The Tribune sWashington special says
an extra session Of the CabinetIis ex-
pected to beiheld to- morrow, to resume
the, Consideration of the Attorney
Generals s opinion on the power of
the military commanders. At the
| previous meeting of the Cabinet no
| final determination of the question
was arrived at, as has been stated, nor
| is it true that Mr.. Stanton was refused
permission to record his views in the
| proceedings, nor has he insisted gen
the. proceedings being promulgated.
It is understood, however, that
publicity will zbe given to the action
/ ofthe Cabineton the last opinion, as
on the first opinion of Mr.. Stanberry,
and the proceedings may appear in
the Associated Press reports on Tues
day or Wednesday next.
Quite number of nominations
| will. be sent by. the President to the
Senate, should there be quorum in
| Congress this week. Among these
are the nominations of Ministers to
Austria, Prussia, Mexico, Hayti, Con
sular General to Havana, Commits
| sioners of Agriculture, and several
Collectors and Assessors of the Rev
| enue, and postmasters..
1t is quite certain that Mr. Ray
mond will be nominated for Minister
to Austria. Mr. Bancroft's name
will, of course, be sent in for the
Prussian Ministry, and probably that
of Gen. Thomas Kilby Smith for
Consul to Havana
The Hon. Mr.. Campbell, late United
States Minister to Mexico, arrived
here last night, and had an interview
with the Assistant Secretary of State.
1t appears Mr.. Campbell had emp
tory orders from Mr.. Seward to re-
main in New Orleans, and no orders
to go to Mexico in search of Presi-
dent Juarez were received by him until
the first of the present month. The in
structions then given him were to
proceed to Mexico and take his sta
ton near President Juarez, but no
method of conveyance was Indicated
by which he could get there. Mr..
Campbell, it seems, was Ill with an
attack of fever when these instruc-
tions reached him. He at once set
about procuring vessel for the jour
ney, but was unable to obtain any.
Finding there was no means of trans
portation, he telegraphed to the De-
partment to have vessel assigned for
his use, which request was refused.
As his orders were emphatic to join
the Mexican President, and he found
1t impossible to do so, except by jour
neying overland with blanket and
haversack, he telegraphed to Mr. Sew
ard rendering his resignation, which
was accepted, and another Minister
appointed.
The Herald's North Platte corre-
spondent says intelligence was brought
in this morning by party of inde-
pendent scouts from the Pawnee
Reservation, that large band of hos
tile Sioux suddenly appeared and sur
rounded the Pawnee Reservation,
twenty miles northwest of Columbus,
Nebraska. There is great excitement,
of course, among the Indians and
white settlers, and the worst wesults
are reasonably anticipated. The scouts
have travelled fast, for the purpose of
procuring immediate relief. A band
