DECISION IN THE SUFFER- LAND CAsE.-We
find the following dispatch, from San Fran
cisco, in the Union of Tuesday:
Judge Hoffman to-day filed his opinion in
the case OF the United States against John A.
Sutter. The survey is rejected and new
survey ordered. Both Sacramento and Ma
rysville are to be included in the new survey
After reviewing the numerous circumstances
that have contributed to render the case
more than ordinarily difficult to arrive at a
satisfactory decision, Judge Hoffman says:
81 am fully aware of the force of the Oh
lection which may be urged against the con-
clusion to which have come The most that
can be said is that that conclusion is perhaps
less Objectionable than any other. Its cor
rectness bears mainly on the answers to be
given to the following questions: Is the set
Element of New llelvetii to be treated as n
location by Sutter of ct least portion of his
grant to which any subsequent location by
consequence must be subordinate ? Is the
location so made properly restricted to the
line, the boundaries of which were run by
Vioget, and delineated by dotted lines on the
map B. 7. L., or ought it to include all the
land between the American river and the par
allel of latitude drawn on the map mention.
ed in the grant? Should the lands shown TO
be inundated at certain periods of high water
be excluded from the tract? Should the va
rious sub-grants by Sutter be deemed to have
operated as locations by him Of the tracts
and should they now be successive~
ly included in the survey in the order of their
dates until the whole quantity is obtained ?
have put the points on which this decision
chiefly turns in this form in order that the
attention of the Supreme Court may be more
directly drawn to them"

GENERAL ScoTT.-The World, in defending
General Scott against an attack made upon
him by the New York papers, in which it
was urged that the hero is thirty years too
old for the position he now holds, says;
"There could hardly be greater contrast
than that between the different styles of con-
ducting the Crimean and Mexican expedi-
tions Scott landed his little army, planted
his batteries, and eight days afterward dis,
patched word to his Government that the
flag of the United States floated in triumph
over the castle of San Juan de Ulloa-the
same wave-girded and battled SCARED for
tress which in Europe, had been deemed
another Sevastopol. He sealed the Cordil-
leras, bore the eagles of his country in quick
succession through the streets of Jalapa, Pc
rote, and Heubla-with $500 men swept
through the so called impracticable pass of
Cerro Gordo, defended by II, 800 Mexicans--
with the same number of men defeated 32,-
coo at Contreras and Cherubusco-7,l90

cupied by 35, 900 troops. lie did his work,

was done by Raglan. He threw not life
away that could be saved, and successfully
used every possible means to secure the
health and comfort of his men.

son of the year, penetrating into the very
heart of the enemy's country, through crowd

suffering and lost not one tenth SO many of
them by disease as Raglan did though en-
camped all the while within six miles of the
sea lie poured out no blood for fruitess

that of Balaklava he invited no deadly at

the occasion for it is enough
1t is characteristic of Gen Scott to prepare

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT or Gov DowNEY.-
The Nevada Davistes met in County Con-
venton recently. and adopted sundry resolu-
tions, two of which are as follows:
Hesolycd. That we regard the Constitution
of the United States as a paternal bond of
love and duty and we hestatingy condemn
a policy of coercion-an attempt Mt uliuga-
ton--the imposition of unconstitutional oaths
the suppression of opinion at variance with
the ruling power, as subversve of the liber-
ties of the citizen, Of every revered and hal
lowed principle of free government, and
tending to the inevitable destruction of the
Union.
Resolged, That Gov John G. Downey,
having administered the affairs Of the State
with wisdom and honesty, and proclaimed in
reference to the difficulties which beset our
country, marked with no less wisdom than
boldness, commands the heartfelt homage OF
every true Democrat, and we accord to him
our full approval Of his administration.
Daily national Democrat., 1861-06-12
The following were adopted:

Resolyed, That the delegates selected by
this Convention TO reprepsent this. county in
the State Convention be. and they are hereby
instructed to cast their votes, and use all
honorable means to procure the nomination
of the Hon. jonathan Logan for or'Comptroller
Of state.
Rcsolced, By THE Convention, that the
delegates 0 the State Convention beinstruct>
ed to vote for John G.. Downey for our next
Governor.
The Convention broke up in confusion,
pending a motion to endorse the resolutions
of the State Central Committee One OBJ
lection urged to these resolutions was that no
Breckenridge man would endorse them. The
State Convention of the Fourth of July will
have to be made up of different stuff from
the Tehama County Convention if its ticket
is to be deserving Of the support of Union
men. We hope the fshy element will be
small, and that no inducements will be Of
fered to retain it in the Convention.
