Nei0S says.
believe the relations which exist between the
President and the members Of his Cabinet are of
the most amicab.e and harmonious nature per.
sonally but there Is said to be serious disagree
Taent In regard 10 two topics, and those the most
important that now engage the Presidents stten-
ton. These are our relations with Mexico, and
the relations of the Federal Government toward
the Southern States. On these points, it is said,
q radical difference exists between the President
and two members OF the Cabinet. This difference
developed itself strongly in the last two Cabinet
meetings and if it is not adjusted in ten days
FROM now, will result In the withdra y al OF those

TROOPS IN VIRGINIA.
The existence OF considerable dissatisfaction
among the troops in the Department of Virginia
in regard to their retention in the service, has
rendered an order from General Terry on the sub
ject necessary. Many OF the men argue that they
enlisted only for the war, and now that is virtu
ally ended they are justly entitled 10 their dis
charge from the service. General Terry defines
the term during the war" Gs being while the
necessity for q military force created by present
rebellion shall continue to exist" and that that
necessity will continue until the States recently
in rebellion have returned to their former relations
TO the National Government, While Gen. Terry
appeals to the troops ofhis command not to suliy
their great and wel.earned reputation by mis-
conduct he also reminds them Of the existence of
military law, and gives them TO understand that
the crimes of desert,on and INSTRUMENTATION will
be az severely punished as if the troops were still
engaged in active campaign.
