New DITCH ENTERpRIzE.-The want Of a

NEW DITCH ENTERpRIzE.-The want Of
greater supply of water for mining purposes,
10 the extensive and rich districts lying be-
tween the North and Middle Forks Of the
American river has been seriously felt for
years; and to obviate this, claim has long
since been made to water rights on the head
Of these streams, with the intention of conf
veyng the water by bitches to points high
enough on the divide" to distribute it to
all the prominent camps below. The neces-
sity of carrying forward such an enterprize
was admitted by all miners, but the requis'
ite large capital was not obtanable, and the
project languisbed. Last season, one Of
North Fork of the American, was sold to
Eastern capitalists, and we are informed
there is no doubt the new proprietors will
commence the construction Of ditch this
summer, from that stream, to be brought to
the top of the divide" above Michigan
Bluff, from whence water can be distributed
to the important towns of Michigan Bluff,
Forest Hill, Todd's Valley, Yankee Jim's
Iowa and Wisconsin Hills, and other camps
The capacity of the ditch will be large, and
it is asserted that it will be able to supply
three thousand inches Of water daily, in the
dryest season Of the year.
The parties owning this franchise are rep,
resented to have abundant means to carry
forward the work, and high hopes are en-
tertained, that when the additional amount
Of water ito what is furnished by the pres
ent ditcbes) is brought in, new era Of pros
perty will be given to a mining district
that has heretofore been one of the most
productive in the State.

Eastern N eWs.

The telegraph has been silent for two days
and we are without news later than the oath
of April from New York, and from Sherman
only down to the Goth. A steamer arrived
at Fortress Monroe on the 2lst from Beau
fort, North Carolina, bringing intelligence
that Sherman's right wing occupied Colds
boro, on the 10th, and had affected juno
ton with Schofield. There is no Federal ac
count of the position of the rebel forces; but
an account is given from the Richmond pa
pers of dispatch from Gen. Johnston under
date of 10Th, in which be claims to have
driven back Sherman's left wing, near Ben
tonvile, capturing three guns.
1t is reported that Sherman has demanded
large reinforcements, and that they are 60
ing to him, by sea, to Newborne.
Sheridan's raid has terminated by his ar
rival at the White House, on the Pamunkey
river He destroyed much property, but the
main object of the expedition, to cut the
western and south western communications
VI lliCu!UOu'I, W do q
Considerable activity prevails at Richmond
and Petersburg, but no fighting.
The dispatches contain more than the
usual number of statements that the Confed
crates are deserting, starving, despondent.
and on the point of giving up, but these sem
sation stories have been repeated SO often in
the last four years, that no sane man now
gives the least credence to them. The N.
York Herald, the chief of sensation news
papers, is particularly industrious in giving
circulation to these untruthful statements.
Correspondents report much talk in Paris
about approaching difficulties between
France and the United States. Louis Napo
leon is reported to have lately declared his
determination to uphold Maximlian as Em
peror of Mexico; and this, taken in connec-
tion with the tone Of speakers in the French
Senate, is looked upon as threatening. But
Paris gossip is as frequently sensational as
that Of New York.
An eastern telegram announces the presi
ence of the Confederate cruiser, Shenandoah,
at Melbourne, Australia, on the 18th of Feb
ruary, having DESTROYED eleven American
vessels between that place and the Cape of
Good Hope. This news has created consd'
cradle anxiety among those engaged in the
shipping interests at San Francisco, as they
fear the cruiser may commence operations
against the outward bound and homeward
vessels OF that port.

MINING PRosPEcrs We were informed
by gentleman, last evening, who has Just
returned from a tour through the mining
districts in the upper portion Of Yuba and
Nevada counties, that he never before saw
such general mining activity as prevails
generally throughout that portion of the
country. While the heavy works are being
pushed forward with great activity, he says
that wherever water has been introduced
rockers and pans have been brought into
service, and he believes the present mining
season, which has hardly yet been opened,
VIII be the most prosperous that has been
known for many years. Cal. Express.

A SUCCESSFUL BoRE.-The arid waste of
the Desert of Sahara under the hands Of en-. /.
terprising Frenchmen, is to be clad with YER,
dure, and water is TO spring up in abundance
to the surface wheresoever required. Five
places are named where deep wells have been
sunk on the artesian principle, and the result
has been food of water to the surface,
continuous and vast. Beside this, there is
something for the epicure. who, on his trav,
els, has tasted only dried meat, dates and
dried fish, for fish have come to the surface
with the stream, which flows from some mys.
terious source beneath the crust of the earth.

A letter from Mexico says that Cardinal
Wiseman, in concurrence with the Emperor
MaximiIian and the Archbishop of Mexico.
has conceived project for directing to Mex
leo the Irish emigration. The intended col.
ony would be settled on the banks of the
Goalzacoalco, in The sthmus of 1ehuantapec.
on points which experience has pointed ont
as being those where il would be most easy
10 find suitable climate. The colony will
also serve to provide laborers for the excava
ton of a canal between the Goatzacoaco
and the Uspau, which would thus cross the
isthmus, and serve to convey the valuable
wood derived from the virgin forests which
border those rivers We hope that such a
colony will obtain the assistance of com

CHANGES IN THE MEXICAN GovERNMEN1

CHANGES IN THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
During her forty years of independence,
the government of Mexico changed forty six
times. Gen. Lopez de Santa Anna, a former
President, was elected twelve times in a pe
rod of ten years. In the forty years of I'M
dependence, the system of Government
changed from the Empire into the Triumvi
rate, then into the Federation, then into the
Central and Absolute Dictatorship, then into
the elective Presidency, and now again into
an Empire. Each Of these changes" says
our author, "required the sacrifice of human
life, as is proved by the war history of the
Hidalgo Emancipation Proclamation until
the present day, Of tbree-fourths of a million
of souls"
