The orders for removing the main body Of troops
from Utah tc the Texan and New Mexican frontiers,
TO which referred ten days ago, are prepared.
The troops will start with the first grass on the
plains, commanded by Gen. Johnston. Col Charles
+. Smith will command the force left to keep
Brigham Young in order, consisting Of six compa-
MES of Infantry, four of Cavalry, and two Of Ar
tillery.
A BREACH OF PROMISE.
The President promised Mr.. White the influence
of the Administration to secure him the nomination
of Governor at the Reading Convention, but absn-
doned him at the pinch for Mr.. Foster, who has not
been personally identified with his views. This de-
sertion, with the overslaughing of Messrs Fry and
Dawson, will render the Opposition triumph in
Pennsylvania comparatively easy.
HOUSE PRINTER.
Mr.. Ford was elected Printer on the eighteenth
ballot by two majority thus terminating contest
which has provoked much comment through all its
stages. Mr. Defrees is to superintend the execu-
ton of the work. Various other benefciaries are
named.
DRY LEGISLATION.
Both Houses were engaged on the private caen-
dar and, as usual with very LIMITED attendance.
During most of the sitting the Senate was without
a quorum, and, after the election Of Printer, the
House thinned out rapidly,
TIE POsT-OFFICE DEFICIENCY.
The Post-Office Department has paid out on ac-
count of deficiency prior to the lst of July last,
about 81 500, 600 of the 81, 500, 900 recently ap
propriated. The reason for not extinguishing all
claims is that one thousand of the certificates of
indebtedness out Of the three issued by the Depart
ment have not been returned for examination and
settlement. The same Department has paid out,
including the drafts issued to-day, about 81 100 900
on account of Post Office service since the 1st of
July. These disbursements do not exhibit the
gums paid by the $4,000 Post-Ohices to contrac-
tors, under the law regulating those payments at
the discretion of the Postmaster General. Con-
tracts are now being made to replace those which
were abandoned between the LIST Of January and
the passage of the appropriation bill, which were
much more numerous than occurred between the
adjournment of Congress and the LIST Of January.
As this service is of limited duration, irregular
competition will be reduced as compared with or
binary lettings, and the cost will be considerably
enhanced.
MIRAMoN's PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
MiramOn does not contemplate any protracted
siege operation before Vera Cruz, but expects to
collect sufficient force to strike decisive blow
once, and return Immediately to the capital if sue
cessu. In that event. he is said to be prepared to
enter into negotiations with the Government here,
and to make commercial treaty of the most liberal
character, with Convention providing for JOINT
Commission to settle the respective claims eft Mex
leo and the United States.
THE MEXICAN TREATY.
IfMr. McLane had gone to the City of Mexico
before concluding his negotiations with Juarez, all
present difficulties might have been prevented. ln
identifying himself exclusively with one faction he
sacrificed the opportunity to acquire important and
substantial benefits.
NETWORK AND SAN FRANCISCO MAIL.
Propositions have been informally submitted by
the Vanderbilt and Aspnwall interests TO put on an
additional mail via Panama, thus establishing trl-
monthly sea connection between New-York and
San Francisco. They are willing to take the post
age for compensation. The Department has not
vet fully considered the suggestion.
