Wild and alarming rumors follow each other in rapid succe-sion, like the waves upon a troubled sea. * Nor is the excitement confined to the na- tlosal metropolis. It prevails in all th- great cites of the loyul States, and is rapidly extend- dug so the tewns and hamlets of the int rir. «It would *#ppear that this last evidence of treaciery or incompet acy, in some branch of the m:L tary administration, was all that was wan'ied to ‘du tue cup of national bitteraess (ull “to the overflowing, or that it is so upmistakable ond conclusive as to address ieelf irrosisti ly to the underetancing of all giasere. however, as it may, there caf be no doubt that the pgple of the loyal States are thoroughly Sroweh and thoroughly alarmed, and not a Tuom: nt should be lost in allaying tie popular exci'ement by announcing & satitactory change in the military adnsivistration. “ All bistory teaches the danger of neglecting or despising such unmistakable signs of a ris- ing popular i mpest The Chronicic treats upon “arbitrary arrests,” and all ges thst the reason why ‘he Democratic lesders do not see any good in such arrests is becange “they are in mortal fear for their own safety.” END OF THE CABINET IMBROGLIO. , We feel sure that the rr-sident, in reply to the recent tender of their reeiznations by the three members of ‘he Cabin t who took that step last w® k, bas requested them to continue ia the discharge of their respective ministerial functions, with an intimation tsathe en'ertains no idea of aseverance of their official associa- tion. It is understood that Mrssrs. Seward, Chaise and Bisir only, had tendered their resignations before this action of the President induced the others to decline sending in theirs. This course on the part of President Lincoln was by no means nnexpected to as; insomuch as we fit perfectly sure that investization of the pcesibility of administering the Govern- Ment under entirely radical auspi es, wonld very speedily convince bim that it could not be done, The reader will plesse-mot understand*® Gs as iutimating a belief that the President his at any time entertained that purpose; thoush ace: ptunce of Mr. Seward's resiznatior and clos'r afflistion with the influences that inau- furated the Senatorial caucus proceedings in- ducing the course of Mr. S, would have amounted to nothing more gor less than such an Attempt. It was, at least, questionable wh-ther the withcrawal of Mr. Seward from his present position would not have precipitated the ad- ministration clearly into a miuority in both houses of Congress upon every Point objec- tionable to the Repubhcan party conservatives. That is: during the balance of the life ef the present Congress. Afwr the 4th of March next, bad sc atiempt been made to place the afuirs of the country wholly in the keeping of the radicals, their poticy would have been sus- ta‘aed by hardly more than a corporal’s guard im the lower Honse. H Besides, Governor Curtin, who was here during the later part of last week, made no secret of bis firm impression that such an attempt would instuntly put Pennsylvania in Opposition to the Administration. with great imity. A knowledge of tlese and other kindred fcts satixtied us that the more the nt reflected on what radi alism essayed te induce bim do, the surer he would be to Feject its counsel. The events have already justified this anticipation. &7 It is reported that the President on Sat- urday afternvon last addressed to Mr. Seward and Mr. Gbase a now requesting them to with. draw their resignations and resume the duties of their respective Departments; and we sre gure that the country at large, in view of the é€minent amity with which they have each discharged their important duties, and the Pprterent critical state of public affairs, will unite in the wish that mey may both yield to the Preeident’s req vest. —Intelligencer.

EST SUERTE The following has been received at Heai- qvarters: HikapguARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac, December 1, 1862. | Gen, H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief, U. 8. Acc GrNeEnAL: I have the honor to offer the fol- lowing reasons for moving the Army of the Potemac across the Rappahannock sooner than was anticipated by the President, Secretiry, or yourself, and for crossing at & point difier- eutirom the one indicated by you at our last mecling at the President's. Dniing my preparations for -crossing at the place I bad at first selected, 1 discovered that the enemy had .brown a large port.oa of his force Gown the river aod elsewhere, thus weik- ening his detence in front; and also theught I discovered that he did not anticipate the crose- ; ing of our whole force at Fredericksburg, and I | hoped by rapidly throw ing the whole command over at that place to separate by a vigorous at- tack the furces of the exemy on the river below | trom the forces behind and on the crest in rear ITICE.—Those in want of Employment of any | kind would better caiiop the new Intellige ce | Ninth wt., where the bext of pay Will be given to first-class Servants. [have always | cations en hand fer good Cooke, Laundres mbermaids, Waiters nnd Seamstresses; x! for Young Men to wait on tables, in private families | ‘arm Hands wanted of the town, in which case we could fight him with ® great rdvantage in our favor. To do this, we had to gain a height on the extreme right of the crest, which height com- munced 2 new roud lately made by the enemy lor purposes of more rapid communication along his Lines; which point gained, his po- tition slong the crest would have been scarce- ly tenable, and be couid have been driven from thence easily by an attack on his front in connec ion with ® movement in rear of the crest. How near we eame to accomplishing our cbject, future reports will show. But for the fog and unexpected and unavold- able delay in buiding the bridges, which gave the en: my twents-Jour hours more to concen- trate bis force in his strong positions, we would almost certainly have succeeded, in which ca-e the battle would have been, in my. oyinies, far more decisive that if we had crosted ai the place first selected. As it wus, we came very near success. Fail- ing mm a. complishing the main object, we re. mained in order of battle two days, longenough to decide that the enemy would not come out of his suongpolds to fight us with his infantry. Atur which we crossed to this side of the rny+r unmolested and without the loss of men or property. As the duy broke, and long lines of troops were sen marching to their different positions as if get!ing on parade, not the least demorali- zauicn or disorganization exieted. To the brave officers and soldiers who ao- compliehed the feat of thus recrossing ia the face of the en my, I owe everything; for the failure in the atrack Iam reeponeioie, as the exireme galiantry, courage and endurance shown by thim were never exceeded, and would have carried the point had it been Ppos- sible. To the families and friends of the dead { can only offer my heartfelt sympathies; but for the Wounded I can offer my heartfelt prayers tor their comfort and final recovery. ‘The ract tuat I decided to move from War- renten on to this line, rather against the opinion of the President, Secretary and yourselt, and that you have left the whole movement in my bands without giving me orders, makes me the more responsible. 1 will write you very soon, and give you more definite information; finally, will send you my detailed report,in whicha special ocknowiledgement will be made of the service ot the different grand division corps; and my general end personal staff departments. Tothe y of the Potomac, to whom I am so much inf€ebted for their support and bearty co-operation, I will add here that the moye- ment was made here earlier than you expected, and aftr the President, Secretary and yourself Tequested me net to be in haste, for the reason that we were supplied much eooner by the dif- ferent staff cCepartments than was a|nicipated when I last saw you. Our killed amounts to eleven hundred and fifty-iwo; our wounded about nine thousand, and or® prisoners about seven hundred, which baye been paroled and exchanged for about the sAme number taken by us. The wounded were ail removed to this side of the river be. fore the evacuation, aud are being well cared for, and the cead were all buried under the hag of truce. ‘Th: surgeons report a mnch larger Pproporuon than veal of elight wounds, sixteen handred snd thirty only being located in hospitals. loam giad to represent thisa rmy ai the precent tome iB g000 condition.
