The Great Inundati0n.

Fifteen or twenty thousand people have been driven from their homes by the breaking of 8 levee on the bank of the Mississippi in Louisiana. A large breadth of the best cotton lands has been over flowed, and the crops ruined or greatly damaged. From Cape Girardeau to Red river there are seven or eight million acres of bOttOm-land ranking as the most pro- ductive cotton land in the world. The product of this fertile tract in Q good sea- son is worth four million dollars. A single cTevasse may lay nearly this entire tract under water. At the last accounts several thousand people, occupying the alluvial lands, had not only been driven out, but they were in starving condition. The mighty river was pouring its floods through creyasSe which no engineering skill was able to close; @ vast internal sea "a waste of water covered these rich plan tatlonS
 The Mississippi for nearly fifteen hum dred miles is confined to it's channel by levees. Each State regulates the levee system; and although the work is done at immense cost, the levees have never been
 an af1ectual barrier against great floods. The volume of water which sweeps along the valley during the Spring floods bears everything before it. Steamboats float
 plantations. There never yet has been an interstate system of making levees. Some time ago, a project was brought for ward in Congress to extend aid to the states Wnlcn were cOmpelleO CO Qe1enQ against the floods of the Mississippi. It was held that system adequate to present necessities could not be undertaken through State resources alone. That the
 work of keeping this great river in place was one Of national importance. The work never would be we'll done until it was put under national supervision. But the project failed in Congress. Most of the disasters have been occasioned by defected levees. One district may have the best, and in the next they may be too weak, and a crevasse follows. It is quite within the powers of the States bordering on the Mis- sissippi to agree upon uniform system, which would afford far greater protection than that now obtained.
 It is singular fact, that while there may
 be several floods in the Mississippi in a a single season, there is never but one rise annually in the Missouri. That occurs always in June, and is not tbe result of rain storms, but of melting snow in the mountains, about the head waters of that river. The rise is gradual, and continues for about six weeks. The receding water is never arrested by any of the fall rains, but a heavy thunderstorm along the Chic, or any of the large tributaries, will sometimes make a rise in the lower Mis- sissippi equal to two or three feet-[S.

IN The Sentinel of May Is, we find the following:
 Wm. B. Hooper & Co. have shipped dur ing the week 13,57 lbs. citizen and 3l ,376 lbs. government freight to points in the in- terior.
 David Neahr has shipped during inc week 25,000 lbs. citizen freight to TucsOn.
 We were shown last Thursday evening at the house of W. B. Hooper & Co.,, some thing to cheer the hearts Of those who are interested in the development of the min eral wealth of Arizona. Col. J. NJ. Bar ney, who has just returned from an eX- tended tour through the Territory, showed us HOO ounces of retOrted silver bullion, from the Silver Queen mine, Arnold lode. Hualpai district. This silver was taken out in arrastrars by that indefatigable miner, A. c. Hubbard, and is the result of industry, perseverance, intelligence and pluck. We also saw at the same time and place silver brick weighing 200 ounces, from the Congress mine, on the said Ar hold lode. Col. Barney informs us that there is great activity in the mines, not only in the Hualpai district but in the country around Prescott, and that many miners are receiving rich returns for their labor. All of which we are very glad to hear, as it speaks well for the future Of our rich Territory and its enterprising people.
 Tine discovery or the gold mines that we spoke of last week is fact. MT, Harris, one of the diScOvererS, showed us some specimens that beat anything that we have ever seen in Arizona in the gold line. The gold In this rock is not in specks, but sticks out in strong wires, sometimes more than quarter Of an inch from the rock. How much there is or such rock we are unable to say, but we are informed that the ledge is taken up as far as it crops out, some fifteen claims having been located Of fifteen hundred feet to the claim. Some MeXicans working at the base of the ridge s<.lN ceeded in getting a large yield of placer gold by the dry washing process. These mines are situated about twelve or fifteen miles southeast of the Castle Dome mines. We deem it but right to say that water is rather scarce there just now, but enough is found for drinking and camp purposes, and doubtless more will be found by dig ging.

THE following extract is made from cor respondence to The Oregon Sentinel, from Jackson county, of the loss of sheep in that section by the severe Winter. The letter is dated from Linkville, April 9:
 Spring is with us again, and be assured that ll4 days of snow, sleet, hail, and frost commencing December l and ending March 24) have amply prepared us to appre- ciate the beautiful weather it brings us. The snow has left the low lands in most places, and is rapidly disappearing from the hill-sides, and under the genial infu- ence of bright sun the grasses are com ing on rapidly, promising bountiful sup ply for the coming season. Stock-men, long housed in by indictment weather, are now able to ride over the range and decide with some degree of accuracy upon the profits arising from horse, cattle, and sheep husbandry. The loss of sheep has been over 42 per cent. On Sprague river the loss has been equal to about 20 per cent. These sheep had no food nor shell ter provided. Horses have done well, comparatively few having died.

JUDGE s. gave his son SI,0O0, and told him to go to college and graduate. The son returned at the end Of the freshman year without dollar, and with several ugly habits. About the close of vacation, the judge said to his son:
 Well, William, are you going to col lege this year?"
 "Have no money, father"
 But l gave you Sl,000 to graduate oa."
 "That'S all gone, father."
 "Very well, my son; I gave you all could afford to give you; you can't stay here, you must now pay your way in the world"
 4 new light broke in upon the vision of the young man. He accommodated him. self to the situation, he left home, made his way through the college, and graduat- ed at the head of his class, studied law, be- came Governor of the State of New York, entered the Cabinet of the President of the United States, and made a record for himself that will not soon die, being none other than W. H. Seward.
 That was sensible father. Most par ents would immediately have asked the son what he did with the money and how is a fellow to account for things in the " first wild thrill"

A SHORT time ago Smith 6 Barr sold a chicken to a customer. A day or two ago the customer returned and was very anX iOuS to learn from whom Smith & Barr had purchased that chicken. At first he declined to tell why he wished to know, but finally told that he had found pieces of coarse gold in the chickens crop, and was satisfied that there must be plenty of it where the chicken came from. The chicken was traced to a man and his wife who brought down lot from Lake coun- ty, and the gold-hunter started off in quest of the chicken-raisers. He is going to SCOUT the county until he finds them, and then he expects to see gold lying around on the ground loose and in great abun- dance. His faith and perseverance de- serve reward.-[Vallejo Independent.

WE gave an account last week of the killing of Mexican named Baldez by A. J. Long at Florence, on the 7th instant. Levi Ruggles, J. P. immediately after the finding of the Coroner's jury, issued Q warrant for the arrest of MT. Long and the next day held an examination of the prisoner. There appearing sufficient cause from the evidence elicited at this examination the justice held Leng to answer before the next district court, upon a charge of manslaughter. Bail was fixed at 5000 and NJ. L. Stiles and J. W. Sweeny appearing as bondsmen, prisoner was released.

Sumner, came on to Washington and asked Mr. James, who was a very large man, of fiery spirit, yet cool in affrays, what he would do. Said James: If 1t were my brother, would do this: Take a short double barrelled shot gun, put it under my cloak and walk up to the House of Representatives, and right in his chair, as he attacked my brother, would blow him to pieces. George Sumner said he could not do this, and he did nothing.
