Special Despatch.

From washington.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The declaration of Mr..
Buchanan when he first heard of the defeat of the
postoce appropriation bill that he would not call
extra session is not considered indicative of his
final determination. Under present circumstances
it is not possible for the department to get along
after the 30th of June without serious detriment to
the public service.
Postmaster Brown continues very ill, and his
coalition has been unfavorably affected by the
death of Mr.. Marion and the loss of the post office
bill.
1t is certain that Hon. Robert NJ. McIane has
been appointed Minister to Mexico, and his appoint
ment will go before the Senate tomorrow for con-
trmation.
The extra session of the Senate will last several
days longer. One or two treaties and a number of
appointments, including that of Weller as post
master of San Francisco are to be acted on, which
may give rise to considerable debate.
The nomination of Mr.. Wiggin commissioner,
under the late fishery treaty, has been rejected.
from the Reporter Of the associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, March 5.-There is doubt but
that there will be session of Congress called by
the President earlier than the first Monday of
December next but whether in advance of or
directly after the autumn elections for Representa-
tives is not vet determined Not only the condi-
tion of the PoSt-oce department. but other branch
of the public service, absolutely require leisla-
ton before the usual time for the meeting of
Congress.
James Y. McGu1ie, of Georgia, has been appoint
ed Superintendent of Indian affairs for California
and Mr.. G. w. Gholson. of Mississippi has been
appointed Governor of Washington Territory.
1t has been enormously stated that Senator Pearce
denounced the report of the Committee of Con
| ference on the Post Office appropriation bill He
was member of the Committee, and concurred in
and signed the report although he stated that he
yielded to it with very great reluctance preerring
the passage of the bill to its defeat
The Interior Department has certified to the
| State of Iowa 100000 of land, under the
grant for railroads in that State under the act of
May 18th, 1856.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ARKANsAs.-The State
of Arkansas will have nothing to do with Banks or
Bank notes Gold and silver are her currency.
During the last two years. the increase in her tax
able property has been S29, lis 203; she owes but
debt S6l6 600, and that is not due before 1865
she is now building railroads; makes nearly two
hundred thousand bales of cotton and has taxable
property to the amount of 500, 1913, 248.
The above, now going the rounds of the press
encourages the hope that Arkansas will yet see il
to be both good principle and good policy to pro
vide for the discharge of those old debts which
have never been repudated by that State but the
payment of which has been so long deferred. That
there are Arkansas politicians alive to the expedi
ency of so just, polite, and wise is evn
ced by recent movements in her Legislature. The
sooner such movements are approved by the gener
al sentiment of her people, the better will it be for
both the character and prosperity of Arkansas
Missouri Republican.

LATER FROM MEXTCO.

The New Orleans Picay,ne of February &C. con
tains details of the Mexican news by the Tennessee.
1t reported that the United States steamer
Tennessee would bring men and means in aid of the
cause of the Constitutional Government, and Capt.
Dunlap at once interfered in behalfof Miramon and
II. b. NJ. Government, protesting against Captain
Turner, of the United States ship Saratoga, and
giving notice that the landing of such men would
not be tolerated by him, Dunlap.
The jas and penitentiaries of Mexico have been
opened and all the criminals their way
down; being incorporated with the army to take
Vera Cruz.
1t is confidently expected here that the return
trip of the Tennessee will bring the news of the
recognition of MALTA, by the United States Govern
men and hence the Liberal party is in the highest
spirits
There is no danger of Vera Cruz surrenderng to
the enemy, for it was better fortified for de-
fence, both by and munitions.
There is nothing in the few papers received by
this arrival to indicate whether Miramon is or is
not actually marching upon Vera Cruz. Ei Pro
gresO publishes letter of the l4th inst, from the
city of Mexico, in which the writer says that ne-
ther in the capital, at Puebla at any other
| point, there troops available for a campaign
| against Vera Cruz The force that could be raised
for that purpose would be but 900 men, supposing
! that the Department of Mexico furnished $500,
and the points now occupied by the reactonists
| should be left without garrison. "Here," he says
| ''even the old women know that the campaign of
Vera Cruz is nothing more than a farce invented by
Miramon for the purpose of robbing the clergy and
| sackinp the capital :"
