Special Dispatches to n. Y. tribune
NR, LNoOLNs OAHNET.
While the atmosphere is charged with ru-
mors concerning the composition Of the
Cabinet il may be confidently stated that no
other selections have been made than
those already announced authoritaiively.
here Is an immense outside pressure
and Cabinets are constructed TO order
by newsmongers and Office seekers, Mr..
Mcclure and that set at HarTisburgh who op-
posed Mr.. Cameron, have caved in as it was
expected they would do. Mr.. Lincoln hears
patiently the representations Of all sides, and
is quite philosophical and delphic in his re-
plies. He has already earned the reputation
Of being a good listener. The only Southern
man vet seriously considered, in connection
with the Cabinet is Mr.. Gilmer RHd be re-
eeived an informal intimation more than q

PRoxPT ACTION OF P. N. GENERAL KING.
Postmaster General King has written let
Ter to Mr.. Jenkins, the representative Of the
KauaWha (Tirginia) district, in reply to Jen-
/ kins demand to know why the Department
removed the route agent between Psrkers-
/ burg mi Grafton. The following is the ma
terial point Of the letter, showing the ground
firmly occupied by the Postmaster General
I toward secession:
al have TO inform you that Mr. West was
removed for leaving his route without per-
mission from the department aud actively
engaging in a movement the avowed object
Of which is to induce the withdrawal Of Vir-
zinia from the Union. In other words, be is
discharged for undertaking to destroy the
government from whose treasury he was
drawing the means Of daily subsistence, and
whose constitution he bad solemnly sworn TO
support"

be continued in office under the new Admin
istFation, as Assistant Postmaster General.

ating twelve hundred thousand dollars for
