We learn officially, nom the Gore, that the Office
OF Secretary Of War is at eog filled by the appoint
meDt TO that Office Of L'ws Cass, who has Ter MANY
ysats filed the office OF Governor OF the Territory OF
Michigan. The, We have lite doubt, Is a gosd sp
pontne Mt IN maby respects, IL in all. Governor
Cass lie man Of abilities, OF business, and ii erary ae-
quiremennj be has been soldier, sud has soldiers
