    THE GREAT CALIFORNIA PLOOD.;
gHundreds of Chinamen Drowned.
Our latest California exchanges are
largely taken up with accounts of the rc
markatle flood thich recently vi?ited
that State, causiug an immense detruc
tion of property.
The flood was enured by heavy lams
whiob melted the snow in the mountains
by . which the various stream, were rapid
ly. swollen and rose to a great hight. At
Sacramento the lerce of the American
River first gave way, letting an immense
volume of water m upou tnc eastern sec
tion of the city. The tendency of the
carrent was along the southern section o
the city the Il-stroct levee datnm.iu3 it
up and preventing.its natural flow toward
Suttervillo.
he streets in that quarter were quick
iy filled by the advancing waters, which
noved so fast that the residents bad
hsrdly time to realize their situation be
fore the floods were upon them. Many
woaaen and children were hemmed in by
the waters before they got away from
their homes, and had to be removed by
means of hor?es, mules, wagons, &o. A
early as 9 o'clock in the morning, says
The Sacramento Union, tferc was a vcrj
general movement among stock owaer-
and lively stable keepers to drive out of
the city hor.es, mules, cattle, hogs, &oM
and throughout the day Icrgo quantities
of stock were driven across the aolo
bridge and down the levee toward Sut
tervillo. The water at 10 o'clock wa. so
ticep at the lower portion of tho city as to
ect afloat and tum over a large number
of hou-cs in tho vicinity of Fifth und
Sixth ntreets. From very many of thro
houses womin could bchueti at door and
windows calling for bot, which were for
a time source, and for a v. bile it jeerid
as though many li c must inevitably b
tost. All the boat; at the levee were
boon brought into requisition for the pur
pose of rcsouini them, and they were re
moved to places of safety.
When the water arrived in the vicinity
q the Pavilion, corner of Sixth and 31
streets, that LuiWiu was thrown open
for tho reception of the flying refugee
and during the day the Howard Uenevo
lent Society accommodated th.re some
200 persons, keeping 4 boats constantly
running, to bring off those who bad uo
means of transportation. This number
was fo-i by a cauldiou being prepared foi
the supply of .oup, and a upply of blan
kets was furnished them at night.
Tho flood continued to advance, and
soon after 1 o'clock, M, L, K. and J
streets were from 2 to 4 feet under water.
The inmates of one story residences gen
orally deserted them, while tie occupant?
of two-story bouses hastily removed their
property into the upper .-tory. Tho cellars
in the town were, of course, Oiled with
water, and lare quantities of .tore were
deftroyed. Boats, scows, rafts, and evc
rv iuiasiuiblekind of water craft were
brought into requisition. At 11 o'clock
in the forenoon, the chain gang cut an o
pening in the It street lc.ee, between
Fifth aud Sixth streets. The water
rushed through in a perfect torrent, and
a large number of hou-es in the vicinity
were snept alon an-J dashed to frag
ments. Thi- operation had the effect of
reducing the depth of water on J and K
Ftreets about, a foot, by 3, o'elock
Late in the evening, when the
cq'it.iL
.
riuru of water on each -i;c of R street
was established, the back water Oiled up
all portions of the city, and attained a
higher point than that of the earlier pe
nod of the day. Several persons were
drowned during the day. During the
greater portion of the day, the only dry
portions of the city were I street, the ri
ver front, the R street levee, and Pover
ty Ridge. I . troct and the levee were
crowded muh of the day with live stork,
which was token there for safety. Id the
evening, loany boats were occupied in
taking pa. enters to ani from the very
few restaurauts and hotels that were able
to furni-h meals. The ino-t of them had
their fires extinguished, and were there
fore unable to do their cooking. The
stealer Sallow attempted to pas
through the drawbridge iu the afternoon,
but was da-bed against the pier, staviD
in her side, and ycren-ly injuring two of
ber passengers, Miss Elizabeth Near and
Mrs. M. Wycr.
The railroads were obliged to suspend
operations, and toward night the toad to
Sutterville and Camp Uuiou was render
ed impassable. At tuudowc the water
was 21 feet above low water mark, but
et 10 o'clock had receded an inch or two.
On the 13th of December the flood had
eo far abated that the two principal street
were again in travelling coudition through
a part of their ltogth. The general ap
pearance of the flooded city oa tho 10th,
and some idea of the damage done, are
thus described and given by The Union.-
The morning sun yosterday ro-e bright
nnd beautiful over our city, but its beams
fell upon a desolate and dreary sceue.
The waters bad subsided during the
Bight three or four feet, leaving L street
and all the streets north of it beds of aui.
strewn with planks from sidewalks and
crossings, and amid which boats and
rafts, used in their navigation the day be
fore, lay helplessly stranded. South of
L street, however, all the city was still
submerged, and boats and rafts afforded
the only means of locomotion in them.
The B.eene iu this part of the city,
where the first fury of the flood was
epcut, was one of dismal devastation.
Scores of capsized houses lay where they
bad been lodged against trees or other
capsized aud toppling dwelling, great
piles of stray lumber ana wood were
floating about, and carcasses of drowned
cattle horses, and swine here and there
dUfigured the general wreck, amid which
boats and raft were plying industriously,
filled with people in search of tbeir dam
aged household effects.
On Ninth street, between K and B,
were the bodies of fourteen or fifteen bor
sea. and tho loss of property belonging
to fa milieu resident there was especially
large.
Tho flood was also very severe at Ma
ryesille, and accompanied ,hj startling
catastrophes, as-we .earn by Tfie Marys
vjlle Apjical. That papcr'of tho 14tb'ult
says: Marysvillo is now slowly emerg
jng-from a flood more disastrous and ex
tensive in its character than any which
has been kuown sincu the rlace was set
tied by white people. On Saturday' the
rivers were slowly rising, but not rapidly
cuough to justify the opinion that there
would be much of a floodj but by Sunday
morning at daylight it was found that the
Yuba had backtd np into the slough to
saoh an extent that the lower part of the
town below 15 street was in danger, and
tho flats were fast filling up with water
The rain continued to fall iu torrents dur
in" all of Sunday, and by night one sbce
of water was stretched from the slough
above Third street to the Yuba,- making
island, of mo.-t of tho buildings below 13
street, on both sides of the slough, below
Fourth street. All night long of Sunday
the rain fell in sheets, and the wind blew
furiously, adding to the terrors of those
who watcned through the night.
About daylight on Monday morning
the outer side wall of J. K. Luton's store,
on the Plaza, fell, with a tremendous
crash, tho foundation having been com
pletely undermined by the water, which
had now risen to such an extent as to
cover the whole of that part of the city,
except where the street was higher than
the adjacent lots. Mr. ii.atous family
reside iu the upper part of tho store, and
they were hurried out at once, in their
night clothes, and taken to tbe Merchants'
Hotel around the comer, on Jbirst btreet,
and in about ten minutes after, to the
horror of every one, the floors of that
building gave way, and a great portion of
the interior of the hotel was presipitated
iu a ram, tne wuoieoi tnc cellar supports
being .u.dsnly cut oat by au immcuse
body of water wnich ru-hed in.
Ttfc alarm which prevailed was fright
ful in tho extreme, for at that early hour
but few were up in the house, and the
inmates, among wham were many fa mi
ies, woie sti.I abed, and came rushing
out in their ni&ht-dothe, and barefoot,
in the rm ani water. Po add to the
tejror: of the hour, other brick building
beg3U to crash, a large brick store-house
in the rear of tho Merchants' falling with
a tremendous noise. Then the interiors
of ail the stores ou the upper idc of First
-met. around. the corner, to Lfnnox &
El well's on the Plaza, fell one after an
other. The fire alarm bell now ran", aud
numerous citizens went to the rescue with
teams aud skiffi, and began taking peo
ple and gosds to pUccs"of safety.'
All that portiou of town bordering on
the slough which makes into the Yuba a-
bove A street was afloat bv davliht, and
as the water rapidly rose during the fore
noon, house after hou.-e was submersed
many of the smaller ones, going off with
the rapid tide which set toward the Yuba.
Nearly the whole town was submerged,
aud southward the ho!c plain toward
iliza was oao sheet of water, dotted with
trees, roofs ol houses, floating animal,
aud wrecks of property of every dercrip-
ton. I here was ten feet of water on the
turnpike. Westward one vast water lev
el stretched to Yuba City, where a kin-
ured inundation was racing, the entire
towu'site beinj under water. Northward
the plains were cut op into broad streams
of running water, which were swiftly eour-
vug toiard tne great eheet of water
tretching between Yuba and Feather
clivers. The water reached its highest
point at noon, and then begsn to fall.
The ioss of property is estimated at sev
eral hundred thousand dollar?. R E.

J, L. Eaton and other merchants, are
heavy losers, and the farmers of the sur
rouudmg country lost heavily by the
drowning of stock and destruction of pro

tance around Marysvilic, inflicting great

Flat, and the places in that region, disas
trous intelligence is received. At long
Bar, say The Marysville Appeal t a large
number of Chinamen were drowned, some
say as many as fifty, and at Sand Flat an
entire tettlement wa drowned, the poor
fellows climbing into the sycamore trees
and thence being swept off one by one by
the rising current.
At Ousley's Bar it is reported that
nearly 100 Chinamen wero drowned in a
narrow gorge, where the water rose sud
denly, leaving only one poor Moutgolian
to tell the tale. The destruction of brid
ges was great, all of the bridges on the
South Yuba being carried away, and ev
ery bridge on the main Yaba going out
except one at Simpson's. All along the
Honeut and Feather River tho flood was
extensive.
On the 12th the flood had completely
subsided at Marysville, and matters were
beginning to asume their wonted appear

- Salt for the Throat.
In theso days when diseases of the
throat aro so prevalent, and so many ca
ses fatal, the use of common salt is re
commended a3 an effectual remedy : "Wc
commenced by using itibree times a day
morning, noon, ana nignt. We dissol
ved a largo table-spoonful of pure tablo
salt in about half of a tumbler full of
cold water. With (his -we gargled the
throat most thoroughly before meal timo
The result has been, that during the cn-
tire winter wo wero not only treo from
the usual coughs and colds to which so
far as our memory extends, wo have al
ways been subject, but the dry, hiokinc
cough has entirely disappead. We at
tribute tho satisfactory result entirely to
the saltgargio. IxcC. lelcscope.
fiST" According to a statistical report
in the Philad. North American, the quan
tity of anthracite coal shipped from the
different coal regions of this State, from
the commencement of the coal business
(in 1820) to 1851, is 101, 132,179 tons. .
In 1820 tho whole amount sent to market
was 305 tons, in 16G0f the year in whiob
tho trade reaohed its highest figure, 8,-
450,053 tons were consumed, and in 1861,
the dcorease from the previous year was
495,847 tons. This decrease was no doubt
caused by the scarcity of hands, the coal
rogions having sent off whole regiments
to battle for tho Union. W o frequently
hoard coal operators stato that it wa? im
possible to prepare the coal as fast as ship
pers wanted it.

INVALIDS. READ AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES.
JULES IIAUEL, Esq., the vel known perfumer, of
Chestnut btrcet, I'liilarttlplnn, whose choice product
are found at almost every toilet, says :
" I am happy to say of your Cathartic Piiaj, that I
have founil them a better family medicine, for common
use, than any other within my knowledge. Jlany of my
friends have realized marked benefits from them, and co
incide with me in Uelievin? that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out diseases and curing the sick. They
are not only effectual, but safe and pleasant to bo taken
qualities which must n;nke them valued by the public,
when they are Known."
The venerable Chancellor WARDLAYV writes from Bal
timore, 15th April, 1854 :
"Dr. i.C. Ayeb Sir: I have taken your Pills with
treat benefit, for the listlessnoss, languor, Ioss of appetite,
and IJilious headache, which has of late years overtaken
me in the spring. A few do.es of your Pills cured me. I
have used your Cherry Pectoral many years in my family
for coughs and colds with unfailing success. You make
medicines which cure : and I feel it a pleasure to commend
you for the good you have done and are doing."
JOHN F. BEATTY, Esq., Sec. of the Pcnn. Railroad Co.,
says :
" Pa. R. R. Office,' Philadelphia, Dec. 13, 1853.
"Sir: I take pleasure in adding mv testimony to tho
efficacy of your medicines, having derived very material
ueneiit irom tne uso oi pom your reciorai anu uamaruc
Pills. I am never without them in my family, nor shall I
ever consent to be, while my means will procure them."
Tho widely renowned S. S. STEVENS, M. 1)., of Went-
worth, IV. II., writes :
" Having used your Cathartic Tills in my practice, I
certify from experience tliat they are an invaluable purga
tive, in cases oi uisuniereii iuncuonsui uie uver, causing
headache, indigestion, costiveness, and the great variety
of diseases that follow, they are a surer remedy than any
other. In all cases where a purgative remedy is required,
I confidently recommend th;se Pills to the public, as
superior to any other I have ever found. They are sure
in their operation, and perfectly safo qualities which
inako them an invaluable article for public use. I have
for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Couch incdicino in the world : and these Pills are in no
wise inferior to that admirable preparation for the treat
ment of diseases."

"Dn. J. C. Ateb Dear Sir: I have been afflicted from
mv birth with scrofula in its worst form, and now, after
twenty years' trial, and an untold of amount of suffering,
have been completely cured in a few weeks b' your Pills.
With what feelings of rejoicing I write can only be
imagined when you realize what I have suffered, and how
long.
" Never until now have I been free from this loathsome
disease in some shape. At times it attacked my eyes, and
made me almost blind, besides the unendurable pain : at
others it settled in the scalp of my head, and destroyed my
hair, and lias kept me partly bald all my days; sometimes
it cam h out in my face, and kept it for months a raw sore.
"About nine weeks ago I commenced taking your Ca
thartic Pills, and now am entirely free from the complaint.
My eyes are well, my ftkiais fair, and my hair has com
menced a healthy growth ; all of which makes me feel
already a new person.

information that shall do good to others, I am, with every
