WASHINGTON, March 1.-The War Depart
ment has received dispatches from General
Clarke, of California, saying that change in
military movements has become necessary to-
ward the occupying Of the crossing of the Col
orado, at the 35th parallel, and that a neces-
sity exists to chastise the Indians in that re-
gion of country. 1t is understood that the
Mohaves will be joined by other tribes, and
they can muster jointly 900 fighting men.

The President, in replying to call of the

slave trade, says that the instructions given to
the Commanders of Sqhadrons are such that
seizures are not likely to be made except under
circumstances which would net in tho least in

did not authorize condemnation. The object
of the Government has been to avoid, as far as

The washington Tragedy.

WASHINGTON. March - The following
course has been resolved upon to- day by the
counsel of Mr.. Sickles in relation to the judi
cial proceedings growing ont Of the recent
killing of Mr.. Key. Mr.. Sickles having been
committed ON Sunday, the further examina-
ton before the Committing Magistrate will be
waived for the reason that the Criminal Court
commences on Monday next, and, being in
confinement, he will be entitled, without delay,
to an immediate and final trial. The further
examination before a Committing Magistrate
would involve a long investigation into the
distressing circumstances without any final re-
suit, and might procrastinate the period Of get
ting the case before jury. Numerous offers
for bail have been pouring in upon Mr.. Sickles
ever since he has been committed but, having
voluntarily placed himself in the hands of pub
lie justice, he prefers patiently to remain till
his act shall be finally pronounced upon by q
Jury of his country, after a full and complete
hearing Of the case; and while this may sub
eet him to some inconvenience, his own feel
ings and those of others involved, whom he Is
willing, as far as possible, to spare, will be
saved the repeated discussion of the unhappy
| circumstances attending this case.U 7 u Ts.
The father of Mr.. Siekles arrived here last
| night, and had painful interview with his
son. The mother Of Mrs. Sickles also visited
him this morning, in company with Surveyor
Hart, and was 30 overcome by her feelings thai
she tainted. I|H .#nr e TT
Mr.. Butterworth has published minute
statement, so far as he is connected with thu
occurrence, in which he says that when he lef
Mr.. Sickles he had no thought Of meeting oil
seeing Mr.. Key, his object being to see a Mr.
Stewart. He had no arms with him, and die
not know that Mr.. Sickles intended to TAXI
arms. He (Sickles) left the house after Mr.
Butterworth, and without any suggestion from
Mr.. Butterworth, came toward the Club House
When Mr.. Key saluted Mr.. Butterworth, thu
latter did not know that Mr.. Sickles was ap
preaching, nor did he see him until he turned
to leave Mr. Key. -aEH .u .G

The Explosion Of the Princess
Additional Particulars.

New ORLEANS, February 2s-(Evening). "A
boat which has just arrived from the wreck of
the Princess, brings q number of the wounded
and dead. --
The weather was foggy at the time of the
explosion; she was behind time and had too
much steam on. il.t.t
A Baton Rouge dispatch says that the engi-
neer was reported to have said that no would
reach New Orleans in a certain time OF blow
up. The engineer was cut completely in two
by the explosion. About one hundred are
wounded, many Of them dangerous and in n
dying condition. 1t is impossible, as yet, to
ascertain the number lost. Several boats saved
many of the passengers. Much excitement
prevails here and all along the river. Numer-
Gus unrccognized bodies are found. No other
Northern or Western names are yet given.
LATER.--Numbers of the Princess sufferers
are dying from their injuries. The forward
part of the boat was blown to pieces.

Among the most important amendments con-
curred in are the followingi Reducing the
$36O,O0O appropriation, for continuing the
Treasury building extension, to $60S000 (; strik-
ing out the appropriation Of $500 o,osa for the
Charleston, 8. O., and $25O,OOO for the Now
Orleans Custom houses.
A proviso was adopted that no part OF the
amount appropriated to the Patent Office shall
be paid to the delegates recently assembled
here, by invitation Of the Interior Department,
for consultation in relation TO agriculture.
The bill was then passed. rr.r -,t
It makes appropriations for coast survey,
lighthouse establishments, survey Of the pub
lie lands, etc.
The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole on the state of the Union, and took up
the Maii-steamer Appropriation Bill.
An incidental discussion ensued, involving
questions that bountiss should be withheld and
the postages pay for the Ocean Mail SER
vice that American steamers are ready to rem
der theservice, provided that the postal treaties
which afford protection TO foreign steamers and
oppress the American, be abrogated, and that
the Postmaster General be directed 10 send
mails by American steamers only, and so give
them the entire service t.'
During the debate, Mr.. Haslin said that the
mail contracts were corrupting, and that boun-
ties had famed out the Ocean and excluded
all competition, by which means the Federal
treasury had paralyzed all private enterprise.
Mr.. Davis, Of Miss, desired the defeat of the
bill, so that one may be passed securing an in
dependent system of our own without the aid
of subsidies. ythfa af tttt E.fL .tt

Mr.. Jones, of Tenn, the bill was tabled by

H0USE.--Feb. 2S, (midnight. )-At twenty
minutes after eleven o'clock, the committee rose
and reported the Miscellaneous Appropriation
Bill, with the amendments to the House.
Mr.. George Taylor, of N. ", from the com
mittee appointed to investigate the accounts of
the late Superintendent OF Public Printing,
made o report. The committee say that the
books are so negligently and loosely kept that
it is impossible to arrive at any definite knowl-
edge of the business done in the office. And
they are unanimously Of opinion that
there existed n combination for compelling all
contractors to pay their way for contracts; that
this WAS the general belief among contractors,
and the payment for contracts, either in the
way of a loan, commission or percentage, was
general. rf
The printer employed clerk to do little
work at yearly salary of S, 900, while the
printer received, for doing nothing, from So 900
to $40, 900 per annum. Engravers and Ltho-
graphers found it to their interest TO employ
the public printer TO act as agent to look after
their interests, and received the money TO be
paid. The committee traced between 5000
and $40, 900 into his hands, and some $40 ,00O
In others, and about $4,000 direct to Mr.
Stedman, most Of which, of the last sum, wai
given by way Of bonus, and is stili remaining
unpaid. A small portion was paid by con
tractors direct as percentage.
| The combination referred TO, existed for al
| contracts going through Mr.. Stedman's ofhse.

WHO are Orphans Z.

A controversy has sprung up in Phi
ladelphia in regard to the sense in which
the term orphan, as used by Stephen
Girard, in his will founding the Girard
College. The cid Board Of Trustees,
after an elaborate examination of au.
thorit!es, decided that the term orphan
meant o fatherless child. The trust
has been managed some ten years on
that construction. But, new lords new
laws now prevail. The new Board, in
June last, decided that an orphan must
have lost both his parents to cntitlc
him to admission in the College. The
will Of Girard had provided that pre-
ference should be given to orphans
born in the city of Philadelphia. Both
these facts were united in the case OF
james Sooham, and, on his rejection
by the Board, bill was filed in the
Supreme Court, and heard by Judge
Read on Monday week. Judge Read
after hearing an elaborate argument,
with numerous authorities from the
Bible, Shakespeare, and about a dozen
of dictionaries, decided both points ir
favor Of the applicant. A child whose
Jathcr atone is dead is an orphan, as
well as when both parents are dead.
