Senators held caucus this morning, to con-
slider the arrangement of the standing com
mittees. Mr.. Toombs is understood to have
advocated the restoration of Mr.. Douglas as

required the correspondence, however, be-
TWEEN Gen. Scott and Gov. Douglas has result
cd in restoring San Juan to the joint military
companies of the two governments. Gov
Douglas proposed it should be in the joint oc.

This was objected to by Gen. Scott, and at.
ter long correspondence military occupan-

more than one hundred men on each side.
With the exception of this number, all our
troops have been withdrawn from the island,
