Mr. Stewards Reclamation.

We have the authority of the Wash
ington star for SAYING that Mr Seward
has resigned the Secretaryship of State.
and that his son, the Assistance Secretary
has also resigned. These reported res
gnations are, probably, true.
1t appears that Mr.. Stewards course in
this matter has been taken in pursuance
OF the action of caucus Of The Abolition
Senators. Whether these Senators de-
sire amy other esignatiOns in the Cabinet
we are OF aware, but ii is suspected tina,
they desire to get rid of Mr.. Blair
The purpose oil these radicals is to secure
unity III the Cabinet on the Emancipation
ana other tavorite schemes, involving
the appointment of Fremont to an impor-
tant, if not the chief, rmmaNd in the
army, the blotting out of the Southern
State governments and colonizipg them
with Northern emigrants, and a general
system swindlng and robbery Of The pco.
pie, and speculation in Southern property
which the Abolitionists design 10 conlis.
cation and claim as their own.
The conservative, loyal people Of the
North have, lately, been calling loudly
tor a change in the Cabinet, but not for
such change as the radicals are aiming
al, and vii! proabbly succeed in securing,
In remains to be seen, however, what
sort of Il man Mr. Lincoln will appoint
to succeed Mr.. Seward We have little
hope Of his selecting conservative; the
radicale seem to have full possession of
him, and he is 'runnlng the maching,"
according to their direction, to dcstrcu-
tion.
We suspec. that Mr.. Seward does not
regret the opportunity thus afforded him
to escape, TO some extent, the odum
which, he has sufficient shrewdness to
!orcsae, must accompany the memory of
this Administration throughout all coming
time.
1t has been evident TO close observers
for some time past, that Mr.. Seward has
not desired the public 10 believe him
favorable to the radical policy Of Mr..
Lincoln and the majority in { Congress.-
Not because he has beon troubled with
any principle or any constitutional or
conscientious scruples in the matter, but
because he has ioreseen the Northern
wrath to come" upon the men who may
be known in the (nture as having favored
that luinous policy, Mr.. Seward has
much OF that sort Of shrewdness which
prompts rat to desert sinking ship,
and he knows that the time is not far
distant when the radicals will be crying
"for the "ocks and mountains to fall upon
lhem," to hide them from the wrath OF
an outraged people. While there is yet
"prayirg ground" for Mr.. Seward to
stand upon, he is, doubtless, quite willing
to avail himself of the opportunity to ask
public forgiyness and will, as his Albany
organ has been doing for months past,
talk conservatism by way of appeasing
his eountrymen, Mr.. Seward is wise
enough to know that the plans Of this ad-

ever was time, when such omission would
appear excusable, it is certainly now, when

Col. FREEzE,
My Dcor Sir:-Having been duly OK
changed have returned to my Battery
again, and shall cndcavor to keep YOU
posted as to our future movements.
Ere this can reach you the details Of
the great battle OF Saturday last will have
become known. 1t is impossible to con.
vey to you correct idea as to the immen
sity of the enemy's works, and The
strength of their positions. What Nature
has not dane for them elaborate art has
finished. Above Fredericksburg the Rap
pahannock is Il series of rapids which
cease at Falmouth, this prevents the con-
struction of pontoon bridges above there.
The river below is narrow aud tortuous,
but fortunately the banks are high. The
plain on which the City stands is encir.
cled by series Of wooded hills which
curve TO the river above Fredericksburg.
On this plane our forces dobouched
under Sumner on the right, and Franklin
on the left. The crossing was effected
with comparatively little loss over five
ponioon bridges. On Saturday the fght
commenced, and for bravery, endurance
and horoism on the part Of our troops
stands uncqualled. The charges were
furious and we'll sustained, but obstacle
after obstacle prevented their success. For
instance on the right the heights were
crowned with heavy guns in rodoubt, i'm
medlately IN front Of them were life pits,
and below the rife pits was a thick stone
wall, behind whi1h the enemy were safely
posted, On tho left Franklins Grand
Division fought nobly, and held the most
OF the ground they gained. Enflading
and cross fires from well posted Batteries,
however, embarrassed them at every step.
These things, though you know already.
Our loss is various'y estimated. Two
responsible army officers have told me that
our total in killed, wounded, etc, will
reach $4,000. | think that an over
estimate. 1t is impossible to judge Of the
oncmy's loss.
he "Iron Guards lost heavily, but as
the list will appear in the public papers
need not repeat Maj, Ent came off with
the loss Of his horse.
On Sunday and Monday our Army
retained its position unmolested, though
why the rebels permitted them to lie quietly
under the range Of their guns is a mystery.
On Monday night, the poontoon bridges
were sminkled with dirt 10 deaden sound,
the fires were extinguished, voices hushed
and the entire army quietly withdrew to
this side Of the river. The pontoons
have been hauled TO the rear. What is to
be done next am unable to say, and |
doubt if our Generals know. At present
we form the extreme left of Franklin's line
of artillery, and are but a few hundred
yards from the rivers bank. The Pa.
Reserves (eXcopt the Artillery have retired
to the shelter of the hills.
