TIE CALiFoRx1A VoLrsIEERs.-W'e scarcely
know wha. to make OF his California business. We
viii venture TO bring grave accusations without full
and exptc. proof: but the affair looks at preat =er
suspicious 1, Is tue that The public proceedings aans,

Developments. In fact ne grand a-eup las already

the were all drawn up Friday for The purpose Of
receiving their bounty money Company was ar=t
marched out and duly paid ssi per man by the Pay
master They found however HAT this not exactly

room where bill of So for Clothing presented 10

TO pay the so Clohng-bil. and were sent bac.

also unanimously refused but instead of putting them
under guard he told them that they disbanded-a
thing winch Col. Stevenson has probably right to
make true.
The outstanding men have offered TO have single
case tried by Jury, and that the decision whatever 1t
may be- al the others viii accept and abide by. This
however. has been declined. One Of the Volunteers
writing 10 US this subject says; 1T remains TO be
whether the Paymaser will pay of the men as he
OF right ought TO DO whether he Will await the result

Thus stands the far the statement OF the
Soldiers is concerned As yet Col Stevenson has taken
public notice OF these charges and statements but
We think him now imperatiyely bound TO do so. The
Commander OF mportAn, Military Expedition got up
by the Government of the United States attempting to

Saturday afternoon the steamboat Proprietor having
board some twenty men, went over to Jersey City
and made ncn to take possession of the Iods "

Thomas BELLY, VINO commanded the expedition. was ar

Mr.. BELLY purchased the lolns some time ago from
Mesrs. Woolsey of Jersey City, The original owners

$4,000 Dspudne their right to maintain actual pos
session OF the DO under the mortgage, he made this
attempt obtain control OF her. Such is the only ac
