* 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

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

certain, there are millions of acres in tno

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. Glad to hear it.

reach a no less important place than Ephesus

the thing over, is refreshing to men of sentiment. Nota word about Diana. or any other
