SAN FRANCISCO, July 90 1860
The suit Of John Green against WHIT. Coleman
and Others, members of the Vigilance Committee, for
$4,000, for false imprisonment Of plaintiff in june
1856 wss closed on the 2lst inst. by verdict of $50
in favor Of the plaintiff who however, has to pay the
costs. amounting TO 900 more. 1t was proved on
the trial that the plaintiff was arrested and imprisoned
for one day by the Vigilance Committee and that for
one month he was required TO report himself at the
Vigilance Police Office every day. No evidence was
offered 10 show that Green had committed any oisnse
to Justify this treatment. Several members OF the
Committee testified tina, Green was himself member
Of the organization. certain kind Of bad repute at
aches 10 some of the plaintiff relatives, and TINS may
have had lie influence also on the jury. Inc pnonc
generally are pretty well satisfied with the verdict
the Vigilance men because it will prevent the prosecg
ton of any other suits of the same kind; the ant-'gl-
lance men, because Green was member. Inc exam
nation of the Witnesses In the case occupied three Gays
and this was the first time that the doings OF tne Com
mittee were exposed to the light under OATH Nothing
of importance previously unknown was made public.
Mr. Burke the present Chief of Police, testified that
he was a member, and he described the manner IN
which trsls eonducted-brefy but not uafairly.
One witness testified that there were SOOO members III
the Committee, out of Il. 900 voters in the city.
There is prospect Of very lively political cam
caign. The Republicans are actively engaged in or
ganziDg clubs and they will go into the contest with
light hearts bopipgto carry nber of the counties
perhaps the State. The Democrats are In sore ribua,
tom some are for Breckenridge, some for Douglas, and
not few on the fence. Breckenridge has majority
of the politicians and newspaper organs, but Douglas
has, if current be true majority of the State
Central Committee. The German Democrats and the
Irish, Gov. Downey, ex-Congress nan james a. Nc
DOugal the Chairman of the State Central COMMITTEE,
John =. Hoge also an ex Congressman, are for
Douglas, while Weller, Collector Washington, and
nearly all the Federal officials for Breckenridge.

Breckinrdge will be much stronger in the State than
Douglas.

AGRICUL TURAL REPORT FOR JULY.

In the State of New-York, so far az the
early crops ave concerned, July has proved pro-
nitious. The Winter wheat and earlier Sum-
mer wheat has been secured in the finest condi
ton. and in many wheat districts threshing has COM
menced, and the yield generally exceeds expectations
both 10 quantity and quality. In the Hudson Valley
the rye and oats have been generally secured In good
order but the yield is lighter than usual owing to the
drouth. The hay crop has been very sensbly dimin-
ished in that region from the cause. Hs line be
drawn through the State north and south on the paral
lei Of Utica 1t will be found that east Of the crops are
not up to the average while west of it crops 90 large
have not been secured through the month Of July for
many years.
Early corn, Spring wheat, and OATS and most of the
hay, are gathered. Late wheat and oats may suffer
from the hot dry weather of the early part Of August
but corn can only be raised by this very weather.
Should it continue two weeks longer, it win 90 far
toward giving us fair crop Of cO provided there is
not killing frost before the 18th Of September, which
is not likely to happen. The set for is greater
than for years before there is hardly a stalk that
does not bear two, and very many three and four.
The kernel begins to fill upon the cob, and will soon
be in roasting order
In many localities potatoes promise well, but the
crop will not be as abundant as was supposed last
month.
In the great dairy regions of the State pasturage has
been abundant through the month and more than the
usual supply of cheese and butter has been made.
The high price of cheese has drawn it ont
of the farmers hands, and there has rarely been
so little in the diaries at the commencement of
August as this year. About the usual quantity
of butter has been made, but it has not
gone forward so rapidly the cheese there is not
the same active demand. The makers of the two arti
ces, however keep to their product without change.
If the cheese men have the advantage this year. it s 90
slight that it is not worth while to quit butter making
for cheese making Besides the bulk Of tie butter 10
made in diaries of less than fifteen cows, while the
cheese is made in those ranging from thirty to sixty,
and many as high eighty and ninety. If the dairy
men go into August good pastures they have little
to fear for the balance of the season.
The only crop now in danger is the Indian corn, and
that may yet be good.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. IL, 1860.
Arriving in this city few days ago, direct from
New-Mexico, very much surprised to learn that
no account had yet been published of the gold dis
coveries near the head waters of the ella. 1t has
been known for long time that gold existed in
various parts of Mexico but the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning sufficient water, and the frequent attacks from
hostile Indians have hitherto prevented any successful
effort at mining operations. Now, however, despite Of
all difficulties, the attempt has been made and il is
proved that gold does exist in quantities sufficient TO re-
pay TO miner. When left New Mexico, the news
bad ust begun to get wind but still thousands
