The following named persons constitute the
Cabinet of President Lincoln :
Secretary of State—William IL Seward, of
New York.
Secretary of the Treasury—Salmon P. Chase,
of Ohio.
Secretary of War—Simon Cameron, of Penn
sylvania.
Secretary of the Navy—Gideon. Welles, of
Connecticut.
Secretary of the Interior—Caleb B. Smith,
of Indiana.
Attorney General—Edward Bates, of Mis
souri.
Postmaster General—Montgomery Blair, of
Maryland.
This Cabinet has been selected with more
immediate reference to satisfying the adverse
elements of the Republican party than with
the purpose of carrying out any specific policy.
Messrs. Szwenn and CAtinnon are ranked with
the moderate wing of the Republican party.
To counterbalance their influence, Mr. CILA§N,
a most ultra representative of radical Repub
licanism, is assigned a place. Messrs. Bates
and Blair are nominally from slave States, but
in no sense representatives of their prevalent
sentiment. As a whole, the Cabinet is a piece
of mosaic, constructed primarily with a view to
the preservation of a sectional organization.
The Great Experiment.
We are told that Mr. Isscomes administra
tion is to establish the fact that this is a Gov
ernment. This catch expression seems to be
used to cover the idea that we have a strong
central Government capable of maintaining the
Union by force, and putting down disaffection
and secession by the sword. This is what we
understand by the phrase, now so current
among the Republicans, that we have a Gov
ernment. The Federal Administration is to
illustrate this truth in some signal and start ,
ling manner. The problem as to our actually
living under a Government capable of making
war upon its own citizens is in a very short
time to be solved to our entire satisfaction,
when we are expected to breathe easier, no
matter what becomes of the Union.
There is no doubt that this is a Government,
and that it was formed by compromise, and
can only be perpetuated by the same means.—
Many years of happy experience have estab
lished this truth boyond controversy. But we
have never had occasion to test its strength upon
its own citizens, and to ascertain whether its
power would not become more imposing by
wholesale murder and fraternal blood-letting.
This we are very anxious to know, and Mr.
LINCOLN is going to test the matter by actual
experiment.
In case the experiment fails, and after a de
structive war shall have been waged against the
acceding &Mee tc induce them iv recognize
that we have a Government, without producing
the desired effect, then we suppose the fact
will be clearly established that we have not a
Government adequate to maintain its own au
thority, and Me. LTHCOLIS will forthwith abdi
cate the office of President of the United States.
How very satisfactory all this will prove !
showing us, what we already know, that we
have a Government to rule the people with
their own consent, but not to coerce them into
obedience.
The Incredulity of the North.
It is natural not to believe what we do not
want to believe. Many persons have clung to
the idea that the Southern States are not in
earnest, and that after a time all this trouble
Will blow over and the Union be stronger than
ever. We wish that we could think so. We
wish that we .could disregard the evidence of
our senses, and entertain a rational belief that
the Union is to be restored with all its former
glory. But it is impossible to disregard obsti
nate facts. We cannot close our eyes to the
actual condition of the country. We cannot
refuse to see that the Union is in the process
of revolution—that certain States have formed
a seperate and independent Confederacy, and
that certain other States, while loath to part
from us, are inevitably gravitating towards the
name en& And what is to stay the progress
of disintegration? Compromise? What hope
is there of that, after Congress has refused to
endorse the just and equitable proposition of
the - Peace Congress? 'War, coercion, subjuga
? Can force and bloodshed restore lost
confidence and make us once more a united and
harmonious people ? The suggestion does vio
lence to common sense. Blows and blood must
increase the distance between the North and
the South. Compromise having failed and war
affording no remedy, for disaffection, what have
we to depend upon for the preservation of the
Union ? Lincoln's administratiot ? It seems
worse than nklette hope that the adminis
tration of a party` Nhich produced all the es
trangement. 'of the Southern States by practi
eally ignoring their existence as parts of the
'Union, can reverse its policy and restore the
confidence that its conduct shattered. And
.particularly is this the case since Mr. Lincoln's
inaugural message makes it evident that the
Chicago platform is to be the guide for his ad-
Ministration. Can we rely upon the loyalty of
.the border States ? This is the only hope loft.;
and it is but a feeble one. If the administra
tion determines that there shall be to war,
they may stick to the Union ; but if it turns
out, as we fear, that war is to be the policy, it
Will sever the slender thread that now attaches
them to the Union.
The incredulity of the North, and especially
of the Republican party, is amazing. When it
was predicted that the election of Lincoln by a
sectional party would produce secession and
disunion, the idea was ridiculed. When South
Carolina passed an ordinance of secession, the
North still refused to accept the act as an in
dication of the temper of the South. She would
stand alone, and eventually be compelled to
sneak back into the Union. No other State
would follow her precipitate' lead. Georgia
would stick fast. Then Mississippi and Ala
bama went, and still the North refused to be
lieve. Louisiana, at all events, was true to
the Union—but Louisiana passed an ordinance
of secession without removing the prevalent
incredulity. Then Georgia, the key of the po
sition, the State of STEPHENS and JOHNSON,
wheeled into the secession line after a brief
struggle, and with the ultimate concurrence of
the very Union leaders to whom so much con
fidence was attached. These movements ought
to have removed all doubt as to the fact of
revolution, and the actual peril of the Union.
But no—the border States would stick, and se
cession finally wear itself out. Still the old
disbelief—still the obstinate refusal to look at
the danger—still the same stupid incredulity.
Hope after hope swept away without fully
arousing the Northern mind from its torpor.—
Faith in the Union still paramount to appre
hension of its danger ; and nothing done to re
move the cause of strife. Congress suggests no
adequate remedy for the evil, and Mr. Lincoln
assumes the administration of the Government
with the declaration that the Union is still un
broken, thus furnishing another evidence of
the prevailing incredulity. And there is ap
parently to be no awaking from this profound
insensibility, until the mischief is accom
plished past recall.
We cannot refuse to realize our danger. We
cannot refuse to see that secession has made
gradual and fearful progress since it was com
menced; that State after State has fallen ; and
that the struggle is continued with the advan
tages against the Union in the border States;
and we cannot see that the LINCOLN Adminis
tration has either the power or the inclination
to arrest it, and restore the harmony lost
through its agency.
WHO THEY AREAND WHAP THEY ARE
We subjoin a brief sketch of the history of
the gentlemen who are to be the "constitutional
advisers" of the President for four years :
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward is well known to the
country, and therefore it is unncecessary to say
more than that he was born in 1801. A lawyer
by profession, he has served in the New York
Senate, and has been Governor of that State.
In 1849 he was elected to the United States
Senate, -where he has ever since continued, and
where his course is well known. On Monday
evening he made a brief address to a number
of New York friends who paid their respects to
him, In the course of his remarks he said:
"The administration which you have come
here to inaugurate comes into power under
circumstances of embarrassment and peril,
never before known in the history of the re
public ; but I believe I know the character and
purposes of the Chief Magistrate ; I believe
that while he will be firm, he will also be just
to every State, and every section, and every
citizen ; that he will defend and protect the
rights and interests, the peace and prosperity,
of all the States equally and alike, while he
will practice the moderation that springs from
- virtue, and the affection that arises from pa
triotism in confederated States. Under his
guidance and with the blessing of God, I be
lieve and trust, and confidently expect; that an
administration that is inaugurated amid some
distrust and painful apprehension, will close
upon a reunited, restored, prosperous, free and
happy republic. The State of New York, the
greatest and most powerful of the States, will
lead all other States in the way of conciliation;
and as the path of wisdom is always the path
pf peace, so I am sure that now we shall find
that the way of conciliation is the way of
wisdom."
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
Hon. Salmon P. Chase is a native of New
Hampshire, born in 1808, and at an early age
emigrated to Ohio, but leaving there atter a
year's residence, graduated at Dartmouth Col
lege, N. H., and studied law in Washington
city under the celebrated William Wirt. He
sustained himself during the years of his pro•
fessional studies by imparting instruction to a
select 66661 far bays. He was admitted to
the bar at Washington in 1829, and in the fol
lowing year returned to Cincinnati and entered
upon the practice of his profession, in which he
soon rose to eminence. He was subsequently
elected a member of the United States Senate,
and - upon the expiration of his Senatorial term
he was put in nomination for Governor of Ohio,
and elected. He was again put in nomination
for Governor, and was again elected to that
position. Recently he was a second time
elected to the United States Senate, and took
his seat at the called session on Monday.
SECRETARY OP WAR.
Hon. Simon Cameron served an apprentice
ship to the printing business at Harrisburg,
and subsequently worked as a journeyman in
Washington city. In 1821, when a young man,
he declined the offer of a nomkpatton for Con.
grese ; in 1828 was Adjutant General of Penn
sylvania; in 1831 be was appointed by General
Jackson a visitor to West. Point; and in 1838 he
again declined a nomination for Congress. For
many yeaas he has been prominently identi
fied with the works of internal improvement
in Pennsylvania, and for twenty-seven years
was cashier of the Middletown Bank in that
State. He was also formerly president of the
Lebanon Valley railroad company, and presi
dent of the Commonwealth Insurance company.
(MOTET/ CRY OF THE NAVY
Hon. Gideon O. Welles, is a native of Con
necticut, and a well known contributor to the
partizan press. He formerly held the office of
postma9ter of Hartford, under Mr. Van Bu
ren's administration, and left the office soon
after the election of Gen. Harrison in 1840.
During a part of Mr. Polk's administration he
occupied an important position in the Navy
Department. Like many other prominent
Northern Democrats, Mr. Welles disagreed
with his party on the subject of the repeal of
the Missouri compromise, The territorial
question being the chief one at issue, he be
came identified with the Republican party soon
after its organization, and has since been one
of its leaders, taking a prominent part in its
conventions, State and National. He was a
delegate from the State at large to the Chicago
convention, and constituted, one of the com
mittee to proceed to Springfield with official
notice of Mr. Lincoln's nomination, He was
also one of the Presidential electors.
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
lion. Caleb B. Smith is well known in In
diana, and is reported to be possessed of a vig
orous intellect., and considerable administra
tive tact and ability. He has been frequently
a whig member of Congress, and was commis
sioner on Mexican claims. He is now aßepub-
Heart of moderate vio*.a.
POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The Hon. Montgomery Blair is a son of
Francis P: Blair, one of the editors of the
Globe, the organ of Gen. Jackson during his
administration. For several years past hehmt
resided with his father, in Montgomery county,
Md. He graduated at West Point, went to the
State of Missouri, practiced law in St. Louis,
was made judge, and was appointed by Presi
dent Pierce solicitor of claims, from which plate
he was removed by President Buchanan.--
Judge Blair is now in the prime of life, and a
warm Republican, lie is a son-in-law of the
late Hon. Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire,
and brother of Frank P. Blair,Jr., Congressman
elect from the St. Louis district.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Hon. Edward Bates was born in Goochland
county, Va., in 1793, and in the war of 1812
served as a volunteer at Norfolk. About 1814
be set out for St. Louis, and crossed- the Mis
sissippi for the first time on the 29th of April.
Here he studied very diligently in the office
of Rufus Eaton, a Connecticut man, and some
time a delegate in Congress from Missouri
Territory. Mr. Bates came to the bar in the
winter of 1816-17, and practiced with fair suc
cess as a beginner, In 1853 he was elected
Judge of the Land Court of St. Louis county,
and after serving in the office about three years
he resigned and returned again to the practice
of the law. He acted as president of the river
and harbor improvement convention which sat
at Chicago, and in 1852 acted as president of
the Whig National Convention which met at
Baltimore. In 1850 he was appointed by
President Fillmore and confirmed by the Sen
ate Secretary of War, but declined the ap
pointment for personal and domestic reasons.
Mr. Bates was complimented with the honorary
degree of L L D., in 1858, by Harvard College.
Some years before he had been honored with
the same degvec by Shurtleff College, Illinois.
HORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A horrible murder was committed in Williams
port, Pa., on the night of the 11th ult. The
particulars of the affair are as follows ;
Barney Hindley, formerly of Philadelphia,
murdered his wife, and concealed her body.
Her disappearance finally excited suspicion,
and he was arrested and committed to jail,
While in his cell he succeeded in getting a
razor from another prisoner, and partially cut
his throat, nearly severing the windpipe. His
situation was almost immediately discovered,
and a physician was called and the wound
dressed. When he became able to speak hp
stated that he had killed and buried his wife;
that be had killed her on Monday night, put
her into a meat barrel in the house, dug a hole
on Tuesday, and buried her on Tuesday night.
He offered to tell the physician where he had
buried the body of his wife, on condition that
he would not disclose it until after his (the
prisoner's) death—supposing that his suicide
was effected.
About the time that these confessions were
made to the physician the body of the deceased
WOO found buried almost in a state of nudity in
a wood-shed, about three feet under ground,
having been covered with a bloody pillow and
blanket. The shed in which she was buried
was about eight feet square, and the place
where he cut his wood previous to the murder,
and during the time she was buried. On Tues
day morning Hindley died in his cell from the
effects of the wound inflicted by himself.
TIRE GREAT EASTERN.--The annual meeting
of the shareholders of the Great Eastern was
to be held on Feb, 28, The London Express
says in regard to the vessel:
"She has been within the last few weeks
considerably altered and modified under the su
perintendence of the Directors, who are atpre
sent putting in an entirely new deck, and, in
compliance with the requirements of the Board
of Trade, bushing the screws with brass, or
rather gun-metal, bearings. No additional
capital will be required to defray the expense
of these alterations, which will be completed
by the end of the month, so that the vessel may
again go to sea in March. It is probable her
next voyage will be to New York. The three
actions which Mr. Scott Russell has brought
againSt , the company have, by order of the
Court of Common Pleas, been consolidated into
one. Mr. Russell's claim is in all £60,000.
The company have against that gentleman a
cross-action for. £lBO,OOO. Both causes will
come on for trial next term, when it is probable
they may be referred to arbitration. Mr. Hope
has resigned his seat at the Board, and as yet no
one has been nominated to succeed him."
THE MARSHALS OF FRANCE.-By the deaths
of Marshals Bosquet, Belle, and Prince Je
rome, a marshal's baton becomes vacant, al
though the number of marshals exceeds that
fixed for time of peace. According to the law
of 1839, the number of marshals is to be six in
peace, and may be raised to twelve in time of
war; but when in peace three vacancies occur,
one new nomination may be made even though
the number of marshals is more than six. There
are now ten marshals ? and all were promoted
to the dignity by the present Emperor some of
them at the time he was Prince P.resident.
BLOCKADE OF THE SOUTHERN PORTs.—A
Washington correspondent of the New York
lierald says that Lord Lyons, the British Min
ister, has officially notified our Government that
nothing short of a positive and effectual block
ade of the Southern ports will be recognized by
the English Government. All the other Euro
pean Powers, it is supposed, will take similar
action, Any attempt, therefore, on the part
of Mr. Lincoln to carry out his doctrine of
coercion, will most probably have the effect of
bringing us into collision with foreign Powers.
REPORTED HANGING OF A KANSAS OUTLAW.-
The Marshall (Saline county) Democrat learns
that Dr. Judson G. Stewart, who was tried by
a court of inquiry in Johnson county for the
murder of Miles Carey, not long since, and ac
quitted of the charge, was seen, a few days after
his release, hanging dead to a tree near Rose
Hill, Cass county. The same paper learns also,
on good authority, that this Stewart was no
less a personage than the notorious Dr. Jenni
son, the Kansas outlaw, who figured in the
Missouri border raid last November.
PLATING A PRACTICAL JOKE ON A LEGISLA
rint.E.—A Madison (Wisconsin) paper relates
that some wag entered the Assembly chamber
the other morning and set the eloek ahead
about forty minutes. It was the intention to
hold a maim of about one hour, but an the
members entered they glanced at the clock,
and instead of taking their seats broke for the
depot, leaving the, Assembly in a short time
without a quorum.
INTERESTING FROM MEX.IOO.—WO• InOre nil
vices from the city of Mexico to February 17.
The confiscation of church property was con
tinued. Of the twenty-two nunneries in the
capital, thirteen had been suppressed on the
18th, and the next day a clergy demonstration
took place, which, however, the military put
down without blood-shed. The forces of Vi
cario and Zuloaga, have been routed and dis
persed.
The incrersed number of workmen required
at the United States Armory at Springfield, to
produce 400 additional muskets per month
after the present month, have all been engaged;
and a great many men have applied for em
ployment beyond the number required. The
machinery is so perfect, and the arrangement
of the master armorer so effective that an in
erettee of 10 to 15 per cent. in the help will
suffice to produce 50 per cent, more muskets.
Leronas or DRY Goons.—The imports of for
eign dry goods at the port of New York for the
month of February have been less than half the
total for the corresponding period of last year.
The withdrawals from warehouse have been
almoet equal to the direct entries for consump
tion, and the quantity thrown upon the market
is over two millions in excess of the quantity
entered.
THE RATE OF POSTAGE TO AND FROM THE
PACIFIO.—The recently' passed Poet Route. bill
contains a section requiring ten cents prepaid
letter postage to and from the Pacific coast,
without regard to distance. All drop letters
are hereafter to be prepaid with postage stamps.
A LADY SET ON FIRE IN A VERY SINGULAR
MANNER.—On Fridry evening, a lady entered
a store in Second street, New York, for the
purpose of making purchases, when she acci
dentally trod upon a match which ignited, and
the flames communicated to her under gar
ments. The lady did not perceive that her
clothing was on firO, supposing that the warmth
proceeded from the register, until some persons
in the rear of the store discovered the fact,
rushed to her assistance and extinguished the
flames. She 'was but slightly injured, but upon
her- removal to her home was attacked with
hysterical fits of so severe a nature that fears
were entertained of her recovery.
SIEGIILAB CASE OF CATALEPSY.-A policeman
in Toronto, on Monday last, observed a man
standing upon the sidewalk, motionless and
with face distorted. On being accosted he bid
not reply, when the policeman laid his hand
upon him and found him perfectly insensible.
He raised his arm, it remained outstretched;
he bent his body, and it continued in the poli
tics he had placed it. The unfortunate man
was immediately conveyed to his home and
placed under medical care. Every sense and
faculty was apparently suspended. He after
wards revived somewhat, but at last accounts
was in a precarious condition.
A MAGNIFICENT CHARITY FINALLY DISPOSED
OF.—We learn from a report just issued by the
committee of relief of the Pemberton Mill suf
ferers, that the splendid donation of the people
of the United States for their relief, amounting
to $65,834, has been finally all disbursed for
the relief of the sufferers, and the friends and
relatives of the deceased. One more death is
recorded, that of Ellen Roach, who has never
been heard from since that fatal night, making
the total deaths 98. The oommittee have had
under their care during their ministrations 117
families and persons. For two persons incura
bly injured, life annuities have been purchased
of $350 and $4OO each.—Boston Post.
THE NBW BENATB.—The new Senate, which
convened on Monday in special session, consists
of 29 Republicans, 21 Democrats and one
American, with 18 vacant seats. The vacancies
are 2 from Kansas, 1 from Missouri, 1 from
California, and 14 from the seceded States.—
The Kansas yaoandesll, no doubt, be Ailed
by Republicans, and those from Missouri and
California, probably by Democrats. Should
the seceding Senators retrun, there would be an
Democratic majority of 6.
l'imms.—We see it stated that five tons of
wild pigeons have been shipped to the eastern
cities this season from the vicinity of Circleville,
Ohio, by one company engaged in netting the
birds.

WASHINGTON, March 6
The commissions of the new Cabinet officers
have been signed by the President, and Secre
tary Seward was the first to enter upon the
duties of his office at the State Department. It
was expected that ex-Secretary Dix would va
cate his 'office to-day, but at the request of his
successor, (Gov. Chase,) he holds over till to
morrow.
When Mr. Dix entered upon his duties, the
Treasury was literally bankrupt. There were
requisitions on his table from the Departments,
which there were no means of paying, exceed
ing $1,900,000 ; fishing bounties unpaid,
amounting to nearly $450,000, and Treasury
notes over due amounting to about $860,000,
in all, $2,700,000. These have all been paid.
Yesterday the accounts were stated in expecta
tion of Mr. Chase's entering on his duties, and
they show a balance in the hands of the Trea
surer of the United States and ,disbursing
agents applicable to the current expenses of
the Government, exceeding $6,000,000.
These, with the current receipts from the
customs, amounting to about $BO,OOO per day,
in coin, it is believed, will enable the incoming
administration to sustain itself without calling
for further loans for a considerable length of
time.
