Tho nominntiou of Senator Fossenden, un

tbougb there is a very gnnorul, if not a

at this critical juncture, of tho uni quitted

The Xationul liUell'iytncer, of the 1st,
says: . r
It is known that yesterday was the
termination of Ihe fiscal year 1HI33 4, and
Mr, Chase has therefore been able to closp
the administration of bis office with the
close of the yenr. It was supposed bv
many that he would have resigned his
place in the Government on the restora
tion of Gen. iilnir lo command in the ar
my, but it was replied by his friends that
he could not with propriety do so at thnt
time, when his ouioinl conduct was jmt
put on trial before n Committee of Con
gress. We believe we run no risk of misstate
ment when we say thai this determina
tion was brought about by a difference of
opinion between Ihe President nnd the
Secretary with regard to the appointment
of oertnin officers connected with the
Treasury Department, nnd particularly
of the leading financial officer of the Gov
ernment in Ihe city of New York, where
the Seoretary deemed it of especial im
portance to secure the services of an oll't
cer who should bo selected on the ground
of financial qualification!, ratber than in
deference to cuusiderations of political in
terest. The Washington Chronic! says :
We know that Secretary Chase enjeys
tli o confidence ol the people to an unex
ampled degree; that his administration of
Ihe bounces ta regarded as evincing thu
highest statesmanship and financial abilt
It, nnd his withdrawal would be esteem
ed a national calamity. That there should
ho a re-orgnnixition of the Cabinet, the
National Convention has virtually decla
red, and the almost unanimous sentiment
of the country avouches; and if such re
organization takes place, tha radical anti
slavery sentiment of the country is enti

It wa on the O h of Angust, 1861, being

which wa assombled on the 4b day of Ju

Sonal relation were unchanged.. Ho know
how (incoroly grieved I was when, a early
a 1838, he allowed Mr. Buchanan nnd the

the black and bittor year that auoooedod,

sparing ability. And now ba.was going to

"What do you mean? I will undoubtedly

dear sir, you will follow your doctrine Into

"If I go over the lines, it will be to bring
back with me my runaway son, Cabell, who
