* river banks alone te protect the low lands of the State from overflow, is of questionable use so for. an is concerned. We believe alarge majority of the people, after reading the meny dissertations that have uppeared in the public prints concerning floods and the remedies against them, have come to the conclusion that simply levecing the river “banks is not all that is required in such sea. sone a6 this has been, and that serious doubts . on, ,hat pointare entertained by the minority. We advanced the idea some tithe. sinve that the immense floods to which we are eubjeet could not be discharged through a channe! of the width of the Sacramento river unless the levees were made of an almost im“possible hight and strength, even: if it were possible to collect the water by any process into such a channel. The same idea is con véyéd.in « series of able articles that are appearing in the Sacramento Union, from the pen of Thomas Rowlandson. ~~ “This gentleman folds that the Straits of Carquinez have not the capacity to discharge the waters that come down on extraordinary occasions from the Sacramento and Sat Joaquia Tivers, and that the superfludus waters are thes backed tip over thy valleys; where} ee . ." BY TELEGRAPH . TO THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT. From Sac. Union, March 34. CHiokad, March 2d, 8.30 P.M. BaLtmore, Feb. 28th.—At daybreak on _ sw ame LANDS, Again.—Itis-pretty-gen-. Monday morning the last of the advance guard consisting of the 28th Pennsylvania Regiment, crossed the Potomac by the Rope ferry and took poaseasién of Harper's Ferry. On the next day the provisions and traneporting troops arrived and the guard was considerably reinfurced. Bolivar and Charlestown are now occupied by our‘troops and London Hights are also occupied to prevent a flank movement The rebels retired—only about 20 more neighboring places, which our troops occupied. were. in a condition, bordering on starvation comparatively ; few inhabitants remaining in that town. All profess Union sentiments, and express great delight in be-~ ing relieved from the thraldom which has oppressed them for the last six mouths. “Many refugees are returning. The right wing of the army has considerably curtailed the rebel territory of Virginia, and made a foothold for itself which all the power of the rebellion cannot wrest from it. So far no opposition hes seen given to our advance. There has not been a hostile shot fired. The troups are in excellent condition and. well “protected from the inclemency of the weather. Gen. Banks has established his quarters on the ~ they remain until they eas be conveyed gradually to the oeean, ax the rains cease and the rivers subside within their banks. this theory be true or not rebe proven by morte extended ob~~apevations than any yet lad. It isa plausible one, te say the least. But_one fact is certain, there are millions of acres in tno ~ State subject to destructive overflow, and _ the project of deepening or widening the __.medying the evil is thougbt to be _ehimercial . by many. ‘There is a suggestion thrown out that the mountain streams be dammed to such an extent as to retain enough of the ‘waters in energencies to prevent destructive overflows. From our knowledge of the mountains we feel confident in saying reser_voira can not be constructed in the muuntains of sufficient capacity to hold three inches in depth of the water that is to-day lying on the low lands of the Sacramento valley, and would cost more money than i n the reach of the present generation. Some other and new mode of reclaiming these lands aust be devised , in our view of the matter, and we see no plan more rativnal than a thorough and extensive aystem of canals, which shall” at once furnish ¥ . Weservoire for tho water in times ‘of floods, and navigation, and ‘trrigation to the country. 4 “Were it not for the Yestructive nature of tho sediment of some of outrivers,net to improve with time, it might be supposed the better and cheaper mode of mnanaging against floods would be to raise mounds on which to erect the buildings of the occupants and deflow ad tibitum. Unfortunately mining ope‘pations in the mountains, not to cease tor many years to come, render this course unsafe to the soil of many parts of the valleys, and seem to call for a more expensive system Nor att Loss.—The Sacramento Bee "hiya there is a large part of the city of Sacramento that has been benefited rather than injured by the floods. In some places sed ment has been deposited to tho depth of ane, two, three and even four feet in depth, which is of the finest quality for growing trees &c, Besides eaving a great deal for grading, the lands have been improved by the deposit, and the owners regard themselves richer by the floods.

AN old friend in the iuterior of the State writes to assure us that his motto is: ~ ‘God first: my country next.” The noble words of our friend recall the eloquent expression Bishop Simpson has given to the same thought. “We will take,” is the language of the Bishop—our glorious fiag—the flag of our country—and nail it just below the cross.
