been doing duty at various points in California,
Oregon, and Washington Territory, wherever
ordered by the late Secretary Of War, the traitor
John Il. Floyd. They are splendid set Of men, and
in the best Of spirits. Their steady readup Broadway
was watched with interest by thousands Of citizens
A long delay took place at the California dock, foot
Of Warren street, where the Champion is mt ored,
and many women found time TO embrace their
friends. At length the order came to march to the
Park Barracks, where the regulars viii remain
quarered for the present. as most Of the other rendez
yous around the city are fall. Each man is provided
with fine weapon which ia kept in the bes, order.

Ex-senator Gwin, Calhoun Benhnm, late State
Attorney at San Francisco, and Capt. Bant, former
ly in command of revenue cutter, sailed from San
F.ancisco on the 0rlaba, the elme that carried the
solders and with the intention, as was believed. Of
transactng business for the benefit Of the Southern
Confe5eracy abroad. One day ont from Panama the
order 10 search the baggage Of all hands went forth
from headquarters and the result was that the above
gentlemen were put under arrest. They are now at
the New-York Hotel on parole.
Various stories existed aboard the Champion as
TO the case on which the arrest was founded. From
the well-known reasonable of the gentlemen
named ample reason existed why their present jour
uey should he watched with suspicion. Only one Of
them (Brant) had through ticket. As several En-
glish steamers known to touch at Aspinwal, the
suppodtion gained credence that or two Of them
were going thence to Europe.
On the PRONUNCIATION OF the order % search for Sc
cession Documents one story has il that the above
party threw something overheard. This, however
Is not vouched for By the officers in command. The
rumor existed aboard the ship that lieutenant drew
HE pistol and threatened TO shoot the Secessonis il
they committed certain parcel to the sea; bat the
officers have net heard of such an occurrence.
Messrs. Gwin, Bcnham, and Brlut wisely re-
framed from talking Secessonism the hearing Of
the other passengers.
On the Pacific the 0rizaba fell in with tho u. S.
ship St. Marys. The Narragsnset was seen at Man
zanillo and the Lancaster at Panama-all WELL.
At Panama General Sumner met with the warlke
intelligence that the Governor having command of
the New Granadsn troops had collected regiment
In the neghborhood, with the determination Of pre-
venting the passage Of United States prisoners, on
the ground that the right of cytndition was not en-
braced in the treaty existing between the two coun-
ries. Itappeared that 400 troops had been on the
ground only day or two before but - the United
States soldiers debarked, by order OF Gen. Sumner,
fully prepared for action, none Of the former made
their appearance. The Authorities holly protested,
andsppeared with several companies of the Guard,
which was the extent of their opposition. Had they
lone any thng further II was believed that two COM
panes of our regulars would have been able to over
power any resistance that could bc brought against
hem.
Gen. Herran, the officer of tho New-Granadan
Government most active in this opposition 10 the
passage Of our troops with their prisoners, is the
Minister accredited to the Government at Washing
on, and very warn friend of Gwin and his con
Teres but he does in any way sympathize with the
aIse Of Secession. The Orzaba arriving too late to
