Gen. Cass was visited blythe President at,
the State Department to-day. Serions
attention is now given 10 southern move
ments, and great anxiety per,ades al

dominates.

resignation at Augusta was bruited
abroad, is in business there, and has not
been in active service for several years.

! have alluded to the regret felt at
Mr.. Lincolu's silence when called on for
a speech; but his friends here justify il,
on tho ground that he is not yet elected,
and speech might damage him in the
Electoral College.
The action of South Caroline mer-
chants, in refusing to pay their honest
debts in the North, is severely condemned
here. Ono agent for New York houses
passed through here yesterday, on his
return home, with 100000 worth of
claims, without having collected dollar.
Ills employer had tclegraphcd him to
return.
Speculation as TO Mr., Lincoln's Cab
met are rife in political circles. lnfor-
lnation hes been received here that

Texas, are named by prominent rcppbli-
cans as likely to be rendered Cabinet

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. II,
Affairs here are much excited, and
money is very stringent, the banks acting
with extreme caution One man on
T Saturday paid three dollars per day ior
, one Thousand dollars on good collatorals
Capital is abundant, but people are eau
tious. Stocks are DEPRECATED.
Some prominent officers Of Georgia
, and South Carolina banks here express
confidence in the Union eventually, but
think there will be much trouble before
things are permanently settled. Intolli
gent persons here from Washington say
3 the excitement there is abating, but there
is enxiety to know the Presidents pro
grSume
The western papers and western mcr
a chants here are free from apprehension
. Many Of the largest dealers report FL,
o confidence in the South, and assert thci
Willingness to sell southern merchsnte OF
the usual credit. The Virginia banks
. at Norfolk, Richmond, and elsewhere, ar,
|. putting out very little paper, and do lit
tie business. Heavy demands are mad
> on them for specie.
y All Marylanders stand firm for tn
n Union, and discountenance secession
). generally.
