is responsible for the working Of the Pensaco-
las machinery, is in close confinement on
board, under orders keeping him there until

APPOINTMENT.
The President has appointed Lieut.. Henry
A. Wise, of the Navy, Acting Chief Of tho
Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography in the
Navy Department, during the temporary ab-
sence of Capt. A. A. HARDWOOD.
THE REBEL ARMY OPPOSITE.
II ia not believed at Headquarters that any
considerable number of troops have been with
drawn from the Rebel army opposite Wash
ington, in consequence Of the invasion Of South
Carolina. Beauregard has not gone to Charles
ton as reported. The rumor, however, which
imputes to him an inclination to resign unless
a more vigorous policy be adopted in tho con-
aiuct Of the war, is not without foundation.

Indian Bureau, inclosing letters of safeguard
issued by Albert Pike, who calls himself Com
missioner of the Confederate States" to the
Indian Nations and Tribes west Of Arkansas,
in favor of band of the Comanches This

ell. They were greatly astonished on beng
informed that they had made treaty with
enemies of oar Government and OF their Great
Father at Washington, and wished the SAFE
guard to be sent to Washington to be de-
stroyed, or used as their Great Father might
see fit
Armed Indians are at Fort Wise in great
numbers, and are anxious to make treaty
and enter in the agency at that place. They
number 500 or coo lodges and, from their
number and bravery more trouble may be
apprehended from them than from all other
tribes if they are not satisfied. We give
