SECOND EDITION. BY telegraph:. RUMORED CABINET CHANGE. Probable Settlement of Mr. Stanton. Ident. General Gherman Invited to Washington, INTERESTING FROM FORTRESS MONROE. 9 THE LATE GALES. Further Accounts of Marine Disasters. Thiilling Incidents Daring the.jStorms. The War Department. Washington, Oot. 17. —It may be trae,as stated in special despatches, that the Hon. E. M. Stanton has, in writing, requested the President to relieve him of his position as Secretary of. War, but up to noon to-day the President had received no snoh communi cation. There seems, however, to be no denbtthatMr. Stanton will soon retire from his present position. It is understood that Lieutenant-General Sherman has been in vited to Washington, and there is a strong probability that he will take charge of the War Department, for a- time at least, as he harmonizes with President Johnson in his policy of restoring the Southern States to their practical relations to the Union. From Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe, Oct. 15.—The fierce north winds, as if anxious to herald the ap proach of a stormy winter, and nnsatiated by the disastrous tidings of shipwrecks, the loss of valuable lives, and vessels daring the recent equinoctial gales, have been mustering for another heavy storm, which it is feared will prove even more fearfal than the one amidst which the Evening Star and the Queen Victoria went down. For the past three days it has been blow, ing at a fearful rate from the northeast, oc casionally veering around more to west . ward, with a cleudy sky'and frequent showers of rain. The storm has been pre vailing for a longer period outside on the coast, and vessels arriving in the harbor last evening reported it as raging almost like a hurricane. The pilot boat Maryland, of Baltimore, arrived here last evening, and reported the storm as prevail ing with great violence, the wind blowing fiercely from the northwest, and the sea breaking on the middle ground inside of Cape Henry .and in seven fathoms of water. ' All the pilot boats were anohored in the harbor this morning, unable to take their station at the Capes. The first intelligence of the disastrous effects of the storm was re ceived here this mornihg, and accounts of still farther shipwrecks and other disasters are hourly expected. The schooner George L. Green, C. W. Riche master, arrived at Noafolk this morning, leaking at the rate of five thousana.strokes per hour. She is from Georgetown, D. C., bound to New London, Connecticut, and sailed from Hampton Roads one week ago for her destination, having been anchored here for several days on account of the weather. She encountered the storm on the 9th in stant, while well up the coast of New Jersey. The'wind blew from the east northeast, and often shifted around as far as east-southeast. The schosner labored heavily with her cargo of coal, which loaded her down to within a few feet of the sea. The Bea broke over her fore and aft, bat she managed to weather the storm finely, until ahe began leaking. Ail the crew were sent to the pumps, but even their united efforts failed to keep her free of water. It Continued to gain steadily hour by by hour, and find ing it impossible to keep on their course, the captain headed his vessel towards Hampton Roads, reached here jnst in time to save from sinking. The George L. Green went to Norfolk, and will probably have to have thecargo discharged, in order to ascertain the whereabouts of the leakage. The schooner St. James, from Corpus Christi, Texas, bound to New York, put in here this morning on acconnt of the storm. She had suffered little or no damage, with the exception of split sails, etc. She re ported having spoken, yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, the schooner Sarah Evans, from Tampa Bay, Florida, bound to New York, about fifteen miles east-southeast of Cape Henry, in a disabled condition, both masts fine, and otherwise damaged. The Sarah vans had been dismasted about a week, and was endeavoring to make Hampton Roads with a jury mast and sails rigged. These facts were reported to Lientenant- Colonel Thomas G. Whytal, the Assistant Quartermaster at this post, bat as he had no steamer here thatconld go to the assistance of the disabled schooner in snch heavy wea ther, application was made to the Naval Department. At noon to-day, Admiral Rowan, of the Gosport Navy Yard, sent out the United States donhleender gunboat Lenapee,Com mander Thomas S.Phelps, which has just completed repairs and a thorough overhaul ing. 'ln the event of the schooner not being able to make this harbor, she would proba bly endeavor to make some Southern port, in which to execute the necessary repairs. , The steamer Norfolk, from Philadelphia, ’which passed by here to-day on her way to \ Norfolk was reported having seen yester day at 12 o’clock M., a brig ashore on west Inter Quarter Beach, near Concatiauo. Her sails were flying, as if she had just gone ashore, and tue sea was breaking Jover her to a great height. Her name was not as certained. This is the last vessel on the list for the present, but there are sad forebodings among the old sailors hereabouts of another series of Bbipwrecked vessels, and atten dant loss of life. The United States gunboat Lenapee, Com mander Thomas S. Phelps, above spoken,of as having been sent in search of the schooner Sarah Evans, has been .repaired at tbe Gosport Navy Yard. She was formerly stationed at Fort Royal, but until within a recent period ,waß stationed in Hampton \ Roads, having been relieved by the United ‘ States gunboat Yantic. She sails in a few days for Port Royal, S. 0., again, "and will proceed as far sonth. as Smyrna, Florida, touching on the way at Fernandina and Sa vannah. The following is a list of her officers: Commander, i Thomas G. Phelps; Lient- Commander and Executive Officer,- F. J. Naile; Navigator, George M. Smith; SnrgeOD, W. K. Van Keypen; A. A. Pay master, W. E. Rice; Chief Engineer, Geo. Gillespie; Acting Ensign, John W. Thomp son, F, C. Warner, M. M. Garman; Mid shipmen. Joel M. Wheeler and George W. Bussell. , The steamers Washington, Captain Chi chester, and Eagle No. 3, bound to N. York, arrived here from Norfolk, to-day, and are detained in the harbor on aooount of the .storm, Also the steamer James A. Gary, from Baltimore, hound to Wilmington, N. C. The New York steamer Saratoga, Capt. A. L. King, reached Norfolk last Saturday evening after a very stormy time, and.hav ing discharged the cargo and passengers for that - point started to Richmond; when off Orahey Island light, &bout midnight, she ran npon an obstruction which was_at first supposed to be apportion of the wreck of the Merrimac. but was ascertained to.be a schooner, long sunken, but,Joperated upon by the wind &nd tide* had floated down into the ship channel. The shock was quite severe, and the Saratoga, commenced to leak badly, her engines were reversed and she returned to Norfolk. Her pnmps were kept going, and the water in tne hold pumped out Her cargo was discharged by daylight yesterday morning. Between thirty or forty paokages of goods, consigned mostly to Richmond merchants, were da maged; but the injury to the cargo will not exceed $5OO. The damage to the steamer is supposed to be slight. She was sent to the dry dock aI Gosport Navy Yard, where all the repairs can be very' easily made in two or. three days. The detained passengers were accommodated at the Atlantic and National Hotels, and, together with the freight of the Saratoga, went to Richmond yesterday on the Niagara, which arrived at Norfolk about 12 M. Arrived in Hampton Roads, British brigs Rio.from New York for Baltimore; Eclipse, for New York. !

Tapia,the le gally appointed Gov. of Tamanlipas, a pri soner in the hands of General Canales, the- ’ usurping commandant of the city and. pre-. tending Governor. ■ The troops .were to seize the Treasury, and pay themselves the sum®.; long since justly dne them, arid netam the balance to such officers as General Tapia might designate. The command consisted ’ of about 175 Americans and 30 Mexicans, - well armed; and the reinforcements from citizens and Texan volunteers should have swelled the force to 300, the whole to be sup- : ported by the gunboat Chinaco, mounting , one twelve-pound rifle and a smooth boro howitzer," which had no crew except eight ■ men detailed to work the! guns. Though* Captain Osford deemed the vessel totally unfit for active service, he con sented to act with the party, At the time of starting a fearful storm prevailed, and the gunboat was driven against the ' bank, becoming immovable. She was finally gotten off and returned to her first position,. In the meantime tbe troops advanced and seized the Plaza, tbe Department Headquar ters, the Custom House, and were storming the jail, wbon, from some unaccountable cause, the order was given to fall back when tbe troops retreated on the double quick for tbe gunboat, where General Ford was lying ill. The troops were embarked, and the gun-boat steamed to a' position di v rectly opposite Brownsville. I ~ The shopkeepers at Santa Cruz famished them with liquor and they became grossly intoxicated and uncontrollable. The enemy gathered on the shore and Captain Osborn cast off his lines and headed for the American bank. Canales sent word to the American com. mander, Gen. Brown, to have the Chinaco removed, as be might have to fire into her,' and Gen. Brown ordered. Capt. 03bom to move his vessel above or below the town or into the American waters, saying that if" she was not moved insideof fifteen minutes he would cut her adrift. The engineers refusing to work and the men being in tbe condition they were, Capt, Osborn sent word to General Brown that he would surrender the vessel as a Mexican gunboat, to the authorities of the United States, leaving those authorities to decide who was justly entitled to her—Canales, a usurper, or the Juarez government. The flag was hauled down and Capt. 03- bora walked ashore. Canales, on hearing of the surrender de manded the vessel, but General Brown re fused to give her up. • The arms belonging to the troops were taken by the United States, authorities and, the men went into camp to await develop ments. Though the expedition tailed, General Tapia was released. General Hinoposa also afterwards made an unsnccessfol attempt on the town,’ and his force is Bow encamped with General Ford’s.
