TIE RESIGNATION or TIE SECRETARY OF WAR
his SUCCESSOR.
Our present relations with Europe are deemed
highly important and interesting and rs Russia
seems a strong friendly Power the President was
anxious that some one should act as Minister to the
Court of St. Petersburg in whom he has entire conf
dence, who can ably and fairly represent bis views
and aid our cause in Europe. Gen. Cameron accepted
the Office of Secretary Of War with great reluctance,
prelerring TO retain bis seat in the Senate and his
always declared bis intention to vacate the place
when the interests Of the country should allow aud
he could have proper successor. The gentleman
seleoiod Edwin NJ. Stanton, is a warm personal
friend Of Gen. Cameron, is from bis own State,
and las accepted the position at the lat
ter's solicitation. Mr. Stanton, it will be
recoected, was Atorney-General toward
tie conclusion of Mr.. Buchanan's administration. In
taking tue arduous position he sacrifices an immense
private business TO serve the Government. The ap-
pontmen ia popular, as it is generally conceded he
is man Of sterling integrity, without any political
affiliations to trammel Ais action IN any case which
may come under his supervision while he will prove
an able counselor in the Cabinet, and most valua-
bic officer in his department. The friends Of Gen.
Cameron claim that lie can well afford TO lay aside
his exhausting laboIs, having accomplished so much
in the organization and equipment Of tie largest
army ever assembled on tie American continent
The nominations were sent to the Senate to-day by
the President They were, as is customary, referred
to the appropriate Committee, and will probably be
acted upon ia executive session tomorrow. The
change in the Cabinet creates much sensation.
