MARYsvILLE, Jan. 11th.-Sunday
evening, about sundown, an armed
body of masked men numbering about
twenty, approached in boats and over
came the guard that had charge of the
lower cross levee district No. 5 at
Butte Slough, in Sutter county, bound
them and cut the levee in two places.
The extreme high stage of water at
the time in the Sacramento river
caused rapid current to pour through
the apertures which soon made wide
breach in the levee; and when our in

immense structure had succumbed to
the pressure of the water, without
doubt causing great damage to farm
ers and settlers in the district below.
