The FUTURE OF New ORLEANs.-The
N. o. Bulletin says:
The eroakers, whose special business
and seeming delight it is, to decry New
Orleans, aud predict its downfall, are des-
tined to be disappointed. We have reached
and recovered from the lowest point of de-
preston. Last year in our commercial
scale was the zero standard we will never
descend as low again the present season
We have recuperated, and recovered all we
lost and the indications of returning and
permanent prosperity were never more en-
couraging than at this present time
We bavn't the least doubt of it. There
is room enough in the Mississippi valley for
any number of large eities-and when the
people on the western side of the great food
see fit to declare and adopt the doctrine of
nOn-intercourse, when the Mississippi river
shall be only bed of sand-and the Mezi-
can Gulf has evaporated into air-thin air
then may men begin to mark the decadence
of the Belle of the sunny South Hurrah
for New Orleans May her destiny be on
ward, and her march forever upward in the
scale of honorable progress.

NEW YORK, July " IT steamer Illinois,
which sailed from AspinwaH on the 18th, with
advices from San Francisco to the 5th inst, has
arrived with 81, 100000 in gold.
The California authorities are apparently de-
termined to make no further resistance TO the Wig
lance Committee.
The most startling event of the week was the
stabbing Of s. r. Hopkins by Mr. Terry, Associate
Justice of The Supreme Court Mr. Hopkins had
proceeded to the office of DIR. Ashe, Iihe Navy
Agent for the purpose of arresting Mallory, charg-
ed with conveying munitions of war to the city for
the use of the State Terry interfered, At the
head of an armed party, to protect Mallory Hop
kins collected some assistance and attacked the
other party on the street A melee eusued. in
which Terry stabbef Hopkins with bowie knife.
The news Of the ARRAY reached the room of the
Committee, and general alarm WAS sounded In
fifteen minutes a regiment of infantry, two COM
panies of cavalry and five Of artillery were in
motion In the mean time Maloney and his party
had taken refuge in the back of . building well
guarded and fortified, which was Immediately in
vested on all sides by the troops, and the inmates
ordered to surrender. They obeyed without hest
tation. Maloney and Terry were taken to the
quarters of the Committee.
At the same time armories of the State troops
were invested and all forced to surrender to the
committee. One hundred State troops were taken
prisoners but all subsequently released on parol.
The latest accounts state that Terry was still q
prisoner Hopkins was still alive.
On the same day of the collision two vessels
freighted with arms for the State authorits were
seized in the Bay by armed vessels belonging to
the committee
Subsequently J. L Durkee, captain of one of
these vessels arrested by the Federal authori-
ties and held to bail in the sum Of SOS 600 the
charge of piracy.
The Committee disclamed all intention of OPP

Much dissatisfaction is felt in San Francisco, in
relation to the bill before Congress for quashing
land titles in California.

The Rights OF .iIinaiiIIes.

We are glad to perceive that one at least of the
Journals OF the North has endeavored to disabuse
the public mind of that section of notion which
seems to have become almost chronic there, that
the voice of a majority is always Del, and that
lnnorties have not, and ought not to have, any
rights. 1t is precisely this error which overwhelm-
ed with disaster the repeated efforts OF France TO
establish republic with the representative sys-
ten. She neglected the rights of minorites and
was driven by the tyranny of msjorties to adopt
the more lenient and endurabe government of a
military despo.ism. Napoleon defines his present
government As a Democracy, or the People ruling
by one man-whilst ours is, he justly declares
Republic. Better that one Man should rule either
for the people or for himself, than have hundred
masters. 1t was their ignorance of the represent
alive principle, which delivered up the Athenian
and Roman Republics to anarchy, and then to des-
potisn. Ii England is the freest government of
Europe, and has rational prospect of perma-
nent freedom as any country in the world, it is
because of the power of minoTities
