The CALIFORNIA MAILs.-We find the fol
lowing in the letter of the goth of exp the cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun:
complaint appears to have arisen in regard to
the non-arrival of newspapers at San Francisco
or the great irregularity connected herewith and
it was limited that the Postmaster General should
stir up the mail agents on that route. have been
offered the following perfectly satisfactory explana-
ton by John Workman, Esq, of the United States
mail service, which hasten to communicate:
There is semi monthly mail from New York
to Panama, but only monthly mail from Panama
to San Francisco. The consequence is that the
mail which leaves New York on the 2Sth of each
month is detained at Panama until the first of the
following month, the day on which the mail steamer
leaves that place for San Francisco.
The company are not obliged to carry the mail
on their steamer, leaving Panama about the middle
OF each month but they carry the letter bag out
of courtesy to the citizens of California leaving the
whole Of the newspaper mail for California behind
at Panama, together with all the mails for the inter-
mediate ports Of Acapulco, San Bias, San Diego,
Magellan and Monterey. Hence the non-receipt
at San Francisco Of newspapers at the same time
with letters of the dates, for which the mail
agent can certainly not be held accountable But
the whole practice of the company certainly looks
toward forcing Uncle Sam into a more advanta-
geous contract to the company. Let US get the
Tehuantepec route ready by all means SO as to put
an end to the Panama monopoly.
As there shall be several bids for the
mail service in the Pacific, the public and the gov
eminent will be better served and at less expense
No new Post-ofilee contract ought to be given GU
till there are several competitors.

CAL1FoRNIA-Ihe Compromise. position
of President Taylor in regard to the "great ques-
tion, is thus explicitly stated in the Washington
Republic of late date;
The admission of California into the Union as a
sovereign State and the to be pursued as to
New Mexico and U tab, more than any other meas
ures, now occupy the time of Congress and the at
tention of the public.
Pursuant to the provision of the Constitution
which requires the President from time to time to
recommend to Congress such measures as he may
deem necessary and expedient, he, in his message
OF the @lst OF January last, recommended the-ad-
mission OF California into the Union as a separate
and independent measure, leaving the residue of our
newly acquired Territories subject to existing laws
TIL they should respectively form State govern
ments and apply for admission also.
1t could not be expected that all parties, in all
sections OF the country should unite this or any
other measure touching the subject yet the Pres-
dents recommendation was at once received with
favor by large proportion of the people, and is, it
is believed, still generally acceptable to them.
But a difference OF opinion as to the true line of
policy on kindred measures and difference also as
to the mode of carrying out the affirmative measure
recommended by the President, and which is very
generally admitted to be expedient and right have
caused it to linger in the two houses of Congress-
and it has yet received the action of neither The
President, however, performed his duty, as to the
measure, in recommending it early to the considera-
ton of Congress. But an impression seems to have
got abroad, that he now waivers, has wavered,
in his opinion on this subject This, we are well
advised is unfounded in fact. He remains, and it
is proper the public should understand that he re-
mains, firm in the opinion that the course of policy
which he recommended was, and is, under all the
circumstances, the best practicable and that he has
never for moment changed or modified that
opinion. The misapprehension on this subject, so
far it exists, ought to be corrected so that the
Presidents official recommendation may not, in
effect, be withdrawn, or modified for him, without
his authority

FROM FLoRIDA.-The Savannah Georgian Of
the 23d, says: We have conversed with gentle
man just from Tampa. who informs US that there
il no prospect Of the removal of the Indians. Gen
Twiggs has recently had an interview with Billy
bowlegs, who told him positively that he would
not remove and that il it was not satisac tory to
the whites, the Indians would go into the swarnps,
and if they wanted them they must be hunted up.
The number ofwarriors is estimated by General
1wlggs at ninety-seven, although others estimate
the number much greater. A new delegation Of
Arkansas Indians have gone down in the nation,
but there are no hopes of inducing Bowlegs to
.emierate.n

was rising there at the date above.
The Point Coupee Echo Of the 10Th says, that
at that point the river has been nearly stationary
for three weeks. It has rendered the new road i'm
passable.
The Baton Rouge Gazette of the 25th, learns
from gentleman recently from that district Of the
State, that the Tensas and ouachita rivers are
both over their banks, and that all the neighboring
plantations are submerged. In the Tensas parishes
there has been great destruction of the crops and
the stock, depriying many plantations not only Of
shelter but Of food for the propretos an their ne,
groes.
The Louisiana (St- FrancisviIle) Chronicle, OF
the 18th says that the cotton plant wears sickly
appearance and appears to be backward in its
growth.

On the 18th inst, Emil Rothschild was brought

German came 10 this city, claiming TO be the ia
ther and sole inheritor of John and Henry Banff,
two young Germans who fell in the Mexican war.
His identity WAS sworn to by Rothschild and an
other German, and he succeeded in obtaining the
land warrants and extra pay due the estates Of the
two brothers. But, as it afterwards appeared that
the father of these men was living in Germany and
had never been in this country, our wary police
were on the lookout for the consprators and perur-
ers by whom the Government had been defrau1ed
and Mr.. Rothschild's arrest was made in conse-
quence. But this gentleman says that he is not
Emil Rothschild, but Lewis, and that the guilty
Emil, his brother, is not about. He was committed
for further examination. There is an equally crook
ed affair, it is said, in which Mr.. Rothschild had
some hand, respecting certain claims Of one Henry
Miller, the true history of which will no doubt be
elected,
