The Executive Committee it composed of about forty, mehtlers t ,bisides two, secreta ries. The president of flit . , &l l y is nu derstood to he Wm. T. Coleman, EN., a merchant o f high and honorable standing here and elsewhere. The others are taken from all classes and conditions of men— merchants, doctors, lanyerd, ship-carpenters, &c ,—perbaps two-thirls Of the whole are composed of mercantile jobbing houses of our city. There are two dr ' three French and Germans in the executive body. The General Comtnittee is composed of about 6,000 members, whose names, resi dower and places of business; are-'duly en-- rolled, and signed to the constitution. The committee is divided into about, 85 divisions or companies—three of cavalry, two of ar tillery, and the remainder of infantry.— These are commanded by proper officers, and are weekly drilled, and each company I take their turns for guard and garrison du : . ty. The whole is divided into battalions, and duly commanded by a Grand Marshal, his aids, Ate. In fact it is one grand army, composed of our best'and most highly es teemed citizens. There are about 100 mon constantly on duty, day and night, in and about the gar rison, without pay, fee or reward ; all vol untary ; four boure off and on during the 124 hours—one eompany, on during the day, another at night. The police is governed by a captain and biz aids, all under pay.— Rations aro fdrnished to all' on duty in the partition : The executive committee is sib divided into committees, who have their teerotaries. The latter on are paid.— There is also the "Commissary Department," "Quartermaster's" office, &c The armory and 16*ga - sines are all id pet-, feet order, and every thing is ready for ao tion.' The moment the alarm , bell is pound cd—two taps of the cotimittee boll would in 80 minutes, call out ten theusaud men, night or day, half of the nuinber armed and equipped, "as the law direets." I should have stated previously that the , various sub-committees are "designated .asl follows :—Evidence Committee, Qualifica tion Committee, Investigating Committee, Military Cotnmittee, Prisoh Committee, Finance Committee. ' • The expenses of the,General Committee are all paid by, vuluntary contributions by our citizens. The total and entire expen sea up to this time probably exceed 640,000. The present expensortif rent;;cieri hire, &c., probublyitt thulaunnont.do not exceed fire hundred dollars per day, , though,they bave,run up _ to. $7OO . veryfliin g done on the cash system.

Barracks for 150 ,men, (relief guard) ,with, blankets and matresses,,euttlene quarters, &o. The establishment is even provided with horses', everything ready and on the pretti ises fora campaign. To' Show the true feeling of the people, .I have seen frequently men on duty, with their white locks,. over 60, and others 65 and 67 years of age.-,-r Probably a score of theao old gentlemen do guard duty night and' day;' watch' their posts, in or out'of doors, or wherever duty wills, and these too are ,men ,ocoupying Abe high and honorable calling of merchants, mechanics, &o. These men shoulder the' musket, and drill as good us soldiers, attend the reviews, &e. 1 have said previously that there were clergymen in the committee, probably 20 in number, mostly Methodists, but a few of other denominations. In nearly ail of our churches (Protestant), pastors have spoken and preached approvingly of the committee and their acts. I may enumerate the Right Rev. Bishop Kip, of the Episcopal, Church ; Rev. Messrs. Brine and Themes' of the Methodist churches, Rev. Mr. Cutler of the Unitarian, Rev. Mr. Willy of the N. School Presbyterian, Rev. Mr. Lacy of the Congregational, and Rev. Dr. Aoderdbn= of the Presbyterian Old School, and many others whose Dame, 1 do, not now recollect. The Rev. Dr. BCiitt, I believe,' Lithe cleigy man who has refrained 'fiput - illuditig to the subject in bis . pulpit.: ' Ile isilowevei, not friendly to the, ants , of the committee, and, the riders and i trustees of . Calvary Church - ,made a formal request that he should not bring the matter before the eon'. gregatioti-- , but simply preach Christ' and Rim crucified to his hearen„ I .have •no doubt that bad Dr, Scott been in the city at the time of the organization of ,the com mittee 'he would have spoken oat boldly against it. At all events, the laW and or der , men claim him as their friend and ad vocate. ' In regard to the public press of this city, all are in favor and strongly enders* the acts of the committee, save except the Sun and Herald, whose circulation combined is not, probably, more than iwo•thirds of that of the Lkilletin, while the Alta, Chronicle, True Californian, Town Talk, Globe, and some three French pitpers, and all dailies, fully endorie the committee.
