THE CABINET-MR. BUCHANAN on THE REpUB
LIcAN PARrY.-The following from the Tribune
correspondent will be found interesting

A recommendation, urging Robt. T. Walker
for the premiership, signed by Messrs. Rusk,
Clay, Fitzpatrick, Reid, Biggs, Brown of Msss-
sippi, and a few others, has been sent to Wheat
land, while here, when Mr.. Walkers claims we're
passed, Mr.. Buchanan spoke kindly of him, ad
hitting his ability, his vices, and discreoiting
imputatioDs affecting his integrity during Mr..
Folks administration. 1t was then stated that
portion of the South stood ready to interpose
in his behalf, and Mr. Buchanan inquired why
it had not been done before. The inference
from this interrogatory stimulated the move.
ment, which Mr.. Hale of Michigan has mainly
managed. 5n eef. 49,. s..e .a. :
Mr.. Buchanan told Rusk that the Republican
party was dead, and the latter with others, ar.
gued that if such delusion could be entertained
others more serious might easily occur. There
seems to be a foreboding on the Democratic
side that the administration is doomed, under
fatality of the President. s-sea

IT is said that the statement in reference to .
volcano having made its appearance in Pendle-
ton CO., Va, on the great Backbone Mountain,
is true. The Cumberland Telegraph says: 1t is
o point on the mountain directly between tho
heads of the dry fork of Cheat and the south
branch of the Potomac rivers, at a place called
by the name of the ''Sinks," so called from the
depressed condition of the mountain at that
point. These ''Sinks" are funnel shaped, and
each one embraces as much as an acre Of ground.
On the first day Of January the reports caused
by the bursting forth of subterranean fire was
heard for distance of twenty or thirty miles
Vast columns of fame and smoke issued from the
orifces, and red hot stones were thrown in the
air several hundred feet above the mouth OF t he
crater. Our informant adds that the people in
| the vicinity are becoming alarmed at the perth
nacity with which the flames are kept up, and the
red hot masses of rock thrown out. A heavy
rumbling noise, like distant thunder, is continu
ally reverbera,ing through the deep caverns Of
the mountain, which at times seems to tremblt
| from summit to base.

| Bridges s~ept dray!
The rain on Tuesday last was very heavy in
| the Northern and Western part oil the State
and in portions OF Wisconsin. Rock River on
Tuesday afternoon and evening rose very rapid.
ly, and on Wednesday morning the stream ut
Sterling and below was higher than was ever
known before. About midnight on Tuesday,
the bridge OF the Air Line Road, three miles
this side OF Sterling was carried away by the
flood aud swept down with the rushing current
leaving not stone to mark the place where it
stood.
The track Of the road beyond Sterling, for
distance OF three miles, is under water, and in
places the road bed is entirely swept away
The ice is piled up the track full SIX feet high;
and still further along, toward Fulton, very Sc
riOas damage has been done to numerous cul-
verts and earth works. A passenger who came
over the road on Wednesday says that the train
stopped about i've miles west OF Sterling, and
the Passengers walked thence into town, where
they look wagons for Dixon. Capt. Turner, the
President OF the road, was on the ground en-
deavoring to get the Geographic wires again in
order over the river and across places in which
the poles were cut down by the ice, and also to
establish a ferry across Rock River for the i'm
mediate transportation OF mails, passengers and
freight.
L. is estimated that the damage to the road is
not less than $lO0,OO0, to say nothing OF the
immense destruction Of private property along
the river banks. The wagon road bridge at
Dixon has also been carried away and, AZ this
moment, the Illinois Central bridge Ut the lat
ter place, affords the only passage across the
stream, in the distance OF forty miles.
