FILLING UP.-It is reported that Feather
River, below the mouth of the Yuba, has filed
up so much with sand, that it is difficult, even
with the present stage Of water, for heavilf
loaded steamers to ascend to Marysville
such is the case, and the Spring freshets do not
clear out the channel, navigation. at low water,
will be very difficult, if not impossible.

Coop The Stockton Independent says
Having run the servant girl discussion quite
into the ground the great question with the
San Francisco papers now is, "does a quart
can really hold a quart Of milk" This is
proper question for calves to decide.

Considerable business was transacted on the
wharf yesterday. The river still continues TO
fall slowly. All of the upper streams are low
and falling.
For HELENA.-The Henry Won Phul, Capt.
German, Uncle Sam & Co, agents, departs this
morning at 9 o'clock for Helena.
The splendid, fast running steamer G. W
Graham, Capt. Terrill, will leave for Cairo and
St. Louis this day at o'clock P. N. Il. L.
McGhee & Co., are her agents, and will sign
bills of lading to all points East Secure your
berths early, as the Graham always carries out
a cabin full of passengers.
We did not hear of single item of interest
yesterday connected with river matters worthy
of mention On, for an item By way of pass
time, we insert Same years ago long, shaky,
blue-eyed "genius" secured a berth on the
steamer Forest Rose, lying at St. Louis, and
bound for the Red river trade. Our hero had
conceived himself capable Of compiling and
transmitting to well-known journal in the
locality of his "psrient's home such items of
interest as might occur on this his first journey
on ye mighty waters. Not far from the head
of Island 40 the boat encountered terrible
storm, the wind blowing from the south, catch
ing the current, caused the waves to run high,
and it was attempted more than once to land
the toat, but as she was stern-wheeler, the
pilot could not manage her. In ono of the
attempts to make landing she swung round
suddenly and broke of both rudders. The
"poectical correspondent was on the lookout
for an item-he was not disappointed, and as
he perceived the dilemma that the boat was
in-being somewhat i'aspired-rushed into the
cabin and pennSd a four line description of
the scene, thus:
I" She pitched and heaved, and heavsd and pitched,
And up her rudder flung,
And every time she pttchedand heayed
ioasser leak she sprung"

THE HARVEST ABRoAD.-Ths news from
Europe represents the crops as being deficient
this season. Too much rain has been ex-
perienced, and too little warm dry summer
weather. The harvests of England, Southern
France and Portugal, viii not reach fair
average. Had the grain crops of Europe been
abundant, We would have good reason to fear
Intervention in our affairs by England and
France. The deficient crops will make these
governments indisposed to do anything to cut
off their food supplies from North America.
The bad weather viii do more to keep the
peace between the United States and France
and England than anything else. The suffer
ings of European factory operatives will, how
ever, be fearfully increased.
