Especial Dispatch to the Chicago TFibunc.1
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec =, 1S6a.
Well informed parties who arrived this eve
ming direct from Washington, confirm the
te1egraphic abatement Of The dissolution Of
the Cabinet, and that the most intense excite
mcnt prevails in official circles. It Wis be-
]ieyed that the Cabinet was disorgaulzed.
All stories of the resignation Of
Gen. Burnside and the rc~appointmcnt Of
Gen. Mcclellan to the command to the army
Of the Potomac, are simply ludicrous. have
the highest authority for stating TINT no such
change is contemplated.
It has been asccrtaincd from the official re-
turns, that the aggregate Union vote in tue
eighteen States which voted this fall, is ii, 900
more than the aggregate Democratic vote.
and that the Democratic party have no where
received as many as one fonrth ofthc soldiers.
1t is also fact that thirteen out Of the
eighteen States voting this fill have Union
Legislatures, and that Of the members Of
Congress elected, the Union majority is not
less than seven. The Indiana Congressional

DEs MONIES, Der. - 1862.
The Supreme Court to-day. rendered de-
cision Involving the title to large portion Of
the land which constitutes the present site Of
the city Of McGregor. The litigants were
Janus McGlegor, jr:, and George D. Gardner
It al. Tie suit was brought in the shape Of q
bill in equity to set aside deeds Of real estate
cmbracingpar Of the site Of McGregor, exc
cuted by Alexander, as the attorney in fact Of
James McGregor, tothe respondents Gardner.
The lands we're originally purchased By Alex
ander McGregor in the name Of James and
Duncan MeGrcgor, the former protesting to
act as the agent Of the latter. Alexander Nc
Gregor, however, subsequently claimed TINT
the title to these lands was intended to be
held in trust for the use Of Alexander and lis
wife When James refused to recognize this
arrangement Alexander conveyed lis interest
in the property the Gardners, his brothers:
in Inv, to be held in trust for certain deyisees
The Court held that the conveyance to the
Gardncrs, and the deeds executed by the lat
ter, were void, and that tho title to the lands

ion was rendered br Chief Justice Baldwin :;

III the Senate yesterday Hon. Henry y.
Lane Of Indiana made one Of the most
marked efforts Of the present session sus-
taining the course Of the President and
raining hot shot upon his treaeherous and

pronounced worthy Of the paluiest days Of

In the House, the Infamous Va1landig-
ham boldly threw aside the mask and offer
ed resolution asking for the cessation Of
hosti1ities, with .proffer to tinker up the
Constitution to suit the rebels in arms

and loyal men to look sharI'ly about to
See what gives these haves this sudden
accession Of courage
Gen Burnside's official report Of the late
battle is giyen in our dispatches. It is
characterized throughout By a manly and
noble candor and f1anmess- He does not
eyade anything, openly ayows the
nevement to have been his own. Nothing
new is reported from his command.
From The field Of war in the West the
reports are Of such nature as warn US oi
1he near approach Of active hostilities
The rebels are in force, very daring, and
naturally e1nboldened by their late sue
cesses in Virginia. Rosecrans announces
that lie is ready for them
Matters in Grants department are less
clear but IN no wise Of an alarming aspect
The rebel cavalry are doing some heavy
work in raids into Kentucky: and Colu1n
7sus is reported menaced by them. We
