From Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 90.
The speech Of Mr. Secretary Cameron
at the dinner of the St Andrews Socie.
ty last evening, was the most satisfactory
declaration of the policy Of the Admins
tration that has yet been made, aud that
clause wherein he states "that the war
would continue until all the causes which
produced it are removed, and when it
terminates we shall hear no more Of
Vircinians, no more of South Carolinians,
but shall be all Americans, one aad iudi-
visible" was received with immense
cheering. We arc happy to have it in
our own power to say that the activity
of the War Department has illustrated
the sincerity of his declarations. More
systematic and effective labor has been
performed 10 the lat eight days, than ct
any corresponding period of time. The
country will give him salutation and sup
port in the highest exercise of his cner.
~ in accommodating Il force which shall
make resistance hopeless.
