Apply trims distely to GEO. BERGNER & CO. Cameron and Bates. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser . arongly endorses the selection, by Presi dent LINCOLN, of BOIL SIMON CAMERON and Hon. EDWARD BATES, as members of his Cabinet, and says that, "if we are to take these representative names as an in dication of the general character of Mr. LINCOLN'S Cabinet, be will have a gov. ernment not only distinguished for integ rity and respectability, but such a one as will allay the storm of sectionalism, and form, of itself, a guaranty of fidelity to the Constitution. Mr. LINCOLN can speak to the country as well in the formation of a Cabinet as in his inaugural." The Republican papers generally of Pennsylvania, and other Northern States, speak out in equally strong terms of com mendation of the appointment of Messrs. CastErtoN and BATES, and compliment the President elect for his exercise of sound judgment in calling around him such competent, reliable and popular ad visers. The appointment of Gen. CAM ERON, as the Pennsylvania member of the Cabinet, is the most judicious and satis factory that could be made. The Williamsport Press says : " The appointment of Mr. CAMERON to a posi tion in the Cabinet of the incoming Na tional Administration, is universally ap proved of by all parties in the Old Key stone. Mr. CAMERON'S great moral worth, personal popularity, and financial abilities, will do much to harmonize the partizan conflicts of disunion, as well as bring or der out' of the chaos into which the monetary affairs of the government have been precipitated. Old Abe, in this se- ' lection, gives us assurance that he will gather around him the right material with which to carry on an eminently suc cessful administration." The Sunbury American, a Demooratio paper, says: "The appointment of Gen. CAMERON to the office of Secretary of the Treasury, is one of the greatest import ance to Pennsylvania. In financial ability the General is acknowledged to be one of the ablest men in the State. His appoint ment is also a concession in favor of the great manufacturing interests'of Pennsyl vania, and a tariff that will inspire new life and vigor into our coal and ironinter eats, will be the result." The Uniontown American Standard says of Gen. CAMERON'S appointment : "No man in the Union—certainly no man in Pennsylvania—is better qualified to pre side over the financial department of the Government, than Gen. Cam.v.non. With the Government bankrupt, the Treasury robbed ; and its resources crippled, it will require no ordinary financier to resuscitate the dead carcass of what was once a live and powerful machine. It is due to Penn• sylvania, whose interests are so directly identified with a protective tariff, that a friend of that measure should occupy the position assigned to Gen. CAMERON. We repeat, therefore, our high gratification at the judicious selection made by the in coming President." The Reading Jurnal says . : "The selec tion of Gen. CAMERON as a member of the Cabinet, is a most admirable one.-- No man in Pennsylvania is more popular with the masses. Conservative in his views, and identified as he is with the ma terial interests and prosperity of the whole country,' he will bring to the sup port of the incoming national administra tion a moral force and power which will be able to paatain it in any possible con tingency. The Gettysburg Star and Banner says: "HOE EDWARD BATES and Gen. CAME RON will both positively be in the Cabinet.' The selection of Gen. CAMERON reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Lincoln, and is a deserved compliment to Pennsylvania With whose interests he is so signally identified." , The Pottsville !diner's Journal says : "The appointment of Gen. Calm= as Secretary of the Treasury, is a compli ment to Pennsylvania, and important to her interests, for he is a warm friend of the Protective policy. Mr. rn will make a good Secretary, for as a finan cier he has no superior." The Philadelphia Sunday Adarsaya : "It is now very generally believed that General CAMERON has been tendered the position of Secretary of the Treasury in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, and that he has accepted it. This intelligence will be re ceived with pleasure by the people of Pennsylvania generally. Gen. CAMERON possesses qualifications which eminently fit him for the position of financial officer of the Government." Major Anderson at Fort Sumter. The Washington Constitution, which, in spite of its disclaimers, we must regard as expressing substa.ntially the sentiments of the President., has the following para graph concerning, the military movement of Major Anderson : We believe that we are , perfectly correct in stating that this action: on. . the part of Major Anderson was taken, soma . ow MS OWN RESPON sonars, and. NOT in consequence of orders from the authorities here. We have also reason to believe that it was not occasioned by any threat of attack or hostile action on the part of the people or. 'military. in Charleston, and that there wag no reason to anticipate any change in their attitude in relation to the Federal troops. Un er these circumstances, Wa musr moms owe REGRET THAT MAJOR ANDERSON SNOW.]) HAVE TA KEN MR A STEP WITHOUT °ROPES OR APPARENT NECESSITY. It would haveAbeen the one bright spot in Buchanan'a Administration, had it been proven that he approved or ordered the evacuation of Fort Moultrie. But so far trom that, we have reliable intelligence that the President recently rejected <a plan proposed by General Scott to garrison all the Southern forts, and thus strengthen the power of the government. Why Don't Mr. Lincoln Speak P The Hon. Henry W. Hillard, of Ala bgma, who served in Congress with Mr. Lincoln, and knows how groundless are all the Southern misrepresentations of his character and views, in his letter to Bel mont and others, thus silences the clamor for a soothing declaration from Mr. Lin coln : kis awned' very generally that we appre hend some immediate mischief from Mr. Lin coln's Administration ; some direct and plain interference with our rights ; and we are ap pealed to by our Northern friends to wait for some hostile demonstration on his part. We are reminded that his character is conservative —that he will see the law providing for the re turn of fugitive slaves faithfully executed ; that be does not propose to interfere with slavery in the States where it exists ; that his Cabinet will be unexceptionable, and that a majority of both houses of Congress will oppose his mea sures. Now all this may be conceded, and yet if the whole Southern-mind could be brought to yield implicit faith in these assurances, still the attitude of the Southern States would re main unchanged. It is not any apprehension of aggressive action on the part of the incom ing Administiation which rouses the Southern people to resistance, but it is the demonstration which Mr. Lincoln's election by such over whelming majorities affords, of the supremacy of a sentiment hostile to slavery in the non slaveholding States of the,Union. The Working Classes at the North. The Boston Transcript, • noticing the belief that prevails at the South, that the working classes at the North are on the brink of starvation, after stating that they have in the savings' institutions of Massachusetts forty-two or forty-tliree millions of dollars, thus alludes to the manufacturing business "Our cotton mills are now working nearly to their full capacity, with the prospect of a de mand from the west for their productions which will amply compensate for loss of southern trade. Take the whole of New England, and there are fewer mechanics and operatives unemployed than in the hard times of 1867, and there is less destitation—none, in fact, which cannot be readily relieved by the usual charitable and be nevolent, agencies. There is nothing more ab surd in the ideas of the secessionists than their insane notion that the north is entirely depen dent upon their staple for its commercial and business prosperity. • The Presidential Inauguration. The anticipations of trouble at Wash ington on the fourth of March next, are not likely to be realized. We learn:from a reliable source that the arrangements for the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln have been 'given into the hands of Gen. Scott, who will, if necessary, order a large force of the regular army to the Capital, so that if - there is in contemplation any law less proceeding on the 4th of March next at Washington, such persons.should take a second sober thought. We have also been informed that Mr. Buchanan pur poses tendering his carriage to Mr. Lin coln, and that he will accompany and be associated with him during the inaugura tion ceremonies. GEN. WOOL ON THE Onas/o.—Major General Wool, of the U. S. Army, next in command to Gen. Scott, has written several letters taking strong ground in fa vor of the Union and in favor of sustain ing Anderson, -in his position at Fort Sumter, and. earnestly urging that a firm ground be adopted to put down rebellion. He declares that if Fort Sumter be sur rendered to the secessionists, in twenty days two hundred thousand men would be in readiness to take vengeance on all who would betray the Union into the* hands of its enemies.

NOTICE. THE ATTENTION OF AND STRANGERS FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL Corrcepondence of the Telegruph.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 1851. The Republican Penrisylvanians here in Wash ington, are patiently waiting for the result .of the election of United States Senator by the Le gislature of your State on Tuesday next. As a Pennsylvanian. I share the interest, and hope entertained by my fellow-citizens for that re sult, and for the honor of the old Keystone State, as well as for the success of Republican principles, I hope that none but the purest, the ablest and most faithful of all those mentioned may be selected to fill the place about to become vacant in the Senate of the United States. The Administration of Abraham Lincoln cannot af ford the opportunity of securing the very ablest defenders and most sagacious advocates—yet it does not become any of the future counsellers of Mr. Lincoln to interfere in any way with a contest in which will necessarily be involved so much personal feeling and sectional interest by those pushing on 'the claims of favorites and of friends. Ido not aPprehend that such will be the case, and lam joined in this conviction by many of those in this city whose only inter est in the Keystone State consists in a high re gard for. the integrity of its citizens, a desire to see theta prosperous, and an earnest hope 'that their representatives will do nothing either to imperil the prospects of the - Commonwealth or impair the usefulness and stability of the Re- , publican organization, its measures and its men. Nor do I here intend, either by inuindo or in sinuation, to refer to Gen. Cameron, as I con sider his position now to be:far above any inter ference in the choice of his successor. He can afford to be neutral because he has signally tri umphed over his enemies, and he can also af ford to leave those who now seek his aid and influ ence, to the bitter assaults of that acrimony and anger which they had created to overwhelm him. While the friends of Gen. Cameron have nothing to forgive, they should impress it upon those in Pennsylvania who now crawl at their feet, that they have nothing to forget. Nothing to forget of that great struggle they have been maintaining for the last thirty years, both for the prosperity of Pennsylvania and the justifi cation and recognitio of the superior claims of their leaders. They Ila ould not forget that they belong to that great class in Pennsylvania who contribute largest to its wealth and prosperity by practical productions in the field and work shops, and whenever they yield to the ancient enemy they lose a dozen steadfast friends, whose devotion consisted of loyal confidence, and not , constant anticipation of reward. Pennsylvania has the men qualified to fill any position in her gift, or the gift of the nation, but they are not those who are constantly floating on the surface of politi6s; nor yet those who esteem themselves too highly to mingle with the masses. They are the patient, working, thinking, active and producing men of the Commonwealth, imbued with the spirit of the age in which they live; and not made meritorious by the dusty knowledge of a past age and generation. Such men we want in the Senate of the United States to represent PiiinsYlVaida: T Any other would'' be useless to themselves and dangerous to the country. The spectacle of a nation on its knees, invok ing Divine interference in its behalf, was never before equalled save when the wise men of the East sought the infant Jesus at Bethlehem, to prostrate themselves at His feet, and, proclaim. Him their Saviour and their King. The spec tacle, yesterday, was perhaps the grandest ever clisplayed by any nation, and in the history of this Republic, I trust that it may prove an - in-. cident out of which shall spring a national Sab bath for the blending of our hopes and for the most sincere invocations to that Providence without whose aid and counsel the progress of nation's as well as individuals; were as uncertain and dangerous as the wanderings of a blind man on the brink of a precipice. One prayer as cending from one peopl% beseeching their God, the Almighty Ruler of the universe, to have mer cy on than I To have mercy on them for their crimes, and darken and obliterate the memory of all their excesses. Such a day was never be fore observed by the American people—and here in the Capital it was marked with great re spect and general observance. In the House of Representative% the honorable chaplain, Rev.. Thomas Stockton, preached a masterly sermon; full of hope for those who believe in God and trust to the Union, and full of grand and noble vindication of our laws and the Con ditution. He referred to secession as an act of• treason deserving of the severest punishment, declaring that, when persuasion and reason had failed, God would justify any extreme or vigor_ ous act to preserve the power and influence of this government. He would do so, because'God was a God of Liberty—teaching freedom by His love, independence by His majesty, and brother. ly affection by His condescend= towards Man. He did not believe in allowing a small band of traitors in an insignificant State, to destroy a glorious Union of Sovereign States—nor was he willing to change his adoration and respect for the stars and stripes, for either,fear or awe for the banner of Palmetto, and until the traitors of South Carolina bad placed among the em blems on their flag, that of a rattle snake with head erect' and fangs protruding, if would be in complete and unfinished. The sermon was one of the strongest and most eloquent efforts in favor of the Union I ever heard. During its , delivery, the immense throng that crowded every accessible part of the House, its galleries; entries,-doors:and windows, were alternately moved to tears and applause. "When this ser mon is printed I shall send you a copy from which you can make extracts. - _ Mom as RIAD fie.—The following is an extract from a letter written by the pastor at a Baptist church to the "Jourzal and Idersenger,7 Cincinnati; Ohio, and speaks volumes in favor of that Wcirld-re: Downed Illedicille—airs.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE DAILY TELE GE. AP H. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS WASHD:GTON, Jan. 7. Housr..—Mr. Coss, (Ala.,) rose to a personal explanation. He said he was not present at the conference of the Alabama and Mississippi dele gations on Sa.turday, as reported in the newslia pers; he was responsible for his own acts and judgment ; but in making this remark he did not wish to reflect upon cithers. He repsesented a people who. were competent :ko speak for, them selves Mr. &T am (Ala.) said he understood the conference was on the part of Senators alone from several of the Southern States, and that no members of the House attended it. Mr. ,Coss replied that he happenot to be there, and sent no telegraphic dish to his State advising sedession. God knows that his prayers were tbr harmony in the land, and that in the event of a war the stars andstripes should be carried into the midst of our enemies. He wanted the flag to float on as long as all the States can remain in the Union as equals. He knew that a majority of his people believe they cannot have that equality, but he was for making another effort for adjustment. Gentlemen with whom be had conversed said that the*Consmittee of Thirty-three would lo something. He wished that be could feel this in his bones. He would call on Senators, as well as the Representatives, to come forward and redeye our country from its embarrassed condition. Standing on the brink of dissolu tion, should he not raise his humble voice, not only to the North but to the South, to do something to save us from our present trou bles ? If blood should be shed, a reconstruction of the Union cannot take place.' He again he sseehed gentlemen to do something. For him self, he intended to do what was right. He had told his people that the slavery question was not the only one submitted by the Republicans to the peoples Mr. Animusois, (Ark.) rose to a question of order, saying that Mr. Cobb was nos confining himself to a personal explanation. Mr. Coss acid that he asked tor no favors but what the House had granted him. He stood on his oan Mr. Ilmrerax again objected to Mr. Cobb's re merits as not henag confined to a personal ex planation. [Cries from the Republican side ofgo on.] Mr. Coss. I was endeavoring to show the re publicans that they can do something:. Mr. BasICSISAI.E, (Miss.,) inquired whether Mr. Cobb had obtained permission to make a speech on general politics or only a personal explana tion. The SPEAKER replied on a personal explana tion. Mr. BARKSDALE, (Weis.) Then the gentleman is abusing the privilege. Mr. liousrcez appealed to Mr. Cobb to let his explanation be of a personal character. Mr. Coss was very mush obliged to his col league, but he must - be governed by his own judgment. The SPEAXER requested Mr. Cobb to restrict himself to what is necessary in the way of a personal explanation. &vers.—The galleries were crowded. Hon. 0. C CLAY.; (Ala.) appeared in nis seat. Mr. listnart's resignation was received and read. Air. Tim Mak, (N.

Letcher, sent to the Virginia Legislature to-day, alluding to the cot, dition of the country, says that "all see, know and feel the danger to be imminent, and all true patriots are exerting themselves to save us from the impending perils." He renews the propositions in the last message for a Convention of all the States, and says, "it is monstrous to see a government like ours de stroyed merely because men cannot agree about a domestic institution. It becomes our State to be mindful of her own interests. If disruption is inevitable, and if confederations are to be formed, we'must have the best guarantees be fore we can attach Virginia to either." He condemns as hasty the action of South Carolina, which has taken all her southern sisters by sur prise. He would make no special reference to her course, had he not been invited to do so by her late Executive, in his uncalled for reference to Virginia. • The non-slaveholding States are chargeable for the present condition of affairs, and if the Union is disrupted, upon them must rest the solemn responsibility. He alludes at length to their aggressions, and says they have the power to end the strife and restore confi dence. Will they do it ? He awaits their re sponse, not without apprehension. He says, "our action should be based on the wrongs done to our own people." Reopposes a State Convention at this lime, and suggests that "Commissioners, composed of two of our most discreet statesmen, should visit the Legislatures that passed Personal Liberty Bills, and insitt upon their unconstitu tional repeal, excepting the New England States." Second, "that we e hive-proper effective guar antees of the protect in of slavery in the Die: trict of Columbia.",„ - Thirdly, "Our eigriality in the States and Territories must be fully recognized."
