It has been raining steadily since Wednesday, and today the bills arround Nevada are enveloped in thick clouds, indicating an indefinate prolongation of the storm. The thermometer, to-day, has stood at about 45 deg, above zero, from which it is evident that the rain must extend nearly, if not quite, to the summit, and unless the weather gets colder we may expect another great rise of the mountain streams, The South Yuba commenced rising yesterday morning, and continued to rise slowly during the day. This morning, Deer creek was up to about the high water mark of former years, and has remained about stationary during the day. Corron AND Topacco,—Colonel Peyton, a North Carolina representative of the rebels, who found bis way to England ia the stea. mer Nashville, reports that there are = in store at the South, 400,000 bales of cotton of the old crop; 4,000,000 bales of the new crop, and $50,000,000 worth of tobacco. om eee ee on so } Froopep.—The Petaluma Argus learns that during the late storm, the water at) Newtown, in Sonoma county, attained a greater height than was ever known before, Warehouses, supposed to be above high water mark, were flooded, damaging large quantities of hay.

America or England, or France, science will Navat Expepitions.—The New Orleans Delta pablishes an elaborate account of former maritime expeditions, modera and ancient, with a view to exhibiting, the danger the South has to apprebend from such undertakings on the part of the North. It arrives at this conclusion : While the enemy has a powerful war navy and abundant maritime transportations, his boundary—his strategical base of operations— may be said to extend to the whole stretch of our seacoast. Dut ourboundaries, on the other hand, owing to our naval deficiency, are limited to the water line of our seaboard, and is there . ; agents. liable to be impinged upon and broken. While our strategical border on the water side is thus pushed so far away from any vulnerable point of the enemy’s territory, our strategical border . onthe land side is drawn upon a principle which seems scarcely less adapted to secure immunity to the enemy’s domain and expose our own to assault, military occupation and devastation. Inasmuch as we steadfastly abstain from an offensive policy on land, and are incapable of attacking the enemy by sea, he is, ina strategical view, thoroughly insularized from us; while we, in a strategical view, stand in the position of an inland territory towards him, exposed to his attacks on every 4 all the improved instrumentalities known to modern war. GruveraL Isunpation.—The San Francisco Herald says the towns of Alvarado, Ala. meda county, Alviso, Santa Clara county, San Leandro, awa, Pacheco, Contra Costa and Napa City, Napa county are, or were all under water. We learn from Amador county that not a bridge is left within its entire limits, and the same story comes to us from Contra Costa county. In Napa all the bridges have been carried away including the stone bridges lately erected there: and nearly the same sad news will eome from every portion of the State; Ione City, Voleano, Jackson and other moun. tain towns have suffered more than any who have not seen them can imagine. We are told that the losses in Sacramento in goods destroyed, fences torn up and houses carried away . are light compared with the losses sustained by many mountain towns. There the current is so furious that nothing can withstandit. This, as a cotemparary well says, has not been a flood but a deluge.—[Sac. Bee. ANotuHer PoLar Expepition.—Dr. Hayes, the Arctic explorer, proposes to try once more to reach the north pole. Ata dinner recently tendered him at Halifax, he said: It is my purpose to renew the attempt next year, if circumstances prove favorable; and Iam still of the opinion that, with steam power, a strong force of men and dogs, and a well organized system . of advanced depots, the North Pole can be . reached, That the region about the Pole should be explored, you will, I think,all agree. It has long enough remained a terra incognito. Speaking as one interested in the advancement [ may say I care not under what flag the enbe conducted, whether that of claim the honor of the advancement. papers catch the expressed views of prominent individuals on the duration of the war; but these opinions are not worth as much as they are taken for. If we were to esteem any one of them valuable it would be that of Robert J. Walker. He was secretary of the national treasury during our war with Mexico, and no man in the nation knows more than he does concerning public finances and the money resources of all parts of the country. He says that the war will substantially end with the . present campaign; that the money power of the confederate States will be entirely broken before the eud of another year though large loans may now be obtained. Granp Staut.—The break in the Front street levee, just below the foot of Rstrect, is a point of attraction for those who are fond of witnessing the grand. At that break, the waters of the Sacramento are pouring through with terrific force, tossing, rearing and plunging in their mad career, as they sweep off on the low lands which lie south of the city. The turn made there is about at right angles with the main course of the Sacramento, and it is only by the intervention of huge logs that the levee is prevented from being still further swept away, The noise of the warring waters can be heard atadistance of several blocks.—[{Sac, Bee. _ No Fun Angap.—The San Joaquin Republican says that all attempts at balls, festivals, and gatherings generally, in the country, and as to that matter in the city, have been abandoned for the present. In the country it is almost impossible to travel five miles without swimming for it. Itis hard upon the young eople and the hotel keepers but we do not see ow itcan be helped. The usual winter festivities have been nearly all omitted.

We are told that the losses in Sacramento in goods destroyed, fences torn up and houses carried away . are light compared with the losses sustained by many mountain towns. There the current is so furious that nothing can withstandit. This, as a cotemparary well says, has not been a flood but a deluge.—[Sac. Bee. ANotuHer PoLar Expepition.—Dr. Hayes, the Arctic explorer, proposes to try once more to reach the north pole. Ata dinner recently tendered him at Halifax, he said: It is my purpose to renew the attempt next year, if circumstances prove favorable; and Iam still of the opinion that, with steam power, a strong force of men and dogs, and a well organized system . of advanced depots, the North Pole can be . reached, That the region about the Pole should be explored, you will, I think,all agree. It has long enough remained a terra incognito. Speaking as one interested in the advancement [ may say I care not under what flag the enbe conducted, whether that of claim the honor of the advancement. papers catch the expressed views of prominent individuals on the duration of the war; but these opinions are not worth as much as they are taken for. If we were to esteem any one of them valuable it would be that of Robert J. Walker. He was secretary of the national treasury during our war with Mexico, and no man in the nation knows more than he does concerning public finances and the money resources of all parts of the country. He says that the war will substantially end with the . present campaign; that the money power of the confederate States will be entirely broken before the eud of another year though large loans may now be obtained. Granp Staut.—The break in the Front street levee, just below the foot of Rstrect, is a point of attraction for those who are fond of witnessing the grand. At that break, the waters of the Sacramento are pouring through with terrific force, tossing, rearing and plunging in their mad career, as they sweep off on the low lands which lie south of the city. The turn made there is about at right angles with the main course of the Sacramento, and it is only by the intervention of huge logs that the levee is prevented from being still further swept away, The noise of the warring waters can be heard atadistance of several blocks.—[{Sac, Bee. _ No Fun Angap.—The San Joaquin Republican says that all attempts at balls, festivals, and gatherings generally, in the country, and as to that matter in the city, have been abandoned for the present. In the country it is almost impossible to travel five miles without swimming for it. Itis hard upon the young eople and the hotel keepers but we do not see ow itcan be helped. The usual winter festivities have been nearly all omitted.
