morning as full an abstract of the exciting news from
California as our space will allow US to publish In
portant matters from that quarer-such as the adj
dress of the the Vigilance Committee to the people OF

revolution still continues and the Committee are still
supreme. Like theNY Express we had iaduged the ey
pectation that next adyces would give assurance that
the State having been rid of the most notorious rnt
shans and ballot box suffers the Committee had dis
1anded--or were about TO disband but that expec-
tation IS disappointed. 1t does not appear that there
has been any collision between the citizens and civil
autherlties,-and therefore no bloodshed.-but this
happy circumstance is owing to the extraordinary
fact that the Vigilance Committee appear to have on
their side the population masse and the Governor
