Reported Resignation Of Secretary
W Cameron.

The statement from Washington that
Simon Cameron, the Secretary OF War,
has resigned his office, and that Hon.
Edwin M. Stanton, late Attorney Gen.
eral under President Buchanan, is to
be appointed in his place, has every
appearance of truth; though, before
giving the report full credence, we
prefer to wait for the official announce
ment
Though during last summer there
was considerable lack of confidence in
Secretary Cameron, yet we believe that
subsequently the public mind had be.
come pretty generally satisfied that the
evil reports that were set afoat to his
prejudice were the coinage of malicious
politicians, and that, under all the
trying circumstances of his arduous
position, he was doing his whole duty.
The causes that have led to his resig-
nation, if he really has resigned, are
matters for conjecture. 1t is known
that, in some important respects, he
did not coincide with the opinions and
policy of the rest of the Administration,
though there never has been anything
like an angry rupture in the Cabinet, AZ
some irresponsible persons have alleged.
Whether this disagreement has any
thing 10 do with the step taken by the
Secretary of War, we, of course, are
unable to state.
Mr.. Stanton, who is announced as
his successor, was a member of Bu-
chanan's Cabinet during the last few
weeks of that Administration, and, like
Dix and Holt, was in no wise implica-
ted, but strongly opposed to, the treas
enable transactions Of other members
of the Cabinet. He has the character
of an upright, energetic, and most
worthy man.
1t is also reported that Mr.. Cameron
has been appointed Minister to Russia !;
aud that Cassius M. Clay, who has
been urging the President for some
time to recall him, comes home to take
command in the army.

AN IRON EGG.-In Dresden there is an
iron egg, the history Of which is some-
thing like this; A young prince sent this
iron egg to a lady to whom he was be-
trothed. She received it in her hand,
and looked at it with disdain. In her
indignation that he should send her such
gift, she cast it TO the earth. When it
touched the ground, spring cunningly
hidden in the egg opened, and silver
yolk rolled out. She touched secret
spring in the yolk, and golden chicken
revealed; she touched spring in the
chicken, and a ruby crown was found
within; she touched a spring in the
crown, ard within it was a diamond
marriage ring. There is a moral to the
story.
