An Uniuylted Guest.

Mr.. Fletcher, says the Columbia
Clipper, who resides near Camp Lyons,
in the mountains, and is camped in a
small log house covered with canvas, had
visit one night last week from a grizzly
bear
He was aroused from his slumbers by
a noise, and on looking up from his bunk
he discovered huge bear making a
meal out of bis stock of food First, he
took piece of salt pork weighing about
ten pounds and bit it into pound pieces;
then he made descent on the sugar,
which he appeared to relish more than
he did the pork; he then ate all the
bread and butter-ups t the skillet
snuffed the contents of the pepper box
ran his nose into can of lard
knocked over the frying pan and licked
1t clean of all grease-put his foot in a
pail of water-and, after doing all the
damage he could, danced grizzly poll
ka, (tut he did not turn his partner. )and
left without even so much as thanking
mine host for his hospitality 1t is need
less to mention that Mr.. f. thinks of
emigrating.

REMOVAL Of BAcKUs.-R. NJ. Backus,
about whom some apprehension was felt
while he was lying in the Jail, has with
drawn his application to the supreme
Court for new trial, says the Alta Of
Tuesday May Goth, and was taken on
Sunday Evening to the State Prison, by
the Sheriff. He evidently considered it
dangerous to wait fer new trial, and
concluded that the States Prison was
preferable to San Francisco. The ont
side pressure of events suddenly con-
vlneed that Point San Quinten wa>
preferable as a residence to San Fran

Opinions of the Press.

The Vermont Free Press, (Whig,
saws:
To nominate Mr.. Fillmore was one
thing, to elect him is quite different
affair With his party in New York d.
vided by the disaff ction OF the George
Law men, he stands not the ghost OF a
chance of carrying his own State; and
we see small reason to believe that he
will carry three States in the Union, if
be does one
The New London Chronicle, tx. n. J
supports The State American nomina
tions, but repudiates Fillmore and Don
elson
The Hon Isaac E. Hester, a member
of the last Congress from the Lancaster
District of Pennsylvania, had formally
and publicly joined the Democratic par
ty He was the leader of the Silver
Greys, or National Wings of Lancaster,
who, though Triumphant over the anti
slavery wing of the Wings of that dis
trict in an open contest, proved no match
for them as they appeared in the new
American organization. The Whig par

that county, appears now to be hopeless

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania and
the Lancaster Intelligencer, both for

execution of Casey and Cora.

Cora. the murderer of Gen. Richard
son, and Casey, the assassin of James
King of VIM, have met the fate which
Justice should have meted out to their
crimes at the hands of the people
They were hung by the vigilance com
mittee on Thursday, between the hours
of one and two, from platform sus-
pended from the windows of the com
mittee room, 80 Sacramento Street.
Cora ut once threw white cap over his
head, and awaited his fate with stern
nerve. Casey spoke about ten minutes
at the end of which time he was perfect
ly exhausted and had to be supported by
those near him. He then drew white
cap over bis eyes, and at the word
s.strikc'' both were launched into eter-
nifty.
We have cleaned the above from the
telegraphic column of the California
Express. and with that paper, trust in
God that it may be the last time the
sun will set upon SO fearful a day. No
sane man doubts but what these mur-
derers deserved their fate, but there are
many who pray that the events of the
past few days, may not be productive of
evil in the future, that this scene of
popular violence and blood may be a
terror to evil-doers for all time to come,
and convince those in authority of the
necessity of administering stern and
inexorable justice unto all
But, Richardson and King are aveng-
ed Their base assassrs have expiated
their offences by the sacrifice Of theil
guilty lives. Although it was done by
the hands of self-constituted vigilance
committee. yet all must admit that the
uninterrupted course of justice would
have brought the murderers to the same
ignominious end. "All's well that ends
well" D."

We have previously received by the
Baltic the news of the signing of peace
at Paris, on the Goth of March. Int J.
lisence Of the fact was Immediately tel
'graphed to all paits of Europe, and was
everywhere received with extravagant
demonstrations Of joy. No terms of the
treaty have yet transpired, but they are
said to be soothing to the feelings Of
Russia; indeed, the Russian Plenipoten-
taries, and especially Count Orloff,
seem d to be the most petted at the
French Capital, so much so as to have
drawn from some of the correspondents
of the London Press language strongly
indicative Of jealous feelings.
Conditions are the same in substance
as those embraced in the Esterhazy ul-
timatum, and may be b.iefy stated as
follows:
Russia is to destroy all her fortifca-
tIons on the coast Of the Black Sea,
which is to become a commercial sea,
with Consuls in each port.
The Danubian incipaliiies are to b.
newly organic d, so as to firm in the
Landslide a barrier against Russian en-
croachmcnts. Russia renouuces all pre-
tensions to interfere in the internal af
fairs of Turkey, which latter is to enter
into the great family of Nations.
The Emperor Alexander declared SOL

JAMES W. STILLMAN, ESQ,
County Assessor, S f. County.
SIR:-Where a loan is made and a
mortgage is given to secure that loan, it
is your duty under the Revenue Law to
assess the mortgaged property (if real
cstate) to the mortigagor at its cash val
ue, irrespective of the fact that it is
mortgaged; AMI it is your duty to assess
the amount of money SO loaned against
the lender, without respect to the fact
that it is secured by mortgage on real
estate which is already assessed to m,rt :
gagor at its full value.
Where loan is made and mortgage
is given to secure it by passing the pos
session of any moveable property or Sc
eurities, you should assess the loan, and
then assess the value OF the personal
property, without regard TO the assess
ment of the loan, and both assessments
sDhould be made against the lender of the
money This is unquestionably the
meaning and intention of the Revenue
law of our State, and it is in consonance
with reason and justice ANY other
rule will discriminate in favor of the
usurer and money lender, and wealthy
capitalist, and against those who with
smaller means are following the ordinary
pursuits of life. l understand that It
has not heretofore been customary to tax
loans of money in San Francisco against
the lenders. | have seen the opinion of
one OF my predecessors, upon which it
IS said that this custom has been adop
ted. | do not think that the opinion is
susceptible of such construction, and if
it were otherwise, should regard it as
manifestly erroneous
Yon will please, therefore, make the
assessments in accordance with the a.
bove views.
Very respectfully, your ob'd't sv't,
