WASHINGTON, MARCH 8.
The House passed a bill to-day, to aa,-
thorize the Secretary Of the Treasury 10 acs
as agent of the United States, for the sale
of the Stock in the Bank ofthe u. Ssates.
The balance now in the Treasury IS about
twenty:eight millions, and adding 70 this
the sever, millions Of Stock in tho United
States Bank, it may be estimated at thirty {
five millions. Mr.. Ewing, therefore, when
he stated that in the course of the present.
year, the unexpended balance ,wouldbe fifty
millions, did not make an exaggerated es-
innate. 1t had been expected every day,
that bill would be reported for the division
of this surplus money among the Stnfes.
The subject had been, submitted to q Com
mitiee, and report of some kind may be
daily looked for. Should the Land Bill Of.
Mr.. Clay become lava supposition al,
most beyond the limits Of probabihty-she
accumulation from the sales Of the Public
Lands will not be permitted to tM the Tsea- !
sury, and thus, in great measure, thc ne
cessity offurthcr legislation, ID order to car
nv offthis superf1uous burden of weakh, viii
be obyiated. But if TINT bill should not
pass, we may be caledonia witness . con.
ilict between the old and new States, for ttle
benefits Of these unnecessary millions, such
as we have never before Witnessed. Then
will'cotne on that var for money which, ih
reference to our recent disagreement with
France, Senators pronounced the most base
and infamous of all causes Of war. II IS to
be hoped, however, that by some timely and
wise measure, such o contingency viii be
avoided, and our prosperity may not be
converted into our course.

was informed that all attempts to come at a
satisfactory arrangement with John Rss Of
the Cherokee Tribe, had failea, and that il
was found that some decisive movement
would have to be adopted towards that
chieftain and his people. S.
March s.
I" 1t is reported to-day, and ! have my in-
formation from ono who knows the views
Of the administration, that Gov. Cass viii,
tomorrow, be nominated Minister to The
Court Of ST. Cloud. The nomination will
not be opposed, | fancy, as the Governor is
very popular, and as all opposition would be
useless, if it were made, the votes Of tho
Senate.
Mr.. Polk, it is said, aad probably said
truly, will be the successor of Gov, Cass,
and DR.. Sutherland will be Translated to the
Weolsack. The Doctor is very ambitious
ofthc place, and viii make powerful ef:
fort to attain it. MI. Hamer, of Ohio; also
wants it.
"The Hon. William C. Rives, elected
TO fill the seat IN the Senate, vacated by the
resignation ofthc Hon. John Tyler, is in
town, and will probably take his seat in the
Senate tomorrow.
With the accession Of strength gained
since the opeiag Of Congress, BY the election
Of Messrs. Niles, Nicholas, Walker and
Rivers, the administration has gained COM.
pIe:c asccadancy in the Senate.
We1nderstand that Mr.. Pfesson's prop.
osition for a rerocession Of the District Of
Columbia to the Sites Of Maryland and
Virginia, is attracting much attention, es-
pccially among the Southern membess Of
Congress. And this is induced principally
by the continued attemps ofthe Nonheyn 40:
olitionis.s to effect their work Of mlschlei,
by commencing their vile efforts ia the Ter.
ritory. under the exclusive jurisdiction OF
Congress It is thought by many that ret-
recession of the District viii be the most
certain and efficacious way ol P'Hang q
ston TO the fanatics forever. They would
have then, no ground on which even 70
look much less to stand. lhc mcenf
diary wre,ches would then have e howl
ot home in important rage their own
,S,n, of fnower whilst the south could defy
tho;r malice and their means. This Is the 4
GREAT ~ reason why Mr.. preston's resoA,ton

There are other reasons, ofcourse, ePefatmgss
upon the minds of Congress and public
