intends to comply strictly with the terms Of
the circular, but will not issue the ordersfor

partinent direct, but from time to time, as
Information OF outrages is communicated,
will receive from the Attorney General the
localities wherein the military is most de-
sired, and will notify General Mcdowell to
so apportioD his command as to meet the
exigencies Of the. situation as.they may arise.
/ There are now in the southern States, eX.
elusive Of Tennessee and Texas, four regi-
ments of the army, with headquarters as fol-,
lows: The First artillery, at Charleston, S.
c.; Second infantry, al Atlanta, Ga. Third
infantry, at Holly Springs, Miss ; and Eigh-
teentb infantry. at Columbia, S. G.. As the
troubles are principally in the middle por-
ton of Alabama, the Red.rirer country of
Louisiana, and in Georgia, it is more than
PROBABLE that General Mcdowell will at once
issue orders changing the present stations Of
his command 10 a point which will cover
the localities designated.
I The following is the distribution of the
troops in the several southern States: Three
companies of the Second infantry in Alaba-
ma, six in Georgia, and one in Tennessee !;
the entire Third infantry at Holly Springs,
Miss; three companies or the Sixteenth in
fantry in Kentucky, two in Arkansas, one in
Mississippi, one in Louisiana, aud one 10
Tennessee; eight companies of the Eigh-
teenth infantry in South Carolina, and two
in Georgia; eight companies OF the First
artillery in Florida, one in Georgia,
two in South Carolina, and one in
Virginia; six companies of the Sec
ond artillery in North Carolina, one in South
Carolina, one 10 Virginia, and four In Mary
land, making the whole humber of troops in
the South about two thousand five hundred.
The Third infantry was ordered TO Louisiana
several months ago, but on account of the
warm weather and liability to fever 1t was
decided that the regiment should remain at
Holly Springs, Miss, until the fall. 1t will
now be hurried to Louisiana.
Washington Items.
WASHINGTON, September 4.-The Presi-
dent has advised Secretary Bristow to WITH
hold for the present any contemplated
change in the matter of making new ap.
pointment in the place of Supervisor Of In.
ternal Revenue Cobb, Of North Carolina.
The removal of Colonel Whitley, as chief
of the secret service division Of the Urea.
sury Department. was determined upon to-
day.
1t is claimed that Judge Williams hurried
back from Long Branch 10 avoid meeting
the southern delegations on their way
tbither, so as to deprive the action regard
ing the South of political significance. The
presence, however, of lack. Chandler, chair
man OF the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, at all the consultations which led to
the policy defeats the quick march. The
snub of the southern politicians is palpable.
Whatever good or bad may follow, the pol.
icy attaches to the Administration.
The Secretary of State has received from
Baron Van Schwarz Seubern the following
note:
" Washington, August 25, 1S74.-The
Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State:
