GEN. PIERcE's CABrNEr.--In a few
weeks the present administration viii be
brought to close, and it is presumable
that no change will be made in the Cab
met during that time. IL not, Gen.
Pierce's Cabinet will have remained in
Office for the term of four years without
any change in either Of the departments.
Every member now holds the position
assigned to him the day the Fresiden;
assumed the reins of government. 1t is
the first instance Of the kind in the his
tory of our government. Gen. Wash
ingtcn's Cabinet remained entire through
his first term, with the exception of a
single change in the Post-office Depart
ment; and John Quincy Adams made
only one change during bis term, having
had two Secretaries of War. 1t is ahigh
compliment TO the present able Cabinet
that it has hung together so well, and
worked so tremendously for four long
years. 1t is always the desire Of Chic
Magistrate that his cabinet should be q
unit, and no one has been more fortunate
in that respect than President Pierce.

ISDEcExTLY DRUNK "A correspondent,
who has noticed the term indecently

Of magistrates, wishes to know the diff
ference between decently drunk and in

enough. A man is indecently drunk

gets drunk at home, and knows enough

The grand Jury of Cambridge reported
Saturday morning The counsel for the
Rev Mr. Kalloch-Richard II. Dana
and II. ii. Paine, Esqs. appeared in
his behalf and asked that Mr.. Kalloch
might give security for his appearance

that he (Mr. X. should first plead to
the indictment. The counsel retired to
examine the indictment, whereupon Mr..

when the clerk asked Mr.. Kalloch il
he was guilty of the charge alleged.

CABINET MAKING. The Lancaster In

in the confidence of the President elect,
in Tuesdays issue says: W E
1.-The Cabinet makers, we perceive,
are still at work, and a great many knor-
ing intimations are given out in certain
quarters as to its composition. Now for
the consolation of these busy bodies, we
will barely remark that until this mo-
ment we do not believe the President
elect, although he has his Cabinet ar
ranged in his own mind, has intimated
to a solitary individual in the Union, not
even to the gentlemen who are to COM
pose bis political household themselves,
who the favored ones are to be. AT the
proper time the announcement will be
made to the public, but not before."

THIS CHESAPEAKE AND Quo CANAL.
On Saturday last, in obedience to no.
LITIGATION from the President of the Ca
nal Board, Mr.. Maulsby, the members
of the board put themselves en- route fol
Martinsburg, Va, which, on account Of
its centrality to the whole canal, as well
as its ncarness to the chief scenes Of
damage, was chosen as fit place for o
general meeting of all the directors al
the present time. The object of the
meeting, says the National Intelligencer,
is to ascertain everything relating to the
condition Of the canal throughout, the
extent of the damages sustained and the
manner and cost of repair.
Speaking of the damage done, the
Cumberland Civilian says:
There are not such serious calami-
ties and drawbacks happening this great
work but what activity and determine
ton upon the part Of the managers can
overcome, even in the last great calamity
the washing away of dam No. g.
The amage done to dam No. 4 is
very slight, only requiring few days
repair to it. A late letter received here
from the president of tho canal, w. p.
Maalsby, who was at the scene of the
disaster on Saturday, says that about
eight feet of the top, and about 500 feet
in length, of dam No. 5, is washed
away. The president also says this
damage will be repaired before the first
day of April next; that he has force
of hands already engaged, and this num-
Der will be greatly augmented, and that
he feels confident that navigation can be
resumed at the time above mentioned"
