Captain Van Vrchten brings isttera of a recent date, from the U. 8. i Hirers, in that neighborhood, which, together with the verbal'information brought, are of a very gratifying character. It is the pro vailing impression of all at Tampa Bay, that the Indians ore anxious for peace, and although they are crafty ami and treacherous thomselvrs, and sus pkiuus of croft and treachery from others, yet that they are heartily tired of the war, and that moans will bu found to produce an arrangement satisfactory to them an I tho whites.

Tho friends of the Administration in thoVirginia Legislature have been anxluus to liarvo the right to several contested seats respectively decided, before ■n election so important at that of Senator was call ed up. among tho Wbif t, and the wigwam was apparently confuson, owing to tho ini reduction of 4 bill pro posed by Mr. Adams last session, and which iltni gentleman called up this morning, antitlod “ a bill to prevent frauds on tbe revenue,” hut which is In fact tu increase lbs duties on impoilcd goods some 15 ot 23 per cent., according to the statement of Mr. Wise. Tho reception of ilia hill was objected at fiist by Mr. 1'ickens, of South Carolina, as it evidently interfered with tlie provisions of tlie com promise act. A Whig membvt from North Coruli- then moved a suspension of the mini, in order to afford Mr. Adams an opportunity of introducing tho bill, when Mr. Wise and Mr. Klunroe, of New York, gave thu old gentleman a very severe dressing about his allusions tu tlie Suuthern members, and the New York merchants. After some little confu. slon, the bill was referred to tho Committee on Manufactures, of which Mr. A. is Chairman. Tho Homo then adjourned at its us'titll dinner hour, about half past two o'clock.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S3. Accompanying this, you have the annual state ment of lh« Secretory of tho Treasury on the con dition of tho Finances, and tlie estimate* for the en suing year. The latter amount to neatly seventeen millions of dollars, the largest item being for the support of tho military. Tho Academy at West Point absorbs somo two hundred thousand dollars annually, fot the benefit of no one that I have ever beard of, save a special ft-w, consisting of the son* of members of Congress and other favorites,—a principle at war with ottr Democratic actions of equality. The minority of the Board of Visiter* last year, consisting, among others, of Mr. Medaryi tho talented editor of the Ohio Statesman, and Dr. Hagnn, editor of the Vicksburg (Mias.) Sentinel! made a report on this subject worthy of serious con sideration, in which it is charged that the only hooks furnished tlie students are those of a high Federal tune, and which tend to convey the idea that ull the power of tho Republic is centred at Washington- The report also states that thu institution has been in operation for 28 years, at no annual average ex- penso of two hundred thuUKUiul dollar*!—and that notwithstanding this, it ha* been uimblu tu fund: * sufficient officers for tlie Army. The numi-rous re signatlons of tlie West Pointers dining tlie F orida War, i* also cited to prove that but very little reli- anre is* to be place,! on their esprit du corps ' times of danger. You will find both repons on the subject in the documents attached to the Message of the President, which it herewith forwarded. A resolution calling on the Secretary of Wur for full statement of the claims against Government for borset, Sic. destroyed or uken during tbe Indian Ware* was submitted by Mr. Dawson yesterday, and passed.

Pennsylvania Banks.—The idea cannot longer be indulged, that Guvernnr Porter wOl.exetcito any lenity inward* the Bunks. If we are tu he govern, ed hy his sentiments and most positive declarations, we believe that ho will enforce resumption, and if any bank refuses to resume, it will doubtlees be con sidcred hy h m as an express forfeiture of itsrhor ler. In his address to the'eitixens of Pittsburg tail September, the Gosctnur on this subject says: “As I considered the suspension of specie pay ments extended to a lunger time titan was nccfisa- rv, 1 shall not sanction any further extension) If tite hanks cannot meet their engagemttus on the IStli nf January next, it will bu a serious misfortune, but it is one in the production of which I have hod no share, nnd far tho conicqucncu of which 1 shall fuel no official responsibility The banka themselves must answer Gir the result; far it must be perfectly obvious to the world, that any bank which cannot lltrn resume, with such notice and indulgence, will nover lie ubto to resume at all.” In regard to tlie soutlierii and southwestern banks, many of them are considered in a stete of insolven cy and hide it under ngenerel suspension. Already have advocutes sprung up for non-resumption. We hope our hunks will cumo up to th« tack and re sume, in January.

It Joes nut follow, however, that be cause he is premier, he will exercise a predominant ii fluenre in tlie cabinet of Gen. Hatrison. Mr. Cjny is to bu tho mnster spirit there. As tho derig nated successor of Gen.

Every dsy gives us fresh evhlei.ee that the great questions agitated Ly the coun'ry the currency, fi nances, Sic. are not to bo touched nt lids session.
