From the Charleston Mercury.
THE NEW ADMINISTRA-
TON.
The telegraph yesterday furnished
us with the following list, as Mr.,
Fillmore's Cabinet.
Robt. G.. Winthrop, Of Mass, Sec
rotary OF State.
Thos. nj. II. McI<ennan, of Penn,
Secretary Of The Treasury.
Sam, +. Vinton, Of Ohio, Secretary
Of the Interior
VIM. A. Graham, of North Caro-
lima, Secretary of War.
Thos. Butler King, of California,
Secretary of the Navy.
John Il. Morehead, of Kentucky,
Postmaster General.
Judge Hopkins, OF Alabama, At
torney General.
This last gentleman we arc unable
TO designate more particularly, asst
is our misfortune never to have heard
of him except vaguely. mregard to
Mr.. King, there may be exception
taken TO our designation ofhis where
abouts, and it might be urged with
some plausibility that he should be
described as 'unsctlcd,' or AT large,
but as he was a candidate tor United
States Senator from that distinguish
e. t., we have thought it but JUS
tico to give California the honor of
the appointment.
This Cabinet seems to us neither
CIay-ish nor Wcbster-ish, but simply
iFl'moro-ish. 1t is happy assort-
ment of wel-behaved, respectable
mens Of no great force, but who, by
general consent, would be held capa-
bic of managing affairs in which there
was 40 difficulty. From the not
very elevated, but still quite dignihed
head, it tapers off in just and pleasing
perspective, each succeeding mem
Der little smaller, but very like his
predecessor There is one exception
Mr. L. Butler King, who is bit OF
an eccentric; rather given to hobbies,
and very famous as q traveller.
As TO the meaning of this Cabinet
politically, we can draw no very safe
conclusions. The members of it,
from the President down, are of the
class who think clearly after the
qGestionis settled, and who define
their position when il is no longer ncc-
cssary to defend it. They are men
who can do good service, if they
have an able leader, but they origi-
nate nothing, or if anything, tits an
abortion. Providence sometimes takes
care of them, and forces or shufllcs
them upon measures that are for the
best. Their own greatest anxiety,
and the proper field of their talents,
is the taking care of themselves
This they call conservatism, and 9th
seemiy names.
Hence we do not know the opim-
ions or rule of action of one of these
men, in reference to the greatest and
most difficult questions they are to
deal with. We only know that they
will now be compelled to decide on
something, and we may be reasona-
bly, sure that in their natural reluc-
tance to do SO, they will prevaricato
and shuttle not little, and perhaps
make confusion worse contounded.
EXPEDITION TO FLoRIDA.-The
Mobile Tribune mentions the sailing
of pleasure vessel from that port
on a voyage to the Keys and Coasts
of SouthernF Florida. Prof Tuomey,
of the University of Alabama is one
of the party. They intend TO make
a scientific reconnaissance of this
coast, of which so little is know, to
ascertain its geology, botany, etc.
We shall watch the progress of this
unprctendlng little expedition of nat
urahsts withinterest. Weleam that
a party of gentlemen of this city in-
tend a similar exploration, but with
more practical views. They intend
to take their families with them, and
NJ they find a spot on the Southern
Coast which pleases them, they will
establish a colony and enter into the
culture Of tropical fruits on an ex-
