Judge David S. Terry

Judge David S. Terry arrived in this city last evening, after spending only two days at his brother's plantation on Oyster Creek, on his way from California. We are glad to see that the Judge is in remarkably fine health, notwithstanding his fatiguing journey overland, and all the political troubles he has had to encounter in California. He left San Francisco on the 6th of February, in company with young Mr. Tod Robinson, Jr. (whose father, Judge Tod Robinson, is so well known in Texas) also, Mr. Duncan Beaumont, formerly of Port Lavaca, and two others, and sailed direct to Mazatlan (not to the Sandwich Islands, as stated by the Telegraph) and thence the party came all the way overland to Texas, being near two and a half months on the journey. The party had of course to make their exit from San Francisco somewhat clandestinely, on account of the violence against them for their secession proclivities.

The Democratic party has for some time been on the increase in California, and will doubtless be able to carry the next elections over the Unionists, thought he latter have heretofore been greatly in the ascendancy. The Democrats are there called the Peace Party. The Unionists are really divided into two parties, the one called the Unconditional Union or Black Republican party, and the other the Union Democratic party. An attempt is now being made to unite the latter with the Democratic party in the next election, and the defeat of the Black Republicans depends much upon the coalition of the Democratic and Union Democratic vote.

Judge Terry, we learn, proceeds direct to Richmond, Va.
