The interior portions of the State. wherever connected with San Francisco by the telegraph, were thrown into an uxusual state of -excitement on Saturday afternoon last, by a brief dispatch, which was flashed across the wires to the effect that Judge Terry, one of Justices of the Supreme Court, had stabbed a Vigilance Committee man in San Francisco. . and that the entire bedy of the Committee IR bad heen called to arms.

At this . time a pistol was discharged which. produced a little confusion, and Judge Terry and his party escaped to the armory. As soon as the unfortunate blow was struck by Terry, word was conveyed to the Committee Rooms, and the alarm was sounded. Thousands at once obeyed the summons, and in less than fifteen minutes the armory of the Blues was surroundéd by armed nien. The streets in every direction glistened with bayonets, hurrying foot and horsemen. Judge Terry, as soon as he saw.the overwhelming force brought against him surrendered, and was taken to the Committee Rooms, where he is now closely confined. The Vigilantes, after securing Terry andhis party, turned their attention to the other armories of the Law and Order party, all of which were secured, with their arms and ammunition, together with about 75 soldiers, all but five of’ whom have since been released. Two vessels, with arms on board for the Law and Order party, have been overhauled in the Bay, and the arms taken from them. From one of the vessels twelve cases of Sharp’s rifles were taken. J. L. Durkee, who commanded one of the parties overhauling the vessels, has been arrested by the U.S. Marshal on the charge of piracy. He has not yet had his examination. $100.000 bail has been offered and refused. The sloop-of-war John Adams has been anchored off Clay st. wharf, in a somewhat threatening position. No alarm, however, need be felt at this move, as she of course wili only act in case of a resistance to U. S. Officers. No such resistance will be offered by the Committee. Durkee will take his trial regularly, and abide the result. There is very little danger, however, of modern chivalry. He has repeatedly been . known to take the law into his own hands. . His brutal assault upon Evans, in Stockton, without the least provocation, is fresh in'the minds of many. He accompanied Dr. Ashe: on his nocturnal bullying excursion in Stock: ton, for which offence he (Ashe) was indicted . by the Grand Jury. and through a frivolous flaw in the indictment got clear. This same Law and Order man, Chief Justice Terry, (!) inflicted a dangerous wound with a bowieknife on an unarmed witness, in the District Court, in the presence of Judge Creanor.— For this murderous assault he was compelled to pay—one dollar! On another occasion he committed an assault upon J. H. Purdy, edtor of the Pacific Statesman, for which he was fined $300! These are some of the eccentricities of which this pillar of Law and Order has been guilty previous to his last-crowning attempt at stabbing in the streets of San Francisco on Saturday last. 28> This, reader, is the individual who has been elevated by ballot-box stuffers and rowdies toa seat on the Supreme Bench of California, from which he has now graduated to a felon’s cellin the Vigilance Committee Rooms of San Francisco! ‘How do you like the picture ?”’ I, Joun McDovuGat, Ex-Governor of California, another prominant Law and Order man, has seen fit to take a sudden departure from the State, for what cause we know not, but have good reason to infer from the fact of his intimacy with some of the expatriated bullies and rowdies, that he might possibly have some fear of the personal attentions of the Vigilance Committee before his eyes. Atall events the fact of his fraternizing with the notorious Duane, who was placed by the Committee on the same boat with him, is enough to affix to his name a stigma of everlasting disgrace. He, it will be recollected, is the Governor who interposed his executive cleof a conviction. The whole matter of this ar. mency to save Duane, from the State Prison rest will end in smoke.

There is probably no other country in the world where wild flowers abound to such an extent as in California— ‘Everywhere about us are they growing.’’ They spangle the plain and meadow—they open under the leafy canopy of our ma gnificent forests—they brave the winds that sweep o’er our rugged mountain heights—they bask in every tiny nook and recess—they show themselves amid the miner’s upturned works and beautify with their ever-varying presence each fissure in ourold gray rocks. ‘Call them not weeds,”’ they are bright and blooming ornaments, freely showered around us by the hand of God himself.
