The details Of the California news, which we pub
ksh this morning, will be found highly exciting and
interesting. We first give articles from the various
journals published in San Francisco showing the
state of feeling in reference to the action OF the
Vigilance Committee; then the executions OF Casey
and Cora The speech of Casey upon the scaffold, the
inquest upon their bodies, together with descrip-
ton of their funerals; following which is the arrest
of Yankee Sullivan by the Vigilance Committee, on
the 26th Of May, his suicide some items in his
eyentful life, and his confession; then we have the
proceedings Of meeting on the Plaza, got up by
citizens who oppose the proceedings OF the Vigilance
Committee, and the prociamat1sas of the Governor
and the military commander. We also give the
accounts Of umerous arrests made by the Vigilance
Committee, and among the prisoners we notice the
names Of Charles P. Duane, alias " Dutch Charley"
of this CITY, John Cooney, Bill Cumming William
Michigan Martin Gallagher, Bill Carr, James White,
Wooiey Kearney, All Cam, Chinaman, and man
named 6ulger. The committee were also on the
lookout for Ned MCGOWAN, but he had not been
arrested when the steamer sailed. AL these persons
win probably be sent away in some vessel bound to
q foreign country. The Illinois brings ss,27os6s
