The New Cabinet

The following is the latest speculation in re-
gard to Gen. Pierce's Cabinet. We clip it from
the Washington Republic:
The New CAB.NEr.-~The well informed cor
respondent X' OF the Baltimore Sun, thu discouI-
ses of the new Cabinet:
"The Cabinet of General Pierce is so far formed
that it is certain that all sections and fractions of
the Democratic party will be represented in it.
Gen. Dix will be the member from New York, and
Mr.. Medary the member from Ohio. Gen. Dix
will take the Treasury, Gas have previously an
nounced,) and Mr.. Medary will be the Postmaster
General.
"Tke Secretaryship ofState, since Senator Hun
ter has declined, will be filled either by Senator
Mason, of Virginia, Mr.. George NJ. Dallas, of
Pennsylvania, or Caleb Gushing, OF Massachu-
sets.
''Mr. Nicholson, OF Tennessee, will not accept
OF any appointment.
"1tit believed that either Jefferson Davis or J as.
Thompson, of issIssipp, will be Secretary Of
War. Having stated that paper, numerousfy
signed, in circulation, urging the appointment
OF Gov. Cobb to place in the Cabinet; i: is due
that should state also, that he has written to his
friends as follows: Il am unwilling that anything
shall be done by my friends in Washington, that
shall place me, or seem TO place me, in the att-
tude of an applicant to Gen. Pierce for place in
his Cabinet can neper consent to occupy that
position The quotation speaks for ITSELF"

WooL IN THE UNITED STArEs.-The Economist
says that by racent scientific researches on the

has been established, that the United States can
outrval the world in wool as in cotton. Thus
Spanish sheep, yielding naturally wool 1000, to
the inch, carried to England, degenerated to 900
to the inch. and brought to the United States, re-
covered 10 2,10o, or finer than the original. The

THE PACIFIC RAILRoAp.

Our present session of Congress bids fair to be
remarkable for one thing-viz: for originating and
discussing very important national projects.
One of these projects is the construction OF .
great national railway from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cifc Senator GwIN, OF California; is about to ad-
dress the country on the subject. His speech will
| undoubtedly attract general attention..
We understand that IA Pacific Railroad Bill will

Mr.. PRIcE was attached TO the United States
Navy, as Purser, for twelve years. He was
acting in that capacity on board the sloop- war

Mexico began. During the cruise on the north
west coast, Mr.. PRicE being thoroughbred law
yer. was frequently employed in matters of nego-
uatlon with the Caliornans IN San Francisco, Mon
terey, San Diego, and other places ong the Pa
| cihc coast. He was appointed Navy Agent for the
whole coast of California, and travelled on noises
and mules through the interior to the City OF MeX.
Co. Being III possession Of an English passport and
speaking the Spanish language well, he was ena-
bled to make careful observation o. the country.
The honorable gentleman returned 10 his home
in New Jersey in lS4S, and was soon after elected
to Congress. He has been very successful in rep
sentlng the interests e his constituents, having
obtained valuable appropriations for the CONNER
| cial interests of his district.
MIR. PRIcE - admirably qualified TO present and
sustain the interests of this very important bill.
1t proposes the following things
| l. To construct double track, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific.
| 2. To authorize the work directly by Congress.
B.. To prosecute It as Government work ex-
clusively.
4. Toplace its location entirely at the disposal
of the President elect, in its passage through the
national territories. ,...
8. To complete it in ten years.
6. To finish, furnish it, and start the first train
from the depot on the Atlantic to the depot the
Pacific, for 100000, 600. t'
I. To require but SIC. ooo, 900 per year for ter
years. 49,. ..,
8. To make the road pay all its cost, in ten year.
from the day of its completion.
9. To perpetrate the work, as National Road

val stores, treasure and passengers.
10 To insure the requisite stock, by the Gov

The EXPLOSION OF THE ST. JAMEs.-In the pros

James, in the United States Circuit Court, at New
Orleans, the pilot. in his examination, expressed
the opinion That there had been no actual explo-
sion of the boilers, but that persons interested in
driving the boat off the lake had filed logs Of
wood, used on board for firing, with gunpowder.
That, soon as the logs came in contact with the
fire. they exploded and displaced the boilers,
causing the crash above. There is nothing in the
testimony, as given, which would warrant the
belief that an &C. so horribly atrocious had been
committed.

Signs of Commercial Peril.

We take the following suggestive paragraphs
from Hunts Merchants Magazine for January. The
topics possess, as this time more than ordinary in
| terest
'Our merchants have never enjoyed such unin-
terrupted prosperity. Breaches Of mercha ntile
faith, Or failure 10 meet commercial engagements,
| have been almost unknown, and thus the roft-
and loss account exhibits range of entries all up
on the credit side. What next?' is the question
| asked, or anxiously considered on every side
Have we reached this height OF prosperity only 10
make our fall the more disastrous? Is the course
of commercial affairs always like the segment of
circle described bya child swing, and can there
be no progress withonta corresponding reaction?
Has the world grown no wiser with age than thus
to toll up the hill with the Certainty that the ground
will be lost again? These are thoughts which will
| come TO many during the long evenings that close
in upon the first days CT the new year.
"Thcre are, it is true, some signs OF evil porcnt.
We regard as tle most dangerous, The rapid in
crease OF new banks. The principal danger fr1m
this is not in the fact that the expenses of e
climate banking will he greatly increased, while
the profits will only be divided. Nor isl SO much
in the healthy expansion which will be c.e8ted by
the increased issue of paper money, although this
| is au evil Of great magnitude. The gieat danger
lies in the fact that the control OF the currency
and the direction of momentary affairs will pass, in
| a great measure, from the hands Of the juGcious
| and experienced, into the hands of new set of
men, too little accustomed 10 such q charge.
The new banks are managed in a great degree
| by new hand, undiScplned by former reyerses,
| and unaccustomed TO the dangers which are sue
| to be encountered. Like inexperienced mariners,
they will carry too much sail in fair weather, and
give way to loo sudden panic whan the storm
| overtakcs them. large class of the new banks;
too, are originated by borrowers instead of capital
lists, and this will add neither 10 their caution nor
stability.
"Annther Indication of evil is the rapid lorna
| ton OF new houses by young and inexperienced
clerks, who ought to be kept under the control of
wiser heads, until they fit to be trusted to
their own strength. The requisites for the sue
cesstul management of mercantile business are
greatly underrated by majority of the young men
IN this country; and the melancholy disasters with
which our commercial history in the past is so
| thickly strewed, seem 10 have no influence in de
terring the young and adventurous from embark
ing IN the same desperate enterprise. AMI many
even oil those who have some reason in setting up
| for themselves, show but little judgement of the
very outset of their career. They lay out their
schemes on scale OF magnifcence truly dazzling,
and their expenses generally in ratio inverse
to their profits. This multiplication of mercantile
houses will soon be one of the most trying of all
the assaults upon prosperity for the coming year,
