The CAL1FoRNA MAILs.-Under date Of the 9Th
Sun writes: ".s
II is stated that Mr. D. B. johnson, the California
mail contractor, will take the mails to-day according
to his advertisement. The Pacific Mail Company
has it is said furnished him for the present with two
Ships one at the east end of the Nicaraguan transit
their object being either to accommodate the Post
Ohce Department or to thwar the intentions of CON-
Vanderbilt. Their policy must have undergone
sudden change, if this be so. Lately they refused to
take the mails for the South Pacific and they were
given to Com. Vanderbilt. II Mr. D. B. johnson
make only one trip by way Of Nicaragua, the provi.
sonal arrangement with Vanderbilt & Co. will be at
an end.
1t is q matter of great moment to the commerce Of
the United States to reopen the Ncaraguan transit
The trade of California has suffered much from the
conclusion of the transit for years past Many
suppose and assert that the transit is not now in
condition for use and cannot be put in proper order
without considerable expense.
Complaint is made Of the gross violations of the
passenger act by the California steamers They
almost invariably take several hundred passengers
more than their legal complement. Sometimes two
hundred or more are taken for whom no berths can
be provided. This evil ought to be corrected.
2. S.-The President declares it ia said, that be
will arrest General William Walker on the soil OF
ates back. This I" grave errorn has been once tole-
rated, and will now be commended.
Walker has sailed at q moment when his plan can
be easily frustrated The government will send out
orders to Aspinwal BY the steamer to-day, for his
arrest. The orders will arrive ahead OF him.
It is hardly possible that MIR. Horatio King, the
Assistant Postmaster General, who is now in New
York will give the California mails to Mr.. johnson
At the last advices Mr. King was not satisfied with
Mr.. Johnson's arrangements.

changes which it has undergone. would now ask
all who take interest in the subject to direct their
attention to the present appearance of the sum- In
addition to the group above referred to there are two
large collections Of spots and small one, the latter

The two large chains are of great length, extend

interest, on account Of its position, it being very
near to the southern limb Of the sun, quarter in
which these appearances not generally looked for
or found.

The WISCONSIN BEAR FIGHT.-The bears seem to
be coming up thicker and faster in the Northern
counties Of Wisconsin The Prairie du hien CLeader
says:
Mr.. Orson Jackson saw one week ago, in the town
of Goulee. Edward Davis says the Kickapoo woods
are full OF them that they kill the hogs before the
farmers eyes. Several have been shot near Mount
Sterling. Saturday week large one was seen on
the Grant county side of the Wisconsin, opposite
Bridgeport In Grant county, near the line little
fellow, fourteen years old, shot big black bear The
Leader hears that woman and child were partly
eaten by bear up in the pineries the Kickapoo,

Curtis Settlement several seen week before last
and one was killed. A bear was seen by Mr.. Bar.
ker the other day, within five miles of Madison, and
he stood with his fore paws on fence by the road

He afterwards went into the woods. Several bears
were recently Sank City, and one was killed

AN AMERICAN VESSEL FIRED INTo.-Capt. Good.
rich, of bark Hazard, at Boston from the coast of

On the sth of May, as we were running north, with
studding sails on both sides, made two-masted

We ran up the American flag to the peak, and it blew
out WELL When about mile off, and being forward

The shot went over our deck, between the fore and
main masts Hove the bark to, and the steamer sent
boat alongside with two officers, who asked the
them to come on board telling them they had exceeded
their ORDERS Asked them how they came to fire into
US as our flag was up. They replied: Damn your
flag we want to see your papers," When about to
leave, they asked if we wanted them to enter any
complaint in their log. We replied no. Bidding us
good day they pulled off. The steamer proved to be
