Washington News and Gossip.

The PROPOSED " WASHINGTON SENrINELn is
surely to the out in a very short time, we learn
from authority in which we rely implicitly in
this connection. All the current telegraphic
rumors concerning it Of which we wrote few
days ago, turn out to be without foundation,
as we intimated on that occasion in saving
that we would not vonch for the truth of any
of them. The new journal is not to be the
organ of a William C. Rives party or organiza-
ton. That's very certain nor is Mr. Lewis
c. Levin to be connected with it. These are
facts concerning the Sentinel, to which
our telegraphic friends are welcome. As to
who are positively to be its editors we are at
fault, believing that up to this time the pub
Usher, Mr.. Tucker, has not concluded positive
arrangements with any gentlemen of the quill

dore j. Eckerson, of Oregon, who served with
distinction rs q sergeant in the regular army

A NEW MILITARY Posi- TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN TExAs.-We hear that the War Depart
ment have ordered four comp anies of the Sth
infantry now ut Camp Chadburn on the Up
per Colorado and Camp McKavett on the San
Saba, to proceed with all possible despatch to
Ell Paso to establish post there on the Amer
lean side of the river. It will be reccllected
that the last news from that quarter admon
ishes the Government of the necessity for be-
ing prepared thus to protect our citizens
there.
An ARMY ASSISTANT SURGEON APPOINTED

POLITICIANS AT THE WHITE HoUsE.-Chas
O'Conner, Esq, u. S. District Attorney for
the Southern District of New York, spent an
hour with the President this morning, we hear
His appearance in Washington at this time is
of course attributed by the outsiders to the
condition of the party in the Empire State.
Mr.. O'C., of all the very " Hards," is sup
posed to be most confded in at the White
House. Certain it is that the politicians here
regard him as the organ of that wing of the
party in its negotiations, or communications
with the Administration. Two to one, to-
nights train will bring to Washington some
New York gentleman we'll known for his devo-
ten to the fortunes of the other wing, charged
with the duty of sustaining their interests
here as involved in the current trouble.
The Hon. William Allen. of Ohio, the head
and front of the wing Of the Democracy of his
State styling themselves anti -Miamies, also
morning. His wing originally contended for
the entire prescription of their opponents, and
that being denied them, they at first pro-
claimed themselves prescribed But Governor
Wood and others of their leaders, having ac-
cepted fat Offices, they have abandoned that
cry. 1t seems to be understood that just now
they are willing to consider their account with
the President square, if he will remember the
Hon. William Allen when he comes to fill
either the French or Chinese Missions So
they go. His would be a capital appointment
to China.
The FRENCH MIssION.-W have reason to
believe that in q protracted Cabinet session
to-day it was formally determined to tender
the French Mission to the Hon. John Y. Ma
son, of Virginia.
The VIRGINIA REvoLUTIoNARYL LAND CLAIMS
concerning which much has been said in the
papers Of late, are in the hands of the Attor-
ney General just now that officer having been
requested by the Secretary of the Interior to
advise him upon one or two important points
of law involved in them.
The COMING GEORGIA ELEcT1oN-We hear
that members of the Administration have let
tiers from Gov Cobb and others, saying with
great confidence, that johnson will be elected
governor by an overwhelming majority.
