The committee on condnct OF the war
have submitted an interesting report on
the disaster of Fredericksburg, consisting

that Burnslde's original plan was to move
suddenly on Fredericksburg, cross there
and get 80 miles on the way to Richmond

this plan failed from the non-arrivai IN

Rupture in the Cabinet.

The Washington dispatches during the
past week have been mainly taken up with
facts, rumors, and surmIses in reference to
a threatened rupture in President Lincoln

rIcksburg alarmed the republican camp,
and they felt that unless some sacrifice
was made Immediately TO appeasc the
popular Indignation sure 10 come up, and
some counter excitement evoked to engage
popular attention, the tempest would bear
down before it the whole radical reputli-
can structure. So Il Senate caucus WAS
hastily summoned, and a violent assault
made upon Secretary Seward as principal,
and on all other conservative members OF
calamities of the country. After two
days pow-wowing, the caucus consulta-
tons ended III a resolution asking the
President to reconstruct his cabinet,
mentioning no names Seward and Chase
became indignant and sent the President
their designations. The President, greatly
alarmed, met the grumblins Senators and
desired TO know whom they wanted for
victims. They told him plainly enough
they meant Seward in particular, and any
body else generally. The President tried
to reason with theIn-told them it was
not new ministers. but military success
the country wanted and he couldn't see
how Il new cabinet any more than the
present, could organize victories, &c. The
end of ii was, the President refused to act
and Seward and Chase withdrew their re-
signations. But it is said the trouble is
not all over yet.
Doubtless, a change in the cabinet could
be made that mi ght result in infinite good.
but it is not such change AS the malcon.

At the same time, Van Dorm, with
force of from 5000 TO 1000, was play ing
the same game below jackson. On Satur-
day night he dropped down or Holly
Springs and took the garrison of about
500 men prisoners after a short fight, and
destroyed half million worth Of stores.
He then moved northward TO Grand June

he also surprised and took, and is now
even threatening Memphis. which is not
strongly defended, as Gen. Sherman has
moved with the bulk of his army down to
Helena, where he is preparing the Grand
Expedition, soon to move, to open the
Mississippi.
