How il Was Done.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer makes the follow
ing statement:
There is no truth in the rumors of a
personal difficulty between the President
and MIR. Cameron.
Mr.. Lincoln, who has felt uncomfoFt-
ably on the subject, has written = kind
and warm hearted )etter to Secretary Cam
eron, thanking him for his services and
giving assurances of his attachment. Mr..
Chase feels deeply on the subject; he is
extremely attached to Mr.. Cameron, and
last evening the President requested him
to break the subject gently to the Secre-
tary Of War.
After breakfast Mr.. Cameron, uncon-
scious Of the impending change, went to
his Office, and was met by q messenger
from Mr.. Chase, requesting his presence
at the treasury. He went over and was
closeted with Mr. Chase an hour. When
be came out his changed manner struck
the bystanders.

MORE ABOUT THE FLEET.
New York. Jan. 81

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the
following:
The Norfolk Day book of the 18th inst
has the following: A private dispatch to
gentleman in Richmond from promi-
nent merchant in Wilmington, ~ c.,
says that fleet OF 80 vessels was at an
chor off the mouth Of the Cape Fear Riv-
err, and demonstration on Wilmington
was hourly expected. Such kilograms,
the Daybook says, should be suppressed.
They only serve to incite the people. We
have trouble enough without them to create
panic. Rumors are current in Norfolk
to-day of most startling nature. Refu-
gees reported that Roanoke Island had
been taken possession of and the two reb-
81 regiments there we're taken prisoners.

SairO, Jan. Il.
The last of the expedition into Ken.
lucky came up from Mayfeld Greek
to-day. They saw no enemy during the
return march. Only two regiments re-
NAMED encamped at the Creek-Ill, 9th
and 10th. The gunboats Essex and St
Louis are still there.
The SD H. and eth Wis. were sent to
Camp Holt to day.
The 55th H., Col. Stuart, which has
been aground near Cape Girardeau, will
arrive to night, and proceed to Camp
Holt to morrow
Two Of the gunboats went up the Ohio
to-day, TO what destination not known,
but probably to relieve the Conestago and
Tyler, the former of which will come
down from Paducah for repairs.
Three rebel gunboats came up from
Columbus TO Lucas Bend, in sight of our
gunboats at May6eld Creek. just before
| dark this evening. One OF them moved
across the river so as to get full view Of
the mouth of the creek. The Essex and
81. Louis Immediately started in pursuit
but the rebel boats retreated with such
hastea as to render it impossible to over
take them
The gunboats are still In want of near
" 1000 men. To-day~it has for the ,6rst
time been proposed to transfer the Me.
4ehahic fusiieer regiment, at Chicago
from the Army to the Navy and place
them on the Mississippi gunboats In
this way they will receive the Jay they
expected to get on enlisiing. and also be
in more desirable branch Of the service
Gen. Grant, il is understood, has written
to Gen. Halleck on the subject.
There is no news from below. The
rebels at Columbus are wonderfully quiet,
and, report says, dreadfully frightened,
since Capt. Porter of the Essex threw a
GA pound shell into their midst. Their
Notifications arc undoubtedly very strong,
Trough TIE submarine torpedo story is
probably a heax The chain cable which
they had stretched across the rivsrlis said
TO have been broken b. the floating ice
and gone to the bottom.
On the 10th inst a large meeting Of the
French residents was held in New Orleans
to devise some means Of leaving the city
and the South. A committee was appoint
ed to communicate with the federal forces
at Ship Island and Beloxi upon the sub
jeet.
The victory over Zollicoffer at Somer.
set is regarded in military circles here al
an important one, but not having any par.
ticular bearing upon the position Of the
enemy at Bowling Green, as Zollicofer
was not in position to cooperate with
Buckner, being too far east.

Washington, May 5.
SENATE-Mr. Wilson, from the Mill
tary Committee, reported back the bill to
limit the number of Major Generals and
Brigadier Generals, with an amendment
making the Major Generals 80 instead Of
20. The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Hale moved to strike out 200 and
insert $50 ss the number of Brigadicr
Generals. Z
Mr.. Wilson, Of Mass. hoped the bill
would pass. He thought $50 Brigadier
Generals enough; about 295 had been
sent in here.
Mr.. Clark thought we ought to make
the bill according to the service and not
according 70 the appointments. The
Chairman Of the Military Committee,
Wilson, thinks that $50 Brig. Generals
are enough, and yet Ne refuse TO put the
number down because We have got these
appointments here and have not manliness
enough to strike them eut.
Wilson said he thought $50 enough,
but the President and Secretary of War
seemed To think more were necessary.
Mr.. Hale, thought II would look to the
country Is If We were legislating for the
salvation Of the Brig. Generals and not
for the salvation of the country. The
bill was laid over.
