Out present relation! with Enrope are deemed iHglily important and iud Interesting, nnd as Russia seems to ha a strong friendly Power, the President wai anaioas tbat tome one should act ai minister to tbe Court of St. Petersburg in whom he liadeitire confidence, who cnti ably and fairly represeal bid views, and aid oar caose in Europe, General Cameron accepted tbe ofTice of Secretary of War with ri-at reluctance, preferring to retain bis neat in tbe Senate, nud baa alwoya declared bia intention to vacate tbe place when the Interests of tbe country would allow, and be could bare a proper successor. Tbe gentleman (elected, kdwio M. Statitoo, is a worm personal friend of lien. Cameron, is from bia own State, and has accepted the position at the latler's solicitation. Mr. Stanton.it will be recol lected, was Attorney Geuerul toward the conclusion of President liucbanan'e Admin istration. Ia taking tbe arduous position he sacrifices immense private business to nerve tbe Government. Tbe appointment is popular, as it is generally conceded tbat be is a man of sterling integrity, without any political affiliations to trammel bis action in any case wbicb may come under bis supervi lion, while be will prove an able counsellor in the Cabinet, and most valuable officer in bis Department. Tbe friends of General Cameron claim that be can well afford to lay aside bis exhausting labors, having accomplished so much in the organization and equipment of tbe largest nnny ever assembled on tbe American continent. Tbe communications were sent to tbe Senate to day by the President. They were, as is customary, referred to the appropriate committees, and will probably be acted upon ia executive session to morrow. Tbe change in tbe Cabinet creates much sensation. i.a.nb's expedition. Gone.ral Jim Lane has not yet fully com. pleted tbe arrangements Tor bis expedilion tiut it is understood that, like Colonel Doni phan's celebrated march across the plains to New Mexico, during tbe Mexican war, be will strike across the southwestern border of Missouri to the lodian country, where a large force of loyal Creeks ore resisting tbe oppression of tbe rebel dominion, clear tbe country of all the minions of rebeldom, and reinforced tbus, cross the Red river into tbe northern country of Texas wbere thousands of the German settlers are only ewuitiog the appearance nf the stars and stripes,, to rush at once to arms in its defence. The results of tbe expedition cannot be over estimated, as the rebels ceo by no means make any resistance againn tbe victorious march or our aitny. It would reclaim Texas, and complete the belt of loyal Slates tbat will betn to the Confederates, end completely strangle their embryo Government. It would also Qultill the celebrated prediction about "surrounding the slave Stales witb a wall of lire."- WAbUiNGTOS, Jan. 14.

Tbe newspapers are speculating on tbe causes that indimd Secretary Cameron's retirement from the War office. We bave do doubt whatever 15 at General Cameron's policy In regard to tbe disposition of the slaves, which differed materially from those of tbe Presi dent and others of the Cabinet, was the main cause of tbe chonge. This is the view taken by tbe correspondent of Ihe New York Tri bunt and otber leading papers. Gen. Came ron,' we know, contemplated, months ago, retiring from the laborious and responsible duties of tbe War Department as soon as be could conveniently do so. Tbe Harriaburg Telegraph thus refers to thia subject : ''Among the immediate friends of tbe dis tinguished ex Secretary of War, it is well understood that be occupied tbat position with great reluctance, and tbat it nas been bis eterminatiou for a long time to retire Irom that Department as soon as ha bad accom plished all tbe good in his power, lor the immediate organization of the army and tbe future success of tbe struggle to crush tbo rebellion-. "Uefuro that resignation was accepted, President I.iuctln pressed on tbe acceptance of Secretary Cameron the post of Miuieter to Russia, made vacant hv the resignation ol Cassius M. Clay. In consideration of tbe mon.ier iu wbicb the position was tendered, and the wide field it presented for the exer cise of great abilities and experience, we un derstnud tbnt tt has been as cordially accept- d as it was tendered, and that the nomina tion of Secretary Cameron as Minister to Russia is bow before the Senate." C3Thb Franking Pritii.eok.-W e observe tbat some members of Congress persist in holding on to tbe franking privilege. Among these is Col.

We have however, made it a rule not to publish ser, moos, for reasons wbicb will suggest them selves to most of oor readers. Ca) Tbe papers cootain predictions tbat a grand move and victory is at hand. Tbe grand movement is to be simultaneous io the west, along the Atlantic coast, in tbe Gulf of Mexico, along the Potomac, in Western Virginia, and throughout Tennessee and Kentucky.

As all these divisions of the grand army of the Republic are in motion, Geuerul McClellao will advance bis standurd from the capital, astonish tbe in.nrents at Manassas at three points, and fu'ilui bis mo dest pledge that tbe war shall be short but decisive. Accounts from Washington seem to concur in the opinion 'hut an important advauue movement will soon be (nude. CT Mr. Judd, tbe editor of tbe. American Agriculturist, some lime since offered several premiums for specimens of tbe beet corn bread and corn cake, with tbe recipe for tbe making of tbe same. These specimens, 250 in number, came (rum tbe different States by express, and were exhibited and examined by a committee of Judges at tbe rooms or tbe Agriculturist, in New York, on tbe 14th ol December. We copy the following in regard to tbe awards to '.be successful competitors and the recipes. Tbe recipe for corn cuke No. 140 we have tried io our family and found excellent : CORN MKAT, IIRKAD. As the conditions of the premiuma required cheupnesa as well as fair quality, we could not take into account a large number of ex cellent loaves of "Rye and ludian," wheal Hour with meal, loaves containing eggs, etc. After selecting fifty of tbe best, aud re select ing again aud again, we nunlly decided mat Nos. 34. 24 and 198. came nearest to tbe re iiuiretneota of the offered premiums. Tbe specifications furnished were as follows I No. 34. "Take 2 quarts of corn meal, with about a pint of (thin) bread "sponge." and water enonitb to wet it. Mix io pint of wheat flonr and a table-spoonful of salt. Lei it rise, and then kueud well the second time. Rake 1 hours. TbiB loaf was of beautiful form, cot light, and was of fair quality when three or four days old. F.xcept in color end difference in tuBle, it resembled a wheat floor loaf. No. 24 "Mix 2 quarts of uew corn meal with 3 pints of warm water. Add 1 table Bponusluls of salt, 2 lablespornful of sogar, and one large tablespoon ful of hop yeast. Let it stand in a warm place & hours, to ri?e. Then add pint (oi 1J teacupful) of wheat flour and i piut of warm water. Let it rise again hours ; then pour it into a pan well greased witb sweet lard, and let it rise a few minutes. Theu bake io a moderately hot oven, 1 hours. It is best when hot." This was a beautiful, almost crustless loaf, of a pleasant sweetish taste, and good quality. The bottom part was a little heavy, as if not buked quite enough, or not raised sufficiently, but a uoinmenduble bread, and rather palatable then No. 34. Nn 108 "Take 2 auarts of white corn man I 1 latilesnoouful of lard. 1 pint of hot water. Mix tbe lard io water ; stir it wel't that it may get heated thoroughly, and add i pint oT cold water, vt nea me mixture is cool enough, add 2 well'beaten eggs, and 2 lablespooufuls of borne made yeast. Duke 1 bour, io a moderately beated oven. If for breakfast, make over uigbt." This, owing to tbe whiteness of tbe meal, and the lightness of tbe texture, as well aB ibe general appearance of the loaf, greatly resembled tbe ordinary loaf of wheateu bteud on oar tubles, and is worthy ol adoption wbeie eggs are sulhcienlly plenlilul. For taste and quulity the above three would stand in order of merit, 193, 24, 34. but taking into incouut not only tusle and quality, but cheapness and little trouble in making, or "adaplutiou to general every day family ana, we unauiuioosly awurd as follows First Premium of $10 to Dumber 31 Second Premium of $5 to number 21. Third Premium of $2 to number 1'Jrf. 1I1K WAR I KFNTt I K Y. Cincinnati. Jan. Jl.

Mr. Hughes was soon found in a staodirg posi tion, somewhat burned a'ld aull'ering frum I lie cold, his clo'hing being wet from I lie accumula tion of water in the old workings. A a soon as he was restnrod to consciousness, he pointed out where Mr. Spencer could be found. Kpon reach, ing him. they found him lying on his back, dead. He was burned; but his death was evidently caus ed by choke damp. Mr. Hughes says thnl an explosion took place in one of the old breasts w hich-lliey had enlered. about 1 1 o'clock in the morning, and that after it they clung to some timber, near each other, fear ful of ibe effects nf the choke damp, which they knew was beneath tliein. Hy mutual encourage ment they anstaiucd themselves for a considera ble length of time, in this position, until Mr. Silencer, after expressing regret at bringing Mr. Ilughea iuto the mine, said that be was to weak to hold on any longer, and fell with the tad result stated. Had Mr. Ilughea remained there much longer, he too, would havs eri-,hed, fruni cold and exhaustion. Hia escape ia truly, miraculous. Mr Spencer waa an old resident of thia County, and one of tbe best and muK energetic miners in the Kcgion. He was -rC years ol age at the time of hit death, forty eight vears of which be was engaged in mining operations, in various capaci ties. Miners Journal. (LomnmnicalAe DEATH OP HARMS PAINTER, Esq.
