THE NEW CABINET.
The new cabinet has been announc
ed by the President of the United
States. A brief sketch of each of the
gentlemen mav prove interesting.
Secretary of State Daniel Web
steu. ivir. veDstcr nas mien so
large a space in the public mind that
there is no necessity why we fchould
say aught against him His distin
guished services and pure, disinter
ested putriotism is an earnest of future
ability to be useful to his country.
Secretary o f the Treasury. Thos.
Corwin of Ohio. Mr. Corwin is a
gentleman of great modesty and great
worth. lie has risen like our present
Chief Magistrate from an humble
situation in life, and has filled during
the course of his eventful career,
many distingu'shoif and important
public stations, lie is a man singu
Inrly gitteu by nature, ana possesses
talents which will make him an able
and efficient Cabinet officer.
Secretary of the Interior. J. A.
Pearce, of Maryland. After having
served in the Legislature of his native
State for many years, ho entered the
Congress of the Lulled States some
eight or ten years since, lie was
sent to the lower House, and finally
entered the Senate on the 4th of
March 1813. Last winter he was
re-elected almost unanimously to a
second term. lvir. rearce possesses
a clear, comprehensive mind, and is
a man of great alacrity and quick
percept:on. He is remarkable for his
devotion to business; and his suavity
of manners. The universality of his
knowledge and the ease with which
he can grasp any subject, fits him
particularly for the post to which ho
has been nailed.
Secretary of Wat Edward Bates
of Missouri. One of the purest men
living; born low down on the Potomac,
in the State of Virginia, is lnlermar
l ied in one of the first families of
South Carolina; romoved early to
Missouri whilst she was a territory,
and entered at once upon the practice
o: his (the legal) profession, where he
soon reached the position of the first
lawyer in the State. He served in
Congress some twenty years ago:
Secretary of the Navy Wm. A.
Graham of N.Carolina. - 1r.Gratiam
tins served in the Legislature of North
Carolina, and the lower House of
Congress, with great abilitv and use
fulness, In November, 1840 he was
elected by the Legislature to supply
the vacancy in the Senate of the
United States occasioned by the resig
nation of Robert Strange. He has
since been Governor of the State. In
all these situations he has acquitted
himself with ability. He can scarce
ly be said to be a brilliant man, but
has great practical knowledge and
solidity of judgment.
Postmaster General A. U. Hall,
of N. York.--Of Mr. Hall we know
but little. We believe he gained con
siderable reputation as the editor of a
Whigjournal in Buffalo N. York.
It was there he became acquainted
with Mr. Fillmore, and an intimacy
sprang up which has since ripened
into a strong friendship. Mr. H. is,
we believe, now abroad as Charge to
one of the South American States.
He is said to be a man of great ability.
Attorney General John J. Crittetr
den. The talented and distinguished
Mnel Magistrate ot Kentucky is so
well known and so universally re
spected and esteemed that it would be
supererogation on our part to say one
word in his praise. Uur only fear is
that he will not except; still we should
think he has not been nominated un
less by his own consent. Lou. Jour
of Commerce.
Wool. In Secretary Meredith's
report is embodied a statement ot Dr,
E. Itobbins. of Boston, of considerable
interest in relation to the value of this
Great staple to the whole nation :
"The consumption of wool in the
United States is estimated at ninety
millions of pounds each year. The
number of sheep in the United States
may bo reckoned to be Ironi twenty
tothiity millions. The capital invest
ed in sheep husbandry is supposed to
be $330,000,000, which is greater by
eighteen millions than the sum invest
ed in 184G in land for the cotton cul
ture. The annual aggregate product
of sheep husbandry is estimated at
337,664,000."
A Minister Knocking Himself
out of his own Pulpit. A Sabbath
or two ago, in a small church not a
hundred miles from the Sol way, a
young preacher of Herculean ability,
physical and mental, was approaching
the climax of one of his Roman bursts
of eloquence, when the front of the
Eulpit, which had for half an hour
een treated most cruelly, suddenly
gave way, and the earnest and strik
ing preacher, to the great consterna
tion of the audience, and the still
greater horror of the precentor, was
pitched headlong half way up the
area of the church. The preacher
escaped with a few slight bruises, but
the poor precentor, we are sorry to
state, was severely injured. Good
hopes, however, are now entertained
of his recovery. Dumfries Courier.
Puor. Webster Interview with
LlTTLEFIELU, JANITOR OP THE CoL-
leoe. Yesterday afternoon, at the
solicitation of Prof. Webster, Mr.
Liltlcfield. the ianitor of the Medical ,
' ollego, and principal witness for the i
government on the trial of Professor
Webster, visited the jail, and had an
interview with tho condemned man,
in the presence of MrAndrews, the
jailor. As he wont into the cell, Prof.
Webster greeted him with great cor
diality, tnkinir him by the hand, and
told him that he had long been desirous certain hour, Hie doors ol Ins house
of seeing him, in order to make his would bo closed upon her, and be
acknowledgments to him. Professor would not open them. Miss K. start
Webster said he had done him, Lit- ed, and it appears remained away
tlelield, great injustice, and asked his over the time; and when she returned
forgiveness. the doors wec closed, and no one
Mr. Liuleficld replied. "I forgive would admit her. On returning to
you. Dr. Webster, with all my heart, her father's house and finding it closed
and I pity and sympathise with you." against her, she spent some time in
He told him that it was a painful walking near the house, and then made
thing to go on to the stand and testify another ineflbctual attempt to gain
against him, but that ho felt it to bo admittance. She then sought out the
his duty, and he had no right to shrink young man with whom she had passed
from it. If he had testified to any
thing that was not strictly correct, it
was not done intentionally by him; if
he had, he asked his (Webster's) for
giveness,
Mr. Webster replied "Mr. Littloi
field, all that you said was true you
have misrepresented nothing but, as
a dying man, I have no recollection
in regard to the sledge hammer."
He requested an interview with Mr.
Littlefielil's wife, who will, we under
stand, visit him this afternoon.
Both Prof. Webster and Littlefield
were much affected during the inter
view, and they parted with mutual
good feeling.
We are also informed that Prof.
Webster seems perfectly resigned and
very penitent, lie says that he has
made his peace above, and is prepar
ed to die. His only sorrow is con
cerning his unfortunate family; the
officers of tho jail have no apprehen
sion that he will commit suicide. No
one is permitted to see him
they hold a permit from tho
unless
sheriff.
We understand that Mrs. Littlefield
will visit tiie Professor to-day.
The Times says:
It is not the least singular fact,
among all the circumstances of this
uflair, that Webster has not yet rc
signed his "Ewing Professorship of
chemistry and mineralogy" in Har
vard University; neither has he been
removed, nor lias another been ap
pointed in his plane consequently he
is still a full professor, and it is a full
professor in the first seminary of
learning in the United States, who will
bo executed on Friday, August 30th.
unless he anticipates his duuin by
suicide. Boston Journal.
There is nothing, perhaps, which
more strongly characterizes an intel
ligent people than the posiure of com
posure they are certain to maintain
in the midst of causes of anxiety and
commotion. When events take place
of vast importance, uncertain in their
consequences, and wholly unexpected,
such a nation holds itself in equilibrio,
and calmly looks abroad upon the
altered scene.
An event of this description, mourn
ful in itself, doubtful in its effects, yet
pregnant with grave influences, now
nfllicts our country. The first im
pulse of every one is to reflect. We
have met with a great loss, hut the
Republic remains. The deceased
President was a great and good man.
ami th; nation loved him. But all
that is great and good has not been
buried in his grave. Strong men sur
vive; patriots live; tho mighty com
monwealth is safe. Newark Daily
Advertiser.
It will be seen by the following that
Mrs. Partington is still about.
'Put on your shawl and bonnet, and
come right along," said Mrs. Parting
ton, as she rushed breathlessly into
her neighbor's. "An antiquated gen
tleman has just survived in town with
a feminine priest craft right from
Egypt. I wouldn't have believed it,
if the woman that gave me the injlam

Ravazcr of Cholera at Sagua la
Grande. Capt. Crookcr, of brig
George W. Brinkerhoff, arrived at
Boston on the 0th, irom angua ta
Grande, 23d ult.. reports tnai me
cholera still raged with great viru-
lence at that place, carrying on ooin
whites and negroes in great numbers.
Upon one plantation seventy negroes
died in a few days. Nearly ull the
physicians have lied Irom the place.
The mortality was proportionately
greater at Sagua than upon any oilier
part of the Island. N. Y. Post.
Melancholy Suicide. A young
lady named Kenn, residing in Cov
ington, Ky., drowned herself in the
Ohio river on Sunday week. Miss
K., it appears, had received and en-
couraged the address of a gentleman
whom her father disliked, and whose
visits to the house he had forbidden.
Sunday evening the young man came
to the house ami invited Miss K. to
take a walk with him. When she
was about starting, her father toid
her that if she did not return by a
the evening, and requested him to
provide for her comfort and protection
during the night, lie thought it would
be more proper for the young lady to
pass the night under her father's roof,
and advised her once more to try and
effect an entrance, and if unsuccessful,
to return to him for prelection. She
complied so far as to try again at her
father's door, but with no better suc
cess than before. She then started
for the ferry, intending to seek a
home at her sister's house, in Cincin
nati. It being in the evening, the
ferry boat had laid up for the night.
She requested tho ferryman to get up
steam and take her over the river,
which ho positively refused to do.
She asked him for a skiff ami snid she
would row herself over. Me either
had mine or would lend her mine.
Finding herself thus ballled at every
point, in despair she rushed to the
outer edge of the wharf ami threw
herself into the river, which s"on
i closed over her fair form. What
makes tho matter still worse, the
Awns says the father manifesto I a
biutal indifference upon the subject,
when informed that his daughter was
drowned.
Execution. Geo. W. Evans, a
young man convicted of murder, was
executed at Macon, Geo. on Friday
week, in presence of an immense con
course of persons. He was born and
reared amid profligacy and crime
whieh had combined to destroy the
better impulses of his nature. The
Alacon Messenger says:
'On tho scaffold he warned the
youth of the country to beware of his
example, and shun the ways of wick
edness which led to the ignominious
gallows; and, in alluding to the teach
ings of his own sinful mother, gave
fearful warning to the mothers of ihe
land to look well to tho habits and
conduct of their children."
