FROM WASHINGTON.

In the Senate, March Z. Mr. Wigfall delivered
speech IN response to Mr. Douglas speech yester-
day Mr. w. said that it was nonsense to talk as
Lincoln did of the unbroken Union, when seven
States were out and would never, never, never re-
turn; and that if the Government did not remove
the troops from Forts Sumter and Piekens, the
Confederate States would As for the old Union,
it remains to be whether it shall have decent
funeral or an Irish wake.
Mr. Douglas replied, reiterating that the In
augural indicates peace
Mr. Wigfall said that the attempt to collect re-
venue reinforce Fort Sumter would be consider
ed coercion
Mr. Douglas replied, that he had learned from
the best military authority that it would require
ten thousand troops and the whole American
navy.
The friends of Seward say that he is preparing
plan ct policy for the administration looking to
the preservation of peace; but fears are entertain
ed that Chase and Greeley will defeat the whole
scheme before it can be laid before the Cabinet
and ruin Seward with his party besides.
The impression here is that the new Cabinet is
too incongruous to hold together long.
1t is thought tonight that Hon. J. J. Critten-
den will be nominated for the vacant seat the
Supreme Bench, instead of Black
Major Anderson has been rendered the position
of Brigadier General in the United States Army,
lately held by General Twiggs.
WASHINGTON, March Sin the Senate, Mr. Foster,
of Connecticut offered the following:
Whereas. L. T. Wigfa declared in debate that he is
foreigner, and allegiance Texas and foreign
Government, and not to the United States therefore
Resolved, That he be expelled from the Senate
Mr. Clingman offered substitute that Texas is no
longer of the United States she is not entitled to
representative the floor of the Senate.

TUE FATE OF MEN IN PowER-Mr Bnchana

THE FATE OF MEN IN PowER-Mr Buchanan
has no offices to bestow now, and consequently he
has but few friends. Washington correspondent
aptly remarks:
at is popular to abuse Mr. Buchanan, for he
has no power, and but few friends The Republi-
cans delight to call him tyrant, knave and rogue,
and Democrats denounce him as an idiot rogue
and an imhecile. But, in sober truth, he is none
OF these, but one who, after over forty years of
public service, has made and lost more friends
than perhaps any man who ever before held pub

LINcoLN's CABINET.-The following is cor
rect list of President Lncoln's Cabinet:
Sec'y of State-Wm Fl Seward of New York.
Sec'y of Treasury-S P Chase of Ohio.
Sec'y of War-Simon Cameron of Penn.
Sec'y of Nays Wells of Connecticut.
Sec'y of Interior-C. Smith of Indiana.
Postmaster General-M. Blair of Maryland.
Attorney General-Edw'd Bates of Missouri.
The vote in the Senate confirming these APP
poiutments is said to have been unanimous for all
except Blair and Bates. In regard to the sent-
ments of the cabinet public opinion differs--some
say it is for peace, others believe it is for war.
Cameron, the Sec'y of War, is what is called a
moderate Republican, and is for peace, opposed to
coercion, judging from his course in the Senate
recently.
