THE FLOOD.


San Francisco, Feb. 5.-The latest from
Sacramento, is to the effect that no danger
whatever is to be apprehended within the
limits of the city levces. In the outlying
portion Of the city, south R. St., the levee
is flooded, the water standing in some houses,
to the depth of two feet; but that neighbor-
hood is thinly populated, and the overflow
is not productive fany extensive loss. The
principal damage falls upon farmers and
orchardista, for distance Of thirty miles
below the city, and rough estimate places
the loss to them, in the neighborhood Of one
million dollars. The details of the exten,
Of the disaster must necessarily, however,
come in slowly, and the above estimates
may prove excessive. From the confgur-
alton of the ground, it is not impossible
that at point, some miles below the city,
the great portion Of III G Aeod, water may
be turned of into sloughs, to the eastward
ofthe improved property, and much Of the
latter saved from the worst effects Of the
overflow.

IN the direction of barbarism and violence.
perseverance, with the vote could only dem
onstrate that the nation was divided. He
conceded the necessity Of supporting the
government by some declarations before she
entered the conference. 1t would serve the
government in using their influence to ir.
duce Russia to relinquish her claim for the
retrocession of Bessarabria, also in every-
thing 10 relation to the free navigation of
the Danube and in obtaining liberal terms
for Turkey as far as consistent with the in.
terests of Turkeys subjects.
Lathorne Henry, secretary of war point
ed out that the government was ignorant ol
the conditions Of arnistice and the Russian
armies had reached point which, if The
negotiations failed, might be dangerous fol
Europe. 1t was important to be prepared
because tie wars of late were sudden and
unforeseen. The Russian bases of peace
were exceeding vague, and although the
government had been told that the condi
ton relative to the straits was Withdrawn
1t still remained. The governments obiec
