ALBANY, Feb. Clip. m.
No communication has yet passed any subject be-
tween Governor Seymour and tho administration at

the authorities at Washington because question has

Issued 10 supply vacancies in the regiments from this
State in the last two months In tho month OF December
nine hunlr I'd commissions issued January four
hundred and fifty. Thus far this month nearly three
hundred have been forwarded This exhibits a wonderful
sAange in officers There several for this
al I'M n fha
ocers in tho last regiments sent od second vacancies
caused By casualties in battle; third, resignation Of
scers tor or other There probably
from designations than any other Tho great bulk Of this
class are IN the Army OF the Potomac.
The State Prison Inspectors have been in session here
ever the appointments An effort made follow the
example Of tho Canal Board but difficulty tho
appointments for tho Auburn prison. Mr. Clark, who was
elected last fall insisted upon the removal or the most
men at the Auburn prison and the appointment
q person In Syracuse whom Mr. Tappan did not con
Dcer qualified for the place. and therefore voted with the
republican Inspector Mr. Bates. This contest upsets the
pan for general cutting or Of heads. and only few
obcias were removed. Nearly all remain last year.
Most Of the committees OF the House have organized
