WASHINGTON, May 7, 1862
Another Indian War Imminent.
An of1cer who left Fort Harker, Kansas ten days
ago reports great uneasiness among the Cheyennes
Arapahoes Kiowas and some Of the Comanche
bands. These tribes were the objective points
Of General sheridan's campaign into the
Indian country last winter. The losses
which they sustained in warriors and stock
seemed to make an impression at the
1me and every reason was presented to lead to the
belief that the tribes would be willing in the future
% remain quietly upon their reservations The
approach Of summer, however, seems to arouse
afresh their warlike spirit and again the plains and
frontier settlements are threatened with summer
Of devastation and bloodshed. The chiefs OF the
tribes declare that their goods are withheld from
them and the promises Of the government have not
been fuinLsd. Most Of these Indians are In the
vicinity OF Medicine Bluff creek, and received their
annuities there in February last. Those that have
not come In have no right to expect anything. The
complaints are considered nothing more than the
forerunners OF another outbreak the grass
Is sufficiently advanced and the ponies have recu-
perated in strength ana flesh.
New York Sensation RumOrs Denied.
The Secretary Of State having seen statements in
some Of the New York papers to the effect that
United States Marshal Barlow had sent a despatch
to the Department Of State relative to the sailing Of
an expedition from New York for Cuba and had re-
ceved no reply Mr.. Fish telegraphed the Marshal to
know II he had sent such a despatch. Marshal Bar
low replied by telegraph to-day, stating that he had
sent no such despatch. The story Of his having
notified the State Department about the sailing Of
any expedition for Cuba and that no notice was
taken thereof by the Secretary Is pure fabrication.
The Belgian Missi0n-Sanf0rd to be Removed
to Make Room for J. Russell Jones.
The President, 1t is ascertained from an authori-
tatve sonrce has determined to appoint his friend
J. Russell Jones, of Illinois, Minister to Belgium.
This will take up the gay and festive Sanford where
the Senate left him and dispose Of him efec.ualy.
The President does not feel under any personal OBJ
legations to Sanford, while Jones is his warm per-
sonal friend, and he intends to stand by him. It
win be remembered that Jones was reported TO the
Senate favorably by the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. His nomination was laid ON the table be-
cause after Sanford had failed Of confirmation for
Spain, there was no vacancy at Belgium, Sanford
having been transferred from Belgium to SPAIN in.
stead of removed. The President however,
proposes to solve the difficulty by removing
Sanford outright and appointing his friend Jones.
Don't Like Negr0es-Haytiens Indignant at
the Appointment Of Sable Minister.
Information has been received here from Hayti to
the erect that the government and people Of that
island are highly indignant at the appointment Of
negro to represent the government OF the United
States ct that court appears that the arstocratc
negroes OF Hayti look down with contempt upon
their sable brethren in this country and regard the
action Of our government in appointing negro
minister as to say the least, sighting Of them, II
not an insult. The feeling in Hayti this subject
seems to be based upon the idea that negro was
given the place because white man could not be
found who would take 1t. AL the other nations.
they say, had white men accredited to their courts,
with the exception Of Hayti and Liberia both negro
governments ana nobody but negroes would take
these places. The thing is regarded as good joke
ct the state Department and In government circles
generally.
The Approaching Election in virsinia-Lnrge
Increase Of White voters-Isnd Of Negro
Supremacy In the Old Dominion-Negro
Candidates for Congress.
The statement which appeared In certain journals
the other day to the effect that Of the
late virginia Convention were in this city to the
President proves to be entirely inaccurate One or
two gentlemen from that state may have sought In
tervews, but they claimed no representative capa-
city whatever. The committee appointed by the
Convention to wait on the President In rela-
ton to the submission OF the constitution to
the people for ratification rejection consists OF
Messrs. r. T. Daniel, Judge Meredith, Judge Mar
shall, ". II. Mcfarland, General Anderson and
other conspicuous and influential citizens all chosen
with special reference to their holding mode
rate views, In accordance with the line OF
policy which controlled the recent Conven-
ton. THIS committee has not yet reached the
city, but expected soon to arrive, and the Pres
dent has signhed his readiness to receive them.
Governor Wells had his say some days since about
the constitution, and the President has heard also
Mr.. Gilbert Q. walker, who is the candidate for Gov
ernor Of the other wing Of the republicans. The
conservative committee win ask, it is understood
for separate vote the test oath and disfranchise
ment clauses the county organization features and
the provision which denies to the Legislature power
20 pass relief or stay law for the temporary relief
Of debtors. The Presidents views are known to be
against the Acknowledgement, test oath and county
organization, and separate vote win doubtless be
given on each. On the stay law question he is I'M
committed, though IL Ia understood that the
present military order on the subject which
gives considerable relief to the debtor GLASS; was ap
proved BY him as promptly as t was tardy by John

may require. An important question still remaining
70 be settled H. whether in addition to the vote
sections the vote shall be taken on the remainder Of
the constitution or on the instrument o. O whole. IL

Nothing has been done yet towards a new regis
tration, but II Is probable the order for an erection
will be issued by the latter part OF the ensuing
week and new registration ordered at the same
time. Many whites failed to register at the last oc
cason, and there has been registration since the
autumn Of 1857 There will be addition Of TO- 900
whites to the lists and Of some thousand negroes,
but quite a. many Of the latter Will be stricken from
the lists, ana the white majority on the lists can
