From thi Washington states, Aug 2l. Department News.

NEW MILITARY PnsT-The Secretary of the Interior has addressed to the Secratarv at War a communication in reference to the establishment oi new military post, for the protection of the northen frontier of Texas and the Indian reserya. tons west of Arkansas from the irrupion. of the Ccmanches. Colonel Rector has very strongly urged the establishment of such post. Old kechi. or Wa~hta village. on Cache creek. is recommended as most suitable position. It con- mands the passes through the Washta noun tsins and Antelope hills, to the north branch of Red river, and also the road on the south side of the Washita mountains. up Red river. If a fort were erected here, and one on the western slope of the mountains on Red river, they would cover all northern and northeastern Texas and render it almost impossible to com init depredations in that State. These posts would render Fort Belknap.a and camp Cooper entirely useless.
 EXPEDITION AGAINST THE CoMANcHEs.- We understand that the course of Major D. A. Cooper in raising company of Chickasaw and Choctaws and in proceeding with them against the Comanches, Is distinctly repudated by the Secretary ofthe Interior Major Cooper, in his report to the Department, states that he acted
Arkansas true Democrat., 1858-09-15

Or The vote in Kansas on the land ordi- nance was upwards of l4,OOo. At the usual computation of five persons to each voter this would give upwards of 70,OOo inhabitants in Kansas. The number required to entitle them to representative is fraction over 93 1000; say 1S,OO0 voters. At the rate Kansas is settling up, it will not take her long to acquire the re- quisite population for her admission.
 Since writing the above we find the following estimate in an exchange:
 THE POPULATION OF KANsAs.-Tf, as is SUD- posed the voting population of Kansas will reach 19,OOO, it ~buld indicate Gin all old settled coun- try) population of 95,OOO. But this ratio cannot be supposed to hold in new settlements. Instead of l voter to 5 souls, l to is probably more nearly correct. This would show a popu. lation of 76,0O0. The latest estimate we have seen put the population at SOOOO..

Any thing to get Pine Bluff made the capitol of the State it would be SO comfortable--we'd be the Co., vernor's private organ--get to do all the public printing make mint of money-wouid smoke cigars-talk big--look immensely, incal- culably wealthy. and ride in two horse, two forty, double barrelled, back-action go-long-ity. Lay me down gently, Jeems."
 We confess that we don't exactly understand the duty of "Jeems." Has it any thing to do with the fluids got from the "net grocery"
 The following item is also from the lnde- pendent:
 "Ws learn from Capt Adams that our mails will be brought by steamboat only as far as Rchland hereafter, where the boat will be met by the Little Rock stage. Capt Adams finds that he cannot make the time by boat to this place, owing to the low stage of the river."

under strict verbal instructions from the Secre- tary of the Interior, but the latter has informed the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that he gave no such instructions, as he had no money under his cohtol out of which the expense of such an expedition could be paid.
 PERsoNAL.-Secretary Cass left yesterday for Stonington, Ct, to be present., 1t is said, at the marriage of his daughter with MT. Van Linburg, minister from the Netherlands.
 The Postmaster General and his family have taken temporary residence at the country seat of Gen. Walbridge, some two miles and half from the city.
 Attorney General Black contemplates leaving the city this evening for Pennsylvania.
 The Commissioner of the General Land Office has gone on visit to Indiana. During his ab- sence Jos Wilson, esq.,, will be Acting Commis- sioner.
 Col. Rector willreturn to his superntendancy shortly, and will distribute among the Semi holes the presents and goods recently purchased in New York for that purpose. CONDITION OF THE TREAsURY-T receipts into the Treasury last week were nearl S9,6l4, GOO. making the entire amount on deposit : A. 5OUOOO, ten and third of which Is in New York The receipts, apart from the payment on account of the ten-mIiiion loan, were over one million, and the increase $3OO,UO over those of | the pre- vious week.
