MIR. Buchanan,s Cabinet.

The following constitute Mr.. BUcHASAN's
cabinet:
The following names, it is said, have been
sent to the Senate and confirmed: Secretary Of
State, Lewis Cass; Secretary Of the Treasury.
Howell Cobb; Secretary of War, John B. Floyd
Secretary of the Navy, Isaac Toucey: Secreta-
ry Of the Interior, jacob Thompson; Attorney
General, Judge Black, of Pennsylvania; Post
ma~sterageneral, Aaron V. Brown.
From what we can learn the above appoint
ments have been very popularity received
throughout the Republic. They are all men
of great abilities, whose able and conservative
minds are well known 10 the country.
Both the friends and opponents of the
President, since the election have been almost
unanimous in favor Of LEWIS CAss for Secre-
tary of State. He is unquestionably, not"
withstandipg his past antecedents on the
slavery question Of a comparative minor
character, an eminent national man, 10 whose
hands as Secretary of State. the people need
have no fears as to the honor and interests of
the country. AS we knew no mar in the
Democratic ranks Gas expressed before the
nomination. that we preferred for President to
JAMES BUCHANAN, so we know Of none in
that party whom we would rather have seen
Secretary of State than LEWIS CAss.
HOWELL COBB and JOHN B. FLoYD are also
widely known and respected for abilities or
qualities Of a national character similar to Mr..
CAss and the others, although Of fame not
so brilliant as the three names mentioned--or
at least not SO widely known 10 the people
we doubt not they are appointed for their well
known patriotic principles, and for the abilities
they can bring into their various departments.
Thus Mr.. BUCHANAN is fairly started in his
administration with the good feelings of all
parties save the Black Republican. That he
may have a calm but prosperous career, and
that his management of the Government for
the next four years, will tend TO quiet all ex-
citing questions and cement Still stronger the
nationality of the people, is our most feryent
wish.

Judge James l.. Cole.

1t will be seen under the head of announce
ments that the above gentleman, at present
Judge of the Fifth Judicial District, is can
didate for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. From our knowledge OF Judge Cole
through the representations Of the press, few
men if any are more popular than himself in
his District, and few any where in the State
superior to him as an able and successful ju-
rist. His decisions have been rema rked for
their clearness and ability, and as man his
integrity is inapproachable-his impartiality a
bye-word. The Houma Ceres thus speaks of
the Judge, on learning that it was the inten-
ton of his friends to place bis name before the
people for the Supreme Bench:
Judge Cole has received the universal praise
of our citizens for the expeditions manner with
which the business of his court has been
transacted, and the impartiality and wisdom of
his decisions, very, Uery few Of which the Su-
preme Court have thought fit to reverse. We
hope he will permit his name to be used in
this connection.

RA story has been going the rounds
in the American society of Paris, about a
young country woman, Rebecca l.,
which would form good subject for a 70
nance. Travelling in Switzerland, she be-
came acquainted with q young Russian no
bleman, the Count de C., distinguish
ed for his elegant manners and fine for
tune. The fair daughter of the new world
was captivated by the arts of her northern
lover, trusted his promises, and was deceiv-
ed and abandoned-the Russian taking
French leave and a sudden journey home,
wards. But Miss Rebecca was a woman
of spirit and moreover possessed more tact
and ingenuity than he gave her credit for,
She threw away no time in mourning for
her unfaithful adorer, but Immediately fol-
lowed him to st. Petersburg. There she
managed soon to bring her sad story to the
knowledge of the Cza,ina, whose aid she
implored. The Count who had very read
ly forgotten his Ariadne, one fine morn
ing received despatch bearing the Impe-
rial seal, and, opening it, read these words
"The Count de G., as soon as this
order is received, will repair 10 warsaw, to
the Church - in the chapel of
He will there find two witnesses, and will
be married to Miss Rebecca L."
Obedience was inevitable. As soon as
the marriage ceremony was over, the bride
groom precipiately 'sloped" without cast
ing one "longing, lingering look behind
and escaped to Odessa. The new Coun.
tess took her departure for Italy.

EE The New York Evening Post
gives an interesting account of the progress
Of the work going on in the new Central
Park in the city. 1t embraces an area Of
about seven hundred acres, and will be an
exceedingly beautiful ornament 10 the city.
The first labor is to clear the ground. The
rocks are blasted and carried to the borders
for the future fence. All the rubbish is
burnt on the spot. There is a dense growth
of bushes in the park, which are being cut
up. In these thickets, some beautiful and
valuable trees are found, principally naples
and locusts. ALI these are preserved
First gang of German botanists or gar
deners go on and decide what shall be pre-
served, and then cut down the remainder.
A second set follow them, and remove
with hooks and rakes all the rubbish, and
burnt. Then set of grubbers dig up the
roots. There is one tract of several acres,
called the Locust Grove, on which there
are some 10000 locust trees, A marsh
filled with muck has been cleared out, and
fitted with clay bottom, for use as lake,
Several living springs have been found,
which are to be conducted into this lake.
Some part of the ground is very high,
which will afford fine prospects. Summer
houses will be erected on such spots. The
time is coming when the streets near the
Central Park will be the fashionable part
of the town.
