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. Bills are paid off dais

(evdy 'Saturday.) "'rho garrison in all
respects,in good military order. 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. So also do
all the weeklies, not excepting the Christian
Advoeate,•the organ of the Methodists, and
the ".Pacific" (new school.) The press
throughout the State,_ and so also of the
large majority of the *Wiens of the supra
,
State, are "vigilautea,". And in Can
. 0 //eed
,The writer says that party. polities has
nothing to lb with the organization, and
that leading members buys beet( compelled
to Withdraw, ; in consequence of having
broached du subject of party. He states,
however, •,thitt the strongest opponents
of the tommittee are the southern demo
crats, This would seem to leave the infer
ence that the subject of gaiety was in some
Way, involved, but the correspondent says
the object of ' the committee is to rid the
city and State of the murderers, rowdies
and ballot.box stuffers.

.wile west of Millerstown, killing instantly
the engineer Mr. Moses Adams, of Oakland,

Bennett, fireman, of that place. The cause!
of the explosion, we understand, was, the
safety valve having been screwed down tea
tightly. The engineer had part of his bead,
blown off and his body was othernise mutat
mutilated. Mr. Bennett'a legs were both
broken and horribly mashed and he mural
so injured in the head. At the explosion.
the 'engine was separated from the tank, lit.
