Fli/m J OfOTtlle, July 2D, 1850. Tuic Robber* — Uuo or iwuoi iu« ptuauua who started in pursuit of the rubbers return ed yesterday, without bringing any intelli gcnoe of the rascals. There w a rumor in town to the effect that, owe of them is Burn ed Freeman, and formerly kept the Miner’s llmbb, on the Foster's Bar Road. Another is said to be the notorious Tom Bell. We hare not learned the name of the third per son. It is quite probable that they, will not be easily found. “ Lcr JUSTICE BE Do.NE THOUGH THI UcATiai Fan.,'* was the motto of the Vigi lance Committee when they supposed Hop kins would die. Now that he is wall, and Judge Terry is guilty of no crime, they, bare found it necessary to ebango their motto somewhat, and they now shout “ Let Terry be hong or banished though tho Heavens may rail." Tua Subterranean. —This "Hole in the around" is one of the farorite places of resort during this warm weather, and if the Daaoou keeps on. ho will hare to enlarge bis haloon. Wo hoard a splendid brass band playing in there the other evening. vJrano Dinner.— Frank will give one of his old fashioned Sunday Dinners, at hie llastaurant. to-morrow, (Sunday), composed of all the rarities, such as Turtle Soap, Roast Turkey,Chicken.

The price el wool will fall.toits true value about next November. litllerUOll*. We are heartily tired of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee—of their extra-judi cial actions—ami the feeling which their ex istcncc bus created and is now fostering in community. No subject that has ever agi tated the public mind, Las been fraught with so much evil, or given rise to such acri monious feelings, or excited the public mind to such a pitch. Neighbors regard each oJker with perfect astonishment, and dis trust and foul suspicion is engendered among those whose intercourse has formerly evi denced the most honorable feelings and friendly relations. The press, too, has felt the influence of the mob at the liay, and forget that their ap peals should be to the judgment of the peo ple, instead of their passions, and indulge in the moat bitter and acrimonious feelings, It is almost impossible to open a paper from below, without reading the disgusting de tails of a lynch law execution, or the specu lations of mob editors upon the next victim af the tyrants who now rule San Francisco with the secret conclave and the bayonet, to everlasting disgrace of our republican insti tutions. As if to add fresh fuel to the feel ings already agitating the State, the Atlan tic papers are now favoring the California public with a re-publication of their pro ceedings, and Casey and Cora have just been re-hung by the arrival of the last Steamer. Editors, who have remained tranquil during the wildest political excitements through which the country has passed, have yielded to the deleterious influence arising in San Francisco, and given vent to their pent-up feelings, in bitterness of language in strong contrast with their former course. The at mosphere is impregnated with lawlessness— the times are demoralized—and the public sense vitiated and perverted into unhealthy channels. In proof of this, is the chronicled fact that hundreds rushed to San Francisco to witness the execution of the first Vigi lance victims. On the circulation of a ru mor that some unfortunate individual is to I ; be hanged at a certain hour by the Vigi lance Committee, and men, women and chil dren—old and young—hurry to the Vigi lance liastile for the puoposo of witnessing the excpectcd execution.. The depraved taste which seeks for its gratification the dy ing agonies—the throes and convulsions of a fellow being hurried into eternity, is a disgrace to humanity. When, we find, wo men bringing their young children to feast their eyes on the horrid spectacle—ladies in their carriages with their lorgnettes ready to be used to bring the object nearer—mor als* refinement and sensibility—in a word, all the finer feelings of our nature must be at s lue ebb indeed. The evil influences which this Vigilance movement has scattered abroad, arising from familiarity with blood, from the sight of thousands of armed men taking the law into their own bands, or, rather, trampling upon all law, and in the language of Jeho vah, saying “Vengeance is mine," will not be erased till another generation shall have passed away, and principles of right, rever ence for the law, and respect for the com mands of God, shall have rooted out the memory of the lawless of the Sun Francisco mob. The safeguards of the people in their persons, property liberty and lives, are the constitution and laws ot the land. “These are cast down from their high places in the affection and regard of our citisens, and trampled in the dust, and in their stead, we have the uncontrolled will of a committee of twenty-uine, enforced by three thousand gleaming bayonets." The committee have a fearful responsibility renting upon them. “Not mere physical responsibility and ac countability, but a responsibility which, in their calmer hours, when excitement, and passion shall have passed away—when in after life they shall sit down to reflect on their past lives—when age, creeping on apace, shall silver o'er their locks, and the messenger of death shall chum them for his own—then, when thoir own souls shall sit in judgment ou-tbeir acts, will they feel the weight of that moral responsibility, which will weigh them down with a repentance which we trust may atone for all." fST We base been shown a Nutlet with the beading* “Democratic Miners’ Conven tion," calling a meeting* in front of the Em pire Hotel, “to take into consideration the propriety of supporting a Miner'* ticket at the approoobiog election. The call contain* the signature of twenty-four miner*. It looks like a weak invention of the eumjr. We shall endeavor to have a reporter on the ground, and give their proceedings in Mon day's issue. jjrtr We would caution the folks below against that chap Stiles, who strayed away from this office a few days since. He is par ticularly good-looking, and is a perfect ear mint among the fair. We hope some benev olent editor will send him back before he gets into mischief. Wills, Fargo i Co.—We understand, says the New York Timet, of July sth, that Wells Fargo i Co. are advised by Telegraph this afternoon, that three of the rubbers of their Express fro*> Hubuquo last winter of £50,000 in Gold belonging to the Govcrn ment. have been convicted by the Court at Detroit, and* that this makes valid their at tachments on certain property in Massachu setts, believed to have been purchased by the convicts with their ill-gotten treasure. As a singular coincidence, it may also be mentioned that the same firm of express men were this afternoon advised of the re scue from the bottom of Lake Erie of their iron chsat, lost on the steamer Atlantic three years ago, containing £SOOO in gold, and a large amount of other valuables. j— Politics and the Pulpit. —We find the following sensible remarks in a late number of the New York Mirror, a paper which has hitherto favored a political organisation which has derived most of its vitality and importance from the sacreligious aid which it now condemns: “ If wc arc to have political churches and stump speeches in the pulpit, we should be gin by blotting out a part of both of our Slate and national constitutions, and make the Church directly an ally with the Slate, as is generally done in Europe. la that case wc should be perfectly right to invoke the aid of the pulpit to sustain the policy of this or that system of politics. But, until this done, neither the State nor any party in the State has a right to count on any efficient aid from the pulpit, fine pulpit would thunder ita applauses in favor of this measure, another’ iu favor of that,. until at last, we should have the church converted into a mass meeting of politicians, fiercely advocating each its special and particular policy.” Col. Benton on Col. Fremont. —Cok Benton in his late speech at St. Louis, re ferred to the nomination of Colonel Fremo«». his son-in-law, to » rumor that he would support tuns and said: “ Now, when has it ever happened that I have been inlihcnccd by family connections, or even by my own interest ? What office have L ever got lor one of my own family ? What appointment have k ever got for my self? No,citizens! lam above such consid erations. I am above family, and above self, when the good of the Union is concern ed'. Prom first to last I have been for my country, and mean to continue for it. I I have made mauy sacrifices fur it, and am making u great one now iu standing this canvas.” pSf The Black Republicans have found anollier fact in favor of Fremont. He is not only the son-in-law of Oul. Benton, but his wife’s namj is “’Jessie.” Great enthusiasm prevailed among the “ Heps.” when this im portant announcement was made, and they at once resolved to give their opponents “Jessie!” Mr. Fremont is indeed a fortu nate man. lie is not only the son-fn-law of a great man, but his wife's name is “Jessie.” These two facts in bis favor settle the quess tion. They would make a respectable can didate out of the “ woolly horse” he cap tured in the Rocky Mountains. If the Demo crats get “ Jessie,” wonder if there will be a division of the spoils ? The Vigilance organs, on the arri val of the steamer two weeks since, got up a very pretty yarn entitled “ Billy Mulligan on hanging.” The last steamer brought another entitled “ Billy Mulligan on tho Vigilance Cosamittso> If Billy Mulligan was guilty of crime, and had been sent to the state prison, he woudl'nok have to form himself into a Vigilance Committee every time one of the “ purest and beet” visited New York. The Ladies for Law and Order.—A gentleman who has recently visited ahboat every residence on Molelumne River, says the Sun, that not only are the men (with a gingle exception) in favor of law and order, but thafcthe ladies arc “ in arms” in the good cause. Hn-saya-be believes they would turn out “-to a man” in an expedition sgainst Fort Annoy Bags! What do the Committee think of that? The; may yet re alize the flute of the individual whawaa hung “one day in the same garters.” The Unjtoed States Territory —-Ac cording to a correspondent of the Boston Transcript, the whole area cf the U States in 1790, the original territory, was no more than 820,650 square miles. Louisiana, in 1803, extended the area to 1.720.268 square miles; Florida, in IS2I, to2 - ,*87,159; Texas, in 1845. Oregon in 1846. and California in 1848, to 2.986.166 square mils*. Pitht.— A Boston wcmac has writtea a brief letter to a member of Congress from Massachusetts. It reads as follnws : ‘‘Balaam’s ass spoke once—cant’ you?” A Load.— The California Stage Compa ny’s coach came in from Marysville last evening, loaded with thirty passengers, that prince of driver* Bob. Neal, holding the rib bons. ' Kansas —The editor of the St. Louis (Mu.) U'-publican , who has recently returned from Kansas, says : Probably two thuds of the stories which find their way into the papers concerning the atrocities committed in Kansas, arc en titled to but little credence ; though nu merous enough arc the outrages, but too well and painfully continued, which beggar description not less than stagger belief Ut such a character was that committed hy the Abolitionists some time since, and which from its enormity, was so earnestly iWmbt eil—where eight men were dragged front their beds, and mutilated and murdered in the presence of their wires A Mistake. —The S. F. Chronicle says that the “ Bear Flag” owes its origin to Fremont and his associates! This is a mis take. Fremont did not arrive here nor take any part in the disturbances of 1440 until alter the “ iiear Flag” had been raise 1. The celebrated •• Bear Flag” was raised by a party of Americans and others in Upper California, who declared themselves inde pendent of Mexico. The military post ut Sonoma, under the command ot (ten. Valle jo, was captured by the revolutionists some time before Fremont’s arrival. — Sonora Herald, Geriutt Smitmi formerly an Abolition candidate lor the Presidency, has contribu ted £5OO to tl e Kansas fund in Chicago.— llis particular fricn 1 and confrere , Fred Douglass, the nigger, who was a prominent candidate for the Vice Presidency ou the same ticlfct, has not yet antied. Question and Answer. —Ths Pittsburg Gazette ventures the random question, more probably for the purpose of seeing how it would look in print, than because it has the slightest doubt in relation to the subject: Win. Buchanan carry Pennsylvania? To which we answer with a shout of exulta tion “Yes! By fifty thousand majori ty I" — Pennsylvanian. The Oi.d Line Whigs of the Ashland Dis trict, of Kentucky, have presented the Lion. J. C. Breckcnridga with a handsome pair of horses, as “ an evidence of their pride in their fellow-citiien, though of opposite poli tics, and as a pledge of their confidence in in the coming administration of which ho will be a prominent member.” The N. Orleans Della says,, truly-, we think, that Mr. Fillmore will soon regret that he accepted a nouinatiou from that re sidium of Know Nothing conservatism, the Rump Parliament of Philadelphia, and of having connected his respectable name with the descending career of a party which has subsided even beneath the importance off a faction. Wool. —The Santa Crus Sentinel says that speculators are engaged throughout the State in purchasing wool, which is to be shipped to Now York. Our Slate is- admi rably adapted to sheep raising, and it may not be lung, before wool is a principal of California, trade. Clear Lake. —The Shasta Republican learns- that Capt. Potts, of Tehama, and severabother citizens of that place and vi cinity, have gone to Clear Lake for the pur pose of making.a. permanent settlement. Illinois Lands —The sales of lands by the Illinois Central Road continue large, and it is stated to an unusu<Uly good class of buyers—not speculators but settlers. The average price this month is over $lO per acre The average in the original pro gram of the roadiwas $8 per acre. Lynch uuko. —Mr Adams house,in Lynch burgh, was broken open on'Thursday eve ning, and a draw containing about $4O car ried away. The doors of tho Western Hotel were also broken open, but the rascals got nothing, unless it was a few horns-oft whis key. “ I pray daily that this accursed Union may be dissolved, even if blood have to be spilt." So declared a Black Republican political clergyman in our hearing a few days ago. Thank heaven, the blasphemous prayers ot such Abolition fanatics never reach above the eartht, and are quite powerless to ac complish the result so devoutly wished for Ito wonder the work of grace should lan guish and decline in a church over which a man cfaerisbisg. such, sentiments presides as pastor.' —thmghkeepsie Telegraph. Texas, it is said, is now receiving many tierman immigrants direct from Eu rope, who formerly came-to New York. The Courant says that Frtmont, the Abolition candidate, “wilt run like wild fire.” Something like that probably. Wild fire never runs among the people, but only in dead grass, and ends in smoke. The JtwisH Sabbath. — A Synod of Rabbis will shortly be held in Paris to dis cuss the propriety of transferring the obser vance of the Jewish Sabbath from Saturday to Suiiday. The WoojbEv Hoa»k Ticeett.— The BosJ ton Times says Col. Fremont is distinguished for three particularly glorious achieve ments, vis: 1. The discovery of Darnuna’s celebrated Rocky Mountain Woolly Horse, 2 The picking of the biggest plumb out of the great California golden pie—and, 3.
