that the letter Is already in the possession of

not, we could not insert, without inserting,
also, any reply which they might provoke
and after lately giving go fully the elaborate
debate OF The subject which took place in the

der that intense excitement exists among the
corps-correspondential or account of there
sweeping allegations against ell its members :;
for many Of them are persons of as much char
actsr as any one in the House, while in pro-
portion to their number, in attachments and
abilities, as body, they will not compare un-
favOrably with the body of which their aasail-
ants are members. They exercise power, and
are we'll aware of the fact, and will surely
defend themselves, or they lack the sentiments
of humanity. The truth is, there was neither
good sense, good taste, nor justice manifested
in the act of denouncing them all as they were
denounced, by more than one honorable men,
Der, as the public will duly perceive ere they
shall have concluded their own defence.
The Retired Navy Oficers.-As the Star
went to press to-day, the Senate bill to allow
officers who were retired, reserved, furloughed
or dropped under the decisions of the late
tigation, on which any such officer shall be re-
stored to his former position in the service, if
the decision BIO in his favor, was being passed
by the House. There was then no doubt in
our mind of its passage ere their adjournment
for the day.
Death Of an Army 0fkcer.-The War De-
partment have information of the death of
Captlin John G. Casey, Subsistence Depart
ment United States Army. who died at Tampa,
Florida, December Is, 1856. In his death the
public service has met with great loss. He
was one of the most enlightened, energetic and
useful officers of his grade who have graoed
the military service of this Government from
its foundation to the present time.
The Swiss Among Us.-Some excitement
prevails among the Swiss population here,
caused by the position of Prussia and Switzer-
land No definite organization has been af-
fected, but it is said to DO their intention to
organize upon receiving Information of any
overt act on tho part Of Prussia, ADD provide
means to aid their native land.

mated value Of the sinking fund to date
amounts to s4,9l2,Ol242. He recommends
that the Sinking Fund Commissioners should
be directed by law to invest the funds accu-
mulated in their hands in the stocks of the
State. The message denounces IN severe terms
the new State Bank and recommends lat the
