Tkbokv oi'-riu-; Lath Flood...—The Napa Reporter hazards the lollowing theory : High as the
waters have been with US, there are indications
that they have been twice higher within the last
ivill now send In their chronicles of lhe years and
mouths of the highest Boods, some reasonable approach may be bad to correctness In the length ol
term of our weather circle... In the absence Of
such definite Information oo the subject, and taking
the greatest Hood mentioned by .1. G. Vallejo as
having occurred in 1827, as the standing point,
twelve years would seem to be about the distance
between the extreme hard winters. On the Europe-
coast an n theory has lound thvor that tbe weather
circles run from twenty to twenty-two yearB, the
Culminating points ol bad winters having been
marked with poor crops and scarcity of bread for
the last four hundred years. As un this coast we
have 00 warm gulf Stream to create constant change
ia our climate, doubtless the laws which govern ii
are more simple iu their action, and that meteorological ob.ei vat ions, will iu lime give ns lhe resell
ol .uch investigations as tiny admit of a theory iu
regard to tbem. whieh will give sufficient warning of such freshets and Hoods as we have lo chronicle tbe present winter. If the largest portion of
our agricultural lauds are to be more or less valuable iu proportion to the extent of this knowledge, lhe sooner It is acquired the better. There is
some reason to suppose lhe Indians foresaw this
flood, aud if snob was the ease, the simple knowledge they have, the white tnau can acquire. With
that knowledge and ibe use of the same means
employed In other countries subjected to the periodical overflow, thai portion ol cur State will yet
be valuable for agrienlUiral purposes.

A Sc. ne After Battle.
Mrs. Yelverton, whose case created such a sensation in England and Ireland about a year ago,
bas written a remarkably iuit restiog book, entitled
■ Martyrs to Circumstance.,■' which is having an
mmeOBe sale. It will be remembered that the
ady went to flic Crimen, during lhe war, in (lie
character ofa nun. Here is B powerfully descriptive scene which sh..' wilnesscd ou board a French
issel filled with wounded Russian soldiers :
The Austerlilz had not cast her anchor ere
Interna stood on her deck surrounded by the _o_
rois of a sanguinary struggle DO tho battle-field.
A thousand Russian prisoners were there writhing
n agony, cut and mangled as though some fury
had been glutting his rage upon them; human
whicii no mother could have recognized as
her own, with limbs hanging loose from the body
to which they could never more adhere; heaps or
moaning, quivering beings, covered with rags, saturated with blood and dirt, pell-mell together
they lay, the wounded, the dying and Urn dead !
The Austerlilz had met wilh heavy weather, the
ports had all been closed, aud thi^e had been no
opportunity of separating lhe bodies of the peacefully slumbering, gone to tbeir rest, from Lhe living
and those writhing with agony, l.iehveen decks
the air was putrid witb animal decomposition and
stench of iindried gore, with 'which the decks w.iy
W(,i. thi-- i -i-i-F. tnai-iignmrB io London
Iter a day'fl rain. There was a dull, heavy
indistinct Bound of suppressed groans and shrieks
sprang from tortured minds and bodies, such as
ight ouly meet the ear outside the gates ofPur-
galory. The miserable creatures had been thoroughly imbued with the idea that all prisoners
taken by the enemy were doomed to a death of
torture, aud they did not possess the endurance of
the French soldiers under their trials. Into this
of mortal agony came the delicate figure of
Thierua ; she spoke a word in Russian, and her
Sister-of-Mercy dress told the re-t. A wild ecstatic
cry burst forth, aud echoed through tlie ship ;*for
tbey knew she came not as the harbinger of death,
but of hope. All who could drag themselves,
made towards her. The dying man was startled
for a moment (rom his death-vision. He raised
his trembling eyelids j saw the White veil and
pitying eye ; and believed that,the great Ruler of
all had sent an angel to gather him to his la. .t
abode. Iu a few words which no Frenchman ou
board had beeu able to speak, their fears were al-
ayed. With light steps she trod the revolting
deck, and beginning with the nearest sufferers*
went dowu on her knees without a shudder. She
id laid bare the ghastly wound without a
shadow ol disgust passing over ber face. With her
scissors she proceeded to divest it of all that was
g and inflaming, applying churpie aud clean
with dexterously twined bandages. ;She was
followed by the captain, and a ragged tar who
led all the necessaries. The captain had never
ventured between decks before, but considered
himself bound as a gentleman to accompany her
whom his instinct told him was a lady. With sun
dry shrugs and bows to madame's admirable devotion, he put ou bis galoshes, declaring " ce
planche detestable,'' and did the honors of the
-hip. Arrived at the bottom of the companion
lna-i-uue's entrance to ere 'w'as i liupossioie." ttlie
passed him by unheeding. His gallantry compelled him Lo follow. "It was impossible," he
lid, " that she should kneel in so much filth."—
.MafoiP' he exclaimed, " dans toate ceite sa-
lettel" Everything in like manner was " impossible." Weak minds, or minds purposeless, would
bave bowed in due submission to so polenta word ;
but as Nelsoii in bis Victorious career had treated
the word " fear," so bad Thierua treated " impos-
sib'e" as unknown in the vocabulary ol those who
leave behind Ihem "footprints on thc sands ol
time." The captain waa really uncomfortable at
witnessing so much misery. He thrust bis hands
into bis pockets, and talked of "revouement ex
traardinaire;" but in bis heart lie did not feel it,
and aincerely wished she would give over or faint,
wheu he would have had her carried to his cabin,
and have displayed that exquisite politeness whicii
only a Frenchman can imtfgine. Failing in this,
he looked for a short time for some sign of womanly weakness; a tear would have made him happy,
but those soft eyes were too earnestly fixed on tbe
wounds or face of the sufferer to admit of being
dimmed by useless tears. So the captain placed
his small feet together, made himself rigid, raised
his hat a good half-yard from his head, bowed
from bis hips forward, and said, "Madame,je
nous sirfuel My sister iu lbe Holy Church, I leave
you to your angelic occupation ;" and took himself back to his owu cabin. Not so the old Bailor
who had volunteered to carry the store of comforts
and appliances of Thierua. He bad displayed a
great amount of sympathy aud assiduity in uncork
ing and corking bottles; measuring out wiue
brandy and beef tea, with as much precision as
though his owa life defended ou wbat he was
doing. One drop loo much, he scrupulously
poured back again, one drop too little be supplied,
patiently waiting, cap iff baud, ami presenting tin:
medicine half a dozen times before it was wanted :
ne Became tertite in inventions, uiscov-ercit utts o
wood for legrosts and bundles of anything for pillows. The hated Russian was a helpless Bufie.log
man, and Jack's heart was incited to soft compaH
sion. His devotion was as deep, his heroism a.
great, his pity as tender aa Thierna's; though it
found vent only in the uncorking ol bott.es. There
i lout communion and Oneness of feeling between those two, so dissimilar in appearance, as
Ihey knelt beside the sufferers giving hopes for
the future and ea.e for the present, which estab
lisbed a union as of a long-tried friendship, Had
tbey met ten years after on the Rocky . Imitr.a
or In a palace, she would have given and he would
have taken her stn all hand in his rough, hard palm,
iheir souls would again have mingled,   true  mau,

a dried-up pool of blood, Burrounding a enrk-d ap
grey Boat and knapsaobi a human hand project-
ing atone indicated wiial it might be ; " don't you
touch him," he repeated.   His manly heart would
lain have Spared her the icy chill which bad |ost

Antipalhy.—The walnut tree is hostile and
us to every other ftuit tree in its neighborhood, Enemies against one another are : the olive
and onk| the vine aud the laurel tree. Cucumbers
planted among olive trees, perish. An oak tree

OXious to every herb or flower in the same bottom. Hemlock beside a vine, dries up, Rose and

time of those plants. The wine becomes unquiet

Wi-HINGTOK, Feb. 7.—There is the highest authority for stating that there is no truth in the

Washington, Feb, 8lh.—Various rumors tothe
effect that Secretary Stanton is to assume the active management of lhe army, leaving M.CIellan

their camp equipage, clothing, and seventeen field
pieces, A large number of rebels havo been taken

In Washington, Feb. llih, it was reported that

By the steamer " America," arrived at Halifax,
we have European rumors to the effect that Napoleon has notified the Powers 'that they must
shortly join in a demand for raising the Federal
blockade of the Southern ports.
Tbe London Tunes says tbat England can afford
to wait.
Preparations are making at Fort Henry for an
Immediate advance of the Federal forces.
The number of rebels killed at the time of
taking the Fort is much larger than was at firs1
stated.
FOREIGN,—From France come vague rumors
that Napoleon will shortly demand joint act'iou
in raising tbe blockade of the Southern ports, and
lhat he would lake the initiative, if England refused. The London Times says tbat England
need not to hi eager to meddle between the North
and the South. Tbe London Globe says that mar-
a time powers cannot be expected to respect the
Federal blockade unless it ia really effective. The
commerce of the world cannot suffer itself to be
despoiled for au indefinite period, under a mere
paper blockade.    "As to intervention,''  says  tbe
Congressman Uly bus been presented a fine horse
by Menus ofCcd, Ceroorau and other Union prisoners tor his kindness nnd liberality to   I is fellow
prisoners.
The expulsion of Bright will   likely prove  only
the begloolnirofa war against all suspecteS Senators, Attention has already been directed towards Powell.
It is said that a resolution will shortly be introduced directing Ibe superintendent q_ tlie
document room to inform lbe Senate what public
diicuineiits Powell bus ordered sent to members of
the Southern Confederacy since the formation of
the provi.siunal  government.
Tbe President has approved the bill authorizing
the tjeeretury of the fnt.iior to strike fioin Iho
pension rolls the names ol persons who iii any way
have given ancoorngeaffintto the rebels.
The Louisville (Kv.1 Ih-muriat publishes Southern accounts of the battle at Somerset. The lowest estimate any ofthe rebel soldiers put their lo_g
at is one thousand, and some say fifteen hundred,
the majority of whotn were drowned crossing the
river.
Mr. Diven. of New York, has introduced a resolution in the House that the Attorney General be
requested to take proceedings to recover from Gen.
John C. Fremont tho sums of money obtained from
the public treasury upon his order, as set forth in
the report of the select commitlee appointed to inquire into contracts.
Brigadier-General Sumner is recovering quito
slowly from lhe injuries consequent upon bis recent fall, and it will he some weeks before he can
resume the active duties of his command. He ia
attended by Dr, M.Cormick, recently ou the General's stuff in San Francisco.
Brigadier-General Lander has so far recovered
from his wound sustained at Edwards' Ferry, the
day after Col. Baker's death, as lo be able to ride
out daily. He will probably be in the saddle
again In a few days, ready aud spoiling for a fight.
An important decision has just been made by
the Secretary of War nnd tbo Paymaster General.
The decision is, in effect, that a soldier is entitled
to his pay from the day he enlists, and that he is
not to wait till his company is ful or the formal
muster of the regiment into Government service.
The previous practice—that of considering pay
only due (rom the date of Ihe mustering in of the
full company—has deprived the soldiers ofa considerable amjunt of pay, and has retarded eulist-
but our great aim must be to preserve consistency
with our principles."
Commissioners Mason and Slidell bad arrived
at Southampton. Tbe former went to I-ondon, lbe
latter to Paris.
Earl RueBell says that fhe English Government
differs entirely from Secretary Seward's conclusions on the question whether the persons taken
from the Trent and their supposed dispatches
were contraband.
It was rumored that an engagement had taken
place between the Sumter and lbe hiquois. The
result is not reported.
Napoleon opened the French Chambers on the
25th. He Baid that the civil war which desolates
America, has greatly Compromised Prance's commercial Interests. So long, however, as tbe rights
of neutrals are respccied, lbe Government must
couliue itself to expressing wishes lor an early termination of those dissensions.
Mexico.—Af. Vera Cruz. Janniiry 17lh, there
were 10.000 of the Allies, sod S0_00fl !_e_!oaoS
were near Pueblo. Four days were given Juarez
to reply to the ultimatum of lhe Allies. Santa
Anna was expected at Havana en route for Mexico. Later dates, to January 25th, state that the
Allies had advanced to Espiritu Santo.
A Belgium paper has stated that G '0. Almonte
was negotiating to place the Archduke Maximilian, of Austria, on the Mexican throne.
President Lincoln and the Adniinislra tion arc
bound by every consideration of any weight with
rulers and with men—we will not add Cbrsiiian men
—instantly to lake sueb measures as   will spare our
trusting   responsible military command  to a man
like James Lane. A command under tbe lead of
such a man is no better than an armed and organized banditti, With of course, more terrors and
power Ior evil than attaches to any bund of robbers
and murderers, because its olllcers act under regular
commissions and cloak tbeir crimes with the man-
tie of authority. His marches are no better than
the raid of lawless bands, wbo spread themselvc-
over a defenceless country to pillage and barrens it.
These imputations do uot, we presume, justly rest
on every individual of his Command. Many of bis
command, probably most of them, simply obey too
atrocious orders they receive. But some of his
followers are doubtless equally depraved with their
leader. We think we do nol speak unadvisedly.—
The account of Lane's march lo Osceola—bis burning of stores belonging lo citizens in that town—bis
destruction of it by fire, and his summary putlog to
death seven ofthe inhabitants whom he seized, presents a case of wanton devastation aud atrocity which
admits of no valid excuse, At least, so it i* reported
to us. Tbe outrages and crimes againBt property
and life pcrpetraed bj him In that foray are a dishonor to the flag under whoso pretended authority
they were committed, aud will dishonor the Adoii-
nislralion, if ihey aro not inquired into and punished
in some way. Our Government does not mean to
waste UtasoaM witb fire and sword. Its object is to
prevent that waste and reduce il to the lowest possible amount. Justifying or conniving at tbo ravage and slaughter of which Lane has been guilty,
would be to consign Missouri to n doom as feaiful as
Hyder Ali inllicted on the Oaruatic.
If Lane must lipid a military position, he and
his command should be confined under it slricly to
the defenso of Kansas, and should not under any
pretext, be permitted to come iuto Missouri. Tbo
mutual murders and crimes perpetrated on each
other bv the opposed parties iu Kansas yew rs since,
