Cabinet Resigna,lons. .

WASHINGTON, Dec Alt is ascertained that
the Senators who met in CAUCUS last week were
pledged to keep their proceedings secret, ex.
cepting to the President, and this they did with
more success than usually attends such delibe-
ratiopa. The Secretary of State, however,
soon heard Of the proceedings, and promptly
rendered his resignation on Friday night. The
committee from the caucus again visited the
President and remained with him and oil the
members OF the Cabinet, Mr.. Seward alone be-
ing absent, for more than four hours
The next day at noon, Secretary Chase sent
In his resignation, not merely as q matter of
form, but 10 good faith. Il Ia not known that
there Ia any objection to him on the part of the
caucus. The Representatives Of the States
were in.
PHlLADELPHIA, Dec. 2l-The Washington
Star of yesterday, says the situation here is
more Interesting and exciting just now than
any battlefield.
Washington Is full of rumors, none of which
are reliable. Half dozen States are confident
ly named in reference to members of the new
Cabinet; also that Senator Fessendenlhas been
positively rendered the State Department, but
declined, except with an entire new Cabinet.
Further, that Senator Sumner has been tender
ed the same position; and further, that ell the
Cabinet has followed the example of Mr.. Sew
ard. @ .. ...'..-'
1t is reported at ii O'Clock to-day that the
President had not accepted Mr.. Stewards resig-
nation, nor made tender OF the State Depart
ment to Fessenden, nor do we believe to any
one else. Our efforts to ascertain whether Sew
ards colleagues have rendered their resigna-
tions, have not ancceeded. We are unable to
learn whether single one he's taken that step.
The President keeps his own counsel so exclu-
sivcly that no one has received the slightest in
formation Of the manner in which he proposes
to settle the affair. -.-
Neither Mr. Seward nor ARsiatant Secretary
Seward have attended the State Department
up to noon. II is understood that they are
preparing for an early departure for New
York.
The three O'Clock edition says Mr. Chase
has rendered his resignation, and we have
every reason to believe that Mr.. Blair has
done the same. 1t appears to be universally
believed that, by nightfall, all their colleagues
will follow their example, If they have not al
ready done so.

CAIRO, Dec. 2l.-It is yet in doubt as to the
extent of the injuries done the Mobile and Ohio
railroad. The rebels first made break this
side of Jackson, then moved this way, so there
10 no chance to hear from the territory passed
over. They have taken Carroll Station, Hum
boldt, Trenton, Kenton and, at last accounts,
were moving on Union City.
At Trenton large quantities of cotton, the
station house, and other property we're burned
and at Kenton two locomotives and some cars
were destroyed.
The passenger train, from Columbus on Fri
day, was fred into, but got through to jackson
and is the last train that passed over the road
The strength of the rebels is not yet known
nor do we yet know the commander Cheatham,
Morgan and Forrest are copieotured.
49, There is great panic OF Hickman, Kentucky
They fear the rebels will make dash upon that
place. IL is reported here tonight that the
rebels have retaken Holly Springs, but there is
nothing reliable in regard to it.
The steamer Mill Boy, while taking cotton to
Commerce, Mississippi, on Wednesday last, waH
surprised by Blithe's rebel cavalry and fred up
on Three persons were killed. The Mill Boy
returned to Helena and reported the facts. The
gunboat Juliet aud transport City Belle, with
detachments Of the Eleventh and Forty-seventh
Indiana Regiments, were dispatched to Com
merce, where they arrived Thursday night, and
burnt the town and the plantations for FIVE
miles around. Ten prisoners were taken.

met. They are too vague and unreliable to
bear repetition.
The Times dispatch says we have high au-
thority for the statement that the President
himself wrote dispatch to Gen. Burnside to
use his own judgment in crossing to mako an
attack, and the dispatch was suppressed by
Gen. Halleck.
Fifteen hundred wounded arrived on Friday
evening from Falmouth, and more are expected
on Sunday. Thus far about seven thousand
have come up, and a considerable number vel
remain, but will be brought here as soon Of
possible. A good many wounded have died
since the battle.

Col. BAKsR.-Another has been added to
the already long list of heroes sacrificed to
the demon of secession. Col. Baker of the
"Glorious Second" was among the killed in
the late battle. He was true soldier and
good citizen, and has proven his devotion to
his country in many ways, and now crowns
them all by yielding up his life for it.
He was almost worshiped by his regiment,
and they will allow no opportunity to pass to
revenge his death in the most ample manner.
He will also be missed in civil life and
mourned by large circle of friends.
