THE YuBA DAM.

The Marysville appeal of December
3Oth furnishes the following:
A week ago during the high water and
heavy rains small portion of the earth
work connecting the brush debris dam with
the high bank on the north side was dam.
aged by washing, as the water eddied back
toward the brush dam in order to escape.
It was not then and is not now considered
as cause for alarm or worthy of public
notice, and the spreading of false reports
over the State. But some of the Chico
papers that are opposed to the public i'm
provements, jealous of anything which
works more directly to the benefit of Ma
rysville than Chico, and some other papers
that are disposed to be fair but are eager
for news, obtained from an entirely ire
sponsible source and published very ex-
aggerated and incorrect report of the con-
dition of the dam, and the injury to result
from the damage to the earth-work con-
nection. Some of them, with apparent
exultation, even announced that the dam
had washed away. If they are willing to
accept and print all stories that may be
circulated from such sources they will
probably be more than once deceived. The
fact of the matter is that the dam is still
there and faithfully doing its work. The
top of portion of the earth-work, before
mentioned, has hoated of, but the water
has not cut to the base of the bank and is
still within foot or two of the top of the
dam all the way across, and running over
it in places. The end of the dam next to
the washed EARTH work is well protected
by crib of logs and is not injured or en-
dangered. The river is still falling, and
when the storm ceases for few days and
the water lowers, the authorities intend to
put force of men at work, repair the
damage, rectify the mistake and strengthen
the point at which the water worked the
injury. This they can certainly do after
the water is lowered, as the injured place
is away from the main channel and dam.
The brush will certainly stay there, and
the authorities have no fear whatever that
the damage will not be repaired and the
great structure continue to be success.

RUSSIA AND CHINA.

England appears to be becoming alarmed
at Russia's preparations for war with
China. It is no doubt true that Russia
has during the past year dispatched a
number of war vessels into the Pacific
ocean, but it is hardly the fact that these
vessels constitute formidable fleet, armed
with guns of tremendous caliber and range.
They are for the most part gunboats, and
we believe the largest is corvette. They
are no doubt sufficiently powerful and
numerous to defeat any naval force China
would be able to bring into action, with

The Comparative Endurance Of Men and
Horses.

PROBABLY no man in the country had
a wider field for the study of the horse
than General Pleasonton had during
the war. I asked him about the COM
parative endurance of men and horses
in the army. He said that infantry
men, if properly fed and clothed,
would march farther in a week than
cavalry, and that he believed that hui
man endurance was greater than that
of any animal, if such q comparison
may be made. Half the trouble with
horses is that they are not properly
cared for. They would often endure
thrice as much If people knew how to
manage them. If infantry are on the
march q careful Captain will see that
his men, when halt is made, are made
to rest. Their accouterments are re-
moved, and if possible they are urged
to wash their feet in cold water. Cot
fee is made. and when they start off
again they are new men. Horses, on
the contrary, are generally made to
stand with saddles and brides on and
very frequently heavy man on top.
OF course there can be no comparison
between q cavalryman and an infant
ryman. The former has much the
harder life. He Is scouting when the
infantryman is resting, and at night,
when the march is over, the infantry
man makes his coffee, broils his pork.
eats heartily, spreads his blanket, and
in two minutes he is gathering flowers
with his sweetheart in the meadows at
home. The cavalryman. on the other
hand, is, in all probability, gathering
forage for his poor horse. He has to
feed his nag as well as himself, and he
has to take care of his equipments,
and to battle the poor beasts back and
rub down his tired legs-perhaps fix a
bit or sew broken girth. Washington
