The following particulars of the. tion of the Pacific Railroad, will be read with conflagration, and list of losses were furnished . interest : to the Marysville Zzpress, by Langton & Co: At 6 e’clock P. M. on New Year's day, a fire broke out in the St. Charles Hotel, on Main st., and iu one and « half hours Main st., as far up as the u Commercial st., as far as the Methodist Church, was a blackened pile of ruins. The Court House and dwellings on Flat were saved by great exertions; also,the upper portion of Main st. The new Congregational Church and the Fraternity Hall, both new and valuable public buildings, were among those destroyed. The church was really an ornament, and the loss comes particularly severe on that society. The Hall was large, and the joint property of the Odd Fellows and Masons, and erected at a cost ef near $13,000, The Sierra Citizen was pub. P° lished in the firat story of Fraternity Hall, and was wholly destroyed. The basement was occupied as an armory by the National and Sierra Guards Their arms and equipments were destroyed. The Sierra Democrat was published in Andrews’ Block, near the Jersey or Commercial street bridge, aud was alee a total loss, with the exception perbaps of a few cases of type. The Methodist Church was saved by tearing down twe ef the builaings nearest it, and by the almost superhuman efforts of those engaged; by which means, the valuable private buildings situated on the upper end of Commercial street were saved, The Catholic Church was on fire several times and was saved with difficulty, as also the dwelling houge,of S, A. Langton, which was within a few yardsof one hundred kegs of powder when it exploded. The powder was the ae of Eastman & Co, The explosion was ard distinctly fifteen miles. Although the air was almostfilled with timbers and fragments at one time, yet strange to say, no very serious accident occurred. A. 8. Haxter had his arm broken, and several others had lesser bruises from the same cause. A tender of aid was generously proffered by the citizens of Forest ity, which reached us whilet the fire was yet raging.

Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence r plaza, together with Bridge st. and . P effectually restrain such enterprises in future, Aconsiderable portion of the Message is devoted to a review of the affairs of Kansas. The President does not attempt to disguise the fact that the members of the late Constitutional Convention acted in bad faithin not submitting the whole Constitution to the people, for adoption or rejection, but as the only question upon which there is likely to be any important difference of opinion is left to be determined by a direct vote, he is evidently in favor ef the admission of Kansas under the Constitution recently formed. He recommends, however, that a law be passed, making it s condition in future, of the admission of « Territory into the Union as a State, that the Constitution eball first be submitted to a direct vote of the people, as was done in the case of Minnesota. The President declares himself in favor of the construction of arailroad to the Pacific, for military purposes. He speaks favorably of the teuthern route, but does not commit himself to either. As this isa subject of peculiar interest to Californians, we transfer to our columns his remarks upon thia subject. In regard to the rebellion in Utah, the President says that vigorous measures should be. Nn. y. adopted to put it down. Humanity requires that it should be suppressed in such a manner that it shall be the last. We should go there with such an imposing ferce as to convince these deluded people that resistance would be vain, aud thus spare the effusion of blood. In order to accomplish this it will be necessary to raise four additional regiments. The estimated receipts into the Treasury for the fisoal year ending June 30th, 1858, is $75,389, 934 08, and the estimated expenses, $74,863,058 41, leaving an estimated balance in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year of $426,875 37. Nearly four millions of dollars have been expended since the first of last July in the redemption of the public debt, and the balance of the debt unredeemed at this time is $25,165,15451. The President condemns in severe terms the habits of prodigality and extravagance which plication for a new trial. in this place, a subscription was taken up for the benefit of the sufferers, and between four and five hundred dollars collected. Judge Searls and I. Williamseu, Esq., started up with the money en Saturday night, and arrived in Downieville on Sunday. They got back to Nevada on Tuesday morning. and report that there is no fear of any immediate suffering by the citizens of that place for want of provisions. A considerable quantity of provisions had been storedin fire-proof cellars, and in ware-houses a little out of town, which were saved. The exertions of the charitable and humane, however, should not slacken. Downieville is located high up in the meuntains, and as the winter has now fairly set in, it will be difficult and expensive to get provisions to that point, to reQuartz Mii.s.—The Oriental quartz mill, located at the mouth of Deadwood creek, about three miles above Nevada, was completed and commenced crushing quartz on Saturday. This mill was erected for custom work, and a number of quartz miners have been engaged for the past few months in quarrying rock from the numerous leads in the vicinity, in anticipation of the completion of the mill. The mill of Messre, Lovey, Hughes & Tiffney, erected on the site of the old one, which was washed off by the flood last winter, is also completed, and commenced crushing quartz yesterday. InrorMaTiON WanTED.—Letters have been received by Mr. Crenshaw, Postmaster at this place, making inquiries for the following persons, who are, or have been living in Nevada or vicinity: Israel N. Woodworth, from Lebanan, Van Buren county, Iowa, Philip Ross, from Hanibal, Mo. Francis E. Riley, from St, Leuie, Mo. Warren Foster, from Webster, Monroe eounty David A. Grove, from Attica, Green county, Wisconsin. Alfred D. Mayhew, from Point Peninsular, Jefferson county, N. Y. Geo. W. Gliddon, from New Hampton, N. H. Hannibal Sypert. Mininc.—At Woolsey’s Flat, last week, the New York Co. realized from their week’s work, $1,600; the Oro Co. took out $1,345 ; the Blue Ravine Co, averago $1,000 a week, and the American Co. $800. At Moore’s Flat, the Paradise Co, took out 202 ounces in one week, and the Paradise Lost Co. are making on an average $2,000 per week. The above campanies have each from four to six hands at work on their claims. Many other companies in the neighborhood, and at Orleans Flat, are doing equally as well as those named above.

He had just completed a new residewce, a little out of town, and moved into it the morning previous to the fire, and thus escaped being burned out. SURRNDER OF THE Fitipusters,--The John L. Stephens, which arrived on Tuesday, the 30th ult., brought the intelligence that Gen. Walker and his party bad surrendered to Com. Paulding, of the U.S. frigate Wabash, at Punta Arenas, on the 8th of December. The Commodore landed three hundred and fifty men, and the summoned. The fifty men landed by Walker at Colorado, made their way to Fort Castille, which they found deserted, and seizing a steamer, started for Greytown, where they arrived just in time to be included in the surrender. The officera and men, with the exception of Walker, were sent to Norfolk on the Saratoga. Walker was brought to Aspinwall, on parele, by the Wabash, and was to sail for New York on the Northern Light. Earraquaxe at San Francisvo.—At twenty minutes to six o’clock, on the morning of Dec. 3lst, quite a severe earthquake was felt in the south-western portion of the city of San Franciseo. The vibrations, four in number, followed each other in quick succession, and caused tables to tip, and knocked glasses eff from shelves. Tur Lacisiatore.—We have not been able te obtain for publication any report of the proceedings of the Legislature, which met on Monday. The telegraph was not in working order yesterday, and the Sacramento stage, by which the proceedings of Monday were received, did not arrive until late. The two Houses were doubtless fully organized yesterday, and Gov. Johnson's Message will probably be up te-night. Gov. Weller’s Inaugural, which is looked for with much interest, may be expected to-morrow or next day. We received note last evening from one of our Assemblymen, stating that Whiteside of Yuba would pro. bably be elected Speaker; Scoby of Placer, Clerk; Moore of El Dorado, Sergeant-at-Arms, and A. F. Wagner of Nevada, Deorkeeper of the Serate. whole party surrendered immediately on being Long experience has Seoply convinced me that a strict construction of the powers —s to Congress is the only true, as well as t + 4 safe, theory of the Constitution. Whilst th rinciple shall guide my public conduct, I consider it clear that under the war-making power, Congress may appropriate money for the construction of a military read through the Territories of the United States, when this is absolutely necessary for the defense of any of the States against furcign invasion. The Constitution bas eonferred upon Congress power ‘‘to . Nevada Library Association. On Friday evening Jan. Ist, the Association met at the Court House pursuant to previous notice. On motion, D. Belden Esq., was called to the Chair, and Thomas P. Hawley appointed Secrery. at A. Sargent Esq., Chairman of the Committee heretofore appointed to draft a Constitution and code of By Laws for the government of the association, presented his report, which, on motion was received, and after some discussion, and a few amendments cing made thereto, the GEO.

Shee: Musi¢, Music Books, Instructdrs and all kinds of Musical Instruments, same was taken up and voted _ by sections,. & Circulating Isibr ie and unanimously adopted, as the Constitution and By Laws of the association. On motion of J, C. Birdseye, a committee cone . sisting of A. A. Sargent, S. W. Boring and A. Of Choice selections and an endless variety of 3 CHEAP PUBLICATIONS, Atlantic Papers, Magazines, and New Publications ceived by every Steamer, Te declare war,’ “to raise aud support armies,’ . W. Riley, were appointed by the chair to pre-. Steamer Papers for Malling, Postage Fre, “to provide and maintain a navy,” and tocall for the militia to “repel invasions.’ These high sovereign powers necessarily involve imrtant and responsible public duties, and among them there is none s0 sacred and so imrative as that of preserving our soil from the nvasion of aforeign enemy. The Constitution has, therefore, left nothing on thie point to construction, but expressly requires that “the United States shall protect each of them [the States) against invasion.” Now, if a military road over our own Territories be indispensably necessary to enable us to meet and repel the invader, it follows as a necessary consequence, not only that we possess the power, but it is our imperative duty to construct such a road. It would be an absurdity to invest a government with the unlimited power to make and conduct war, and at the same time deny to it the only means of reaching and defeating the enemy at the frontier. Without such a road itis quite evident we cannot “protect’’ California and our Pacific possessions against invasion. We cannot by any other means transport men and munitions of war from the Atlantic States in sufficient time suecessfully to defend these remote and distant portions of the Republic. Experience has proved that the routes across the Isthmus of Central America are at best but avery uncertain and unreliable mode of communication. But even if this were not the oase, they would at once be closed against usin the event of war with a naval power so much stronger than our ewn as to enable it to blookade the ports at either end of these routes. After all, therefore, we can cnly rely upon a military road through our own territories; and ever since the origin of the government Congress has been in the practice of appropriating meney from the public treasury for the construc tion of such roads, The difficulties and the expense of construct ing a military railroad to connect our Atlantic and Pacific States have been greatly exaggerated. The distance on the Arizonia route, near the 32d parallel of north letitude, between the western boundary of Texas on the Rio Grande, and the eastern boundary of California on the Colorado. from the best explorations now within our knowledge, does not exceed four hundred and seventy mlies, and the face of the country is, in the main favorable. For obvious reasons the government ougbt not to undertake the work itself by means of its own agents.— This onght to be committed to other agencies, which Congress might assist either by grants of land er money, or by both, upon such terms and conditions as they may deem most beneficial for the country. Provision might thus be mad not only for the safe, rapid, and economical transportion of troops and munitions of war, but also of the public mails. The commercial interests of the whole country, both East and West, would be greatly promoted by sucha road; and, above all, it would bea powerful additional bend of union, And although advantages of this kind, whether postal. commercial, or political, cannet confer constitutional power, yet they may furnish auxiliary arguments in favor of expediting a work which, in my judgment, is clearly embraced within the war making power, For these reasons I commend to the friendly consideration of Congress the subject of the Pacific railroad, without finally eommitting myself to any particular route. To the Nevada Baptist Church. Your building committee would respectfully make the following report: That in the discharge of their duties as such committee they have proceeded to the erection of the church edifice as fast as the limited means furnished them would admit—ever acting upon the principle, that it is better to proceed slow than to involve the chureh in debt. Therefore, although it is now more than one year since we commenced operations, we only have the frame enclosed and painted, and the floor laid. The cupola, doors, and windows are unfinished. We have lumber enough on hand to ceil the inside up to windows, aud finishthe eupela. And in view of the difficulty im raising funds, on acccunt of the tightness of the times. we hare thonght best to board up the door and windows. to protect the floor from damage by storm, until money can be obtained to proceed with th work. Our agent for soliciting subscriptions and colleeting funds, Elder O. B. Stone, has visited many of the mountain towns, and a few places in the valleys, for that purpose, and we find on a settlement of accounts with him that he has collected $1,112 95, and that he bas paid out on account of church $1,168 10, showing a difference of $55 15 advanced by him, which he donates to the church. Our present financial condition is as follows: Of the 150 days work pledged, about 125 has been done, and the balance will be rendered whenever required for the completion of the edifice. There isa balance due J. N. Turner on lumber bill of $26 32, and there is also an unpaid subscription of $25 00, which we expect can be had at any time. All of which is respectfully submitted. Nevada, Dec. 21st, 1857. Stvr_uMan Tuomas, Joseru RICHARDSON, J.S. Crosman, Building Committee. The foregoing report was accepted by the chureh, and a vote ef thanks tendered to their agent, Rev. O.

The following particulars of the. tion of the Pacific Railroad, will be read with conflagration, and list of losses were furnished . interest : to the Marysville Zzpress, by Langton & Co: At 6 e’clock P. M. on New Year's day, a fire broke out in the St. Charles Hotel, on Main st., and iu one and « half hours Main st., as far up as the u Commercial st., as far as the Methodist Church, was a blackened pile of ruins. The Court House and dwellings on Flat were saved by great exertions; also,the upper portion of Main st. The new Congregational Church and the Fraternity Hall, both new and valuable public buildings, were among those destroyed. The church was really an ornament, and the loss comes particularly severe on that society. The Hall was large, and the joint property of the Odd Fellows and Masons, and erected at a cost ef near $13,000, The Sierra Citizen was pub. P° lished in the firat story of Fraternity Hall, and was wholly destroyed. The basement was occupied as an armory by the National and Sierra Guards Their arms and equipments were destroyed. The Sierra Democrat was published in Andrews’ Block, near the Jersey or Commercial street bridge, aud was alee a total loss, with the exception perbaps of a few cases of type. The Methodist Church was saved by tearing down twe ef the builaings nearest it, and by the almost superhuman efforts of those engaged; by which means, the valuable private buildings situated on the upper end of Commercial street were saved, The Catholic Church was on fire several times and was saved with difficulty, as also the dwelling houge,of S, A. Langton, which was within a few yardsof one hundred kegs of powder when it exploded. The powder was the ae of Eastman & Co, The explosion was ard distinctly fifteen miles. Although the air was almostfilled with timbers and fragments at one time, yet strange to say, no very serious accident occurred. A. 8. Haxter had his arm broken, and several others had lesser bruises from the same cause. A tender of aid was generously proffered by the citizens of Forest ity, which reached us whilet the fire was yet raging.

Immediately on the receipt of the intelligence r plaza, together with Bridge st. and . P effectually restrain such enterprises in future, Aconsiderable portion of the Message is devoted to a review of the affairs of Kansas. The President does not attempt to disguise the fact that the members of the late Constitutional Convention acted in bad faithin not submitting the whole Constitution to the people, for adoption or rejection, but as the only question upon which there is likely to be any important difference of opinion is left to be determined by a direct vote, he is evidently in favor ef the admission of Kansas under the Constitution recently formed. He recommends, however, that a law be passed, making it s condition in future, of the admission of « Territory into the Union as a State, that the Constitution eball first be submitted to a direct vote of the people, as was done in the case of Minnesota. The President declares himself in favor of the construction of arailroad to the Pacific, for military purposes. He speaks favorably of the teuthern route, but does not commit himself to either. As this isa subject of peculiar interest to Californians, we transfer to our columns his remarks upon thia subject. In regard to the rebellion in Utah, the President says that vigorous measures should be. Nn. y. adopted to put it down. Humanity requires that it should be suppressed in such a manner that it shall be the last. We should go there with such an imposing ferce as to convince these deluded people that resistance would be vain, aud thus spare the effusion of blood. In order to accomplish this it will be necessary to raise four additional regiments. The estimated receipts into the Treasury for the fisoal year ending June 30th, 1858, is $75,389, 934 08, and the estimated expenses, $74,863,058 41, leaving an estimated balance in the Treasury at the close of the fiscal year of $426,875 37. Nearly four millions of dollars have been expended since the first of last July in the redemption of the public debt, and the balance of the debt unredeemed at this time is $25,165,15451. The President condemns in severe terms the habits of prodigality and extravagance which plication for a new trial. in this place, a subscription was taken up for the benefit of the sufferers, and between four and five hundred dollars collected. Judge Searls and I. Williamseu, Esq., started up with the money en Saturday night, and arrived in Downieville on Sunday. They got back to Nevada on Tuesday morning. and report that there is no fear of any immediate suffering by the citizens of that place for want of provisions. A considerable quantity of provisions had been storedin fire-proof cellars, and in ware-houses a little out of town, which were saved. The exertions of the charitable and humane, however, should not slacken. Downieville is located high up in the meuntains, and as the winter has now fairly set in, it will be difficult and expensive to get provisions to that point, to reQuartz Mii.s.—The Oriental quartz mill, located at the mouth of Deadwood creek, about three miles above Nevada, was completed and commenced crushing quartz on Saturday. This mill was erected for custom work, and a number of quartz miners have been engaged for the past few months in quarrying rock from the numerous leads in the vicinity, in anticipation of the completion of the mill. The mill of Messre, Lovey, Hughes & Tiffney, erected on the site of the old one, which was washed off by the flood last winter, is also completed, and commenced crushing quartz yesterday.

Stephens, which arrived on Tuesday, the 30th ult., brought the intelligence that Gen. Walker and his party bad surrendered to Com. Paulding, of the U.S. frigate Wabash, at Punta Arenas, on the 8th of December. The Commodore landed three hundred and fifty men, and the summoned. The fifty men landed by Walker at Colorado, made their way to Fort Castille, which they found deserted, and seizing a steamer, started for Greytown, where they arrived just in time to be included in the surrender. The officera and men, with the exception of Walker, were sent to Norfolk on the Saratoga. Walker was brought to Aspinwall, on parele, by the Wabash, and was to sail for New York on the Northern Light.

The two Houses were doubtless fully organized yesterday, and Gov. Johnson's Message will probably be up te-night. Gov. Weller’s Inaugural, which is looked for with much interest, may be expected to-morrow or next day. We received note last evening from one of our Assemblymen, stating that Whiteside of Yuba would pro. bably be elected Speaker; Scoby of Placer, Clerk; Moore of El Dorado, Sergeant-at-Arms, and A. F. Wagner of Nevada, Deorkeeper of the Serate. whole party surrendered immediately on being Long experience has Seoply convinced me that a strict construction of the powers —s to Congress is the only true, as well as t + 4 safe, theory of the Constitution. Whilst th rinciple shall guide my public conduct, I consider it clear that under the war-making power, Congress may appropriate money for the construction of a military read through the Territories of the United States, when this is absolutely necessary for the defense of any of the States against furcign invasion. The Constitution bas eonferred upon Congress power ‘‘to . Nevada Library Association. On Friday evening Jan. Ist, the Association met at the Court House pursuant to previous notice. On motion, D. Belden Esq., was called to the Chair, and Thomas P. Hawley appointed Secrery. at A. Sargent Esq., Chairman of the Committee heretofore appointed to draft a Constitution and code of By Laws for the government of the association, presented his report, which, on motion was received, and after some discussion, and a few amendments cing made thereto, the GEO.

Shee: Musi¢, Music Books, Instructdrs and all kinds of Musical Instruments, same was taken up and voted _ by sections,. & Circulating Isibr ie and unanimously adopted, as the Constitution and By Laws of the association. On motion of J, C. Birdseye, a committee cone . sisting of A. A. Sargent, S. W. Boring and A. Of Choice selections and an endless variety of 3 CHEAP PUBLICATIONS, Atlantic Papers, Magazines, and New Publications ceived by every Steamer, Te declare war,’ “to raise aud support armies,’ . W. Riley, were appointed by the chair to pre-. Steamer Papers for Malling, Postage Fre, “to provide and maintain a navy,” and tocall for the militia to “repel invasions.’ These high sovereign powers necessarily involve imrtant and responsible public duties, and among them there is none s0 sacred and so imrative as that of preserving our soil from the nvasion of aforeign enemy. The Constitution has, therefore, left nothing on thie point to construction, but expressly requires that “the United States shall protect each of them [the States) against invasion.” Now, if a military road over our own Territories be indispensably necessary to enable us to meet and repel the invader, it follows as a necessary consequence, not only that we possess the power, but it is our imperative duty to construct such a road. It would be an absurdity to invest a government with the unlimited power to make and conduct war, and at the same time deny to it the only means of reaching and defeating the enemy at the frontier. Without such a road itis quite evident we cannot “protect’’ California and our Pacific possessions against invasion. We cannot by any other means transport men and munitions of war from the Atlantic States in sufficient time suecessfully to defend these remote and distant portions of the Republic. Experience has proved that the routes across the Isthmus of Central America are at best but avery uncertain and unreliable mode of communication. But even if this were not the oase, they would at once be closed against usin the event of war with a naval power so much stronger than our ewn as to enable it to blookade the ports at either end of these routes. After all, therefore, we can cnly rely upon a military road through our own territories; and ever since the origin of the government Congress has been in the practice of appropriating meney from the public treasury for the construc tion of such roads, The difficulties and the expense of construct ing a military railroad to connect our Atlantic and Pacific States have been greatly exaggerated. The distance on the Arizonia route, near the 32d parallel of north letitude, between the western boundary of Texas on the Rio Grande, and the eastern boundary of California on the Colorado. from the best explorations now within our knowledge, does not exceed four hundred and seventy mlies, and the face of the country is, in the main favorable. For obvious reasons the government ougbt not to undertake the work itself by means of its own agents.— This onght to be committed to other agencies, which Congress might assist either by grants of land er money, or by both, upon such terms and conditions as they may deem most beneficial for the country. Provision might thus be mad not only for the safe, rapid, and economical transportion of troops and munitions of war, but also of the public mails. The commercial interests of the whole country, both East and West, would be greatly promoted by sucha road; and, above all, it would bea powerful additional bend of union, And although advantages of this kind, whether postal. commercial, or political, cannet confer constitutional power, yet they may furnish auxiliary arguments in favor of expediting a work which, in my judgment, is clearly embraced within the war making power, For these reasons I commend to the friendly consideration of Congress the subject of the Pacific railroad, without finally eommitting myself to any particular route. To the Nevada Baptist Church. Your building committee would respectfully make the following report: That in the discharge of their duties as such committee they have proceeded to the erection of the church edifice as fast as the limited means

furnished them would admit—ever acting upon the principle, that it is better to proceed slow than to involve the chureh in debt. Therefore, although it is now more than one year since we commenced operations, we only have the frame enclosed and painted, and the floor laid. The cupola, doors, and windows are unfinished. We have lumber enough on hand to ceil the inside up to windows, aud finishthe eupela. And in view of the difficulty im raising funds, on acccunt of the tightness of the times. we hare thonght best to board up the door and windows. to protect the floor from damage by storm, until money can be obtained to proceed with th work. Our agent for soliciting subscriptions and colleeting funds, Elder O. B. Stone, has visited many of the mountain towns, and a few places in the valleys, for that purpose, and we find on a settlement of accounts with him that he has collected $1,112 95, and that he bas paid out on account of church $1,168 10, showing a difference of $55 15 advanced by him, which he donates to the church. Our present financial condition is as follows: Of the 150 days work pledged, about 125 has been done, and the balance will be rendered whenever required for the completion of the edifice. There isa balance due J. N. Turner on lumber bill of $26 32, and there is also an unpaid subscription of $25 00, which we expect can be had at any time. All of which is respectfully submitted. Nevada, Dec. 21st, 1857. Stvr_uMan Tuomas, Joseru RICHARDSON, J.S. Crosman, Building Committee. The foregoing report was accepted by the chureh, and a vote ef thanks tendered to their agent, Rev. O.
