On Christmas the rebel garrison at Lees
burg got n gOUd drunk, and then
towards the evening, the Virginans and
South Carolinians got to alarrellinc. The
CaroiInians stignatized the Virginians as
abolition sympathizere, who were unable
to defend themselves against Lincoln
Inc NlrgInians retorted by characterizing
the Carotlnians as fire-eaters, who broke
up the Union and brought on the war
from words they came to blows. and even
10 IRE arms, and merry Christmas soon
descended on number of MANNED in the
host OF chivalry at Leesburg

Resignation of Secretary Cameron.

| The country was certainly taken by
surprise on Monday, as the telegraph
| wires flashed forth the news of the res
ignation of Secretary Cameron, his trans.
fer to the mission to Russia, and the appoin.
ment of Z. N. Stanton, of Pennsylvania,
a democrat, in his place. A rupture in the
Cabinet is always serious business with
the President, and is never resorted to
except in extreme cases, where the obec.
tionabIe member differs so radically with
his chief that to advise with him ceases
to be pleasant or profitable.
! The cause of Mr. Cameron's displace-
ment is therefore evident He had, in his
annual report to Congress, advocated a
mode Of prosecuting the war-by freeing
and arming the negroes-which it now
appears was so abhorrent to the President
that he was unwilling to share the odium
of the recommendation by longer contia-
uing Mr.. Cameron as one Of his constitu-
tional advisers. Other causes are assigned
as contributing to Mr.. Cameron displace-
ment, such as the rumors of corruption in
his department, failing health, and the
like but these are of little account The
one bold fact stands out, that he differed
radically with the President in his ultra
abolitionisnn, and for this he was invited
to step out. To make this the more
pointed and palpable, 1t is only necessary
to look at his successor. There were
Wades, and Summers and TrumbulIs, and
hosts of prominent republicans enough Of
that class eager to 60 into the war depart
ment. But the President had no use for
them. He took democrat-a very able
man, doubtless, a staunch Union man, and
in favor of n vigorous prosecution of the
war, but also conservative man, one who
is for prosecuting this war to preserve and
not destroy the Constitution,--to restore,
not to reconstruct the Union on an abol;-
ton basis.
In connection with this event, it is also
gratifying to learn that it was the act of
the President himself He took no coun-
sci of any body in the matter. He made
up his mind and then dropped Mr. Came
ron a note, softening the matter by the
accompanying offer of the mission to Rus
STA. Mr.. Cameron was "agitated," :" in
dignant," but he took the hint, and yield
ed, without struggle"
The event is one of the highest signifi-
canoe. 1t amounts to an open proclama
ton on the part of the President that he
has dissolved partnership with the ultra
abolitionists henceforth and forever, and
will trust to the loyal democracy and con-
servative men in the republican party for
support in his measures for prosecuting
the war, maintaining the constitution, and
restoring the Union. 1t is truth verified
in the history of our country, that the
party opposed to the democracy never yet
elected President who did not go out of
Office democrat. 1t was so with Tyler
and Fillmore, and it will be 30 with
Lincoln. A watchful, cavilling, powerful
opposition party in the government is
necessity; but the government cannot
be administered with safety except OF
democratic principles
