WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Doctor Jose W. Smith ha
arrived here from Mexico with highly important
dispatches, and is stopping at Wizards hotel. He
is the bosom friend of General Alvarez who is now
ready for the field with six thousand men if he had
arms and ammunition. Doctor Smith converse.
freely with respect to matters in Mexico. He
brought home the report of the Hon. VIM. Church
well, of Tennessee, the special agent of the United
States, who went to Mexico two months ago to as.

has been in New Y York but he will doubtless be here
to morrow. The Speaker appointed the following
Committee to investigate the charges corruption in

respondence of the New York Times Nicholas,
Winslow, Eustis, Whitley and CLARK B. Cochrane.
The appointment of Eustis is very singular His
integrity is undoubted, but the knowledge of the
fact that his own wedding is just on hand
should have relieved him from this duty. The
Speaker asked by the friends of the investiga

Committee, but be was not appointed STILL the Com

of being blood thirsty. The summonses are now out
