but the woman, clinging to the building, was
drowned.
Passengers who arrived at MarysVille by
the Saturday and Sunday boats, give
gloomy descriptions of the appearance Of
the country along the valleys of the Feath-
er and Sacramento rivers. A vast sheet OF
water extended from the Sierra Nevada to
the Coast Range, and the course of the
rivers could be traced only by the timber
along their banks. No land was in sight
except an occasional knoll, on which were
huddled groups of shivering cattle. The
farm houses were mostly deserted, but oc-
casionally house could be seen on the high
earth, where men we're at work shOveliDg
up slender embankments in order to avert
a total submergence. The area of the sub
merged district is estimated at an average
width of twenty miles and at least two hum
dred miles in Notwithstanding from Te-
hama, eighty milas above Marysville, to a
point in the San Joaquin valley fifty miles
south of Stockton, and from the foothills of
the Sierras to the Coast Range.
No estimate can be made Of the damages.
Hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of farm
houses have been swept away, immense
quantities fprovisiOns destroyed, and thou
sands of bead Of live stock drowned. If this
was all, the damage could be repaired; but
the farming land throughout the entire sub
merged district is probably rendered use
less-the large quantities Of sand and gram
ite tailings carried down from the mines be.
ing destructive to the soil.
1t is not improbable that the water may
rise still higher when the rise from the up
per branches of the Sacramento comes
down. The weather is still unsettled, and
if another heavy rain occurs this week rails
ing the Yuba and Feather rivers to any
thing like their former height, so that their
waters meet the great rise now coming down
the upper Sacramento, we may look out for
such an inundatiOn as does not occur often
er than once or twice in century.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-01-14

The Governor calls attention to the di'
rect tax levied by Congress, and recon-
mends that the Legislature take immediate
measures for its collection by State author
ity. The proportion for California is
s254,938 668 cents, from which deduction
of fifteen per cent will be made if collected
by the State. 4 tax oc twenty cents on the
hundred dollars will be required to make up
the amount.
The State Reform School at MarysvilIe,
il appears, has not met the expectations ol
of the humane; and the Governor recon-
mends that the delinquents be removed to
the Industrial School at San Francisco, and
the building at Marysville be devoted to
State University.
The State Insane Asylum, according to
the Report of the Resident Physician is "a
miserable failure" The Governor sug-
gests that the salary of the Asylum Ply
sician is too high, aud should be cut down.
The Governor wisely recommends that
the State School Fund should be cOnsolida'
ted, and the interest only used. lie dilate:
at considerable length upon the agricultu'
raj and commercial interests Of the State,
but has no reference to the mining interests,
which are certainly of as much Importance
as any other
The message concludes with an elaborate
essay upon Federal relations aud the present
distracted condition Of the country. The
Governors ideas upon republican insiitu'
tions in general, and the necessity of main
tanning the Union, though not entirely
original nor remarkably we'll stated, are 10
the main just, and he appropriately alludes
to the danger Of a league among European
monarchies for the suppression of republi-
eau principles on this continent. 1t appears,
however, that the war against the rebels is
carried on rather more vigorously than the
Governor thinks it ought to be, and be at
tributes to the President the purpose of
making the present trouble the occasion for
the emancipation of slaves. II Governor
Downey had read Lincobn's Late message,
with the view of ascert@ining bis real senti'
ments, we think he would have found a
pretty strong intimatiOa that the President
was opposed to any measure for the eman-
cipalion Of slaves.

STOCKTON FLooDED.-A dispatch from
Stockton to the San Francisco papers, says
the streets in that city were overfowed
about twelve O'Clock on Thursday night,
and at six O'Clock on Friday morning the
water attained ito greatest height. The
stores on the pFincipalstreets we're flooded
to the depth of ten inches, aud all the
bridges connecting the northern and south
eTn portions of the city were carried away;

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

The second annual message of Governor
Downey was transmitted to the Legislature
on Thursday last, and we received copy,
by way Of Marysville, on Saturday evening.
1t is quite lengthy document, treating
upon many subjects of interest connected
with our State Government, aud many ju.
dicious recommendations are made, which
are worthy the careful consideration of the
Legislature. We have merely space to
glance at some of the more important sub
jects treated of in the message.
The following figures show the total re-
ceipts into the State Treasury and disburse-
ments for the fiscal year ending December
18th, 1861:
Cash hand, Dec. 18th, 1860. ....... s643, 1888 20

OF the total expenditures the following
are mentioned as of an extraordinary char
acter: Interest on State Debt, $267 $50;
redemption of State bonds, $96,379 81;
bonds redeemed under State School Land
Fund, $l6,570; erection of State Reform
School, S24,S3l 81; construction of State
Capitol, S43,26S 10; reclaiming swNmp
lands, $2l, ,657 O6; support of schools,

tai Of extraordinary expenditures Of S7s4,-
967 81, which by deducting from the total
expenditures of the year, leaves balance
of s4636O6 4S, as the only sum Iegitimately
chargeable to the ordinary expenses of
carrying on the State Government, OF this
last sum, more than half was expended for
mileage, per diem, and contingent expenses
of the Legislature. The growing necessi-
ties of the State for all the institutions
which civilization and humanity have alike
combined in imposing upon the older mem.
bers of the Confederacy, some Of which
have already been inaugurated in Califor-
MIA, will necessarily create heavy expendi-
lures, and thus render strict economy in
every department an absolute necessity.
The care of the insane, of the deaf, dumb,
and blind, andlof the orphans of the State,
as well as the need of the Reform School
for youthful delinqpeuts, demand increased
appropriations; while it isa fact that must
serve foe all future estimates, that the rev.
enue cannot be augmentedin proportion to
the Increased demands. The assessed value
of property in the State is Sl47 ,Sll l6,. a
