WASHINGTON AFFA1Rs.-The Washington
correspondent of the New ork Eoening Post
gives the following curious information res
pecting the relations of President Buchanan
and Gov. Walker:
"Besides the public instructions, the Pres
ident, on the 18th of July last, just after the
denunclation of Walker at the South on ac-
count of his Topeka speech, wrote hum let
ter of six pages, telling him that his course
was approved-that the constitution must be
submitted to the people, and that he should
use all his power to enforce its submission.
Let Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi howl,
and my administration will sustain you,
and we will stand or fall together on it.
The letter was not marked private, and was
shown to many gentlemen in Kansas. to con-
vince them that Buchanan approved Walkers
policy. Some saw it several times, and can
repeat it almost verbatim.
1t is supposed that this is the private letter
which Walker threatened to publish. The
very moderate tone of Walkers resignation,
his entire abstinence from accusation or re-
proaeh, gives credence to ali assertion made
Just before its appearance, that the President
had written him letter expressing the warm
est personal regard for him, regretting the
difference of opinion even on one point, and
deprecating any rupture"
The correspondent of the Philadelphia En-
quirer writes:
1.-The Kanzas Compromise bill of Senator
Pugh Is not likely TO meet with much favor.
1t Mr.. Pugh represents the Administration,
it is virtual back. down in some respects,
while in others it does not go far enough to
suit the Republicans. Mr.. Douglas and his
friends cannot go for it, as they would be
obliged to yield certain points that would be
ruinous TO my mind Mr. Pugh is but using
it as a stepping-stone TO render his exodus
from the Administration more easy when the
crisis arrives
The correspondent of the New York Herald
writing under date of Washington, Jan. 7th,
says:
Gen. Scott is busily engaged with the See
rotary OF War i'll arranging the campaign
against the Mormons, TO be commenced in
the spring. Orders are issued and will be
dispatched Immediately for the LIST cavalry
and the 9th infantry, now in Texas, to hold
themselves in readiness to march by the 18th
of April to reinforce the army in Utah.
Troops from The Pacific side will also be or
dered. The War Department has determined
on sending Immediately large reinforcemeats
to the army now serving in Utah. This force
consists of four full regiments, which will be
composed of both cavalry and infantry, with
two light batteries OF artillery. 1t is expected
that they will concentrate at Fort Leaven-
worth and take up their line of march at an
early day.
Chimes correspondence The administra-
ton is greatly elated by dispatches today from
Governor Denver, whose opinion is decided
that the Free State men will take part in the
State election and finally accept the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, relying on their power to
change it Immediately afterwards.
1t is thought that if Col. Williams is ap-
pointed the Minister to Constantinople, as
expected, Hon. Carroll Spence of Maryland
will be transferred to Rome.
