INFRINGEMENT OP ExPENsEs.-Mr. COnk-
lin, mem er Of Congress from New York.
has presented bill for the retrenchment of
national expenses, which embodes the fol-
lowing ideas:
I. A reduction of twenty-five per cent. on all
salaries, civil, naval and military, amounting to
$4,000 year or over, including emouments.
2. A similar reduction of twenty per cent.
where the salaries and emoluments are over
So, 900 and under $4,000
3. Similar reduction of twenty per cent. on
compensations between $4,000 and 900.
4. The reduction of salaries of members Of
Congress to $1,000 per annum, subject to for
feiture of $40 for each time that member does
not answer to his name on a CALI of the ayes
and noes, and the reduction of milage to ten
cents per mile from the post Office nearest the
members residence to Washington City,. esti-
mated by the nearest mail route.
5, The absolute and total abolition Of the
franking privilege.
6. The cessation Of the system of appointing
supernumerary officials, and the reduction Of
the officials in all the Departments of the Gov
ernmcnt to the number actually requisite for
the proper transaction of business.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-11

UNIFORM CURRENCY Secretary Chase in
his late report to Congress, suggests plan
for a uniform paper currency. and which,
IN bis opinion will aid the Government IN
Erecting the loans necessary for carrying on
the war.
It's principal features are, lst) circulation
of notes bearing common impression and au-
thenticated by a common authority; (2d) the
redemption Of these notes by the associations
and institutions to which they may be delivered
for issue and Sd the security of that redemp-
ton by the pledge Of United States stocks, and
an adequate provision of specie.
The notes are to be receivable for all pub
lie dues. except customs, and as they would
be secured by U. s stocks they would pass
current in all parts of the country. The
plan is similar TO that now in force in New
Yoi and other States, except that The notes
would be issued under Federal instead OF
State authority and as they would circu-
late freely in every section of the Union, 1t
wonld be TO the interest Of all solvent bank
ing institutions to withdraw their circula-
ton issued undtr State authority. and sub
stitule that provided by the authority Of the
Federal Government. Thus, through the
voluntary action Of existing institutions,
the great transition from currency heter
ogeneous, unequal and unsafe, 10 Que uni
form, equal aud safe, may be speedily and
almost imperceptibly accomplished.
The plan, if adopted by Congress under
proper restrictions, would certainly be an
improvement upon the present paper cur
rency system oftbe different Eastern States;
but it would be a bad thing for California.
1t would authorize the circulation Of paper
money in this State, and bank bills would
soon take The place Of our gold an silver
currency.

INDIAN PREDICTIONS are informed
that the Indians living in the vicinity of
Marysvile, left their abodes week or more
ago, for the foothills, predicting an unprc-
Cedented overflow. They told the whites
that the water would be higher than it has
been for thirty years, aud pointed high up
on the trees and houses where it would
come. The valley Indians have traditions
that the water occasionally rises fifteen or
twenty feet higher than il has been at any
time since the country was settled-by whites,
and as they live in the open air, and watch
closely all the weather Indications, it is not
improbable that they may have better means
than the whites Of anticipating a great
storm.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-11

MATTERS AT THE SOUTH.-The Cincinnati
Commercial processes TO have full and au-
,bentic information from all parts OF the
Soutb. which warrants in making these
statements:
The blockade is terribly effective. The fact
ia confessed. and famine and panic prices, pre-
vail. The wealthiest families of the south are
living meanly, and apologize to their visitors
for the meapreness of their fare. The Union
men rejoice in the privations incident 10 tne
blockade, and comfort themselves by the con-
sideration that the Secessionists are the great
est sufferers. The tightness of the blockade,
and the constant gathering of the armies OF tne
Union. the now admitted courage of the North
ern troops, the failure of England and France
to recognize the supremacy Of cotton, the money
resources of the Federal Government, which
seem inexhaustible, are having Their effect even
upon the most reckless of the conspTatOrs'
Nothing but the prestige of a few successes,
Immensely magnihed by systematic lying, mas
kept the rebels in heart up to this time. Mucn
dissatisfaction with the Richmond Government
is felt. 1t is denounced on every side as DIS
tinruished by imbechity and faVoritism, IN a
style compared with which the criticisms on
the legitimate Government by the Northern
journals is moderate. With good management
the war may be closed before the first annlVer-
sary of the bombardment OF Sumter.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-11
Overflow Anticipated.

Judging from the quantity of rain that
has fallen in the past few days, and taking
into account that the streams were all up,
the ground thoroughly soaked, and the
sloughs and ravines full of water, there is
every reason TO believe that the Feather
and Sacramento river valleys are now be-
ing desOlated by food, such as has never
occurred since the spring Of 1928. The
most intense anxiety prevails here TO learn
something of the fate of MarysviIe and Sac
ramento and the inhabitants Of the valleys
generally. 1t is feared, and not without
reason, that both towns have been destroy
cd, and that thousands of lives may have
been lost. If the storm has extended all
over the northern part of the State, as there
is every reason to believe IL has, the water
will rise high over the Sacramento levee,
and flood the city to the depth of six to ten
feet 10 the highest streets, and fifteen to
twenty feet in the lower parts Of the city.
1t is probable that many Of the inhabitants
left for The mountains in the early part Of
the week, and If the people ofSan Francisco
knew of the danger in time, they would GER
tainly send up boats to take the population
below. At Marysville, the rivers rise and
foil very suddenly, and unless the most Of
Of the population left in anticipation of an
overflow, the destruction Of life must have
been terrible. From the fact that the
streams in the mountains rose several feet
higher, and remained up much longer, than
Of the time Of the former overflow, we con.
clude that the water must be eight or ten
feet deeper at Marysville to-day, than it
was on the 9th ult.
LATER.-Since the above was 10 type,
and just as we were going to press, the
Marysville stage arrived, bringing the pa
pers of yesterday morning. From the Ex.
press, we learn that the Yuba rose slowly
during Thursday but at five o'clock in the
evening, it commenced rising at the rate Of
six inches an hour, and continued at that
rate until eleven o'clock.
On Friday morning, as we learn from
Mr.. Hanson, who came up in the stage, the
water was rising at the rate Of foot an
hour, and yet the people did not appear
TO be anywise alarmed. They will prob
abby remain in the town, in fanced secu-
rity, until the waters are upon them.
Dispatches from the upper Feather and
Sacramento state that those streams were
rising rapidly. AT Oroville, the river rose
from five to six feet on Thursday, and at
Colusa the Sacramento was higher than at
the former food.
A telegram from Carson City, dated
Thursday, says terrible storm was then
raging in Nevada Territory. Carson City
and Eagle Valley we're partially flooded,
aud The mills on Carson river were sup
posed TO be in danger.

A NOTIFIED CRow.-For some weeks back,
crow, with white wings, has been frequently
seen in this vicinity, Ukia, Mendocino county,
and good many efforts have been made to
capture him. He was finally bagged one day
this week by a sportsman of this place. 1t is a
freak of nature not often iRdulged in, and we
have heard Of no one hereabout who has ever
before seen such thing. The crow is as black
as any of its species, with the exception of the
wing feathers, which are as pure white as
snow. He has been sent to San Francisco for
preservation.-M Mendocino Herald

A SENSATION STORY SPoILED.-The mys-
terry which surrounded the discovery of steam
boat wheel floating down theSan joaquin river,
and which gave rise to serious apprehensions
for the safety of the Seventy-Six, has at last
been cleared up, leaving no opportunity for
anything of sensation character-not even a
wreck to say nothing of an explosion. The boat
is safe and sound at some point on the Upper
San Joaquin, her wheel having been displaced
for the purpose of making. some repairs, and
during the night carried down the river by the
freshet.-[ Stockton Independent.

DEAD LETTERs.-It appears by the report
of the Postmaster General, that the number
OF dead letters received and examined du.
ring the last fiscal year was 2,550,000. In
relation to these letters, the Postmaster
General says:
The result of successful investigation in
1858 cases confirms the past experience of the
Department, that the failure of letter to reach
its destination is, in the vast majority of in
stances, the fault alone of the writer or sender.
Out of the above 1858 valuable dead letters,
1905 were directed to the wrong Office, 467
were imperfectly addressed; 6l2 were directed
to transient persons; 257 to parties who had
changed their residences, S2l were addressed to
fictitious persons or firms; SO were uncalled for;
10 without any directions; 2, 1876 were not mail
ed, for want Of postage stamps; 10 were mis-
sent; and for the failure Of Postmasters to de-
liver 1873, no satisfactory reason was assigned.
The Department therefore can justly be held
responsible for the non-delivery of but 2i2 of
these letters. Out of 76,769 letters originating
in the loyal States, and addressed to residents
Of disloyal States, 10000 could not be returned,
either because the signature Of the writer was
incomplete, or because the letter contained no
clue to his residence. The experience of the
Department shows that a large proportion of
domestic letters, written by educated persons,
particularly women, are deficient in one or both
of these respects.
