[From the Alta California of June 23 ] THE SAN FRANCISCO REVOLUTION. CRKEXDER OF THE LAW AM) ORDER FORCES —TWO TIIOCSANU STAND OF ARMS SECURED —VIWUNCS COMMITTEE TRIUMPHANT. (Coutiuued from first page.) Speech oe 1)r. Ashe. —After the gather ing about the Armory, which betokened that the Committee were about to have their own way, Dr. Ashe appeared at otic of the windows of the second floor and said that Terry "as in the building and did not intend to make any resistance or attempt to escape. He asked that one of the Execu tire Committee might be sent for to confer upon the terms of surrender. He said lie did not attempt to make a speech, as it w as a time of great excitement and not a proper time for sjieech making. While persons were gone for some of the Committee to confer with them, the Dr. again appeared at the window and asked permission to to have Gen. Howard meet them at the armory, but those in command indignantly denied the request and asked him to retire, saying that no man could en ter or come out of the building until the Ex ecutive Committee were heard from. The delegation from the Executive Com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Truett, Smiley, Vail, Tillinglmst and Dempster, arrived about 4 o’clock, and after a short conference with one or two of them, a written demand was made for the persons of Terry, Maloney, and all the arms in the building. Several communications passed back and forth be tween the Committee men and those in the Armory, in regard to the terms of surrender. Frequent dispatches were sent to and re ceived from the Executive Committee in ses sion at head-quarters, during the pendency of negotiations. Erom what we could gather from conver sation about the door, we learned that when finally notified that they must surrender, fifteen minutes was given them to do so.— At the expiration of that time, one of the Committee said in u low and distinct voice, •uflicicut to be heard by them, “we wunt your arms—open those doors.” Without r moment’s hesitation the iron bolts were drawn and the rooms thrown o|ien. About twenty men were then marched into the building, and without resistance, brought out ah the arms there, embracing u stand of about three hundred. These were loaded qpon drays and conveyed under a strong escort to the Committee rooms on Sucru meuto street. Two coaches were then brought up in front of the door and the prisoners, Terry and Maloney, were conduct ed down and placed in them for transporta tion to the People’s tribunal. Terry ap peared very inditfereiit to the spectacle that surrounded him, and lie wore a sort of in different smile as he entered the carriage.— Maloney was more excited and affected, and looked very pale. After the prisoners and their attendents were seated in the carriages, they were es corted by a strong deputation of the milita ry to the rooms, passing Dupont to Wash ington street, thence to Kearny, thence to Clay, thence to Montgomery, thence to Sacramento and to the rooms. All along this route the streets were most densely crowded by, people, who were anxious to get a sight of their Supreme Justice. It was difficult to keep the crowd out of the way of the cortege which boro the distin guished prisoners. After these prisoners had been caged, the Committee turned their attention to the re covery ot the arms from the other arsenals. The forces were next concentrated at the California Exchange, corner of Clay and Kearny streets, where there were about 160 Law and Order men gathered, with arms in hand, but were unable to get out in conse quence of the presence of a stronger force without. The Committee and army took possession ot Clay and Kearny streets for a distance of about one block, and in front of the building they planted two pieces of very saucy looking cannon, which were manned by men who knew how to use them. When the forces were ull properly stationed to make un assault in case of necessity, Col. Doane and a delegation of the Executives made a demand of Col. J. 11. West, who wus in command, of the arms, ammunition and all the accoutrements in the armory. The contracting parties held a long inter view, and the Law and Order men were very reluctant in coining to terms ; but finally, at about G o’clock, or forty-live minutes after the surrender of the other place, Col. West ordered his men to march up to the door, and one ut a time, to hand over his arms arid equipments ; and the Committee caused them to lie loaded into wagons and taken to the Rooms. From this place they recived about 160 stand of excellent lilies and muskets. After ten o'clock t he prisoners or war were ail removed to the Committee Rooms. Seventeen were taken from the the place where Terry was arrested, and among them were Dr. Ashe, H. Rowieuud Ma rtin licese. Seventy-two more were taken from the Cali fornia Exchange and some four other places. They were marched down, surrounded by 1,000 armed soldiers uud loo horsemen.— This is probably the lust of “Law and Order” iu San Francisco. As soon us Mr. Hopkins received the blow, he ran down the street with Terry’s musket iu his hand, which he had wrenched from him, and said, “I am stabbed.” His friends conducted him to the engine house ot Pennsylvania Company So. 12, where lie received the medical attention of Drs. Rev erly Cole, R. A. Sheldon, L. D. Sheldon, J. Rowell and others. Upon examination, the wound was found to have been made with a blade about one inch and a half broad, which entered the buck portion of the neck,’ to the left of the center, uml passed down wards and forwurds to the left of the eurvi cal vertebra. The depth of the wound is about four inches, and some important arte ries are probably severed, as the patient bled most profusely. We are most huppy to state that at 10 o’clock there was good grounds for hoping that lie would recover. ])r, Cole has just performed a surgical ope ration of tukiug up the artery injured, and the patient nppeurs much better than he was a few hours before. He is able to con verse, and can move himself freely iu the bed. Mu. Hoi* kins anii Family.- -Mr. Hop kins is a native of Ellsworth, Maine, uud is 38 yeurs old. He eume to California from where he lived a long time, iu 1«49, and lias since then resided in this city. He has a wife, who is by his side but no chil dren. Mr. Hopkins has been very active in the Committee since its organization, and has always taken a conspicuous position in places of danger. The Committee hare not a member more zealous for its success or willing to risk more for its achievements, than Mr. Hop kins. The duty assigned him yesterday, and which he fell in executing, shows the confidence they had in him, and the respon sibility he was willing to assume. He has a mother, brother and sister, in this city, all of whom are contributing to his wants. Mr. Hopkins has fallen in the service of the people of this State, and they will take good cure that he be properly provided with all that skill can suggest, attention bestow, or wealth purchase. Write Home. We take the subjoined remarks and letter from the Humboldt Timet. As instances of neglect of this kind are much too frequent in all California communities, we publish it with the hope that its j»crusal may have the effect of arousing to a sense of duty at least one of the many, who are guilty of thus neglecting those to whom they are so near and dear. W bite Home, or Qo Home.— Men who have been in this State since 184‘J or 1850, should conclude to remain here or return at once to their friends, whether they have ac complished their object or not. It is high time for such to seek a home either here or in the East, or they will loose all attach ment for u home, and become restless, wan dering and prehaps desjierate men. It is wrong to remain unsettled longer. Locate here and gather about you the comforts of civilization, and write to inform your rela tives of your purpose and prosjiects, or re turn to the home you have left and restore joy, by your presence, to those whom you have deluded, during many years, with a false hope for your sjieedy return. Hut if you are not prepared to settle per manently in this State, and are unavoidably prevented from an immediate return, write to your friends. This is tha least you can do. It is criminal negligence to allow your absent wives, fathers, or mothers, to remain in ignorance concerning you, and be perpet ually tortured with anxiety regarding your welfare. We are led to these reflections from the receipt, by the last mail, of the following note from a father in Wisconsin, which we take the liberty to publish—leaving the names blank—for the benefit of the class we have mentioned. It requires no further comment. The son, in reference to whom the inqui ry is made, has been in this section for some time, and his principal offence must be the one complained of by the old gentleman— a negligence about writing home ; but he has done more than hundreds of others— lie sends a regular paper. April 23d, 1856. Messrs. Van- Dyke A Wii.ey : — Dear Sirs: —I am sure you will pardon the liber ty I fake in addressing a ilne of inquiry to you, and also to the l'ost Master of your town, when 1 inform you that I have not received a letter from my beloved son in the last twelve months, and consequently great ly fear that he is dead. Your interesting paper still comes to me regularly, and from that alone I infer that he may possibly be alive. When he wrote last year, he promisee to leave in October, certainly for home, but he has not yet come, nor have I heard from him. Allow me to presume so much on your goodness as to ask the favor of you to make dilligent inquiry of the Host Master, and others, about him, and whether dead or alive inform me without delay. A few days more and I shall be seventy years of age ; I have a most ardent and consuming dsire to see my dear son once more before 1 die. lie was indeed the light of ,my eyes, the soul of my life, and joy of my heart ; and I do not feel that 1 could resign myself to the cold embrace of death' without lirst embracing him. It cannot be that a child who was all softl, affection, and goodness, can now be alienated from all once most dear to him on earth 1 lie has been now six years in California i —has promised ugain and again to come home. Hlease write me, or put a line in your paper by way of response to this letter. -♦St- Let it he Settled.— We reiterate our declaration that this controversy between the Vigilance Committee and the Stats authorities has gone too far to be settled by an appeal to arms. Hatties and butcheries never yet settled satisfactorily any dispute between nations, or parts of the same na tion of people. The best time for settling all domestic controversies is before a serious blow is struck. Now is the time to termi nate this Han Francisco uffair, honorably and satisfactorily to all parties, through the medium of negotiation. The life of Judge Terry, conceived to be in danger if Hopkins dies, could have been secured, had the au thorities and his friends moved at the right moment. '1 here is not a shadow of a hope that he could lie saved by force ; the only real hope lays in negotiation, this we fear has been too long delayed. The morning utter his arrest the first important step ought to have been taken. It may not yet be too late for the authorities to move in this matter ; if it is not, they should be moving now. This whole difficulty cau lie compromised iu two days, if taken hold of by the right kind of men, and the pride of opinion of those in power does not present insurmountable ob stacles.— Sac. Union. — Extraordinary Mammoth Remains.— The last number of the Sonora Herald mentions having seen portions of the remains of a Mammoth, differing entirely from any oui uiul known to exist ut the present day.— lhey were taken out of Table Mountain, one hundred feet beneath the surface of the earth, and consist of the portion of a tusk originally over four feet iu length, hoofs and other bones of corresponding size in a e)onging to either of the others, except in the cases hereinaf ter expressly directed or permitted.” Before the issuing of the Governor’s proclama tion, Judge Terry issued a writ of habeas corpus for some person in the custody of the Committee, and the Deputy Sheriff of San Francisco Co. was refused admittance to the Committee Uooujs to serve the writ. The Governor then declared by proclamation the County of San Francisco to he in a state of insurrection, and called upon the militia of about ODc-half of the State to quell said insurrection. Was Judge Terry effected by the proclamation, either personally or officially ? Could he be compelled to boar arms under the call ot the Executive, to put down an insurrection in any part of the State, as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court ? Did not his duty as Judge in regard to the insurrection cease the moment the writ of habeas corpus w as issued ? Let the reader answer these questions. Judge Terry's duties require his personal atten tion at Sacramento and not at San Francisco, and had he been attending to the duties assigned him by the Constitution of the State, and the elective franchise of tiie people, instead of using a deadly weapon in defense of Keub. Malony, he would have been spared his present unpleasant predica ment, and the Committee ol performing an act not of their own seeking, The arrest of Judge Terry has not been caused by any official act on his part, but the commission of an illegal and un official act in the defending or rather attempting to prevent the Committee from arresting a man that he had no legal authority over. Is it the law of the land for the Judges of the Supreme Court to deliver their opinions with double-barreled shot guns, bowie-knives and pistols, or iu writing us prescribed by law ? The latter seems to be more in consonance with truth and justice, and an en lightened Government. This act of the Judge has completely blocked the wheels of one of the three departments of our State government. Judge lleydeufelt iH ab sent from the State, on leave of the Legislature, and no quorum left to attend to the business be fore the Supreme Court. This is deeply to be re gretted by every one interested iu the welfare of the State. It is to be regretted by all, for Judge Terry is a man that has enjoyed the confidence of the whole community, for his strict integrity and legal learning. But when blind rashness takes the place of reason, results w ill he produced that must be asourev of universal commisserutiou. Charity forces us to attribute this act of the Judge to rashness, rather than a design to do an intention" al wrong. Personal. lion. J. Montgomery l’eters arrived in town on Thursday lust, from Orleans liar.K Uinutli Comity, where he hus been holdiflg a term of his Court.— The Judge was engaged yesterday in holding Court for Judge Pitzer, in the case of Weeks, et. al. vs. Ludwig, et. ul. in which Judge P. was in terested. lie will leave in the course of a day or two for Yreka. Hon. Wm. 1’. Dungerfield arrived here yester day from Shasta, for the purpose of trying the case above referred to. It was somewhat doubt ful whether Judge It. would be here or not, and Judge I’eters kindly consented to try the case. This visit lias given Judge Dungerfield another opportunity of meeting his numerous friends in this County, which we hope will be satisfactory. No man enjoys a better reputation in this commu nity than Judge Dangerlield. Mr. Campbell's Benefit. Thin evening Mr. Campbell will take a Benefit ! at the Weaverville Theater. Two new pieces, j never before performed in this place, will be pro- j duced, with the entire strength of the Company. | “The Hake’s Progress,” with Estelle Potter as Fanny Moreland, and the Farce of “ Poor Pilli coddy,” Campbell as “ Pilllcoddy,” with Singing and Dancing by Miu Annie Smith and Miss Liz zie Burbank make tip the bill. We bespeak a good house on this occasion, fol no one attached to Mr. Thoman’s Company has endeavored to please the public more than Mr. C. ami with all he is a clever actor and a lirst-rate fellow, lie has been with us for six months and has won the respect of all who know him.— Let the house be filled. Affray on Salmon Biver.—One Man Killed. We uro informed by a gentleman who arrived here on Thursday last from Orleans Bar, that a difficulty occurred near BestviHe, on the Salmon river, one day lust week, in which one man was shot. It appears that a party of Chinamen were occupying a mining claim on the North Salmon river, and a company of Irishmuu drove them off- The Chinamen brought suit in a Justice’s Court for the claims, and obtained judgment ami a writ of restitution, and were pluccd in possession by a Constable without any resistance on the part of the Defts. After the offictsr left, the Defendants again drove the Chinamen from their claims..— The Justice and u posse of men went to the place for the purpose of righting the Chinamen, and when they arrived near the claims one of the De fendants drew a pistol on the Justice. The Jus tice und several of his party drew their pistols and tired, killing him instantly. The Prisoners Fehley and Wise. Jolm Fehley ami John Wise were convicted at the May Term of the District Court, for this Coun ty of murder, und sentenced to be executed <>n the 10th of July. Appeuls were taken to the Su preme Court in each case, and a slay of judgment has been received in the case of Fehley, so that he slunds a good chance of living some time be fore his case can be heard before the Supreme Court. The Supersedeas has not been received in Wise’s case, yet, but it will probably reach here before the day of execution. Judge lleydenfelt is absent from the State, and Judge Terry in the hands of the Vigilance Com mittee, which leaves but one out of the three Judges.tu act, and it requires the concurrence of two to render a judgment, thus it appears that we shall not have a July Term of this Court, and no thing can be done till the October Term, Fob interesting miscellaneous matter see fourth page. £. 0.
