George E. Drew, County Surveyor, pre

and canal for the protection of Stockton, He .
proposes to form the eastern portion somewhat ip the form ofa triangle, one point
being nbout ove mile east of the center of
the east environ line of the city; another
point ata poiuton Mormon Slough about
three blocks east of the city line; and the .
third ata point on the northera’ environ .
line to correspond, He prupores also to
carry the north levee on the environ line .
down into the tules, about half a mile west
of the west line of the city, Tre canal, .
which is of course to be outside of the levee .
is figured ou the south side at the width of
150 feet at the bottom, and from three to
eight feet deep, as circumstances may de.
mand; the embankment 75 feet wide at the .
top. On the north side, the canal at 100)
feet at the bottom, and the embankment 60
feet at the top. It is calculated for the embankment to be 4feet above high water
mark of last winter. It is also proposed to
excavate Mormon Slough, and cut it to a}
wiath of 250 feet. The old Sonora. Mokelumre Hill, and Upper Sacramento roads
will all pages over the levee should it be built,
. It is estimated that the cost of the work .
would be about $110,000.

Rumors from Southern California and
Arizona,
The Los Angeles News of April 30th,
says:
Rumors bave been current in town during
the week to the effeet that a portion of Col,
Carleton’s advance guard bas been cut off
and captured by the rebels in Arizona.
Some accounts bave it that two companies
have been taken prisoners, Jt is further
stated that there is a force of 1,509 rebels at
Tucson, ready to dispute the passage of Col,
Carleton’s command, There may or may
not be any truth in these ramors, bot we
incline to the belief that force has been
concentrating in Arizona for a long time
past, and that it has been constantly augmenting by the arrival of reinforcements
from California. We believe that the only
motive whieh govern this band is plunder,
Could they suceeed in forcing their way into this section of the State, the sympathizer
with treason would suffer alike with the
Union man. No distinction is made by sueh
guerilla bands as the one now supposed to
be rendezvousing in Arizona. The exactions practiced by the Texan force in New
Mexico upon all, classes, is indicative of
what they would do here. Bat we apprehend that the danger of their presence bere
is far distant. Eveu suppose the rumor
trae, which we do not believe, of the cutting
off of the two companies, the main body of
the troops are not far distant, and, we feel
assured, will give a good account of themselves, should they meeta body of these
outlaws
We tearn thata gentleman arrived bere
. from Fort Yuma yesterday, who says there
was no truth in the rumor of the cutting off
of two companies of Colonel Carleton’s
command,
The same paper of May 2d remarks:
A ramor was rife in town on Wednesday,
that a detachment of troops, numbering 12
men, who bad been sent eastward from Fort
Yuma, had been surprised and fired upon
. by a party of 16, killing the captain com.
manding the troops, one soldier, and wounding chrve or four others, The firing upon
the soldiers was from an ambuscade; the
soldiers charged upon the attacking party,
capturing three Arizona rebels, The reThe above report was put in
circulation here on the statement of a man
who, it is said, arrived here direct from the
Colorado, Several citizens, we are informed
beard his statement We eet the above down
} asa probable rumor, which was current in
. that viciuily at the time the parties left.
True or untrae, as the case may be, it is
just what may be expected if soldiers are
found in Arizona iv small squads,
Lieut. Pierce, who some time since left
Camp Latbam with acommand of eight
men, arrived here on Wednesday about
noon, we searn, direct from the crossing of
the Colorado river at Fort Mojave. Lieut.
Pierce was absent some 25 days, and itis to
be boped made a thorough reconnoisance of
. the country in tbe vicinity of the gap, (Mohave Crossing) tbrough which the rebel
States have been so long receiving supplies
avd armed reinforcements from California,
. Lt is well known that operations avd com.
munications of a suspicious character bave
been carried on through this gap for a great
length of time. It is said the report of
Lieut, Pierce will set forth some startling
facts; facts which will open the eyes of all
