SPIRITUF THa MOKNING PKhSS
The Vh'ok sayi of the cut of the Cabnet
which is mrw so universally regarded here aa
the ooe that Mr. Buchanan has determined on:
" For the last twenty-four hours public
opinion in Washington (earn* to have settled
down upon the following cast of Mr. Buchan
an s Cabinet:
Lewis Cass, Secretary of State.
Cs.h-'Jfc!fr*t*ry of the Treasury.
a t" B Floyd, Secretary of War.
t v ?[own' Secretary of the Navy.
Jacob Thompson, Secretary of Interior.
J. Ulancy Jones, Postmaster General.
*wC J0Bce7 Attorney General,
w* ow ?? '^formation of an authen
tic character which justifies the confidence
w:>h which the foregoing ia received as the
cabinet, or as so near the cabinet that only a
finale change is suggested It may be mere
conjecture ; but whatever may have created
the general impression, it ia certain, ao far as
our observation has extended, the cast of the
cabinet above meet* with decided approval
If this or a cabinet composed of such names,
is formed, our anticipationa as to the wise dis
crimination for which we have given Mr. Bu
chanan full credit will be entirely realixed.
We express no opinion aa to the correctness of
the list of name*, for we have no grounds for
any opinion; but we venture to say. that if
the list is the true cabinet, the public mind
will be entirely satisfied that Mr. Buchanan'*
administration will start under most favorable
?*USplCCS."
We have to say that, from all the signs in
tue political hoiiion. we draw the conclusion
that the gentlemen named above are to form
Mr. Buchanan# Administration. Foremost
among tbese dgns we place the hearty acqal"
esence and approval manifested by the l>cmo"
Tata of Congrats, from all seationa of the
1'nkro, with reference to this Ji->t. True, here
*nd there there may be a Senator or Member,
the partisan of seine distinguished gentleman
not named on it, who regrets that his friend
may not be included But, as a whole, we are
very sure that it meets the views of nearly every
democratic member of both House*. Ibur, it
is already rendered certain tb3t the new Ad"
minis ration is tc start cut with the confidence
acd the warmest sympathy of every Demo
cratic fena'.or and Represeulatm; a point
never Achieved btfcre?cne cf inestimable im
portance. as will be apparent in six months.
In the course of our long experience in such
matters we never before wituersed so universal
approval of the selection of a Cabinet by an
incoming Executive. a* is just now being mani
fested by all those to whose sympathy and
support Mi Lucnanan must look for the tri
umph of the policy of his Administration
The fallowing brief *x?ra:t from a private
letter to the editors of th? Journal of Com
<*#/?<?? contains truths, as we know well, con
cerning this state cf feeling, and illustrate? to
the letter the sentiment on the part of the
great States-righls p?rty of the country, whirli
alms only to secure a faithful adaaiuiitratioa
of the Government, upon the strict letter tf
the Constitution :
4* Perhaps it wcuid be gratifying to you to
learn that there is agmerai disposition in the
South to give Mr. Buchanan a hearty support
The party is compact and united and harmo
nious, notwithstanding the ataurd stories set
afloat from this and other points. I belong to
the State-rights wing, with liunter. Mas.n,
Kusk, J: it*i atri.x, Ciay, an#otic:s.
I see these gentlemen often, and you may rest
satisfied that we are going to have a hearty,
cordial, and popular administration. The
South feels the nearness of danger, is sware
of the necessity oi" moderation, and will rely
upbn Mr Buchanan.
The lnttliig nctr is devoted to news tc-day.
WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP
Lcsiiag's H:atery of the United States ?
As it is proposed to 'cram" this work into
thepublie schools cf the eountry, it ia worth
t^? public s while to examine it cri'ically.
We therefore proceed to quote and comment
on a few of its remarkable passages:
486 . Ihe command of the army of the
West was given to General Kearney wi;h in
struction- to conquer New Mexico and Cali
lovnia. He left loit Leavenworth in June,
and after a jturney of nine hundred miles'
over the great plains and mountain ranges
he arrived at >anta Fe, the capital of New
Mexico, cn the lSth of August. He met with
no resistance, and having taken peaceable
po***??cn of the country and constituted
Ita gJ^crnor, he marched to
wards California He ?oon met an express
from Comm-dore Stockton and Lieut Col
Fremont, '.nfcrming him that the conquest of
California bad already been achieved
Pag* *? , Fremont had been eeut with a
party ci about sixty men to explore portions
of New Mexico and Caiif. rnia Wben he sr.
nved in the risitity of Alontercy, on the Pa
c*c coast re was opposed by a Mexican force
under General Ca,tro Fremont n-oused ail
the Amer.o? settlers in the vicinity of San
Francis- j Bay, captured a Mexican post and
garrson. and nine cannons, and two hundred
and fifty muike's at Bonora Pass. (June 15
\ . i ? en *^T?cced to Sonora and de^
featei Castro ar.d his txrops The Mexican
authorities were effectually driven out of that
region of the country, and on the 5th of July
the American Calif .rtians declared them
se^es ?-dep< n lent, and placed Fremont at the
nwL?L iS^rcuienl. T wo dayg afterward
Commodore Meat, then in command of the
?quadron ou ??,? Pacific, bombarded and cap

?Montgomery took possesion of San Franoisco.

It would perhaps be difficult to comprew, in
the tame apace as much perverrion of tha truth
of history, as the author ha* succeeded in do
ing in the above extract from his w?#rk We
b*ve no disp*a;!ioc to revive the discuMioi s of
U* f^'tical camjafgn just pa-!, but an at
Utnpt is being made t? force Mr. Lossing s
istory upon th? schools of this district as a
k?0k' aSl W? "-Clt obJ*ct t0 * history
wh:ch in mat ers that recent events have
inn.de fa,a:!la' as all, is so careless iu its
facts.

the faets in reference to the conquest oi Cali
fornia, on which to base an opinion of who
waj the eonqueror of California; but we have
nothing to do with opinions?we only deal in
faoU ?For some cf which see Capt Schenk's
letter, and Senator Thompson's speech in ihe
United States Senate.)
Ihe Americans were roused under a procla
mation by Ide, and the independence of Cali
fornia was declared by the same person. (See
| San Franciico Sun, September 5, 1856, and
extensively republished >
Fremont was not called by the people of
California to be their Governor July 5th,1846>
or at any other time; but was appointed by
Stockton in January, 1847. No record or evi
dence of any kind is produced to the contrary,
and, in truth, none exists.
The history contradicts itself by saying that
Kearny received notice on tho march that the
conquest of California had already been
achieved, and almost on the same page aver
ring that six months ot more afterwards Kear
ney arrived to share with Stockton and Fre
mont the honort in the final battle of San
Gmbriel, January 8, 1847, which oompleted
the conquest and pacification of California!
Ilowoculd the conquest be already achieved
when tho final battle was fought nearly a
year afterwards, which completed the conquest
and pacification ?
Now, as to the averment of this historian
; that Mr. Fremont was present to sha re in the
honor of the final battle of San Gabriel (Jan
uary S, 1S47.) It was averred during the
campaign just passed that Col. Fremont was
net in that battle, or in any other during the
conquest of California.
The records of the War Department, the
testimony before his court martial, and the
individual testimony of officers on service in
California daring the war, make no mention
of his having been present at that battle or
any other in California.
ft is not known to us where he was at the
time; but evlience prodused goes to show that
he was at sueh a distance that he did not re
ceive the news of the battle until the 11th,
three days afterward! Yet this veracious
historian avers that he shared in the honor of
the fioal battle of San Gabriel! Five hun
dred eye witnesses cf that battle now living
can be brought to attest the fact that he was
net in that battle, and was not near the field.
(See Letter of Capt Scheck, U S. N. ; and
also Speeoh of Hon J R Thompson )
The conclusion of Mr. Lossing as to who
was the real conqueror of California, to the
disparagement of Stockton and Kearney may
go for what they are worth, now that the facts
upon which he bases them are upturned
The complexion of the book may be seen
fr^m the fact that Mr. Fremont is figured on e
page as big as the palm of your hand, and
General Scott's huge proportion? are figured
in a corner in a miniature about the siie of
your thumb nail.
Such stuff is too transparent to catch gullv
A Letter frcm Walker's Army .?A captain
in Walker's army, a native of this city, well
known to us, writes to a relative as f? Hows:
Rivas, December 28, 185f,
I received your letter by the last mail, and
am glad to he&r that you are all alive if not
well. I have been very ill since you hear!
from me last, but atu nearly well, but still
very weak It is impossible for me to write
you the events that have happened, and the
condition we have been in for the last three
mouths You may see something of them in the
papers, but the truth will not reach you : the
number killed in the last battle, died of
wounds, and by etarvatior, is awful Gen.
Walker has moved the headquarters cf his
half starved army here If the enemy attack
us here and get the best of uj we are done
but I don't think they can whip us here and
I d<-n t think there is any danger of their at
tacking us. My time i3 up in February, and
I will use every effort to get home. If you
can possibly raise me f 50 1 can do it 1 would
not can on you, but we are paid off in scrip,
and it is not worth a cent. If you can raise
the money send New Orleans money by the
next steamer in a letter.
The writer we know to be a person of truth
and probity, and wonder how a man of his !n
tel'.igence and substantial character could
suffer himself to be inveigled into thus sacri
ficing himself by way of aiding and abetting
the moonshine pecuniary speculation* which
are at the bottom of all the efforts to supply
American victims to the climate of Nicaragua
and the Minnie rifles of the natives of the
country he has invaded.
The Court of Inquuy.? The following
General Order'' explains all the point* of
interest with reference to the manner in which
the recent supplemental naval reform law is

The Indiana Senatorial Question?The
New York Tribune has spasms over this ques
tion Its characteristic tendency to hydro
phobia never was more forcibly iilu.-tratcd
than in its late disquisitions upon this partic

success for the scheme concocted by the Re
publican party managers in this city and duly
carried out by their partisans in the Legisla
ture at Indianapolis All who see behind the
curtain here are aware that the tricks essayed
there to throw doubt on the validity of the
election in question, were cunningly and care
*u.ly iLutured here, and had for their aim the
siL^lj purp<d? of defeating the action of a
maj ri.y < f the Legislature (of Indiana) for
the benefit of the Republican party. It re
mainis to be seen how far that purpose can tri

Mr Bennett, rising to a point of order, con
tended that the character of the report'was
not in accordance with the resolution under
which the committee were appointed.
Mr. B. and Mr. Grow advocated this point
of order, and tne propriety of recommitting
the report, with instructions to tbeoummitteo
to confine it to the strict letter of the resolu

The Speaker having overruled the joint
order,
Mr Davis then commenced to rea 1 his report
