WASHINGTON, March s.

The new Cabinet was sworn into office
this morning, They have commenced to fill
vacancies occasioned by resignation. Many
of the holders of office, here and elsewhere,
knowing that they may be removed, have re-
signed.
Peter G. Washington was appointed as as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, in the
place of Mr. Hodge, resigned. Mr.. Hodge
has done much of the business of the Secre-
tary while in that place. But his successor
is man capable of taking the laboring oar.
He was, even in the time of William II.
Crawford, a prominent officer Of the Treasu-
ry.
Col. German, member of the late Con-
gress, from Illinois, and an officer of merit
in the war with Mexico, and personal friend
of Gen. Pierce, has been appointed Commits
sioner of the Land Office.
"Ben Mccullough" of Texas, has been
already appointed to the command of the new
regiment of Mounted Rangers,
The vacancies are sent to be filled, and
then, the nominations that may be agreed
upon will be sent into the Senate for places
still occupied by Wings, or what is the same
thing, by persons who hold office under the
Wing administration.
Mr.. Clayton was very prompt in bringing
before the Senate the subject of the Clayton
Buwer Treaty, and his connexion Herewith
Mr. Clayton is very able man, and seems to
have increased his energies since he retired
from office. At all events, his vindication OF
his course in regard to the treaty, his reply
to Gen. Cass' charge of the 9th January, and
to those points of Mr.. Mason's report, to
which he objected were very able, and, in.
deed, unanswerabie.

LETTER FROM GEN. HASKELL.

The Nashville Wing of the 18th contains
letter from Gen. VIM. r. HASKELL, who has
been regarded throughout the State as most
prominent for the nomination for Governor
by the Wing Convention, declining to accept
a nomination. The reasons assigned for the
step are such as will, no doubt, prove salts
factory to his many friends, however much
they desired he should be the nominee. Gen.
Haskell proved himself gallant and able
champion in the late Presidential contest,
and had he consented to accept his nomina-
ton would have been very satisfactory to the
wings of our section. The r r;.;.rr containing
his letter did rSt reach us until Wednesday
s"ening, and we are unable to publish it en-
tire. We give below an extract. After re-
ferring in handsome terms to the many soli-
citations, public and private, he has received,
and signifying that at one time he would
have accepted the nomination, he continues:
"Recent circumstances, have, however,
changed my determinations. While descend
ing the Cumberland river, from Nashville to
Memphis, on my way home, Maj. Henry came
on board the steamboat at GAINESVILLE, pas
senger, with his daughter, on the way to New
Orleans. Our meeting was entirely accden-
tai. Immediately seized the opportunity to
induce him to reconsider his publicly ex-
pressed intention, not to suffer his name TO
60 before the Convention. My urgent and
repeated solicitations so far prevailed with
him, as to cause him to confide the whole
matter, 80 far as we were concerned, to my
discretion.
| avail myself Of that confidence in my
Judgment, and request my friends throughout
the State to no longer think of me as n can
didate before the Convention. | believe, that
the whole Wing party in this State, will re-
joce Mt this opportunity of doing honor to
Maj. Henry. For without invidious distinc-
ton between him and Others, who are promi-
nently placed in reference to the highest po-
ltical honors, which the Wing party in Ten
nessee may be able to confer, it may be safely
said that there is no man among us who has
sacrificed so much for the Wing Family, and
has done 80 much service for it, unrewarded,
ms Gustavus A. Henry. | had rather see him
Governor, than be Governor myself.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin OF
Saturday, speaking Of the difficulty of asccr-
tanning precisely at present the losses incur.
red by the recent conhagration of cotton in
that city, says:
awe can say this much, and we do so ad-
visedly, that the entire quantity of cotton
consumed, is about 10000 bales, which, with
the machinery destroyed, will amount to
some 100000; that our insurance Offices are
abundantly able to meet their losses without
the least Inconvenience, and that our factors
and merchants generally have suffered no
detriment that they cannot easily stand up to.
When the accounts are rendered and made
up, the actual loss can be ascertained, and
until then, it is worse than idle to be making
conjectures."

which will instantly, by means of the spring,
adjust the rais.in their right line. This in

is to be set down at the depot near Louisiana

The Nashville Union says, having PUBLISH
ed the remarks of Col. Gentry with reference
to the conduct of Mr.. Stuart, it is but pro-
per to publish the following abstract of Mr..
Stuart's letter explaining the matter:
"The letter of the Secretary of the Inte-
rior was read, to the effect that in the month
of April, 1852, clerk by the name OF Collins
died suddenly, leaving a family in great des-
titution. While the corpse was lying in the
house, French S. Evans came into the De-
partment and represented the depressed con-
dition of the family, and asked for the APP
pointment of the son in the place of his faith
er. The boy was fifteen years of age, and
was not competent to discharge the duties
of the Office without assistance. The fami-
ly spoke to Mr.. Kane, and he undertook
iatherly supervision over the boy, and TO in
struct him in his duty and perform such parts
Of it as the boy could not, and TO receive
suitable compensation therefor. As to the
details of the arrangement, the Secretary
says he knows nothing up to the present
time, and does not know that he ever saw
the boy. He had flattcre6 himself that he
had consented to commendabe act, in saw
ing a family from want, and putting meri-
torous 10y in the way Of promotion. Col.
Gentry has fallen into several errors of fact.
So far from the boy being competent, he
could not perform the duty without aid.--
When Col. Gentry called upon him to annuI
the contract between Collins and Kane, and
he refused to do so, the family having been
parties to the contract. Kane had been their
benefnctor, and through his. aid-they had re-
ccved their support. In conclusion he chal-
Ienges the most rigid scrutiny into this and
every other act of his, and all he asks is a
full investigation, before judgment is pro-
nOunced."

A correspondent of the New York Heralc

A correspondent of the New York Herald
says
On Thursday the scene in the capitol till
midnight was awful. The rush, the crush,
and the confusion within both houses and
outside cannot be described by words. To-
wards the small hours of morning, she crowd
thinned out considerably, and both houses
diminished to few scattering members till
the votes were called when the sleepers on
the sofas, and in the side rooms were drum
med up. There was fine chance, however,
for the Galphins, for neither house appeared
to know what it was doing, while the lobby
members were wide awake. President Fill
more was in the capitol, signing bills till
after midnight. The city, all night, was in
an uproar Bands of music, rockets, artillery
and wandering strangers, with carpet bags
were to be seen at every turn. The city this
morning swarmed like beehive.
