Presidents-for the old man knows full we'll how to take care Oi the dollars and cents -.s WASHINGTON, March 8. Currency .BiU--Appointments, 6c.-The | Senate is vet in SesSiOn-and few nomina- tions have already been submitted to it. Mr. Dallas has been nominated Minister Plenipo- tentiarv to Russia, and MT. Chew as his Sec retary of Legation, The appointment ofMr. Dallas may befooked upon as an approval of the Dallas doctrines, which the New York mob has lately been putting into execution in the streets of New York.
 The nomination of the two new Judges of the Supreme Court, Mir. Catron of Nashville, formerly Chief Justice of Tennessee, and of Judge Smith of Alabama, formerly of South Carolina, are mere rewards of partizanship, and though worse appointments might have been made, better ones, it is thought, might also have been made.
 | Mr. Joel R. Poinsett has been nominated as Secretary at War, and the appointment is | confirmed. The Cabinet of MT. Van Buren now stands thus:
 Secretary of State, MT. Forsyth.
 Treasury, MT. Woodbury.
 Navy, MT. Dickenson, (for while.)
 War, Mir. Poinsett.
 Attorney General, MT. Butler.
 Post Master General, MT. Kendall.
 A MT. Hayward, partisan leader in North Carolina, has been nominated as Minister to Belgium.
 The Tecumseh-killer, R. M. Johnson, it is said made the drollcst of figures as the pre- siding officer of the Senate. As yet he does not know how to puta common question and there is not much probability of his improv- ing.
 The reasons which General Jackson as- signs for pocketing the Currency Bill is the worst humbug in the world. The apology given in the Globe, was all an after-thought. The Bill was before the President nearly two months. It passed the Senate nearly two months before the adjournment. Every bo- dy knew it would pass the House. It was a simple, short bill, easily understood, and quickly read. The odium of pocketing it, Gen. Jackson feels the necessity of avoiding; Why did he not veto it! Then he would have discharged his duty. The reason is, that he knew Congress would pass it in spite of his veto The pocketing it was an odious act of tyranny.
 Gen. Jackson left the city yesterday mor- ming, uiG Baltimore, in the cars for Freder- ick. He was attended to the Washington 1 Depot by MT. Van Buren and R. M. Johnson, and left with Chief Justice Fancy and his family.
 LATE FROM FLORlDA--wAR RENEWED As we predicted, the pretended armistice of Gen. Jesup has turned out another sham, or ruse-in other words an ingenious device to gain time, and Gen. Jesup has been caughtin the snare, and duped in this matter, as Gen. Gaines was before.
 The famous Oceola and Micanopy did not come in to the Council that was to be held at Fort Dade, IA miles below Fort Armstrong, Feb. 18th. By advices from Fort Armstrong, near Dade's battle ground, to Feb. 23, receiv- ed at Savannah, we learn that Jumper had sent word that he was sick. Abraham how ever, and two sub-chiefs, are said to have sur rendered. There are 100 Seminoles encamp- ed one mile from Fort Dade, waiting the is- Fort except Captain Ringgolds company, companies l, and parts of F and D, 3d artil- lery, together with one company of the 4th artillery. These companies were selected to form the garrison of Fort Armstrong, situated in the vicinity ofthe Wahoo Swamp. l By an arrival at Charleston from Jackson vile later than the above, we learn that Gen. Jesup had sent to Garey's Ferry for 400 hor- ses to renew the campaign, and hostilities were to be recommended Feb. 25. Two of Gen. Hernandez negroes who had been prisoners to the Seminoles had escaped to St. Augustine, and reported that 400 Indian
 
 near Pllatkahakaha. The Indians have had no talk whatever, and their object has been without doubt as it was before to have time to remove on their squaws and papooses to some new hiding place among the impenetra- ble everglades. The Chiefs it is now rumor ed, are in favor of an armistice-the young men against it,, they have plenty of ammu- nition.- In the late attack on Col Tanning they lost but ]: killed and wounded. There IS prevailing notion among the Seminoles that Gen. Jesup intends to handcuff and shin them off as soon as he can catch them. .9. Sauannah paper.
