From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Juno THE representatives
OF the several Southern railroad companies
have again been in consultation with the prop
or officers of the Post Olice Department., and
left here to-day for Philadelphia, where they
design tomorrow to meet the representatives
of the railroad companies whose lines extend
from Washington to Now York.
Their business is to arrange the terms and
schedules for carrying the mails between New
York and Now Orleans with certainty and in
creased speed. At present the failures arc so
frequent as to demand Il new arrangement, t,
such as now proposed.
The mere declaration of intention to become
citizen of the United States does not entitIe
the person making it to passport, and of this
fact number Of applicants have recently been
informed.
1t appears by tho records of the Land Office,
that Arkansas has received l,ll5,OOO acres of
public land to aid in the construction of the
Cairo and Fulton railroad in that State, be-
sides another heavy instalment of swamp
lands.
The President and Secretary Thompson re-
turned from their visit to North Carolina this
evening.
gentleman who has just arrived here from
Utah, represents the people in an excited and
turbulent condition, bordering ON rebellion,
and hence the proclamation of Gov Cumming, ?,
with view Of dispensing the various parties Of
Mormons assembled in a military capacity, in
the mountains surrounding Salt Lake.
The parties, he says, are a portion of the
militia called out by the Governor, to resist
the entrance of the Govepment troops during
the session of Court at Salt Lake City.
The Mormons are monthly augmenting by
the arrival of foreign converts.
The civil law having failed to answer its
purpose, it is the opinion of intelligent parties
in that Territory that peace can be preserved
only by strong military rule, or bloodshet
averted by favoring the removal of The Nor.
mons beyond the jurisdiction of the Fedora
authorities.
WASHINGTON, June S.--The administration
has not yet fully determined on its course oi
action, pending the war in Europe, but has
under consideration declaration or statement
of the principles by which the United States az
neutral will be governed. 1t will clearly SET
forth the just rights of American citizens en-
gagged in peaceful pursuits of commerce, which
as far as possible, the administration designs
to protect.
The precise positions which will be assumed
can not now be ascertained, but they approxi-
mate to the principles heretofore declared,
namely: That free ships make free goods, con :
traband OF war excepted; and that the goods
of friend captured on board the vessels of an
enemy, with the like exception, shall not be
subject to confscation; and that the rights of
war ought not in the nature of things, to ex-
tend further than to exact from neutras the
interruption of all trade with blockaded port;
and to subject articles, contraband of war, to
capture and confscatiOn. The official exposi-
tion will involve the discussion of important
collateral questions, including that of blockade,
and as to how far this belligerent right should
be exercised. -
