The Right Of Secession AcknOwI-
edged.

By the admission of the pretended State Of
Western Virginia into The Union. the Republican
majority i'm Congress have given practical sane
ton to the right of secessiOn-the right of one
part OF State to secede from the other, and set
up on its own account Statesmen nave hitherto
held various opinions as TO the constitutional
right of State TO secede from the Federal Union,
some contending that the Union was nothing more
than n league, diSsOlyable at the pleasure of any
of the States: while Others and the majority. in
sisted that the Union was a solemn compact,
which. once entered into, could never be dissolved
except by the assent of all the parties 10 il. But
never before heard of any party contending
for the right of portion of State TO cut itself
loose from the balance without the consent of
their fellow citizens
This has been done bv the people of Western
Virginia, or portion of them and their conduct
has been sanctioned by large majority Of the
Senate and House of Representatives. For the
purpose OF putting on record the names Of the
members OF the House who voted for this revolu-
tionary and unconstitutional measure. print
the yeas and nays upon the bill for the admission
of the new State:

The work of secession and disintegration be-
gun by the fire eaters. has thus received the sane
ton Of the Republican majority in Congress.
This is but the beginning 1t is already fixed
fact that the Union is not to be restofed as il was.
Most probably il was never intended that il should
be.-[N. A. Ledger.

badly on Broadway, was literally one mass of
broken glass and jars
Strange to say that, during all this great de-
struction of property, but one citizen is known to
have been killed About $50 rebels were killed
by exploding shells but the citizens, having hid
den themselves in the cellars, escaped uninjured.
In the street fighting of last night our loss will
probably amount to $50 killed and wounded.
Col. Halls brigade of Gen Towards division
are the principal sufferers. The Massachusetts
regiments suffered more severely than the 7th
Michigan, although the latter had the advance.
Gen. Howard speaks in the highest terms of Col.
Halls brigade. and has complimented the officers
in person for their gallantry, and also that of the
troops under their command.
The British Consul was arrested last night
upon suspicion OF being rebel spy, but was in
a short time released. This morning. at the re-
quest of Gen Howard, he was again arrested, II
being now positively known that he has secreted
and entertained armed rebels in his house, and
then aided them in their escape.
Only one citizen out of the many families who
took refuge in cellars from bombardment was
killed, though the houses above were often shat
tered by shot and shell.

Rumored cabinet Changes.

The telegraph reports that rumors OF Cabinet
changes are current in Washington. At n meet
ing of Republican Senators, by vote of l6 to
Is. the President was requested to remove Mr..
SEWARD. Subsequently, by an unanimous vote,
he was requested to reconstruct his entire Cabi-
net. If such a meeting was held. it will explain
the reason why Mr.. SEWARD aud his son, who is
acting as Assistan Secretary of State, have ten
dered their designations, and requested their inn
mediate acceptance The vote of the Republican
Senators could not be regarded otherwise by Mr..
SEWARD than rs censure Of his course, and upon
that ground he may have rendered his resignation.
Messrs. BLAIR and BATES, who probably SYM
pathize and have acted with Mr.. SEWARD, il is
stated have also resigned These difficulties
war 1t is believed that Mr.. SEWARD has stood
by MCCLELLAN and BURNSIDE. who regarded
with disfavor by the radical Republicans, and the
support of conservative Generals is deemed by
them objectionable offeuse. If the President,
Vice President, Cabinet and the whole concern
would resign and give the people chance to gil
their places, it would be most fortunate circum
stance for the country-it would be blessing
for which the great majority Of the people would
be truly thankful.
There is no hope for settling our national 4iffi-
culties, or restoring the Union, so long as the
present party remains in power. The President
seems to have no COMPREHENSION of the state Of
the country. or the proportions Of the rebellion.
Upon hearing that Burnside had crossed the
Rappahannock on Friday night. Mr. LINCOLN is
said to have remarked "the rebellion is now vir-
tually at an end" Ii isnot reported what he re-
marked upon hearing of the reverse of Saturday
II is stated that BURNSIDE was peremptorily or
dered to "move on the enemy's works. and
like true soldier he obeyed the mandates of his
superiors. This relieves him from all response
bility for the disasters at Fredericksburg and
places il upon the parlor Generals in Washing
ton.
There is no probability that any change in the
Cabinet will be for the better. The appointment
of SUMNER to the State Department will be but
additional evidence Of the Abolition drift of the
party in power and total disregard Of the voice
Of the people expressed in the elections last
fall. The people no longer govern--they are
governed.
