Conversely the Union of the 9th, we learn that
on that day the Senate occupied in the consdera-
ton of the bill providing for the adjustment of sus-
pended presumption claims. An animated and nte-
resting discussion took place. The BILL after having
been reported from the committee of the whole, with
several amendments. was recommitted.
The House took final action on the bill to supply
deficiencies in certain appropriations for the current
fiscal year, which has for a long time been pending
between the two houses. 1t must yet again be SUBJ
mitted to the action of the Senate.
The House then took up in committee the bill
making appropriation for the Post Office Department
The committee adopted the amendment of Mr.
Mckay, appropriating $4,000 for the line of mail
steamers from New York to Bremen-thus confirm
ing to this extent, the Post Office contract The bill

Mail CoNTRAcTs.-The Union Of the 9th states
that the Postmaster General had been employed dur
ing several preceding days, Gin opening the bids for
carrying the mails in the western section for which
the contracts come round this year. The number of
offers is very great We understand the bids amount
to about $4,000 In the State of Arkansas alone
there are between 60 and 70 routes, and more than
100 bids were made We understand, further, that
the saving to the department under these bids will be
from 30 to 40 per cent And it is hoped that in
sequence of the reductions in the of transporting
the mail, and in addition to this, if the postage law
be SO changed, that letters which the five cents
postage is paid be reduced from half an ounce to
quarter Of ounce it may come to pass at no distant
time, that the department may be able to pay Its own
expenses without drawing for additional resources
upon the general treasury"

General Orders No. 1.
GEN. TAYLOR, commanding the U. S. Army Of
Occupation the frontier of Mexico, has announced
to the COmmander-in-Chief that hostities have COM
menced between his forces and those of the Mexcans
and under the authority of the General Government
has called upon the State of Louisiana furnish four
Regiments of Infantry, to Join his army.
The General, in concluding his requisition, says
cannot doubt that the gallant State of Louisiana
will resp md with alacry to this call upon the pari-
otsm of her sons"
The State of Louisiana has never hesitated at any
call her patriotism spirit, and is now as she
has been, ready devote her energies and her
blood for our common country and the honor OF Its
arms.
Assured that the call now made will be responded
to by the citizen soldiers of the State without resorng
to draft Four Regiments of Volunteers will be re-
ceived and mustered into the service of the United
States for the term Of six MONTHS unless dis
charged. and as fast any requirement or company
Is organized for the purpose Its commanding officer
will report to the Adutant General at the State House
in Canal street.
Each regiment will consist Of
Colonel; Quarter Master;
l Leutenant-Colonel; l Surgeon;
l Major; l Assistant Surgeon;
i Adjutant;
And ten composed, each, as follows
Captain; Sergeants;
First Lieutenant; Corporals;
l Second Lieutenant; 9 Musicians.
And at least 80 privates. 1t is desirable that the
Companies should be each 100 strong.
The Legislature, animated by the universal feeling
of patriotism and zeal, have already passed bill
which has been signed by the Governor and become
law, making appropriations to aid the equipping
the forces, and the Staff Department Of the U. S

Wit The Louisville "Courier," Nativist pa
per of the real "Tusenuggee school, makes the fol-
lowing rity allusion to the speech of Senator Han
negan at the recent celebration of ST. Patrick's Day
at Washington:
''Mr. Senator O'Hannegan of Indiana, made a
speech to the Irish, ST. Patrick's day, in Washing
ton. He told them that his daddy Irishman,
and that he had some of his daddy's blood in his
veins-that he had often the old display
his Shamrock so green,'' on the ever memorable
18th of March, and of course that he couldn't help
being Irshman in feeling well as by descent"
All may safely swear after that, that there is no
Irish blood in the "Courier's veins, however much
Indian there may be. For the sake of relief
his duness, we should advise the editor to borroU
drop from some Irishman, if he can find one good
natured enough to accommodate him.

"THE SECRET SERVICE FUND.-We learn that
President Tyler has written letter to the committee
of Congress, in which he alleges that Mr.. Webster
applied any of the service fund without
consulting him, and receiving his entire sanction
that part applied without proper consideration,
and that he, and not Mr. Webster, is wholly respon-
sible for its application in all cases.
The Union says, on the authority Of the chairman
of the investigating committee, that there is truth
in the above statement.

CALToRNIA.-The New Orleans papers contain
late in relation to California, from which we
derive the following interesting facts. The gallant
and adventurous Capt Fremont reached Captain SUIT
ter's settlement at New Helvetia about the LIST Feb
last, with force of about sixty mounted men, Capt
Fremont had been so fortunate as to discover a new
route pass, by which California be reached by
emigrants in sixty days less time than by the old
route ria Oregon. This new route is perfectly prac-
tcable for wheeled vehicles, and when it to be
generally known will give renewed impetus to emf
grafton to California Previous reports in relation
the state of affairs in California are confirmed. Il is
stated that allegiance to the central government of
Mexico is almost entirely thrown off. Since the
pulsion of Gov. Mcheorena, the functions of chief
magistrate have been discharged by Don Pho Pico,
Californian by birth, we believe who holds his Office
by some indefinite but popular tenure. The famous
Mexican expedition TO reduce the department to ODE
dience has not reached California 1t is supposed
that it is not now in the power of Mexico to impose
Governor upon California that should one be sent
there, he would be almost Immediately expelled. Still
the Californians distracted by discussions among
themselves, and stability under any rule or any form
of government, is not to be counted upon among
them. There is a strong tide of emigration pouring
in from the States by way of Oregon.

Military Preparations.

The most intense excitement prevailed in New Or
leans. The Governor and his staff were engaged in
forming the nuclues of the proposed military organ-
zaton rendezvous for the enlistment of volunteers
from each of which the national flag waved-had
been formed in every street and corner; business
altogether suspended-and all ardor, enthusiasm
and excitement.
The Louisiana Legislature, on the I'd inst adopted
BY ACCLAMATION, bill for raising FOUR RE-
GIBIENTS OF VOLUNTEERS, to join the Army
in Texas, and making appropriation of 100000,
for equpping, transporting, and paying them!
The position of Gen. Taylor is a strong one, and
capable of being defended against greatly superior
force; but he may be cut off from his supplies unless
reinforced. The Texas troops will soon be on the
spot, ready to give good account of themselves.
On Friday, May LIST, the Galveston fell in with the
steam schooner Augusta, Capt Gillett, from the
Brassos St. Iago, boarded her, and brought TO New
Orleans Col. Dome, bearer of important dispatches
from Gen. Taylor, and requisition for troops

MIcHreAN.-The bill providing for the sale of the
Southern railroad has finally passed both branches Of
the Legislature, and only awaits the signature of the
Governor to become law. The price to be paid is
half million, and the sale contingent upon the sale
of the Central Railroad, and does not go into effect
until that road has passed from the State into the
hands of a company.
