tPeirible Winter in California-Marysville
asid Sacramento Submerged.
The present winter is conceded to he
rfte most severe experienced in this coun
try si’nde it has been populated by Ame
ricans. During the last fortnight it has
been raining and snowing continually in
the fountains and valleys, and we are
darrfv in teceipt of accounts of suffering
and distress in all parts of the State. The
waters- ft'a've been unusually high, anti
communication through the mining re
gions almost entirely put off, eiihet by
snow or oveifl >wed streams. The r’vers
have been swelled to such an extent as
to inundate all the low lands, causing im
mense damage, destroying stock and agii
cullural products.
The whole country between Tehama
and S’aefanfiento City was. entirely under
water, whilst Marysville was partly inun
dated, and though Sacramento city was
well protected by a levee, the lower poi
fiohs tfCTg submerged. The waters at
the present time have subsided, although
she rains still continue On the moun
tain streams the loss of mining implements
has been great, and all work for.the pres
ent suspended. Bridges have been swept
efcaY,• and ferries destroyed, and some
lew lives lost. The southern portion ofi
the mining district has suffered equally i
with the northern. Stockton has been :
inundated partially, and property to a
considerable amount destroyed. The !
bridges oh the Calaveras, Stanislaus,
and other streams have been swept away,
and communications with the mining
towns for a while suspended. The flood
has hi en universal, and the waters higli
than irr the.memorable winter of 1549
The great scarcity of provisions, and
the consequent high prices, has occasion
ed mirt h suffering and distress already,
and it is feared that many will actually
♦lie from .starvation. Many miners sub
sist entirely upon beef and potatoes. In
portions of Yuba and Sierra county the
snow was already ten feet deep and still
falling, and the miners actually reduced
to absolute want.
In one place they held a meeting and
forced a trader to sell w tial fl. ur he hail
6n hand at forty-five cents per pound,
and ad who were able to leave did so,
thus leaving, the provisions for those who
•k er6 unable to fiud their way through
flm snows to the vallies. In some places
Cabins aie entirely covered w ith snow,
and the roofs of many have been crushed in,
thus cutting off the last chance iff protec
tion. The accounts received may be
greatly exaggerated—neveitheless, there
Id much suffering and distress, and it is
not improbable that some may perish hy
starvation.
The accounts we receive from the mi
ning districts are really heart rending;
death by cold and starvation has visited
many poor unfortunates, while as yet the
tale of horror is but half told. It was
feared that as intelligence should be re
ceived from the mountains, that we shall
have to record the sad fate of many moie.
From divers sections we learn of the
departure to the larger towns of the
more robust and hardy population, leav
ing the infirm and the females to eke out
a scanty subsistence from the slocks of
provisions left lo them.
Supplies throughout all portions of the
mines are extremely meagre, ar.tf the ne
cessitous high prices ot freight, added to
ihe first cast, have put by all articles of
subsistence, in many instances to the
famine rates. — San Francisco Paper.
The Union or the Democratic Par
ty.—For several weeks the leading Wing
journals in Georgia have been filled with
predictions of wars, and rumors of wars
among the Democrats. This favorite
theme has been echoed and reechoed
from one Whig to another, until 10.103’ of
them have been induced to believe, what
the} - at first only wished to be true.—
This vision of democratic feuds, has been
the only salve to their wounded feelings
since the election. All their hopes of
fu’.ure success in Georgia have been hung
on this slender and rusty hook. We dis
like to afflict the affl.cted, or to add the
weight of a feather to the burthen that is
already crushing the Whigs of Georgia
But they have deluded themselves long
enough. ‘They may as well know the
truth now as hereafter. The fact is, the
democracy of Georgia was never more
harmonious, more powerful, and more
confident of success than at present. —
This is certainly the fact in the mid lie
and southern parts of the State, and we
are also told it is the case in Cherokee.
We know there are a few disappointed
office seekers, who will grumble and find
fault and try to do mischief if they can;
this has always been the case, but these
grumblers can do no harm to the deinoc
,rs.
#acy, and we are perfectly willing the
Whig* should have them if they want
them. In our last number we published
the proceedings of a Democratic meeting
jn Floyd, ‘the spirit evinced in that
meeting is, worthy of all praise; it is the
spirit of liberality, equality and justice;
jn other words, it is the true spirit of
Democracy; and we are told it is the
Spirit of all Cherokee. If this is true,
the Democracy of Georgia it as harmo
nious as ever, aud is stronger than ever
by the addiiiou of many honest and -tal
ented pien that formerly acted with the
\\ bigs. Federul Union.

hope, James M. Bledsoe and Ins daughter Mary

that my wife told it. All that we have to say a

CHERRY PECTORAL^
For the rapid Cure of
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS,WHOOPING-COUGH,
CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
MANY years of tria', instead of impairing
the public confidence in this mcdicim, has
won for it an appreciation and notoriety by far ex
ceeding the most sanguine expect at ions of its friends
Nothing lud its intrinsic Virtues and the unmistak
able benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers,
coiiTd oTigiPfi’te arid “maintain’ the reputation if en
joys. While many inferior remedies thrust upon
■he community, have failed and been discarded,
this lias gained .friends, by every trial, conferred
bent fijs on the afflicted they can never foiget, and
produced cures too numerous and too remarkable
to be forgotton. ’
While it is a fraud on the public to pretend that
Anyone medicine . will infallibly cure—still there
is abundant proof that the Cherry Pectoral docs
not only as a general thing, but almost invariably
cure the m dailies for which it is employed.
As lime makes these facts wider and belter
Known, this medicine has gradually become the
best, reliance of tlie afflicted, front the log-cahin of
tlie American Peasant, to the palates of European
Kings Throughout this entire country, in every
S ate, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it con
tains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best remedy
extant for diseases of the Throat and Lungs,|rnd in
many foreign countries, it is coming to be extensive
ly used by their most intelligent Physicians. In
Great Britain, France and Germany, where the
medical sciences have reached th-ir highest perfec
tion, Cherry Pectoral is introduced, and in constant
use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms-Houses, Public
Institutions, and in domestic practice,as ihe surest
remedy then attending Physicians can employ lor
the more dangerous affections of the Lungs. Al
so in milder cases, and for children it is safe, pleas
ant and effectual to cure. In fact, some of the
most flittering testimonials ivc receive have been
from parents who have found it efficacious in cases
particularly incidental to childhood.
The Cherry Pecloud is manufactured bv a prac
tical Chemist, and every ounce of it under his own
eye, w.th invariable accuracy and care. It is seal- j
ed and protected by law from counterfeits, consc- j
qucntly can be relied on as genuine witlmot adul
i oration.
We have endeavored here lofirnish the commujj
nitywith a medicine of such intrinsic superiority
and worth as should commend itsell to their confi
dence—a remedy at once safe, speedy and effectual,
which this has by repeated and countless Inals
proved its.'ll to be; and trust by great ca-c in pre
paring it with clicnjical accuracy, of uniform
strength to afford Physicians anew agent on which
they can rcty for the best results, and the afflicted
with-a remedy that will do for them all that medi
cine. jean do. Prepared and Sold by James C.
