The Lincoln Cabinet.

Our neighbor of the Dispatch expresses
the opinion that, with but single exception,
the Cabinet Of Lincoln is made up of men
who have not the slightest sense of person
al honor. The exception is Bates, who
comes from State which will never again
acknowledge the authority of the Lincoln
government.
We fully endorse all that our neighbor
says as to the unprincipled character Of the
individuals at the head of the government
at Washington. There are gentlemen in
Virginia, of the highest character, who are
ready to swear or affirm that Seward, the
premier, willfully and deliberately lied to
them on the subject of the policy of the
administration. Cameron, the Secretary of
War, never had any character as man Of
integrity. We make this assertion on the
concurrent testimony of every Pennsylva-
nian, of every party, whom we have ever
heard speak Of "Simon Cameron" Sixteen
years ago, it was stated and believed, that
he procured his election to the Senate by
bribery and corruption. In 1856, when it
was announced that the Buchanan Democ.
racy had majority of only six in the Penn.
sylvania Legislature, the knowing ones pre-.
dicted that Cameron would buy up suf6-
cient number of members to secure his own
election. The prediction was verified 10
the election of Cameron without any diff
Guilty. His rule of action is, "every man
a man Of principle according to his interest. "
Gideon Welles, the Secretary of the Navy,
is fit representative of the wooden nut
meg Yankee nation. Thirty years ago he
played the sycophaut and toady to Mr. Cal
bouu, while on visit to Washington. aud,
after his return to Connecticut, did all he
could to prejudice the great South Carroll

RESIGNATION OF Col. MAY.-We had
information last Saturday that Col. May,
one of the most gallant officers iu the SER
vice, and who distinguished himself iu the
capture of Gen. la Vega, at Resaca de la

yesterday, we suffered the matter to pass
only as rumor, but we are now apprized
that Immediately upon the shedding of the
blood of our citizens he sent in his resigna.

resign, with studied silence; and as there
is no formal acceptance of the resignation,
the design is, no doubt, to brand as traitors

States Col. May was brevetted four times
for honorable service during the Mexican
war-in this having surpassed all other off.

An Army of Invasion.


A dispatch received last night, which WI
publish III our telegraph column, gives tht
sketch of operations of the Lincoln Govern
ment. From this it will be seen that the,
intend an invasion of our territory, b,
marching troops through the seeded States
to the relief of Fort Pickens. The route
as set forth by the Tribune, which our tele
graphic agent has deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to send US, passes through Ral
eigh, Charleston, Savannah, and Montgom
cry, to New Orleans, not the most direc
route to reach Fort Pickens.
In going from Raleigh to Charleston
this army must pass through Columbia, auc
if they succeed in getting this far, though
most of our available forces are in the ser
vice of the State, there are still women anG
children enough left to beat back any army
of subjugation that may be sent agaiut US
These men, IF they come, will come as in
cendiaries, and will be treated as SUCH
