but in all the elements Of law and order,
no citizen could desire to see any change for
the present. The reign Of terror, is in the
hearts of scoundrels and assassins. They
have never feared God, or the laws, they now
begin to fear the majesty of the people
Rufiiansm is ended and all its friends Of
high and low degree, put up the hypocritcal
shout, that our poor country lies bleeding at
the feet of mobocrats, and its dear Constitu
ton is torn into fragments.
LET us see Judge Norton, as wise as
Conrad, and as good Judge as any in this
State, holds Court every day. Suitors come
and 90 as usual, the Clerk enters up DEGREES
and the Sheriff executes them. The other
Courts follow his example and though our
friend Judge Freelon delivers, now and then,
stump speech from the bench, he looks
as smiling and as polite as ever, and main
tains his dignity just as well. We can for
give him. however, for a little soreness on
this subject, for we believe he has not receiv-
ed fair treatment from the hands of all the
participants in this work of reform.

THE Reign of Terror"

Under this head those papers that have
entered into partisan warfare against the
present movement Of that portion of the
citizens of San Francisco. who are Of and
who support the Vigilance Committee, give
daily accounts of the frighttul state Of affairs
in that city. 1t is spoken of by them as
treason to the laws and Constitution of the
State, and these "sour-lour and sott-pork
revolutionis" are held up as monsters in ty-
rannv 1t is also stated that one of the objects
of the Committee is to secure the secession
cf California from the United States Con-
federacv. There is a lack of facts to sustain
these assertions, and an untaimess with which
they treat the matter that induces but little
sympathy for them with the people
As much as the people of this part of the
State depore the state of affairs now existing
in San Francisco, we have no hesitation in
saving. that ninteen-twentehs of our citi-
zens approve of, and if necessary will sus
tain the action Of the Vigilance Committee,
so far as they have as yet gone. The Com
mttee should get through with their business
as soon as possible and disband, We want no
such division among onr people as will spring
up, if this is not done. We object to the
cry of "vigalence" or 'anti-vigalence,' but if
such a choice is forced upon the people, we
warn these gentlemen that their incendiary
course will be condemned The action Of
the Committee thus far has been leveed
arainst men of the vlest character, and such
as any community might be glad to rid
themselves of.
In speaking of the necessities which has
brought the organization into existence, the
Grand Jury have made a report, extracts
from which will be found in another column,
and so far as the state Of terror existing in
the city is concerned, we give certain facts
taken from the True Californian Of the 2d:
The true condition of affairs here at the
present time, differ but in few particulars
from their customary routine. Business and
pleasure of all kind, 90 on precisely as usual.
The Merchant, Banker, Mechanic, Lawyer
and Doctor pursue their avocatons just as
they did week before last; the Theatres and
Lecture rooms are open; children play in the
streets and ladies shop along Montgomery,
Sacramento and Kearny, just as though no
..rern of terror" existed

TIE BURNING of tho steamer Indiana on
Lake Erie heretofore reported by telegraph
originated in the wood work around one of the
chimneys, and spread very rapidly, burning
the vessel to the waters edge in very few
minutes. Mr.. Wetmore, the first mate, COM
handing in the absence Of Capt. Pheat, (who
was left sick at home,) exerted himself to the
utmost to save the passengers, and was the
last one to leave the burning vessel. He stood
at his pest throwing doors, life preservers
stools, &c to the passengers, who, wild with
excitement, were leaping overheard in masses.
The weather was pleasant, and dead calm
prevailed, and Mr.. Wetmore says that if he
could have controlled the recklessness of the
passengers in jumping overheard not one of
them would have been lost. During the ex.
element some of the fremen and deck hands
launched a small boat, into which several of
them jumped, but it was drawn under the
wheels Of the steamer and they were lost
With regard to the number lost, reports are
conflicting. Mr.. Marsh, the clerk of the veg.
sci, says that not less than fifty have been lost
The number of passengers saved by the Mis-
sissippi is 142.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union publishes mole than seven col
umns of the minority report OF the Kansas In
vestigating Committee from the pen of Mr.
Oliver, which completely exposes the utter
groundlessness of most of the conclusions Of
the msjority report. 1t should be carefully
read by all whe are really anxious to get at
the truth of the Kansas embroglio-as it clears
away, completely, the mountains of misrepre-
sentation Of the occurrences that have actually
taken place there, on which the free-State
cause has principally relied for its justifca-
tion in the judgment of those who really res.
pect the popular will. The Union also men
tons that after four years of delay the ac-
dian agent in California, Nave been finally
adjusted the balance found to be due him by
the Government being some two thousand dol
lars. He was removed by the Fillmore Ad-
ministratiOn under serious charges, according
to the Union, which thus prove to have been
wholly unfcunded; the Indebtedness in his
case being from the Government to him, and
not from him to the Government, as originally
alleged.
The Inteiiigcneer publishes an extract from
letter, under date of San Juan del Moro
July LIST, 1856, which so completely bears out
our representations of the true condition of
affairs in Nicaragua, as that we re.publish
from it as follows, to show the Stars readers
that We have kept posted in Central American
affairs:
"On the 11th of June ultims the so-called
President Rivas escaped from Lern to Gilman
dega, and the following day issued decree
cnJOining Walker to leave the country with
all his foreign soldiers. Although Rivas had
only SIX hundred native troops under his COM
mand, Walker submitted to retreat from Leon
to Granada, leaving that place in possession
of Rivas; but on his arrival at the latter town
Walker rebellod against Rivas, declaring him
a traitor. The late Minister Fer1er, whose
great merit is to be tiIsy the whole time, has
been appointed the Provisional President un.
der Walker, and is bound to make desper-
ate resistance. t....
chad Walker to contend only against
Rivas, backed by the unaImed people Of
Nicaragua, some chance might be left for the
adventurers; but the troops Of Guatemala and
Salvador, six thousand strong, are by this time
in Nicaragua. Gen Martinez, with eight hun.
dred soldiers from Honduras, has taken pos
session of Segovia and Matsgalps, and must
have Effected his reunion with six hundred
Niearaguans, raised in Chontales by General
Chamorro, and the army of Costa Rica will
return again to the charge. Walker has six
hundred Americans in all, enfeebled by the
climate, unvhOlesome and scanty food, and
decimated by the yellow fever; but give him
eighteen hundred, as his paItizans claim, and
the adventurous career Of Walker must be ia
tally closed ere long"
