FROM WASHLNGToN


New YORK, Dee. s.
The Washington correspondent of Tho
Jour. Of Com telegraphs that il has boer
agreed that Mr.. Banks shall be run to-dov
by the northern republicans and free soiIers
If he cannot be chosen, the next rally will be
upon Pennington, wing, of New Jersey
The Washington correspondent Of the
Herald telegraphs: 81 am authorized 70
say that the President has dispatched no
troops to Kansas to preserve order"
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
Mr.. Appleton Of Maine, late U. s. Secre.
tary OF Legation at London, having resigned
with the letters of recall sent BY the Gov.
eminent sent to Mr.. Buchanan, at that Gen.
tleman's request, there was sent an appoint
ment to MIR. Appleton as U. S. Charge
d Affaires ad interim, which that gentleman
declined, preferring to return to the United
States, where his private business demanded
his attention.
We presume Mr.. Buchanan will not leave
until his successor is on the spot to relieve
him.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
SENATE.-Mr. Hale submitted resolu-
ton asking the President to inform the Sem
ate whether he had received any evidence of
such resistance to the execution of the laws
in Kansas as to require the interposition of
military force.
Mr.. Adams gave notice of bill to amend
the naturalization laws.
New YORK, Dec. 5.
Clubs are forming in this State for the
support of Robt. M. Hunter, at present U.
S. Senator from Virginia, for President of the
U. States, and Augustus Schell, promi-
nent lawyer and hard shell democrat, for
Vice President.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.
Lord Clarendon's dispatches by the At
lantic leave the question of Mr.. Champions
withdrawal still in allegiance. There is a
plausible effort to extenuate the conduct Of
the recruiting officer which will require time
and reflection to answer; consequently the
correspondence on this subject cannot be SUBJ
mitted to Congress, it being imperfect. The
object of the British government is to gain
time.
The Postmaster Generals report will re-
commend money order system.
1t is rumored that Pratt, Jones of Ten
nesse, Toombs, and some other pro-slavery
whig.ySenators, are about to transfer them
selves formally to the administration party.
Dispatches brought by the Atlantic were
considered by the cabinet this morning,
which enabled the President to complete his
message. They are of the most pacific ma
ture. The question of the SOUND Dues still
remains unsettled, our government still refus-
ing to concede to the capitalization proposed
by Denmark.
Wendells chances for the public printing
seem to be very good. While he carries the
administration party, he meets with no vio-
lent opposition from any quarter. Concilia-
ton is his policy. The Senate printing will
be given to the Union, although the Senti-
mel will endeavor to hold over.
1t is whispered here that the Known oth-
ings have ex-Presdent Fillmore staked out
for the Presidency, and will not permit his
return until spring, lest he be called to ans
wer questions.
The chief item in Secretary Guthrie's re-
port will be recommendation that raw ma
terials be admitted free of duty. This, as a
progressive step in favor of free trade, will
be strongly urged in both houses by the
friends OF the administration.
A little excitement exists here in conse-
quence of large contract for paper which
has lately been advertised. Government
wants twenty thousand reams of printing
paper, fine and superinc, and sixteen thou
sand reams of other paper of all kinds---the
whole amount of the contract being about
half million of dollars. All the principal.
paper makers in the Union are here pressing
for the lob.
