A letter 30 the editors Of the Baltimore
American, from correspondent at Wash
ingion, under Saturdays date, says:
We have reason 10 hope and believe,
on the authority Of an officer Of high
standing in the army, who very recently
left Tampa Bay, that ihe report Of the In
dams who had come into the post having
deserted and returned with hostile intent
10 their Businesses, is untrue, at all events
10 any thing like the extent stated, al
though the grounds Of hope Of an imme-
diate termination Of hostiliiies may not be
as conclusive as they may have recently
appeared. One of the principal chiefs
stated 10 have gone of with the deserters
il known 10 have sent out, before the time
specified, 10 bring in his clan.
With this long protracted and mosi
perplexing war, and other important
branches Of his public duty, the new Sec
Rotary Of War is said to be battling with
indomitable courage and indusiry-sO
much so as 10 be often at work in his Of
fee until near midnight. Truly such an
Office is no sinecure; compared with the
incumbent, a working man on the ten
hour system may be called a gentleman
at large"
The intimation in the first paragraph o.
the above extract corresponds with infor
nation which we have ourselves received
from high officer in the army; and the
tribute paid 10 the spirit and industry wild
which the Secretary Of War devotes him
self To the arduous duties Of his sia,iol
we can, from our. own observation, de
clare to be no more than justly due.
