A Boston despatch to the New York Herald taye: The Tennessee is pronounced to be safe at last, at lewst the best informed of the many veteian Featuring tneu about here say so, and thtir opinion, w hen, ns at preseut, bt-ed upon careful comparison of, and almost iuevita'ile deductions from, the farts la the case, la gene rally recognized as established truth. When the vessel arrived In the stream, sho was boarded by one of the Herald correspon dents, who had an interview with her co nm in der, Captain Hodgskins, who stated that he railed from Miragonne, St. Domingo, on the 2?ih of January lai-t, and when oue dtv out lie passed wiihin nbont three miles of a very long, large, full rigged steamship, which was mot-t unmistakably an American man-of-war. She was In longitude west, seven tv three decrees tweuty minutes, and Intitule north twenty degrees, and wan steering n'rout we6t northwest. She appeared to have comn outiromSt. Nicolas Mole, and was evidently Leading towards the southern coast of (JiOa. Whtn first seen she was ("teaming along slowly and leirurtly, but the suddenly set her tails and continued more rapidly in the direction already specified. Cap tain Hodgskins say he did not hail the steamer, nor were any signals whatever shown on the man-of-war; he, of course, kne nothing about the mission of the Tennessee, and was, therefore, Ignorant of the fact that there was a prevailing alarm concerning her safety. While positive that sho must be the steamer from Which tidirgs are so anxiously awaited, he says that bo is unable to give more than a very general description. Her extreme length impressed him, but he did not notice her guns particularly, or observe that she had four main noih smokestacks. St. Nicolas' Mole, from whence she appeared to come, is at the northwest extremity of the island of llaytl. From the fact that the strange steamer seemed to be taking her time and no signals were displayed, Capt. Ilorlgklns very sen sibly reasons that everything was all right, and be has no doubt but her safe arrival will soon be reported. He reports unexceptionably fine weather, and argues from this that those ou board were leisurely enjoying themselves In looking around the St. Domingo island. The captain bad an interview with the deputy col lectors at about the same time as with the Her ald reporter, and the substance of his story was telegraphed to Secretary boutwell, and also to the Secretary of the Navy, aud the intelligence was afterwards oUicially promulgated through out the country. - Th Anxiety Increasing;. The New York Tribune this morning says: At midnight nothing further had been heard here from the Tenner-see. The despatch re ceived by Secretary Uoutwell has been the con stant topic oi conversation in an circles nere to-day, and theie are numerous conflicting opinions In regard to the identity ot the ship seen by Captain Hodgkiu. I)iiilictte of ttie despatch were sent to Admiral Porter and Sec retary Kobeson this afternoon. The former en dorsed on it, "This was the Severn." and the latter. "This was the Tennessee,'' and tbe olH cers stationed at tbe Navy Department continue in tne latter opinion. The anxiety for the safety of tbe commission Is daily increaslng.notwitbstanding tbe repented assurances of those who-e opinion in regard to the matter is supposed to be of most value that there is yet no cause for alarm, and there will be a feeling of great relief when the news of her arrival Is received. THE IMHANS. Report af the Board ot Camintaatanera-A (ood Vear'a Work Improvement ot lbs (.eaeral Condition of the Jadtana t crum.. oent fence Profitably (Secured. Tbe Board of Indian Commissioners, through Us Secreiary, Vincent Coljer, has presented its annual report to tbe Secretary ot the laterlor, who bos transmitted it to the PreslJent. The report begins by referring to the results of the lust year s labor. CONDITION OF THE INDIANS. During the past year much progress has been tnade in the improvement ot tbe condition of the Indian tribes, a deep ana widespread in terest has been awakened in the public min i in rtgard to Iudiau affairs. A great improvement ha been made in the maimer of appointing agents, selecting them from men recommended by the various Christian missionary societies, and thus U is hoped permanently withdrawn those appointed from the arena of political strife lor i aironue. TUB THREATENED W AH. Soon after the close of the last report threat f ning li dlcatious of an extensive war on the plains readied us from the agents of Osages Kiowas, Comanche. Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Sioux. During the administration of Thomas Jefferson, the solemn pledge of the Government was made to the Usages in a treaty that their unq tuu.ia remain, tne property or their nation tiulers 1'ney voluntarily relinquished or disposed of them, and all persons were strictly forbidden to disturb them in their quiet possession. Tbe Usages, however, were de ceived into signing a fmuduleut trea'.y dis posing of their lauds iu Kansas, were driven from their homes and went out on the pi tins, where they mingled with the wild tribe. Those tribes they gave such au impression of the per fidy of the whiles, as with the experience of tne Cbeyenues and Arapahoes, aud other tribes, ar d tbe failure of tbe Government to keep Its promises with the Sioux, aroused the viudietlve passions of these Indians so much that any iight additional provocation might, at any time, produce an outbreak of war. Affairs con tinued in this condition until January la-t, when the memorable Blackfeet war, or, as it was generally called, the Fleg.n Massacre," oc curred. Tbe news of this massacre spreading among the tribes, 6oon begau to show its bid effects in demonstrations of hostility bv the whole Sioux nation. Tbe War Department im mediately burned lorwara troops and made preparations to protect tbe border settlements. nOW WAS WAS AVERTED. About this time a proposition was made to tbe Secretary of the Interior by Mr. Btmjtmin Fatbam. of New York, to invite Ked I lo'il to Washington, that he might let tbe tl overnint nt hear bis side of the story. While the Secre tary was considering this proposal, a request came from Ked Cloud himself to lie allowed to come on ud see tbe "Great Father." Oue e fleet of this visit was to stop tbe threatening hostilities that have been mentioned. Another effect of this visit, and tbe "Piegau Massacre," was to ikitcn tte rutiic Interest la tbo rjl men. Not only wu the public moved, but tho attention of Congress and the Executive was railed to the subject, and much goo I rv.su ted. The immediate effect of the publication of the affair of the Fiegan trassacre was to cause the House of Representatives to strike out fie clause from the army bill transferring the In dian bureau to the War Department. EXriNDITURB OF MONET. The report tbeu goes ou to give au account of the causes which brought about tbe legislation by Congress last session which pla:ed the supervision of all expenditures of money in the Indian Office under the Indian Board, tacts which rnme to the board showing that contra-ts were being given out by the Iudiau 0;H ;e with out advertising, and at higher prions thai should have been paid, were the causes in th first Instance which led to It. The charges of Mr. Welsh, and what followeJ In onHrl ig a t investigation by Congress, are known to. the public. TERMANENT TEACH SECURED. The good impression from the just treatment of the Osages on the southern border of the plains, and of the Sioux ou the north, and the prompt delivery of the goods to Ked Cloud band, and their superior quality, with tbe effort ol the hoard that both thoe nations should be undisturbed In the possession of their lauds, so pacified these warlike tribes that au expensive w ar was averted, and tbe foundation laid for a permanent peace, if a wi-e poller continues iu belr treatment ibis looK tne time of the board till September, after which the work of the board was divided out to the Individuals. Part of their duty was to see that the"paymcnt to tfce Indians of the money appropriated by Congress was properlv made to tViem. WEST i'OiXT.

The following defense of the conduct of tin members of tbe First Class in tbe West Point Academy, in recently "running off" two of tbeir number, which bus been so universally censured, is given by oue of the class in a pri vate letter: On tbe evening of the 2d of January, a cadet of the Fourth Class, llatrd by na.i.e, desiring t. visit butler mil Jails (winch n.-iirs the same relation tj West Point cadets of bacchanalian tendances as N'oithainpinn, Chicopee, aud Beicturtowu do to alidierbt students similarly inclined), aud desirlu to sc reen btinself from t lie inevitable puulsliuient lollow lttr such a proceeding, connived wit'i bis ronru-uiate (H lickluKer) to report "all right'' to the stlillneHi Ills al'SeiiUf, wbtuli whs done.

Three of our comrades had been gullry of lying, and that, too, in Us most aggravated form. If we failed to notice It there could be no tilling where Mils luibit, so suddenly and auspiciously couinun :ed, was about to carry us. My class met together, aud after much careful deliberation it was decided th tt thtir case merited the usual punishment of running off. This was tin boyth freak, no mauifKHtaUon ou our part of jouthful, childish teellng. It was, on the contrary, 'roni i's verr uouceptiorwa most serious affair. We were about to terminate, Iu a most peremptory manner, the military career of three young men to change almost in an Instant the whole current of their lives. "Jo-vards rhm we had not the slightest hard feeling or Ul-wlll, and none regretted more than we did that we were obliged to resort to such severe measures.

Governor Morton to day called np tbe resolutions of tbe Indiana legislature nullifying the ratification of tho fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and proceeded to make a speech showing tte position of the Democratic party relative to the new ameadmcnts to the Consti tution. He argned th at the objection of the Democrats to the fifteenth amendment, to wit that it was declared and adopted before certain of the Southern States were represented In Congress, would apply with equal force to the fourteenth amendment. Tbe Trouble with the Detnerrntle Partr. he said, was that they failed to see the wrong fulness of Rebellion, hence they refused to ad mit that Rebel States had not the same rights politically as tbe loyal States. He held that the action of the Legislature of Indiana in nullify ing the amendment does not amount to any thing in point of law. It only shows the pur pose of the Democracy, ne argued that it is Inipohalble lor any Mlnle to Nullify an amendment to the Constitution alter It has been ratified by three-fourths of the States. The Democratic majority in the Legislature of In diana, and their action relative to this amend ment, did not, in bis opinion, representthe views of the people of that Stale. Ihe issue tendered by the Democratic party is that it proposes to accept nothing that has been done in tbe way of reconstruction. It has not only declared through all its con ventiens, State and National, that tbe rec n etruction acts of 1807 were unconstitutional and void, but it now asserts that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are null, and will be by it disregarded when it comes into power. Men of all parties are rotifled that the Programme 01 the Itemocrnta is revolution and retrogression. Mr. Morton charged that tbe adoption of the amendments to the Constitution were strongly opposed by the Democratlo party in and out of Congress, that the I Democratic party everywhere denied to Congress tbe right to require the late Rebel States to ratify the amendments as conditions to their restoration, and that no Democratic convention, Legislature, or leading; statesman, so far as he knew, has accepted or admitted the validity of the amendments. Governor Morton then Addared a Kvldenee the cases of Kentucky, California, and Indian 1, where Democratic Legislatures bad sought it nu lify tbe amendments to the Constitution. He closed as follows: "Wben we look at the Helen at Vlaleore la the Hants. the bitter and bloody persecution of men for opinion's cake, and at tbe ominous cloud of.nnl liflcatlon which makes the political horizon black, who will dare to say that the mission of the Republican party has been performed?" Eeuator Morton s speech made a Pralauad Meaaailea among Senators ou both sides of the chamber. 1 he Democrats were stirred to a great pitch of excitement at having revolution and retrogres sion cl arged npon their party. Messrs. Thur- man, Blair, and Bayard all arose at once to reply. Mr. Tburman was recognized by tho chair. Mr. Morton's speech Is regarded as tbe opt ning gun of the campaign of 137:3 on tho Republican side. Naval Orders. . Dsspoea (0 the Associated Prtu. Washington, Ftb. 15.

A l'OKTAS I'UXEKAL. The Obaeqtilra Over the Iteatnloa of Alice Cary Mad nud luipreaalve Scrvlcea Uad af aa Xaaarable I. lie. The funeral or Alice Cary, the poet, took p'aoe yesierdaj alti moon at the Cuurch of the Ktraugers, lu Alener street The church was Oiled with sor rowing mend, notwirhktaualug the raging atonn, aa Miss Cary was widely known aud loved lu private us well as public hie. The meiubeis or tvroia at tended In a body to participate lu the last aid rites of oue who was their urst President, and who was an active working number up to the time of her deaib. Prominent among the others present could b seen William ltnss Wallace, Hev. U. B. Frothing baui, Fanny fern, Jamea Parton, aud many othar well-known clergymen aud literary ce.ebrlr.iua. The strvleis weie commted by the Hev. Dr. Deems, -pastor of the church. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Horace Greeley, Bayard Tavlor, P. T. Bar. nil 111, Oliver Johnson, O. J. Johnson, Klehard IJ. Kimball, trauk B. Carpenter, aud Or. W. W. Hill. Ihe co ill u was of the finest rosewood, heavily mounted with silver, aud upon ihe plate was tne ascription: "Allee Cary, A. 1) 182 A. t. lafl." As the casket bearlnp the rema ns was borne Into tbe church there sounded from the nrgun the sad, 11 ournlul stralnsof the voluntary '-I know that my Jieoeeiuer itveth," from the oratorio of Tlie Menniah. '1 he choir then sang the anthem, "vi'hat Hweetiy fcioleniD Tlmughis," compost d by Miss Phoebe Cary, alter which the pastor read the laih chapter of 1st loriuihiaus. At the close or this service he said that his haart was loo full of grltf to adow of his prtachlt g any funeral sermon over tho remains of litslrltiid, and he felt as If be should be seated among the mourners instead ol standing in his pulpit lu a orcner., sonoing voice ne continued : "I can. not think ol u single word to siy to vou to-day. for all those cf jou who knew Alice Cary loved her. aud l ' these ol you w ho did uot know her I cannot tell how irue, how loving, how kind she was. aud how she suffered. I was with her mueh durtug her sutlering, uud the palms of my hands have manv Units oerue marks where she has sunk her nails In lier agony." lure tne speaker was completely over come, aLd many Bobs were heard throughout the sue U nee. Recovering his composure at last, he Sild that she was not a parishioner or bis church, but that she was a parlehiouer that came closu to bis heart; he Ion d her, aud all he could do this day was to make bis plaint over her lu common wub tne rest; she was beloved by nun and women alike, aud one of the tint things to say about her was that she had snuh a host of irieuos; tliere w as little jealousy in her publlo lite, and In her private lifts she was honored and re viled by all. Here the speaker read her'iJylug 11 j nin," commencing: 'u.ith, nrt its dark and dreadful Ilia, recede al fades awajr. lie aald there was another thing of which ha w lsliea to speak. Many of the admirers of her who bad pone were young, and like her labored witn their hands aud brain, and when they saw her poems they said: "It was so sy for her to write." This was au erroi ; Alice cary was oue wno worked hard, and one who by constant exertion had achieved lor herself tne reputation sue enjoyed through life, and w h c h would live lor tigea. At the conclusion or his rema-ks, the paitor com pleted the rentin g of the chore 1 service, alter wiiicn f e ltd was taken from the colli u aud the friends toi k their last larewell of tne rerna'iis. But the most affecting sight was when the only re maluli'g slsier 01 seven, Miss Phoehe Cary, accom panied by Ihe IUv. ItT. Deems, approached for the final leave-taking. Men turned aside to weep and Women sobbed oonvulslvely when they saw that sis ter, tow lei t nt'eily alone, kiss for tbe last time the told, dead lips of the one who had been her play mate 111 youth, and her confidant and daily com. pardon through Hie, and who wasso soou to be laid U' e'er the earth. Alter this sad ceremony the remslns were taken !n charge by the bettrers, placed iu tho hears, aud tl e mournful cortege proceeded ou Its way to Green wood, where they went dep itdted in their final rest ing place.
