Th. exciternent is intense; much greater’
Mr. Kuve is not as well as yesterday,
and thors there is still hope His case is
extrciuely critical.
The Military have all left the jail and
refused to defend it any longer. The
Sheriff is conveying a large number of
guns to the jail and must now depend on
his own posse for aid, ee
The grand cry is “Let the city bé purified!” “ Gamblers must-an@ shall be:
driven from our midst !” Let the friends’
of Cora and Casey take warning and leave
the city and other villains may look to
themselves, for they are known.
There must now be at Ieast 4000 men
on the lists of the Vigilence Committee,
and a deputation of their number is kept
posted about the jail to see that Casey
will not escape in disguise.
Governor Johnson has gone down cn
the boat to-day, and a call has been made
from the. Vigilence Committee of San
Francisco for 500 to go down from this
city and they will be furnished.
The San Francisco Herald which in its
editorial of yesterday. so nearly sustained
Casey in the act of attempted assassination of Mr. Kixe that its position is by
no means equivocal, comes out to-day in
half its usual size, as its advertisements
and patronage are nearly all withdrawn,
An immense meeting. was held last
night in front of the Orleans Hotel, at
which Mr. Winans delivered a most thrilling speech, and resolutions were adopted
expressive of deep sympathy for Mr. King
and expressing the feeling of the meeting
in regard to the fiendish act of Casey, and
the state of the public interests generally
Maj. Bowie presided and the deepest interest was evinced.
Hopes were entertained for Mr. King’s
life till a few hours ago, but to save him
an artery cut by the ball in passing thro’
his body must be taken up and it is extremely doubtful if he can survive the operation.
His recovery would tend much to allay
excitement but in the event of his death

The following was received via Benccia.
The steamer Columbia just arrived at Benecia, which left San Francisco this morning at 6 o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon W. T, Coleman, of
the Vigilance Committe, at the head of 2,500 men armed with muskets, marched to
the prison and demanded Casey and Cora,
The Sheriff seeing it useless to resist, delivered them over immediately.

Woman Frozen to Deatn.—=On May
7th the dead body of a woman, who had
evidently perished from cold and exposure,
was found in a snow-drift about five miles
from Weaverville. The discovery was
made by means of a dog who had aroused
Mr. Dredge, a settler, by his moaning and
whining in the middle of the night. Mr.
redge, surprised and alarmed at the ocourrence, rose and dressed himself and admitted the animnl to his house. The dog
made such strange signs, that Mr. Dredge .
was persuaded to accompany it up the
precipitous side of the mountain, where
the body was found. The dog then ferreted out a bundle of clothing that lay by the
side of the body, and there nestled a child
about two years old, warm and alive. The
body of the woman was nearly naked. It
was evident that she had stripped herself
to provide sufficient warm elothing for her
child. The sagacity and attachment of
the dog to theeufferers is very remarkable.
Mr. Dredge has adopted both the child
and its canine savior. The body of the
woman was decently interred. [t is not
yet known what was the name of the woman.—Budletin, 13th.

Murray, in company with three friends,
went about sunset yesterday, to the store
of Hill, Clark & Co., on the levee—inquired for Mr. Hill, and on that gentleman answering, Judge Murray asked him
ifhe had made certain Temarks, naming
them, derogatory to his (Murray’s) character, Mr. Hill answered thathe did not
remember exactly what he said. J udge
Muaray then repeated the remarks, and
asked him if he said so. Mr. Hill answered as before; whereupon Judge Murray
took hold of him by the collar, raised his
cain and strack him on the head, immeinflicting an il-looking, but uot dangerous
in his office door, and on the blow
Judge Murray then left, and so it ended. —

Total indifference to the country abandoned is positive proof of the loss of the noblest characteristic’ of humanity itself—the
activity of human affections. “The piilosophy of the mind indicates unmistakeably
the danger of weakening nationality by in¢
fusing a large proportion of foreign element into the population of native citi:

The history, of every government shows
the high estimation placed upon citizenship,

Charles Napier the representation of Southwark, and Citizen Pyat aspiring to become
the colleague of Mr. Hayter for the borough of Wells. Thus it comes to pass
that adventurers of every description—
French Socialists and J acobins, [talian Red

by Austrian or Russian tyranny, refugees
from every country in Europe, and adventurers, pirates and filibusters from every
country in the world, and last, though not
least, united Irishmen, orange men and
Catholic devotees, all find themselves received into the governing class, and treated as if they possessed sympathy for the
interests and an honest wish for the dignity and prosperity of the great Republic.
But, in the votes that they give, the speeches they deliver, and the parties they form,
these men are really thinking, not of the
country, they have adopted, but of the land
they have left ; not how to benefit their
friends in America, but how to avenge
themselves on their enemies in Europe.
The German brings his mysticisni and
his infidelity—the Frenchman his socialism and Red Republicanism,—the Catholic
Irishman, his hatred of Protestantism, and
his hostility to England—all, theit peculiar prejudices and desires for revenge,
