New YORK. Dec. 20.

New YORK. Dec. 20.
The Washington .Stuc Of yesterday
evening, says a caucus Of Republican Sen.
ators was held on tht 10th, and a resolu.
tion offered requesting the President to
dispense with the services of Seward was
( discussed. The result was sixteen in "a
vor against thirteen. On the 18th anoth-
er caucus adopted a substitute recommend
ing the, President to partially remodel his
Cabinet, which was unanimously agreed
TO-: The conservatives believed it would
be regarded as general Injunction to the
whole Cabinet to resign. On being in
formed ef the et,,lie Secretary and also
the M Assistant Secretary Of" State, sent
in {heir: designations requesting their
Immediate acceptance: J =
The Posts Washington correspondent
says: 1t is rumored this afternoon that
the entire Cabinet will retire, leaving the
freslueht Tree 10 construct a. ne" IAabinet.
This is probably incorrect, but it is not all
improbable that Mefsrs; Blair and Bates
+ have also rendered their designations. -
One Of the shrewdest politicians in Con-
gross this a morning ex pressed the hope
that the President would accept the res
igna:ions Of every man, civil or military :,
who shall offer il, with one solitary excep
ton, and that man shouleh be air: Chase.
He would not accept chAc's Resignation
in any contingency for the sake Of the na-
ton. !

The News.

lift bc true, AS reported in our late
news, that Charles Sumner takes the place
of'Seward in the Cabinet it will more than
compensate Cor Burnside's defeat, even il
it is as uiuch Of disaster as the Northern
secession press descrbezit. We do not
believe burnside went across the Kappa
1dahpock to fight tue great battle. of the
war, and the, |retreatedI~ith lofs Of even
fifteen thousand. Had he felt that til.
fate Of the nation depended on his gain
,ny victory there, he would at least. have
held Fredericksburg: He is certainly /.
loyal man and an able general and though
maybe disappointed in the strength Of the
enemy's position We feel that he did not
wilfulls eor, rashly sacrifice the lives of his
men We must believe, until the contra-
ny is proved, that he has been conccntra-
ting the rcbel'army there to give Banks
a chance to strike some place else. Banks
will certainly do. his duty, and there is
room for hoping that the Fredericksburg
fight is but part Of the campaign plan
and that its failure does not mar the whole.
We Do pot believe the Virginia army will
ever beavictoriouss until Fremont is at IT,
head, As he iinaugurated the 'emancipa-
ton policy justice demands that he should
head the emancipation army. He is the
only man who has shown 2 spark Of gen.
JUS ia this whole Wharf.-The only one who
has combined the. qualities Of statesman
ship and military leadership, Otbe.s have
crawled up to the level of popular, opinion,
he scared aloft and showed the people the
path ID victory, He touched an electric
cord in the, heart Of the public and he is
the only leader in this war who has. Now
that the administration has toiled up to
the point he started from, 1t is but justice,
to him and bis policy that he should b.
called upon to carry out his own measures.

$4,000 Bounty MONEY. THE Justices of
this county met yesterday at the Court
House and, made levy of $Io,o o'bounty
money, of which $50 is to be paid to each

pgTHE call made yesterday morning

E5rHE call made yesterday morning
for military meeting at the 4th Ward
Hose House was largely responded to-
Alex. Heatou was called to the chair, and
Thomas O'Brien appointed Secretary. The
Presidents call for 800, 900 men was read,
as also, the order prescribing draft to fill
up the quota of the States not filed up by
volunteers. In addition to this, the order
which appears in this mornings paper, for
drafting the militia TO make up an addition-
al three hundred thousand for the nine
months service.
There seemed to be disposition on the
part of the meeting to take active meas
ures 10 the matter The advantages of
the volunteer over the drafted man were
pretty freely discussed A roll was open
ened and number of names subscribed
which gives evidence that the Fourth Ward
has not forgotten her euyiable place in the
history of loyal yirginia's part in this
war. She was first to raise company in
the State of Virginia, and to prefer its
services to the General Government. We
think we have good reason for thinking
that she will again be the first to answer
the call of the President for two thousand
and eighty men from loyal West Virginia.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
same place on Wednesday evening.
