riss Of lS4e. They have become formidable, dam
gerous, and criminally mschisvous. Murders and
robberiss were multiplying; San Francisco was in
the power Of incendiaries, and her citizens and
their property at the mercy Of thieves and assas'
sins. The existing Laws we're inefficient; they we're
so slow, and the means of confinement Of offenders
so insecure that the chances in Iavor oftheir
escape Such was the state Of things which led to
the Vigilance Committee, and its summary execu-
ton of the judgments under the new code. 1t ap-
pears that this Vigilance Committee act as such
without pay emolument; but simply to maintain
the supremacy of the rights of life and property
There may be, then, no help for the existing state
of things in California. 1t may be that the mpera-
tive necessities of selfpreservation have driven the
people to these extremties. We trust that law and
order may soon be re-established, and assigned to
some effective guardianship under the regularly
constituted tribunals of the country. We have no
doubt, whatever, that the active, honest business
community Of California are labering to this end,
nor have we any doubt of their final success in at
tanning it,
The general intelligence from California, aside
from the last murders, robberes and executions, is
rather heavy. Business in San Francisco was ge-
nerally dali, although the miners and mechanical
classes were getting on prosperously. We refer
our readers to the copous details of correspon
dence, and the extracts from the California papers,
which We publish to-day They will be found to be
very interesting

The Nicaragua Route-successful Enter
prfss-The Contract-No Revocation.

The arrival of the steamship Prometheus at this
port yester is equivalent to the introduction Of
another epoch in the history of inter oceanic
communications with California, and the Pacific
Islands, and the eastern hemisphere. The trip rom
San Francisco, via the newly opened isthmus route
Of the Lake Nicaragua and the San Juan river and
thence to New York, by the Vanderbilt line of
steamers, Just accomplished, establishes, at once,
the prscticabiy and the advantages of this route.
The facts stated by our correspondents on the
subject, whose letters publish this morning, pre-
sent very clear and interesting statement Of an
|tua, experiment; frem which, We think it may be
safely assumed that the trip between New York
and San Francisco, by the Nicaragua cute, will
yet be accomplished in twentytw or three days.
The shortest trip, we believe, ever made by the
Panama route, was thirty one days The trip by
Nicaragua has actually been accomplished in
twenty nine and several days, yet, may be saved
In perfecting the transit of the isthmus.
This is good news. 1t looks like the dawning Of
kgreat practical results, in the crossing of the
sthmus, not only of Nicaragua, but Of Panama, and
The Atrato, ard even the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec
he New Orleans route to California. An impulse
, practical impulse to one, must give a practical
nome ntum to ALL and there is business for all, and
rcward for all, by railroads canals the worlds
commerce wants them all. All that we object to
e, any sort Of scheming by which those enterprises
may be turned into South Sea bubbles, Yazoo, and
such ike stock jobbiBg speeuations. But practical
results in great schemes like these, ways salts
actory.
We are also authorized to state that the reports
lately circulated Of the revocation of the contract
With Messrs Vanderbilt & Co., are untrue-that
be contract stands untouched and that the parties
euain in possession of all their privileges, as on the
hay the contract was made.
We have had successful experiment. We
ave no doubt il will be followed up by still greater
chievements good beginningis halfthe battle.
