Floods in the Sacramento Valley.
CoLUsA, Feb. 10th. 1.-The rise from
/ the Upper Sacramento river overlook
/ the rise from Stony Creek and other
/ mountain streams above Princeton,
last night, which raised the river
! some eighteen inches higher than ever
known. The flood carried away lev
ees in several place, and has Temporal
| rily flooded the country on both sides
of the river for some distance. The
| levee gave way yesterday evening
Just above Smith Il Meldelsons store
| and filled the streets from one to five
| feet deef, in o few minutes. AS peo-
| pie were pretty well prepared there
| was no very great destruction of prop
/ erty in town. Many houses have set
| tied, and rs the country Is. covered
with water for miles in every direc-
| ton there must be considerable loss
of stock. p ~
The levees giving way allowed the
water to escape in the tule on both
sides OF. the river above Colusa, so
the waterh didn't come to high
water mark by three inches. The es-
cape afforded by Parks dam being
open has prevented the flood from af-'
feeting the leyees from the mouth of
Sycamore slough down to Grand Is
land, and beyond the plains West of
here there seems to be q sheet of wa.
ter for miles. More land is covered
with water than ever was known be
fore. kilograms from Sulphur Creek
Leesville and the Mountain House say
this has been the heaviest storm ever
known. It commenced showing in
the mountains this morning and has
the appearance gilmore rain, with q
strong South wind. Two and sixty-five
hundredths inches of rain fell here.
