New YORK, Nov. l5.-The steamship Champion

Lieutenants Gilbert, Dandy, Harden and St Clair
and 700 men of the Sd Infantry
Ex-senator Gwin was also u passenger under

rifles, &c.
Senator Gwin, Calhoun Benham and j. Brent
OF California, were arrested as the Uncle Sam was
entering the Bay of Panama, by order of General
Sumner Papers compromising them with the Sc
cessionsts were found aboard. Some of Gwin's
friends at Panama applied to the Governor to an.
null the arrests on the ground that they were made
in New Granadan waters, and that the Govern
ment has no right to transport politial prisoners
over their territory. Gen, Heran, who was an in
innate friend of Gwin, also used his influence
The Governor issued orders prohibiting the cor
veyance of the prisoners across the Isthrnus and
large forces of soldiers sent to the station to
release them as soon as they landed. The U. S.
consul went aboard the Uncle SAM and it was f.
nally decided that the prisoners to be allow
ed TO cross the lsthmus as such, and the question
of further arrest be referred to Washington
The steamer BOgota arrived at Panama on the
5th from Valparaiso and Callao Gov Bger and
family were among the passengers en- route for San
Francisco. Meigs has contracted with the Chill
Government to buildthe Valparaiso and Santiago
Railroad. His contracts now amount to about
