LEwTsToN.-Mr. l.. b. Matlock, lately estab-
lished there, advertises his business lie intends
TO keep awel-selected assortment of everything
which miners and other people use, and 20 sell
at small profits. Lewiston will be place of
importance, shortly, if half we hear OF mineral
deposits thereabouls is true. We expect soon TO
hear that immense brick buildings are to be
erected, and that the people will call for a mis-
sonary, etc. We wish Matlock success in his
trading enterprise. Some people don't believe
it, but we have known Of more than one instance
where new comers who have arrived here, and
wished to go to some of the outside mining
camps, would choose the one where they saw bu-
fness advertised. Those kind Of men are gene
rally honest and can be trusted. a nO-account
fellow never reads the papers, consequently it Is
cheaper for the merchant TO invite, by advertise
ment, the former class.

MOLLY SP0KEN.--Below we printan extract from
letter written by eX-Prcsdent Pierce, and read
at the great Union meeting held in Boston on
the Sth of December
Shall the fundamental law of the land be obey
ed, not with evasve reluctance but IN good tidel-
ity? Have we the power to enforce obdience to
IT, and will we exercise that power? II so, then
may we continue to enjoy the multiplied and
multiplying blessings of the peerless Inheritance
which has been transmitted to us. If otherwise
tanaticism has not mistaken the significance OF
its emblem-the natiOHaL flag WM the " Union
doicn.' That has waved through three foreign
wars with the GntoH Up-chcoriHE the hearts of
brave men on sea and land, wherever its folds
have unrollcd in the smoke Of battle How many
OF our couutrymen, rs they have seen it floating
from the masthead in Il foreign port, or giving
its ample sweep to the breeze over a Consular
Office, have proudly and eXulfngy exclaimed
" am an American citizen, and there is the en-
sign which commands for me respect and socur-
ty wherever throughout the wide world | may
roam, or wherever | may choose temporarily to
dwell?' How one would shut his eyes and cover
his face in shame and sorrow if he believed he
were destined to see the day when that flag will
float no more. And yet il agtators aud cOnspira-
tors can have their way it must go down i'll dark

THE SEA SPEAKING TO THE MOrNTAIXs.-A.
JAG oby, Esq, merchant, of Union, and Capt
Snyder, left for home on Thursday morning, after
one days tarry. Capt. Snyder has just located
and surveyed a route for the proposed Road from
Union to this place. From him we gain the fol-
lowing information The road will run from
Union to Bates, thence by Angels ranch to the
Bald Hills of Mad river, thence following along
the ridge of the Bald Hills range to Hyampom
From that point it will run to the " Corral, )
thence to Fraukin's saw mill, on Trinity river.
On the portion of the route between Hyampom
and Union Mr. Snyder thinks that at least TWEEN
ty-Gve miles of the road can be built at an eX.
pense of not more than $3.50 per mile
Capt Snyder has accurately measured the
route, and finds the distance from Union to
Frankln's saw mill to be sXty-four miles. From
Weaverville to the latter point the distance is
about twenty miles, making the total length of
the road from here to Union, eighty miles.
The gentlemen above mentioned speak in the
most enthusiastic terms Of the prospect Of being
in road communication with Weavervile within
the present year, proUmed, that there is enough
enterprise in Trinity to complete the eight miles
Of road from Franklin's mill to North Fork within
the same time. The company is organized, and
sufficient stock subscribed to finish the road to
Trinity river. At North Fork 50 500 worth Of
stock was talcn and at Big Flat $4,000. The
first instalncnt will be due between the lst and
9Th OF March Success to the work.

LATEST FROM MExIoo.-The telegraph from
New Orleans brings Vera Cruz adyices to the
18th inst. Mramon bombarded the city on the
18th, doing but little damage. 1t was reported
that he had abandoned the siege and taken ref
uge on board the French fleet. Hostities had
been suspended and military Congress, COM
posed OF the chiefs of the two armies and the
representatives, of foreign governments, was in
session. The city of Mexico is reported to have
declared against Miramon and his army to have
deserted him. 1t is impossible to say what degree
of reliance can be placed upon these announce
ments. The Mexican news sent to New Orleans
does not generally conform to fact, but to the
prejudices of the channel through which it
comes.
