Tux FLoop in Et Dorapa.—The whole . of El Doraeo county has suffered more or less from the recent flood. Every bridge in the county, with the exception of that over Weaver creek, between Diamond Springs and Placerville, have been carried away At Placerville, the Hangtown creek rose to such a hight as to wash away seveial dwellings, stables and outhouses, wagons, cord-wood, lumber, ete.,; in fact, swept evrything away within its reach, At Mad Springs there were three feet of. water in the town, flooding the houses, but} doing no particular damage. The Chinese portion of Coloma was washed clear, and several lives were lost. The truction of their goods. The roads between Carson Valley and Placerville being impassable, the Overland Mail Company send their mail, express and treasure out on pack-mules, and dispatch a saddle train for the accommodation of pasThey have gota large force of workmen to repair the roads with all expedition, with the view of reopening vebicular traflic, A heavy Jand slide occurred thirty-five miles above Placerville, on Friday,,the 10th inst. A letter from a gentleman near the vicinity, states as follows; “A heavy Jand slide came off the mountains, about threequarters of a mile from Webster’s, this morning, and for some time it was feared thet it would make a clean sweep, but it went through a cafion. To give you an idea of its magnitude, I have only to state, that it . took rocks, measuring fifteen to twenty fect through, extended over one hundred yards in width, ang was about twenty-five It made a noise very similar to an earthquake, and shook the houses so we could scarcely stand. Dratu FROM Frigut.—During lanch hour ina schoolroom in Montreal, some little girls were conversing upon ghosts. One of the young disputants, a fine girl thirteen years of age, said, warmly and loudly, that before a ghost should catch her, she would throw herself out of the window, on the sill of which she was sitting. The preceptress, who was in the room at the time, tapped her desk as a warning to make less noise, when thie unfortunate young Jady, startled by the noise,or her nervous system terribly worked upon, fell or threw herself out of the window. She was picked up, and medical aid at once procured, but notwithstanding every attention she died in a few hours Gen. P. St. Groce Coox,—An exchange says that this Federal officer, who committed suicide shortly after being promoted to a Brigadier General’s position in the army . of the lower Potomac, was one of the old-. est officers in the regular army of the United States, He commanded the Mormon battalion which entered this State in 1847, to fight the Mexicans, and made a highly . popular and efficient officer. He was the . successor to General Jobnson in the com. mand of our forces stationed at Salt Lake to keep the Mormons loyal and law-abid. ing, and bad just returned from that post last fall, Contra Costa.—San Roman Valley was . flooded, the town of Alamo inundated, hou: . ses, barns and fences carried off, several . lives lost, and some stock destoyed. Far. mers will not be able to put in their crops} till March or April. Few had plowed any . and those that had find all the loose earth swept off, or so settled down that it will} have to be plowed over again, Besides, . the fenses are so destroyed that much of . the time that should be used in plowing, . will be used in repairs. Tue Wrecked Scuooner.—The U. 5. revenue cutter, Shabriek, Captain William C, Pease, arrived Jast night at 11.30, three . hours from Half Moon, with the crew and lady passengers of the wrecked schooner Elfin A. Kniper. The vessel was found to be a total Joss. About 8,000 pounds of su. gar, all that was saved from the wreck. No . miles of this place, and no bark had been . Jost ten miles to the southward, as reported. . —[Alta, Jan. 15th. . Deatu or Squrrrets.—The present flood . has had the effect of drowning myriads of . these pests. and compelling those escaping . the flood to roost higher. Nearly every tree . and bush in localities where squirrels and . . strong language. a tines nsession nen NUMBER 565, Telegraphic News from the East, The Uniou, of Thursday last, has the subjoined dispatches from the Hast: Cuicaao, Jan 8th.—An official report has been received at Washington from General Sherman, concerning General Stevens’ operations at Port Royal Ferry, The latter’s instructions were to make a dash on the en. emy, destroy the batteries, because they ob. structed the river and had fired on the Mayflower, and then return to the island; all of which Stevens carried out, Several more fires have recently occurred at Charleston. Fires have also broken out at Norfolk and Richmond, supposed to have been oceasioned by insurrectionists. Hemphill, formerly United States Senator from Texas, is dead. At a Cabinet meeting on Monday night, . . . . j ¥ i " » . Chinese suffered considerable loss from des. the Joint Committee on the conduct of th war was present and urged the necessity of a forward movement. Wade and others used Bates is very warlike. Montgomery Blair is not very enthusiastic. Parson Brownlow, who was released from prison recently at Knoxville, Tennessee, on a nolle prosequi, has again been arrested. The railroads through Missouri have been repaired, and the California mails will be more regular hereafter, A large party is being built up in the Northern States, which will demand an immediate advance of our army, and more cffective steps to crush out the rebellion, The President entertains the same sentiments, and his recent appointment of Gen, Lane to lead an army of 30,000 into the enemy’s country, is only an indication of what he intends to do, Cuicaco, Jan. 9th.—A special dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat from Cairo, says that 25,000 troops are on their way there from different points. As soon as they arrive acolumn of 60,000 or 75,000 men will march on Paducah under General Grant, The destination of the force is said to be Nashville, where, if ajunetion can be formed with the bulk of the command, the entire army will proceed to New Orleans, Gen. Fremont’s investigation has been commenced at Washington. His friends express strong hopes that he will clear himself of all charges. Treasury notes in Washington are at four per cent. discount, Exchange on New York is une-half per cent. Congressional, Cuicaco, Jan, 9th,.—Hale presented a petition in the Senate to-day, from citizens of Pennsylvania, asking that a statute be enacted, punishing those defrauding the Government. Hale also introduced a bill for punishiog frauds on the Treasury, January 10th.—The feature of Congress yesterday was the speech of Senator Sam. ner sustaining the Administration in the surrender of Mason and Slidell, and showing clearly that it was in pursuance of the policy maintained by the Government from its inception to the present time, All the forcign legation were present exoept Lord Lyons. Rain iN Canrrornia.—The Grass Valley National, of the 11th inst., after giving some rain etrtistics of other countries, has the following suggestions as to what may be expected in California: By reference to the statistics given above it will be seen that there are localities, almost precisely similar in situation to that of Central California, the metsrological phenomena of which have been observed for such a number of years asin all probability, to give a pretty correct record of extremes of rain, It will be noticed that these localities in their seasons of extreme rains have witnessed falls of water, in amount, absolutely terrible to think of. Until within comparatively a few years no rain records have been kept in California, The few years that they have been kept exbibits an annual average of only about five fect; but there is no reason, judging from analogy, why we may not look for double or treble that amount of rain in unusual seasons, an amount which would be required in the mountains to produce the result in the vallies claimed by old Californians and the native Indians, But one-third of the present geason has thus far yassed, and yet our record shows that we have reacbed fully to our annual average of rain—five feet! Is there any reason to believe that we hav not yet ten feet more in store for,us? Cer tainly not. Neither is there any reason to disbelieve we may not, under favorable circumstances, at some future time, experience a fa\l of five fect in half or even one quar ter of the time in which that amount has fallen, the present year. These are matters, . gophers are numerous contains one or more . which it may be profitable to think of, and . oftaese animals. A gentleman from the . may it not be well to guard against such AT. MULCAHY WOULD INFORM . Calaveras informs ns that he bad killed no . possibilities? the citizens of Nevada and vicinity that he has opened a FIRST CLASS MEAT MARKET, and will keep constantly on hand the very best quality ; of Beeef, Pork, Mutton, ete., and he hopes by liberal and fair dealing to receive a good share of the pat. ronage of this community.

The bay is literally oovered with floating timber. The creek at Soquel has now a depth of twelve feet af water.—[Alta. Senator Laruam’s bill relative to the mineral lands exempts all miners upon tlic public lands from prosecutionfor trespass at suit of the General Government. This virtually gives miners title, by possession, to their claims, under the local mining laws; andjupon this title, of course, they can readily borrow money. The bill applies equally to all the States and Territories.

To give you an idea of its magnitude, I have only to state, that it . took rocks, measuring fifteen to twenty fect through, extended over one hundred yards in width, ang was about twenty-five It made a noise very similar to an earthquake, and shook the houses so we could scarcely stand. Dratu FROM Frigut.—During lanch hour ina schoolroom in Montreal, some little girls were conversing upon ghosts. One of the young disputants, a fine girl thirteen years of age, said, warmly and loudly, that before a ghost should catch her, she would throw herself out of the window, on the sill of which she was sitting. The preceptress, who was in the room at the time, tapped her desk as a warning to make less noise, when thie unfortunate young Jady, startled by the noise,or her nervous system terribly worked upon, fell or threw herself out of the window. She was picked up, and medical aid at once procured, but notwithstanding every attention she died in a few hours Gen. P.

Montgomery Blair is not very enthusiastic. Parson Brownlow, who was released from prison recently at Knoxville, Tennessee, on a nolle prosequi, has again been arrested. The railroads through Missouri have been repaired, and the California mails will be more regular hereafter, A large party is being built up in the Northern States, which will demand an immediate advance of our army, and more cffective steps to crush out the rebellion, The President entertains the same sentiments, and his recent appointment of Gen, Lane to lead an army of 30,000 into the enemy’s country, is only an indication of what he intends to do, Cuicaco, Jan. 9th.—A special dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat from Cairo, says that 25,000 troops are on their way there from different points. As soon as they arrive acolumn of 60,000 or 75,000 men will march on Paducah under General Grant, The destination of the force is said to be Nashville, where, if ajunetion can be formed with the bulk of the command, the entire army will proceed to New Orleans, Gen.

Rain iN Canrrornia.—The Grass Valley National, of the 11th inst., after giving some rain etrtistics of other countries, has the following suggestions as to what may be expected in California: By reference to the statistics given above it will be seen that there are localities, almost precisely similar in situation to that of Central California, the metsrological phenomena of which have been observed for such a number of years asin all probability, to give a pretty correct record of extremes of rain, It will be noticed that these localities in their seasons of extreme rains have witnessed falls of water, in amount, absolutely terrible to think of. Until within comparatively a few years no rain records have been kept in California, The few years that they have been kept exbibits an annual average of only about five fect; but there is no reason, judging from analogy, why we may not look for double or treble that amount of rain in unusual seasons, an amount which would be required in the mountains to produce the result in the vallies claimed by old Californians and the native Indians, But one-third of the present geason has thus far yassed, and yet our record shows that we have reacbed fully to our annual average of rain—five feet! Is there any reason to believe that we hav not yet ten feet more in store for,us? Cer tainly not. Neither is there any reason to disbelieve we may not, under favorable circumstances, at some future time, experience a fa\l of five fect in half or even one quar ter of the time in which that amount has fallen, the present year. These are matters, . gophers are numerous contains one or more . which it may be profitable to think of, and . oftaese animals. A gentleman from the . may it not be well to guard against such AT. MULCAHY WOULD INFORM . Calaveras informs ns that he bad killed no . possibilities? the citizens of Nevada and vicinity that he has opened a FIRST CLASS MEAT MARKET, and will keep constantly on hand the very best quality ; of Beeef, Pork, Mutton, ete., and he hopes by liberal and fair dealing to receive a good share of the pat. ronage of this community.

Senator Laruam’s bill relative to the mineral lands exempts all miners upon tlic public lands from prosecutionfor trespass at suit of the General Government.
