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 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.

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.
