The general Board directed the former Trca-

the regimcntal Boards the amount of their
respective liabilities and, if any balance, to
divide it equally. lfAGooD, former Treasurer,

From Washington.

The intelligence from Washington is inter
eSting. The political cauldron is c.Rcrvcscing,
locating thereby the friends of the South and
our common country, as we'll as our enemies
In the Senate, after the reading of the
Presidents message, Mr.. DoUGLAs, of Illi-
nois, took decided ground against the posi-
tions of the message on the Kansas question
The President defends the Lecompton con-
.Vention, which is favorable to the interests of
the South. The Illinois Senator opposes that
convention, aud has introduced bill calling
another convention. lie was followed, on
the same side, by SEWARD and others of tho
. black republican crew. Mr. BIcLER, of Pa,
defended the policy of the President and his
own views most successfully. Nothing else
of importance has transpired in either house
Hon. NATHAN CLIFFoRD, of Maine, has
been appointed Judge of the Supreme Court
of the United States, to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of MIR. Justice DANIEL.
Phc President has appointed Hon. WIN A.
FdcH4RpsoN, Of Illinois, Governor of Nobras-
ka. The Senate has confirmed the appoint
1nent almost unapirlously.
Tho President has removed F. p, STANTON
Secretary of Kansas, and appointed Hon j.
w. Denver in his place. The cause of the
removal consists in STANTON. who is also
Governor of the territory during WALKER's
absence, not having obeyed instructions
Tho President instructed him to see, that
fair vote was had on the slavery and anti
slavery clauses of the constitution submitted
by the constitutional convention for the ap-
