, had built all their Missions on hgh
ground. leaving the lowlands for their cattle TO
craze on, in great herds, unrestrained oy ienc-
es. There were many mounds found, TOO, III
the vicinity of the rivers, evidently OF !ndlan
origin. The Indian traditions explained them
as the site of their villages, placed thus high for
the purpose of safety against floods, but so lit
tie faith was reposed in all these statements,
that the mounds were regarded as an inSoluble
mystery. and it had come to be deemed quite a
sure thing that the foods were over. There
was oral testimony to the effect that the win
ter of 1925 was a very wet one throughout the
country: that in 1929 Gen. Vallejo salhed
over the present site of Sacramento; that m
1882 and again in l842 the rivers were inn
mensely swollen. The Pioneers of l049-5O
told dismal tales of the rains at San Francisco,
but the pioneers themselves seem to have ar
rived at the conclusion that under their tents,
with the earth for their floor, without paved or
planked streets, and mud in every direction,
the rains made more memorable impression
than was just.

The FLOODS AND THE SACRAMENTO LEvEE.
"A Sacramentan, in a communication to
a San Francisco paper, makes the follow
ing suggestions as to the kind of leVee
needed to protect Sacramento:
Investigation has shown that levee in order
to be effective must be at least ten feet higher
than the present one, and proportiORately
strong. There are marks now which show
beyond doubt that the Sacramento Valley
has had water in it five or seven feet deeper
than it was in the great food in January. An
other significant fact is, that very small part
of the valley was ever inhabited by the Indians,
and those houses of old CalifoFnians that re-
main, are all built on hills. If leyee is built,
of course it must be built to resist the highest
food that can ever visit the valley. 10 build
up the city again and allow its existanee to de-
pend on the waters rising one or two feet high
er than last year, would after the present eXpe-
rience, be positive madness. Further, not only
must a new levee be built, but the city grade
must be raised. These things are essential and
must be done. If they are not done, then let
us remove the capital-tear down the levee,
and relinquish all hope of ever restoring the
city TO prosperity. Property, of course, would
be of no value, for no man of sense would in
vest in such unstable a speculation. But let
such levee be built; let its foundations be
bound together by the roots of willows; let it
be high enough to resist the current; then,
when people are satisfied that the occurrences
of December and January will never be repeat
ed, they will return, property will rise again,
and Sacramento will once more become a city.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-02-04

DREADFUL AvALANGHE.-A A man who
reached Forest Hill, Placer county, few days
ago from Carson Valley, by way Of the Placer.
vile route reports to the Courier newspaper OF
that place, that on the night of the 18th ult., a
landslide occurred at Strawberry Valley, by
which house and barn were tOtallyruined, and
eight men in the former with fourteen horses in
the latter, were killed. The person who gave
the Courier this information had left the house
but a few moments before the event transpired,
but hearing the noise, returned and witnessed
the ruin and loss of life it occasioned.

The FLOOD AT Los ANGELES. -Intelli-
gence has been received from Los Angeles
TO JaD. 25tb. That section Of the State has
suffered very severely BY ibe late foods.
The rain commenced falling on the Gath Of
December, and continued, with but two
slight interruptions, until the 23d of Jam
uary. On Saturday, the 18th, the rain fell
in torrents, causing the streams, already
full, to overflow their banks. Many fine
vineyards were destroyed, and the damage
in Los Angeles county is estimated at $500,
900. The fourishing settlement of Ana
helm was also swept away, with the excep'
ton Of few houses on high ground, and
the great Anaheim vineyard is said to
have been destroyed. All the houses at
Jarupa were swept away, with the excep-
ton of the church, by the food in the Santa
Anna river. The people, to the number
of Eve hundred, took shelter in the church,
where they were at last accounts, without
food or clothing. Reports from San Ber-
nardino state that almost the entire proper
ly in the valley has been destroyed. The
dead bodies of thirteen Indians had been
discovered, drowned by the food.
