Co From the Washington Globe, we
learn, that the Hon. LEWIS CAss resign
ed his commission as Secretary of War

for New York, preparatory to his en-
barkation for Europe. He sails in the
Quebec on the 10Th instant.
The Attorney General, B. F. Butler,is to
perform the duties of tho Department, as
Acting Secretary at War.
" Our information from Maryland
enables US to say tina! in the city of Bal
timore the Van Buren, party succeeded
on Monday last, in eecting their Dele
gates to the Assembly, by the decreased
majority of eos. At the election for
Senatorial Electors few weeks ago, they
succeeded by majority of 164l, and

fidence as if it were believed to be true
las if the man against whom it is made
were unworthy Of all public confidence
and private consideration, instead of be.

and gratitude for his high military servi-
ces. his manifold sacrifices and privatIons
on the battlefield in his country's cause,
bis distinguished civic career and great
experience as a statesman, and his unim-
peachable private life.,

columns.
O. On Tuesday evening and night
last, we had SNOW STORM here--and
had not the earth been saturated with
