nois arrived this afternoon from Aspinwall,
bringing the California mails to the 5;h inst
and 81 G5OO 900 in treasure

two millions in treasure.
The John l.. Stephens spoke on the pas
sage the Sierra Nevada on the twelfth and
the Sonora on the seventeenth, both bound
up
The principal consignees Of the Illinois are

The adviccs from San Francisco indicate
that the State authorities have apparently
determined to make no further resistance TO
the Nigilence Committee.
The startling event Of the week was the
stabbing Of s. r. Hopkins by David 5. Terry
Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court
Hopkins had proceeded to the Office Of DR.
Ashe, Navy Agent, for the purpose Of arrest
ing ;. II. Maloney, charged with attempting
TO convey munitions Of war to the city for use
Of the State Judge Terry being present. in-
terfered to protect Maouey, and, together
with others. formed an armed party to escort
Maloney to the Dupont street armory. Hop.
kins collected assistance and attacked the
other party in the streets. A struggle en-.
sued, in the course Of which Terry stabbed
Hopkins with bowie knife and he rel
senseless.
The news Of the melee was communicated
to the Executive committee, who were in ses-
sion, and general alarm succeeded for the
| rally OF the Committees troops. In fifteen
minutes regiment Of infantry, two compan-
les Of cavalry, and five companies Of artillery
were in motion
Meantime Mnoney and his friends had ta-
ken refuge in brick building well guarded
al fortified This building was invested on
all sides by the Committees troops, and the
inmates ordered to surrender. They oheyed
without hesitation, and Maloney and Terry
were taken and conveyed us prisoners 10 the
head quarters of the Committee.
AT the same time the armories Of the State
! troops were invested aud the troops forced to
! surrender to the Committee. One hundred
State troops were taken prisoners, but were
subsequently released on parole.
At the last dates Judge Terry was still in
the custody Of the Committee. Hopkins was
still alive.
On the same day Hopkins was stabbed,
two vessels, freghted with arms for the State
| authorities were seized in the Bay by armed
vessels, belonging TO the Committee. Sub
sequcnty l.. Durkee, commander of one of
these vessels. was arrested by the Federal
officers, and held in $4,000 on the charge OF
piracy.
The Committee disclaim all intention OF
! opposing the Federal authorities.
Tuesday following the siabbing OF Hopkins
the Committee arrested notorious gambler,
named Dan Aldrdge
Hopkins, nj last accounts, was considered
out of danger
Much Indignation is manifested at San
Francisco relative to the bill before Congress
to quieting land titles in California.

Mr.. BUCHANAN AND Mn. BENroN.-The
Washington Union having asserted that Mr..
Benton was opposed 10 Mr.. buchanan and
that his pretended support was designed to
injpre the prospects of the latter in Missouri,
the St. Louis Democrat, Benton's organ, re-
plies by publishing an article in which the
following statement is made:
In this connection we take occasion to say
what we should not have said otherwise that
We have received within the past two days,
from the very best and highest authority. the
assurance that Mr.. Buchanan was deeply
mortified and aggrieved by the course of the
Washington Union in this respect, and had
demonstrated against repetition of any
such articles in manner that would not fail
of its effect. lie also has sent his assurances
TO Colonel Benton OF his gratitude to him
for his exertions in his behalf in Missouri
and his regret at the hostility TO him mani.
tested by portion Of the Democratic party,
but in which he never participated. 1t will
be well therefore for Democrats who do not
contemplate going over to Fillmore at The
first convenient opportunity, not to be misle1
by the TRADES and abuse OF that journa
against Col. Benton.

's col FREMONT A CATHOLIC

This question il now being extensively
aritntcd hv the political friends and enemies
OF Colonel Fremont. aud appears almost as
difficult OF solution as the old question will
salt-petre explode" The friend, of. Colonel
Fremont assert most positively that he il
member OF the Episcopal Church. and has
always been connected with that Church.
They do not deny that he was married by The
Catholic Priest at Washington. but saw that
no other clergyman would marry him on ac.
count ofth, opposition Of Colonel Benton.

The match. Vh" enemies Of Col. Fremont. IN
the other haud. are publishing documents
charging him with being both Catholic and
Shareholder, as will he seen by the following:
Frsnoni Carholic and Shareholder.
The following is an extract from letter
written 10y gentleman residing in St Lonis,
TO fliend in Penn Yam. in answer to an in
quiry relative tn Col Fremont being a Cath.
olic and Stakeholder. Read the startling
facts, and ponder while you read. you that
have spark of Amcricunsm in your hearts ::
"You say you desire the real facts. from
one who is acquainted with Col. Fremont.
and can speak from actual knowledge. That
Col Fremont is a Catholic, no one'who knows
him will deny; whenever he is in this city.

the Catholic Church; he was bartisrd and

Catholic Clergyman and the Bishop (the
Right Rev. DR.. kendricE.) to my certain

married. as you know, sister OF Col. I. ii.
| Benton, who also makes it his home there
| since Mrs. Bentun's decease. Col. Fremouts s
sister, who is the wife of an officer in the army
is also a Catholic was educated at a Catho-
lie Convent. and SO far as my knowledge ex-
tends, all his family aud kinsmen are Catho-
lies.
Within the past year have had occasion
to transact, business with, and several of the
domes,ics have been from time to time pointed
out to me as tine Slaves Of Col Fremont, and
these are not all either. ms he owns many
! others. male and female hired out to various
| parts OF the city.
These are facts and no secret here and il
your very conscientious and strictly pious
! truth-seeking Christians are anxious to know
all about the matter" why don't they get
some Of their own partisans, lone in whom
! they. can put confidence, aud whose state
ments would be credited by the public and
make the inquiry in proper manner and il
the proper direction.
at is an easy matter to get well informed
on this subject. when the inquirer after truth

! gine that il is the truth that cuts. and it i,
