THE FLOUR MARKEF-Tbe San francisco
papers Of Saturday report considerable
firmness in the -four and wheat market, and
sales of -four are given at from 50 to 50 so
per barrel--showing slight decline from
the rates ruling during the early part of
the week. BY circulating exaggerated re
ports of the amount of wheat destroyed in
the late food, spectators may manage for
a while TO control the market, but If the
pleasant weather continues, so that farmers
can get their wheat to market, the bubble
wills burst. Interior traders are buying
very sparingly at the high rates, while the
daily receipts of wheat at the Bay are much
in excess of the demand.

RETALATION.-Th promptness Of Great
Britain, upon the Grst alarm of war, in for
bidding the export of arms and the constitu-
ents of gunpowder, presents an example
which 1t may be well for the United States
to initiate. 1t is stated that the purchases
Of ship timber for the British Admiralty
have been so heavy of late as to nearly
clean the market, and large quantities are
now stored awaiting transportation. 1t is
hinted that the Government will put an
embargOsupon the export Of this timber.

THE STORM IN SAN MATEo.-The San Jose
Mercury is informed that within three miles OF
Searsville, San Mateo county, no less than six
saw mills have been swept away. The house Of
Simon Knight, about two miles from that place,
was destroyed by slide from the mountain,
and one of his children killed. Knight heard
the coming avalanche, and with his wife caught
up two of his children and run for their lives.
The third child, boy five or six years Of age,
jumped from the chamber window and started
to run, when he was crushed and buried by the
earth. Every bridge between SantaClara and
Pescadero has been swept away.

THE STORM IN NORTHERN SrERRA.-The
Mountain Messenger Of January 18th says of
the storm at La Porte and its vicinity: l'The
past week has been dreary one in the noun
tains. Rain and snow alternately, with bois-
terous winds, have had undisputed reign through
out the week, except on Sunday. This is the
tenth week of almost uninterrupted storm.
How gladly we hailed that one fair day. Truly,
many hearts were delighted by pleasant, hap
py Sabbath. The mountain streams commenced
subsiding on Saturday of last week, and are
now nearly down to the average winter notch
Ditch owners seem TO be the principal sufferers
by the last flood in this vicinity. The Fletcher
river ditch was severely damaged; Sears Union
ditch sustained injuries to the amount of 81 900
or 81 900. BoswOrth's was considerably brok-
en-, just repaired, had larger portion carried
away than before. LaWence's bridge ON the
Port Wine trail, withstoOd the torrents. The
Rabbit Greek flume was filled with tailings,
and otherwise damaged, to what amount we are
not informed. Travelling has been so bad that
we have had but little communication with
neighboring towns above, and therefore can re-
port nothing which may have occurred there
this week. The snow is now about three feet
deep on an average and still coming, as we go
to press, Friday afternoon.

STEAMBOAT AOCTDENT.-0n Thursday last,
the steamer Gem, while endeavoring to
make trip from Sacramento to Patterson,
up the American, was carried through the
break in the levee at Rabel's tannery, float
cd some distance into the city, and finally
grounded in peach orchard. The steamer
was not injured; hut all attempts to get
II back into the river proved unavailng,
and when the water fails It will be left up
on dry land. II bad on board, at the time
of the accident, some forty passengers, who
we're taken Off as soon as the steamer
grounded.

DEFEAT OF zoI1ooFFER.-We give in our
issue of to day, brief dispatch received
this morning from PlacervilIe, announcing
the defeat of the rebel General Zolicofier.
The force under Zollcoffer occupied pcsi-
tiop in south eastern Kentucky, near Som
Crset, about seventy five miles from the
Cumberland Gap. The force was stationed
there to guard the Gap, which is considered
an important military position, and the
Federas have but to improve their victory
to possess 1t, The particulars, we believe,
were published in Mondays Union, which
will be up this evening.

WE have received complimentary tick
ct to attend the Burns Festival, which was
to have been given on the Gath inst, at
Forest Hill, Placer county. The ticket was
mailed on the 9th inst, but in consequence
of the Interruption of communication did
not reach us until che 27th. In the present
condition of The roads, we should hardly
have undertaken the trip, even had the tick
ct reached us in time, but we are none the
less thankful for the attentions of the Com
mittee of Arrangements.

The LATE Flour PANIC.-The Transcript,
in its issue Of Jan. 10Th, contained para
graph on the scarcity Of provisions in this
market, in which occurred the Following:
We understand that the Nevada mill has
wheat enough ON hand to run aboutthree weeks
longer. II the weather clears up in the course
of that time we do not anticipate rise on the
present price $3.50 IT, hundred as the propri-
etors have generously determined not to take
advantage Of present circumstances; but if an
other snow storm is to followThe present rain
storm and so on rain and snow al tGiaitana, then
indeed we shall see hard times.
We we're requested about the same time
TO give the mill owners a complimentary
notice, aud were told that they had deter
mined not to raise the price Of flour above
Sc 80 hundred. But we were not "stu.
pid" enough to believe it, We believed
that the mill owners, as other business men
are in the habit Of doing, would take ad-
vantage of the market, aud the result veri-
fed our anticipatioDs.

ARoHBIsHop HUGHEs.-T The arrival of

ARCHBISHOP HUGHEs.- The arrival of
Archbishop Hughes in London is announced.
He reached that city on the 2lst ult., and went
to Paris the next day. During his brief stay
in London as the Tablet informs us, he visited
several influential personages. The same jour-
nal adds that the purpose Of mis- visit to Europe
is not known. We learn, however, upon very
good authority, that the country to which Mr..
Seward has really given him a secret mission is
Spain. There, it is presumed, and apparently
not without reason, he will be able to exercise
a considerable influence over men in power,
which can hardly be the case in France or Eng
land.-[N. Y. Tribune, Dec. IL.

GEN. MCCLELLAE.--We give, on our first
page, an extract from document lately
published at the East, and addressed to
Congress, criticising McCIellan's ability as
a commander. Since Mcclellan was placed
in command of the army on the Potomac
he has been the recipient of enough flattery
to turn the head Of any ordinary man, and
whether this criticism upon his competency
is just or not, it can do him no harm. II
we can place any reliance at all 10 the state
ments of Washington correspondents, Gen.
Mcclellan has orgGaized fine army--so
much, at least, must be said 10 his faver--
but as yet be has done nothing 10 indicate
that be possesses the genius Of great com
mander. I'VE have confidence that Mcclellan
will prove a reliable aud safe General, such
as all countries have produced in trOublous
times; but The chances are that the war will
be ended before another Napoleon makes
bis appearance on the stage. We append
the annexed extract from the letter of the
Atlas st. Louis correspondent:
Although Gen. Mcclellan does not see fit to
publish his plans, as commander OF the U. ,;
army for conquering the rebel States, 1t is well
known he does not hesitate to impaTt them in
confidence to Senators and other prominent
members Of the General and State Governments
and it is equally certain that none Of the gem
tlemen who thus sought and received informa-
ttion sub rosa, join in the outcry about for
ward movement. Mr.: Ellet's pamphlet, alleg-
ing mismanagement in the army Of the Poto-
mac, is being quietly suppressed, even members
of Congress find it difficult to procure copy.

LEAvING.--A San Francisco letter says
that quite number of Sacramento mer-
chants have rented stores 10 San Francisco,
with the purpose of opening business in ;ba
city. Others have taken their goods to
Patterson and Folsom, in order, we pre-
sumo, to supply their mOnOtain customers
The most of them will undoubtedly return
TO Sacramento when the city is 10 con-
dition for transacting business.

SrocKroN.-of the condition Stockton, the

STocKToN.-Of the condition Stockton, the
Independent, of Wednesday, thus speaks:
ga general suspension of business crowds
of idle people, and water everywhere were the
features of yesterday. Extemporized canals
along the curbs, bridges in lieu of crosswalks,
and boats where bridges should be, were visi-
BILE on every hand. The rush of water through
the streets of the upper part of the city, and the
inward progress of the back water from the
west, looked blue indeed to those who had
hoped the worst was over some days since.
But our people, generally, manifested no dispo-
sition to tnd fault with the 'dispensations of
Providence though occasionally giving their
thoughts audibly touching water enough time
to let up, etc, and that, too, without the least
fear Of taking position which could not be
sustained"

il n constitutional disease, eorruptionh h
blood, by which this auid becomes vsiia.ed,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation,
peryades the wl,uie body, and may bust out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ Is nee
from Its attacks, Lnr there one which II may
not destroy. The serofulous taint is variously
caused by mereurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habit'. the depressing vices, and,
sbove ali, by tius y1icreal infection. What
ever be Its orign. it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending = from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
il seems to be the rod Of Him who says, "
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children ~
Its effects commence by deposition nom the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, aud internal organs is termed
tubercles; III the glands, swellings; and on
the surfacc eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrohlous COM
plants. but tlcy have fnr less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; ccnse-
oucnliy vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
arc still rendered fatal BY this taint in the
systcn. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in thi. scrofillous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all The organs arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter ofull our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
IL cleanse it from the system we must renovatC
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vgorafe it by healthy food and exercise.
