To- According to the st. Louis correspon-
dent of the Springfield Mass Republican,
slavery as an institution in Missouri is doom
ed, all on account of the war consequent up
on secession. He says
The negro policy Of Gen Lane is having constant
illustration, aud il ought 20 satisfy all who wish "a pol

The way negroes prove their devotion to
their masters, is also we'll illustrated in the
recent brilliant exploits of Gen. Stevens in
the battle of Coosaw River, near Port Royal.
The correspondent of the New York Times
says
Indeed. negroes had furnished Gen. Stevens with

ExrRA MmEAos.-On the proposition before the
House Of Representatives at Washington TO pay the
members mileage for the Extra Session, the ques-
on being on motion 70 lay the m on me ,aoc o, the
ters recorded In the affirmative, and Hon T..
T. Waltons in the negative. The whole vote yeas
~ nays IS freeman.
The above statement, published as il is
without comment, designedly So
is calculated to give or at least may give, an
erroneous impression as to the position Of
Mr.. Walton on the question Of mileage for
the extra session Of Congress in July last.
On the face of it, as placed before the public
by the Freeman, we are given to understand
that Messrs Morrill, and Baxter are opposed
to the paying Of the mileage to the Members
for the extra session, while Mr.. Walton is in
favor of such payment This may be the case,
though it is by no means legitima einer-
ence from their votes We have no assurance
that it was a test vote on the final passage of
the resolution. Messrs. Morrill, and Baxter
may have voted to lay the resolution on the
table for the reason that they were not prepar-
ed at that time TO vote for or agaiHs, it, while
/ Mr.. Walton might have wished the matter to
be considered at once, and possibly have vot-
ed against it, or perhaps preferred its refer
ence to committee. And further, according
to the rules Of the House Of Representatives,
the objection of one member is sufficient to
prevent the introduction even Of resolution,
and either Mr. Morrill,, Mr. Baxter or Mr..
Walton might have prevented the resolutions
coming before the House at all. The motives,
therefore, that induced the opposing votes Of
the three Vermont members may have been
other than that they were in favor Of or OPP
posed to the resolution itself
The object of the Freeman in publishing
the statement above, just as he did, if we I'M
derstand it Alright, may not be so apparent to
most Of It's readers, especially those not liy-
ing in this immediate vicinity but those who
have marked the course OF that paper towards
those who did not happen to view things in
the same light with its editor, can easily con-
ceiyo the construction be designed should be
placed upon the matter as he has represented
it, and will readily understand the motive
which induced it.

MoRE REMOVALS IN rHE CABTNEr.---
The retirement of Mr. Cameron from the Ca
binet, although at first by the Geographic dis
patches made to appear as voluntary on his
part, it now appears was done at the request
Of the President, and that, according to the
~-..--re-Is-. Of tho No.v Ne.L g-....-, 90 49,
thing was wholly unexpected, and no man
was more surprised than Mr.. Cameron him
self 1t seems that the change made is who'll
ly the work OF the President. The first agi-
tation of the subject in the residents mind
occurred last Thursday. Yesterday he had
formed his conclusion, and addressed a note
20 Mr.. Cameron informing him Of it. The
note was received by Mr. Cameron last night,
and was the first iutimation he had that a
change in the Cabinet was determined on
To-day we have the teegraphic announce
ment that the Postmaster General, Montgom-
cry Blair, and the Secretary Of the Interior,
Caleb B. Smith, are removed, and that Hon.
Schuyler Colnx Of Indiana, who is chairman
Of the House committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, is 10 succeed Mr. Blair Mr..
CoIiaX was strongly urged upon the Pre.i-
dent for this position at the time Of Mr..
Blair's appointment, and is no doubt as well
qualified for the position as any man in the
country, unless we except Judge Collamer of
Vermont
( The reasons for these changes have not yet
transpired, but the announcement which ac-
companies that Of these last changes to the
effect that the formation of practical 80
financial scheme goes on rapidly, and may
now be considered as being settled, is some
what suggestive that SO long as the affairs Of
certain departments continued to be admins
tered as they have been, there was trouble in
arranging the finances Of the country, and
when the truth of the whole matter shalt
have been brought to light, we suspect that
this has had more to do with these changes
than any clashing of opinions on the slavery
question, or any other political question, be-
tween the President and the retiring mem
bors Of his Cabinet. The change was no
doubt demanded as a condition precedent by
those who were to furnish " the sinews Of
war "

There is no public document in the land

should be attached to the Constitution of the
United States and none with which the
American youth are so little acquainted Its
study in our schools and academies, therefore,
is one Of the necessities Of the day, and will
greatly contribute to right understanding OF
the organic law under which we live. This
little work is designed as a textbook OF guide
in this much needed study, and is admirably
adapted to the purpose for which it is design
ed, and should find its way into our schools,
and especially the more advanced grades and
academies, The subject is taken up in sys-
tematc manner, and by means Of questions
and answers is easily adapted to the compre-
hension Of a large proportion Of the youths
of our common schools. After the analysis
of the Constitution is appended Washington s
Farewell Address, Declaration of Independ-
ence of the United States Of America, Arti-
cles of Confederation and Perpetual Union,
together with summary statement of the
formation Of the State Governments and OF

RESIGNATION OF sECY CAMERON.

RESIGNATION OF SEC'Y CAMERON.
BY the tclegraphic dispatches which we pub
lsh to-day it will be seen that Mr.. Cameron
has resigned his position Of Secretary of War,
and that Mr.. Stanton Of Pennsylvania, who
was Attorney General in the latter part Of
Mr. Buchanan's administration, takes his
place in the Cabinet. This move has been
brought about so secretly that even the ever
watchful newspaper correspondents have Civ
en- us not the least hint that anything Of the
kind was in contemplation-an indication that
with due care on the part Of government Of
fcas, important movements can be kept from
the public knowledge the deed is ac-
tually done and his withdrawal is announced
to the country as by fash Of lightning.
We can but receive this announcement
with pleasure. The course pursued by Mr.
Cameron. and his seeming connection with
various fraudulent transactions in the army,
have done much TO destroy the confidence OF
the country in Mr. Camerons administration
Of the affairs Of the War Department, and to
raise a clamor in various quarters for his re-
moval. But it appears, if we can credit the
tclegraphc report. that he accepted the Of
fee with great reluctance, preiorring to retain
his seat in the Senate, and has always declar-
ed his intention to vacate the place when the
interests Of the country would allow" The
interests Of the country at the present time
not only would aiio,0 him to resign, but de-
manded his resignation as a means Of giving
greater confidence to the people in Mr. Lin
coins administration.
We are disappointed in the man named as
Mr.. Camerons successor, for we had looked
upon Hon Joseph Holt of Kentucky as all
most sure to be called to the position in cas-,
Of a resignation or removal Of Mr.. Cameron
Mr. Hollis fitness for the place, and the con
idence the people had in him as Secretary o
War toward the close Of Nh Buchanan ad
ministration, pointed to him as the successor
Of Mr.. Camcron indeed, marked him as the
most suitable man for the position at the time
Mr. Cameron was appointed In Mr. Stan
ton, however, we have no doubt the country
will find a man equal to the emergency, anc
il he shall so manage the affairs Of his depart
mcnt as to cause general stampede anon.
those who have fed and tattened upon corrup
ton and peculation in army contracts, th'
country will have the greatest reason to re
joice Indeed, we should not be surprised t,
learn that one cause Of Secretary Chase
trouble in managing the finances Of the coun
try was owing TO the indiscriminate name
in which the public treasure has been thrown
away in the War Department, ana that Mr.
Camerons resignation was a last resort t,
save the credit Of the country and prevent it
bankruptcy. Thi. may possibly be made ap
parent by loosening Of the purse strings OF
Wall Street.

From WASHINGTON.


The first week Of regular Congressional
work is over Both Houses have been in
dustrious, holding on longer than has been
usual in sittngs at this stage Of the session.
In work accomplished, the amount has not
been large the work indicated has been inn
portant Both Houses have clearly indicated
that the managers Of the war are to be held
to strict accountability; that spectators
upon the national misfortune and robbers Of
the national treasury are to be pursued and
punished and that economy is at least to be
aimed at. The debate and resolution in the
House on the Balls Bluff Affair, and the &C
ton on appropriation bills, indicate all these
things. The bills Of the Committee of Ways
and Means are subjected TO unusual scrutiny,
even in items Of little importance; the chair
man was taken by surprise, and unprepared ;
and consequently the bills have been badly
mangled, and final action has been delayed.
The chairman and House both have got their
temper up. and the public business will not
60 on tremendously until there is better
understanding between the leader Of the
House and the House itself Time will be
required to clear up the disputed points, but
they will be cleared up.
