To catch the fitlul breathngs OF the slowly rising

Then cunning gopher winks his merry eye
Then darts downward, hldinG in the earth

Immense Overflow between Sacramento and
Marysville.

The following vivid description of the vast
sea of waters between SaSrahento and
Marysville, is from the Appeal of Sunday
" Passengers by last evenings boat from
Sacramento, inform us that the aspect of
the valley between this city and that. a dis
tance of sixty-fve miles, is desolate in the
extreme, yet partaking of the character of
grandeur From the Sierra Nevada to the
Coast Range, is apparently one aspect of yell
low, rippliug water, the farthest lines of
it taking the blue tint Of the sky. Here
and there timber belts protrude their lines of
boughs and partial foliage, and patches of tu-
les make the semblance Of land upon the sur
face cf the deluge. The banks of the Sacra-
mento and Feather can betraced only oy the
timber, and occasionally narrow ribbons of
land, on which shiver closely huddled groups
of hump backed cattle, and on some of which
men from ajoining farm houses that stand
just above the water, are shoyeling up en-
bankments, which serve to avert total SUBJ
mergence. A majority of the houses in the val
ley seem to be deserted, but few, on the high
earth streaks noticed, are yet tenanted by
families, who stood grouped at the doors as
the steamer puffed by them, the waves
formed by her wheel rolling against the
slender levee in front of their refuge as
though they would tear it down. The width
of the overhowed section is OF course not so
great as it appears, but it is generally esti-
mated to average at least twenty miles.
Then it must extend from Tehama, eighty
miles above Marysville. to point in the San
Joaquin valley, at least fifty miles south of
Stockton, forming a lake twenty miles wide
BY some two hundred and fifty long, cover
ing thousands of acres of cultivated ground,
and many thousands more of pasture land.

Rains, Shows and Floods.

During the past two weeks it has rained
almost necessarily. The snow fell to the
depth of eight inches or more, in Shasta, and
was melted off by drizzling rains. On We'd
nesday evening last the Sacramento river
was at its highest stage-three feet and q
half higher than it has been at any previous
time this winter.
This freshet has done no very material
damage as all but three bridges in this coun-
ty were swept away by the previous floods.
Swinford & Knox's saw mill, at the mouth
of Spring Greek, was damaged by some of
the framed timbers and wheels being carried
of, together with some of the saw logs; also
the boarding house attached to the mill.
Waugh's ferry house, on the Sacramento
river, was carried away, together with the
small boat belonging to the ferry.
This freshet was very extensive on all the
streams in this county; but perhaps no coun-
ty in the State, except Tehama, has suffered
less, by actual loss from overflow, than
Shasta. Temporary personal inconvenience,
and peeuniary losses to a very limited yex
tent, is the summing up of the damage CAUSED
by the last great food in Shasta county.
These freshets have driven many families
from their homes along the banks of the
Sacramento, to seek safety elsewhere Some
lives have been lost, and the average loss Of
stock, by drowning and starvation, can nev.
er be ascertained.
AS these floods are liable to occur annual
ly; It becomes important to ascertain. if pos.
sible, how they can be guarded against
Hereafter let US profit by experience, and
this great catastrophe will not have been
without its benefits.

The parties having the matter in charge in
form us that nearly 5000 pieces of clothing
were distributed yesterday. Fortunately
our lady residents have kept up the supply
to considerable extent but as there is q
heavy demand for dry clothing there cannot
be too much of it left at Music Hall. The
committee were out Of stores yesterday, but
Front street responded literally to the call.

The Capital Question

Some discussion, conducted with observa-
Bile asperity, has sprung up in certain quar-
ters, over the proposition to remove the cap
ital of the State from Sacramento. The rea-
sons urged against the fitness of Sacramento
consist mostly in its susceptibility to over
flow. 1t has never been made evident to the
mind of any legislator, or anybody else, that
the citizens of the State desire that the capi-
tol should be carried any where from where
it now is. Very likely there is not a man in
the State who does not believe that large
majority of our citizens are opposed to any
removal Sacramento is the chosen seat of
government, and until it is conclusively
shown that there is no way to prevent inun-
dations, it is most unwise and impolitic to
agitate such a question. If the Legislature
cannot transact business there conveniently,
let it adjourn until the waters subside. or if
that can not be done, let that body grant an
indefinite leave of absence to all the hydro
phobic members whose boots are continually
soiled by the wet, and who cannot digest
their food in comfort, not to mention those
who, like Perkins, labor under an aggrava-
ton of the most peculiar cmbarrassments.
