Why CAMERON RESIGNED. The Chi
cago Republican gives a statement made
by General Cameron to a friend, explain
ing the cause Of his resignation Of the
Secretary8lip Of War and subsequent
.short stay in Russia, which at the time
were thought to indicate a want Of conf
denco in him on the part OF the Admin
istratiOn. 1t appears, however, from the
present account, that the contrary was
the case, and that his Withdrawal from
Office was very creditablo TO him. The
disaster to our arms in 1851 seemed to
render necessary the calling of General
Mcclellan to the command Of the army,
and he being able to dictate the terms of
bis acceptance, did not fail to use his
power. He stipulated that he should
pass upon all appointments and promo
tions, and the President and Gen. Cam
eron felt compelled, for the sake Of the
country and It's safety, to acccde to them.
Things went on from bad to worse, and
Gen. Cameron said that it was necessary
to break the agreement with Mcclellan,
even at the sacrifice of his (the Secreta-
ry's) own interests. Mr. Lincoln agreed
with him in his view of the case, but
thought it impossible to retract the terms
| pledged to Mcclellan. General Cameron
replied, 81 will resign, and you can ap.
point another to my position" The
President objected that it would ruin
General Cameron politically, but the
latter insisted, and it was finally agreed
that the resignation should take place
General Cameron to be sent to Russia as
mark Of the confidence of the American
nation, and Nr. Stanton be appointed his
successor, who would be sure to clip the
wings Of tho "Young Napoleon" as soon
as possible. General Cameron did not
want the Russian appointment, but took
it for the cause above assigned, on the
condition that he might resign as soon as
he chose. Mr. Stanton succeeded him
and if the foregoing statement be true
We have an explanation of the coolness
which was apparent between Stanton and
Mcclellan from the first.

The Appointment of II. II. Helper to
the Assessorship Of the Third District,
NC, has given great offence to the Cop
porhoads Of the North. Mr.. Helper is a
Southern man, and many years ago com
piled book from official facts and figures
to show the rottennucss slavery and the
expense it was to all ,he States to main
tain the Institution. For this labor Hell
per invoked the anger of Northern Dom
ocrats because it endangered the source
OF their political power, and the hatred of
Southern traitors, because it exposed the
atrOcity of the effort to destroy the Amer
lean Union.

ra- The difficulty of furnishing Jeff
Davis without making a martyr of him
has occurred to every one, and some are
very much annoyed by it. To secure the
punishment, and yet avoid martyrdom,
the New York correspondent of the Lon

plan:

give up their costly and ruinous dresses,
stop playing the coquette, cease to aspire
to the part Of great ladies, abandon costly
idleness, and return to the primitive and

NEW YORK, July 23.-At nine o'clock
this morning the great iron.cIad ocean
frigate Dunderberg was launched. Not
less than fifteen thousand people witnessed
the spectacle. No accident occurred.
1t was found when she was in water that
she drew only fifteen feet aft, nineteen
feet midship, and niue feet fOrward-a
draft much less than expected by many.
The Dunderburg is the largest frigate in
the world, and in six mouths she will be
ready to make fifteen knots per hour, r,and
bid defiance to the world. The Dunder,
berg is the embodiment ideal of the
famous ship builder Webb. Her plan is
original and novel She will be a float
