MR.. STANTON.


The friends of activity in the conduct of
the war, and vigorous ignoring of slavery,
are eased with the new member of the
Cabinet. His most Intimate friends for the
last two years have been Messrs. Sumner and
Wade. These have every confidence in him.
But the mystery is made deeper by this.
Why should Cameron leave? for the im.
preston seems TO prevail that it was on ac-
count of difference with General Mcclellan
as to the necessity Of an advance. 1t is
understood that the appointment ola distin-
guished Kentuckisn was pressed upon the
President, but that after the Louisville
Journals discourse, he is determined to
know wheresKentucky means to lead before
he agrees to follow her.
Mr.. Pomeroy, Of Kansas, the Jail bill being
up yesterday, argued with an ingenuity
which enlisted the attention of Senators,
that slavery in this district existed by tradi-
tiop, and not by positive enactment. When
it was at the cession of the district by Mary
land declared that the laws Of that State
| should prevail in the district north of the
| Potomac, there was no law creating slavery
| and it was not agreed that any laws made
at subsequent period should be laws fol
| the district.

The Columbia Panic

We are told that when a body Of Fed

nosday, there was a tremendous trcpida-
tive panic, terror aud skedaddle among
The rebels. Some ran away in their
drawers, some in their shirt and breechcs,
some bare .headed, and two or three fel-
lows, who had been clustering loudly
and largely for tie Southern Bulicrnui-
eracy, in puyis uahvoJlys. They fed
through cabbage patches, through corn
fields, through iimson- weed thickeis,
through dog fennel meadows, aud through
brier-patches, with streaming hair and
dilatcd eyes, and gaping mouths, and
painting breasts. Good heavens! how
the blatant, whiie-livered black hearted
iotterdemalions, were Mortified. They
ran like a puppy with a kettle on his
tail, like q colt with a thousand yellow
jackets on his hide, ike a COW with a
million Of bu~lIalo-gnais, buzzing around
her, like a o pursued by a fierce
iom.oai, like q miserable drunkard chas-

were hastily icrkod down from chimney

portion of the village. Several persons

The Cedars Of Lebanon have lately
been visited and reported upon by DIR. j..
ID. Hooker, f. r, S. He reports the num-
Der of trees TO be about 400, disposed in
nine groups corresponding with as many
glacial hummocks or mOraines. They
vary in size from Is inches to upward Of
40 feet in girth, but the most remarkable
and significant fact connected with their
size is that there are no trees of less girth
than is inches,-no young trees or sap
lings,-the youngest trees are in all
probability upwards of fifty years old.
The position of the oldest trees affords
some interesting data relative TO the ages
Of the different parts of the grove, and the
direction in which il has spread. There
were only IL trees above 10 feet in giFth,
and these all occurred in two OF the nine
clumps, consisting OF $50 trees. There
were five clumps containing 1876 trees,
none of which were above II feet girth,
and these were all to the westward or
down valley side of the others. On this
side, therefore, the latest addition TO the
grove had taken place. That the grove
has within the historic period increased
and diminished in extent, owing to secu-
lar changes in the climate, is evident,
since nc Seeding has come TO maturity
Qhough thousands actually gefminate)
since the birth of trees now Is inches in
girth, and the whole grove presents great
disparity 10 the age of its trees. Cedars,
with u ospeciGc variation from the Leban-
on cedars, occur upon the chain Of the
Taurus, $50 miles of, upon the Himalaya
Mountains, far to the eastward, and as far
Cl4OO miles, to the westward, in Algeria,
with no known intermediate specimens.
DIR. Hooker believes them all to be Of COM
mon origin, and the forests at one time TO
have formed a chain Of not widely sepa-
rated links, most Of which are now de-
siroyed by climatic changes.
