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.

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.
