"f there be those either North South who desire
an administration for the North as against the South,
or for the South as against the North, they are not
the men who should give their suffrages to me.
For my own part know only my country, my whole
country, and nothing but my country"
[MILLARD FILLaoREs SPEECH IN NEW York.
THE foundation of my preference is, that Mr..
Fillmore has administered the Executive Govern
ment with signal success and ability. He has
been tried and found true, faithful honest and con-
scientous. wish to say nothing in derogation from
his eminent competitors, (Webster and Scott) they
have both rendered great services to their country
the one in the field, and the other in the Cabinet.
They might possibly administer the government as
well as Mr.. Fillmore has done. But then neither OF
them has been tried he has been tried in the eeva-
ted position he holds, and think that prudence
and wisdom had better restrain us from making any
change without necessity for it, the existence OF
which do not perceive. Okys letter TO UUnnann,

Further Accounts from California.

TuHtcT ACCOUNTS JTOM CdfUoTutd.
NEW York, July 27.-The steamer Illinois, with
San Francisco dates of the 9th instant, arrived
here this noon, bringing 81 $3.50, 900 in treasure.
The adyices from San Francisco indicate that
the State authorities are apparently determined to
make no further resistance to the Vigilance Com
mittee. The most startling event Of the week was
the stabbing of s. II. Hopkins by David s. Terry
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Hopkins
had proceeded to the Office of DR.. Ashe, Navy
Agent for the purpose of arresting S. r. Maloney,
charged with attempting to convey munitions Of
war to the city for the use of the State. Judge
Terry, being present, interfered to protect Malo-
ney, and, together with others, formed an armed
party to escort Maloney to Dupont street armory.
Hopkins collected assistance and attacked the
other party 10 the street. A struggle ensued in
the course of which Terry stabbed Hopkins with
bowie-knife; the latter fell senseless
The news was Immediately communicated to the
Executive Committee, who were in session at the
time. A general alarm was sounded for rally of
the committees forces, and in fifteen minutes a
regiment of infantry, two companies of cavalry,
and five companies of artillery were in motion.
In the mean time, Maloney, Terry, and their party
had taken refuge in back building well guarded
and fortified. This building was invested on all
sides by the committees troops, and the inmates
were ordered to surrender. They obeyed without
hesitation, and Maloney and Terry were taken and
conveyed prisoners TO the headquarters OF the
committee. At the same time the armores of the
State troops were invested and forced to surrender
| to the committee, and one hundred State troops
were taken prisoners. These were subsequently
| released on parole. At the latest dates Judge
Terry was in custody and Hopkins was still alive.
On the same day that Hopkins was stabbed two
vessels freighted with arms for the State authori
ties were seized by armed vessels belonging to the
committee. Subsequently, j. L. Durkee, COM
mander of one of the latter, was arrested by the
Federal officers on charge of piracy, and held to
bail in $4,000. The committee disclaim any in
tention of opposing the Federal authorities.
There is much indignation manifested in San
Francisco relative to the bill before Congress for
quashing land titles in California

The Alexandria Gazette, one of the soundest
journals in the Union, thus alludes to Mr. Fill
more's prospects:
"The prospects for the election of Mr.. Fillmore
al Frightening every day. Accounts from all
quarters indicate growing desire on the part Of
the conservative, law-abiding, and Union. loving
men of the country to effect this object Mr.. Fill
more has been tried. His administration gave gen.
eral satisfaction, his opponents admit him to be
just and equitable, and this is just what the coun-
try wants-a man who knows no North, no South,
no East, no West but has the interest of the
whole country at heart, and will administer the
laws without fear or prejudice-a man who would
rather do right than be President. Sectionasm
and fanaticism must be put down if the Union is to
stand, and Mr.. Fillmore has said he will exert all
his powers to accomplish this end. Let all then
go to work heartily together, with fixed deter
mination, each for himself, that no dependency
or indifference on his Tart shall prevent success,
but that his diligence and confidence shall co.
operate with the abors of his fellow citizens and
Willard Fillmore will be the next President of these
United States"

tickets are one dollar and half each, and hear
a good many have been sold to-day. But really,
the great amusement of the place is driving Last
evening there were over one hundred fine carri-
ages on the beach at once, and some fifteen or
twenty ladies' on horseback. The tide was low the
