The rumor of trouble in the Cabinet,
which gained full circulation to-day, ere
ates much. excitement and Comment. Ru-
NOR, ever many-tongued, had the Cabinet
dissolved several times during the day,
though po'actual resignation took place,
and the President denied, iutthc face Of
evidence to the contrary, that there had
been any difficulty.
The fact seems to be that Messrs. Cobb.
Floyd and Thompson do not agree with
the views of the message on secession, and
insist on u compromise of views. There
will probably be no resignation Mt present.
SECESSION ECLIPsED.
The excitement touching the cabinet
troubles eclipses the secession question.
The President WAS importuned to-day,
by gentlemen of high standing, to issue a
proclamation Immediately, forcshadowinp
the views of his message, on the ground
that BY the time the message is promulga-
ted, other States will havetaken secession
steps. There will be no proclamation,
however. sIS'
TIE MESSAGE.
The message will be presented to Con-
gress on the second day of its session.
Advance copies will be sent North as far
as Boston, and South as far as Richmond,
1t is believed that the President takes
strong Union views. and will oppose seces.
sion to the bitter end.

of forty millions more, all to be derived
directly or indirectly, from domestic taxa
ton, the account becomes somewhatalarm-
ing.
Bear in mind that the revenue now
raised to carry on the Federal Government
is nearly all derived from customs. These
customs are collected, by far the greater
portion of them, in Northern sea-ports.-
The Southern Confedercy, before it could
collect any revenue, which would amount
to anything from foreign customs, must
first establish q foreign trade. This takes
time, money and credit. If it is said that
the South can at once lay dnty on GIE
importations, whether domestic or foreign
whether from the Northern States or
from Europe, the answer is-that is. only
another way of saying that the South can
tax her people from 80 to so per cent on
all the articles they consume, which are
not of their own production. Undoubt-
eddy she can; and her people, and not the
North, will have to foot the bill. But it
seems to MS that the South would soon
find it TO be paying rather dear for the
whistle.
