WASHINGTON ENRICHED BY THE REBELLION.
Col. Forney writes from Washington to the
Philadelphia Press:
believe if vote could be taken to.mor-
row in this city, SO out Of every 100 citi-
zens would declare in favor of the Govern
ment and against rebellion. The process
by which this wonderful change has been
effected is curious one. Patriotism and
policy, principal and interest, have COM
pined with singular rapidity to convince
the good people of Washington Of the bene-
ficence of the Federal Government. AS
pass along the avenue meet men who, only
few months ago, were rampant against
Mr.. Lincoln, and. if he had dared, would
have prevented his inauguration by force
These very men are now coming enormous
fortunes, some of them gathering profits of
from $500 to 81 900 day. Property that
rented six months ago for $500, is now co.
gerly leased at 81 900 year. The money
being made by Presbury, Chadwick a
Sykes, at Willard's Hotel. If set out in plain
figures, would surprise their friends 10 Phil
adelpha. Northern capitalists arrive here
daily on prospecting tours" and large
company is being formed for the purpose
of purchasing the deserted farms Of the Sc
cessionists in this neighborhood. These Sc
cessionists, many of whom are honest in
their belief of the wrong, are so broken
hearted at the idea of the triumph of the
Union movement, that they have resolved
either to go to Texas or to Europe, and
will doubtless be glad to sell out at low
rates. Washington, indeed, is the most
favored spot in the United States since this
war began. However other sections may
feel its desolating effects, here it can only
produce prosperity and wealth,

ELEvATED.-Many lots and blocks of land
in this city have been much elevated by de-
post left by the food. In the eastern por-
tion whole blocks have been covered to the
depth Of four TO eight eet with sandy soil,
so that the caves of houses either one story
dwellings or out houses, are on level with
the new made soil. Aud the east levee, in
the vicinity of the Fort, has secured a back
ing which no press of water can break
through. In some young orchards the tree
tops just peep above the soil. while else
where the vines are all under. The 4 street
levee is total wreck for its entire length,
there Eeing in many places no semblance Of
it left, and the east levee is not In much
better condition. Rabel's tannery property
and his dwelling seem to be secured against
the current of the American. A great sand
bar, very nearly as high as the natural sur
face of the bank, bas been formed in front
of bis property which directs the current
from him and forces it to strike the bank
lower down, where the break is through
which the steamer Gem was carried by the
force of the water. He has secured per-
manent and most substantial bulkhead at
that point. A sand bar is forming in the
American just below the break, which helps
direct the water into the city, but when the
river falls so as to be within its banks il is
very probable that the current will move
that bar.-[Sac. Bee.

DAMAGE ON BEAR RvER.-The Auburn
Herald of Jan. 25th says:
From all accounts the several freshets
have caused incalculable damage TO the
splendid farming lands on Bear river. Per-
baps no stream in the State, of the same
size, contained SO large deposit of debris
of the mines, it being the receptacle of the
taiings from extensive diggings in Placer
and Nevada counties. In places the depos-
it was thirty and forty feet in depth. Much
of this material has been washed to the val
ley. and spreading over the bottom lands
of Bear river. has, in places, left five and
six feet of sand gravel. We doubt if the
loss of cattle, fencing, grain, etc.. will COM
pare with the damage caused by this filing
in process. At Johnson's crossing, Bear
river is said to have changed its channel
the main stream being through the slough,
a short distance south of the old river This
diversion Of the stream saved the bridge
over Bear river, as that structure has with
stood all the foods in safety. The slough
(or river,) is crossed by ferry.

More Trouble with England.

The New York correspondent of the Bull
letin, writing about the time Of the Mason
aud Slidell excitement, says:
According to the especial kilograms from
Washington, the newest phase of the Eng
lish difficulty is demand on the part of
Great Britain for the speedy re.adjustment
of the Northern boundary question, which
she maintains has not been settled in accor-
dance with her ideas of what would be right
aud proper in the premises. She wants q
straight frontier line from Canada East TO
the Atlantic. This would bring her bOun-
dares down to about latitude 45 degrees,
giving her the bigger half of Maine, to-
gether with that small corner of New Hamp.
shire which is wedged in between Maine
and Canada. The reason for this preposter-
Gus demand is said TO be, that the claimant
wants the territory to construct through it
great military road from the Canadas to
Halifax. But why to Halifax, when, with
the control of the territory which it is said
she wants, and which she will undoubtedly
get for the asking, she could carry her
grand Trunk Railroad in line as straight
as the bee flies from Quebec to the mouth
of the st. Croix, in Passamaquoddy Bay
1t is passing strange that our good Mother
has not made known to us, before this cri-
sis, this want of hers.
And then we are told, through the same
reliable information, that England is going
to reopen the Oregon boundary question
and the San Juan affair, and what not So
that, even should the Mason and Slidell
question be settled amicably--and, by the
way, l hear that the question has been set
tied peacefully, aud that the rebel Commis-
sioners are TO be given up-should this
question, say, be settled to the satisfaction
of England, there are likely to be other
matters out of which that Government can
make cdusus beIi should she be determined
to pick quarrel with us. And so, asks the
Evening Post and some other journals, what
is the use in giving up Mason and Slidell
England cares nothing about those miser-
able rebels, and should we put them into
her hand tomorrow, she, being bent on war
would Immediately push forward some other
claim on which to provoke it.

LIvERMoRE VALLEY.-Mr. Street, who is
connected with the telegraph lines, on Sat-
urday and Sunday last passed from Alvu-
RADIO up through the county of Alameda
and up the head waters of Alameda creek,
which rises in the Diablo range near Liver
more's Pass. He describes the deluge 10 all
that region as being perfectly frightful.
Neutrality-suspicious., harrows, plows, and all
sorts of farming utensils and every variety
of movable property bad been swept away
from the farms. Much of this was seen
lodged high up 10 the forks and branches Of
trees. An old Californian, born 10 that
county and now sixty years Of age, informed
Mr.. Street that the Alameda creek had been
eight feetIhigher this food than be has ever
before seen it. The loss in stock between
the San Joaquin and Diablo range on this
route, is represented as very great, and still
the waters keep at their highest mark

The RoAD OVER THE MOUNTAINs.-The
Placerville Democrat of January 25th has
the following:
A gentleman who arrived in this place
yesterday morning from Virginia City in
forms Os that il is difficult and dangerous
and extremely unpleasant to cross the
mountains at this time. He came part of
the way on horseback aud part on foot. He
says in a week, if the weather keeps good,
the road can pc put in good travelling con-
ditiOn for pack trains, and in a month for
teams. There was but little snow on the
mountains; the weather was clear, cold and
freezing. Goss, the superintendent of the
county road, is vigorously at work on it,
and the proprietors of public houses on it
are rendering him every assistance. They
are filing up the gulleys, shoveling off the
small stones, clearing away the brush and
removing the trees and boulders, which
cover aud obstTuct it at many places. 1t
will take a large force to remove some of
the trees and boulders, and the superinten-
dent is authorized to employ large num-
Der of hands when they can be worked ad.
vantageously. The weather is too unsettled
for him to do SO at present. The freshet
washed away the walls on part Of il, and it
will take some time to put them up as
strongly as they were before the food, but
they can be temporarily repaired so as to
admit Of travelling.

ROYAL GRATTTUDE.-John Turner aged
81 years. died lately in London workhouse,
though had it not been for a gallant act on
his part, Queen Victoria would have met
with a violent death. lie was formerly a
victuler. On the 9th Of July, 1887, the
four horses of the Queens carriage, con-
tanning her Majesty and the Prince Leinin-
gan, took fright on the top Of Higbgate
Hill, and dashed down the steep. Turner,
at the risk of his life, got the wheel horses
by the head just in time to enable her Ma
jesty to jump out. On the following day
deceased attended Buckingham Palace. in
answer to a summons from Sir H. Whately,
who gave him GlO, and requested him to
put up the Royal Arms to commemorate
The event, which be did, costing e20. lie
was also informed that her Majesty would
always be his friend. He had since made
constant application to Prince Albert, but
had no further recognition OF his services
This so preyed upon his mind that at lasi
he became an imbecile and an inmate Of the
workhouse.
