NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-Wm. S. Coffin of
Indiana is appointed superintendent Of Indian
affairs, in place of Rector. He lett to-day with
important instructions respecting the welfare
of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chicapaw, and
other Indians. 1t is known that their dele
gates who recently returned home from here
were favorablv impressed with the friendly
feeling OF the government. They will be re-
assured, through Coffin, that it is neither de-
signed nor desirable to interfere in any way
with their domes ic institutions, including
slavery, while they will be convinced that it
is for their interest forever to remain on terms
Of peace with the federal government. The
public are aware that these Indians have been
tempered with by disuuionists. The commits.
sioner of Indian affairs assduously applies
himself to the preservation of the quiet OF the
Indians generally.
None of the managers of the Mount Vernon
Society residing here have any knowledge oil

beyond what is published They reasonably
presume that if facts were as represented,
those in charge of the place would have in
formed them John A. Washington has no
legal right TO remove the dust of the Father
of his Country to any other locality. This is
evident from an examination OF the deed OF
purchase by the association.
The postmaster general has annulled the
contract for conveying the mails from Norfolk
to Hampton, and from Old Point to Easiville,
owing to the interruption by the Virginia au-
thorties of the means Of conveying them. 1t
is probable that for the same reasons nearly
all if not the entire, river mail service will be
officially discontinued in few days, in the
secession states.
Friend w. Smith has been appointed post
master at Bridgeport, Conn. The transport
Marion has arrived here with arms and sup
plies from New York.
Occasional arrests are made Of persons CIV
ing aid and comfort TO the enemy. The last
was man from Alexandria, who endeavored
to persuade the government troops TO join the
confederate army. He was turned over to
await the orders of Gen. Mansfield.
1 have ascertaned definitely the forces con-
gregated at and in the vicinity of Harper's
Ferry. At Harper's Ferry there are two
thousand men at Hallstown twenty-five hun
bred at Point of Rocks eight hundred The
latter are entirely composed of Marylanders-
the rabbc that left Baltimore and its vicinity.
The force at Harpers Ferry is poorly equip
ped and not fully armed, but it has nine how
tiers and eight thirty-two Founders. You
may rely upon these figures as representing
all the force now congregated at that point.
A messenger was sent to the commander
of lie Pawnee, now off Alexandria, with her
guns pointed upon the town, and it is under
stood that the secession flag now floating over
that city will soon come down. 1t is very
disagrceable and insulting, as it is in full view
of the Capitol and White House,
