NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER I7, 1860. 5 IMPORTANT FROM SPRINGEIELD. ‘More Indications from the President Elect. ‘What Mr. Lincoln’s Organ Says of Mr. Bell’s Letter, &e., &e., &e. Our Springfield Correspondence. Srmunarmip, Dec. 12, 1860. A Significant Hint—Secession and the Cabine—John Bell— Peaceable Disunion Impossible—Mod Law in the South— Frank P. Blair, Jr., de. For the sake of comment, I repeat the following para- graph, pablished at the head of the editorial columns of this morning’s Journat (Mr. Lincoln's recognized organ), and embodied in the special despatch sent to the Henatp this afternoon. As stated in the despatch, “it is known to have emanated directly from the President elect,’ and ‘hence deserves especial attention :— auch frequeotalusions 10-8 supposed pu we it allusi on the part of Mr. oln to call into his inet two or tlemen from the parties to him politically that we are prompted to ask a few ques- tions :— 1. Is it known that any such gentleman of character would accept a place in the Cabinet ? 2. If yea, on what terms does he surrender to Mr. Lin- coln or Mr. Lincoln to him on the political differences be- ‘tween them? Or will they enter upon the administration in open opposition to each other f ‘These “Cabinet queries” appear to convey nothing ‘more nor less than a decided hint to the effect, that— 1. The willingness of these “two or three Southern gentlemen” referred to to accept seats in the Cabinet of the President elect is doubted. 2. It is feared that ‘‘any such gentleman of character” (mark the qualification) might take such an offer from a decided political opponent as an insult, it implying a supposition of their willingness to “modify principles for the sake of office.’” 8. That a mutual adaptation of principles is considered the condition sine qua non of administrative co-operation. 4. That Mr. Lincoln, at least, is indisposed to adapt his ‘views to those of tie members of bis Cabinet. Some of the readers will doubtlessly look upon this analysis as implying a broad and unmistakeablo intima- tion that there is little probability of any representation of the Southern States in the Cabinet of the President elect, and that the meaning of the above semi-oflicial in- terrogatories goes to confirm the Southern fears of aggres- sive intentions on his part. But it will be seen that only “two or three Southern gentlemen” are alluded to, while at least a dozen names from that section of the country have been connected with the Cabinet. My information warrants me, indeed, in stating that these queries are ‘only intended as feelers, and should be simply looked upon as indicative of the delicacy felt by Mr. Lincoln at making propositions to open and anclent adversaries of the party that elected him. John Bell’s last letter did not improve his chances of being offered a seat, as its accusatory tone towards the North is not considered balanced by the subsequent auti- digunion sentiments. He may be looked upon as fairly shelved. ‘To-day some of the oldest and most intimate friends of Mr. Lincoln gave it as their deliberate opinion in the course of a conversation during their usual rendezvous in one of the State offices, that peaceable secession was matter of absolute impossibility. Their views were expressed in such a manner, as to convey the idea that they were the reflections of similar convictions in higher quarters. It was asserted that even though coercion were not employed by the,federal government, a conflict would be made in- evitable by the improbability of an agreement upon the ‘terms of the separation between the two sections of the country. Secession and civil war were evidently thought contemporaneous contingencies by the parties in question. Reconciliation on the basis of Northern concessions was ‘scouted with much vehemence; although aggression was deprecated, eollision was confidently predicted. During the last fow days several outrages, perpetrated ‘by Southern mobs upon quiet, conservative and inoffen- ‘sive merchants of high standing in St. Louis and Chicago, who had attempted to give their personal attention to ‘Dusiness matters in New Orleans and other points, were brought,to the direct notice of the President elect. The grievances being substantiated by the most positive evi- ~~ dence, he took no pains to conceal his indignation at these arbitrary and altogether groundless persecutions, which reveals a despotism worse than ever practised in Russia, even in the palmicst days of Nicholas I. Frank P. Blair, Jr., unexpectedly appeared here last evening on his way to Washington from St. Louis. He at- tended the private conferences beld daily ia Mr. Lincola's room after candie light. This morning and afternoon he has likewise spent most of his time in the State House. He denounces all propositions to compromise, concede, ‘packslide, &e., &c., with the utmost bitterness. He pro- ounces the idea of a peaceable secession preposterous. “The Northwestern States,’ be says, ‘cannot and will not allow the building up of a ‘foreign Power’ on each side of the main artery of their commerce—the ‘Lower Missiaeippt'—nor submit to an interruption of the free navigation of that river.” Frank has pluck evidently. He means what he says, He knows no dodging or blinking. But I doubt that hjs “eagerness for the fray’ was properly responded to by the powers that are to be. His martial disposition might be taken as a qualification for the Secretaryship of the War Department. Stranger things have happened. PERSONAL REMINISCENCE. Tt is not generally known, says the Occoquan (Va.) Courier, that the early years of Abrabain Lincoln were monty in Virginia. From sixteen to eighteen he ‘Charles Tackett's school, then a flourisbing in- stitution in Stafford connty. The Hon. John L. Taylor, of Obio; Harvey B.

Mr. Qaleb Burnly succeeded bim in his school. Sencar, Dec. 12, 1360. Lincoln's Reply to John Bell—John Wentworth Hauled Over the Coals—A Democratic Member of Congress Charged with Ciweulating Incendiary Documents—Mr Lincotn's Confidential Agenis in the Eant, be. The most noticeable fact that has occurred here in connection withthe new regime, within the last few days, is tho rapid succession of semi official statements inreference to public matters, and even in the Daily Journal of this place—the central organ of the republi- eans of this State, and now the recognized mouthpiece of the President clect. Presont appearances warrant, indeed, the inference that it will henceforth be made the regular vehicle of the thoughts, wishes and plans of the “powers that are to be.”’ Yesterday I quoted and commented upon a paragraph Crom the organ in question bearing upon the drawbacks to the selection of representatives of the South for Mr Lincoln's Cabinet. To-day I subjoin some no less signifi. cant strictures upon John Boll's lant letter, also taken from this morning's Journal. They coniirm all I said upon tho same subject in my Inst — ‘MR. RELL '* CNTON Laren. Hon. John Rell has written along and able Union letter, ‘and we trust that {t may be instrumental in allaying the disunion fever. We believe Mr. Bell be a patriot.

It denounces this disreputable aitempt to feed the disunion flame in the most bitter terms, and after asseverating with much emphasis that the imputed feelings of taunt and deflance were foreign to Mr. Lin- cola, says of him :— ‘The strangest partof the article is the passage by which a direct intimation is conveyed that J. A. McCler- nand, the democratic member of Congress from this dis- trict, allowed his frank to be used for the distribution of the incendiary circulars in the South. Your Washington correspondents had better keep an eye om the present movements of Senator Trumbull and N. B. Judd, the chairman of the Republican Central Com- mittee of this State, who is at present sojourning in the federal capital. They are both known here to be engaged in “surveying planks for the Cabinet,” and to be in daily correspondence on the subject with the President elect. ———== NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Wasnmncton, Dec. 16, 1960. ADVICES FROM THE AMERICAN MINISTER IN CHINA —EN" GAGKMENT BETWEEN THE ALUYS AND CHINEAK—PLUNDER- ING OF A CHINESE TOWN BY THK ALLIES. ‘The government have received important despatchos from Minister Ward, dated Shanghae, October 5. He states that everything is quiet at that place, and that he docs not apprehend any difficulty from rebels so long as the Allies continue their military occupation of Shanghae. Under these circumstances flag officer Stribling intended to leave for Japan ina few days, and from thence to go to Hong Kong early in November. Our Minister states that he had been unexpectedly detained at Shanghae on public business, but would leave soon for Hong Kong. He says that the latest advices from the Peiho are up the 28th of September. On the 20th part of the Allied forces had an engagement with the Chinese army, under Sinkolinski, in which the latter were de- feated with considerable loss. After the defeat of the Chinese, the Allied commissioners permitted the town of Tungshong, which is some ten or twelve miles from Pekin, to be plundered by the troops. The reasons for this are contradictory and unsatisfactory. After the Allies arrived at Shungehon, a brother of the Emperor waited upon the ambassadors and offered to agree to the terms of the Allies. The ambassadors said they must be accompanied by a thousand soldiers each to Pekin. Thig the Emperor’s brother said was impossible, and immediately left for the capital. At the latest date our Minister adds, ‘The Allies wero marching upon Pekin, and were within four or five miles of it.” In the present state of affairs, he says, it is impos- sible to say how or when the difficulties between the Al- lies and the Chinese will be settled. DESPATCHAS FROM COMMANDER STRIRBLING. Despatches from flag officer Stribling, received at tho Navy Department, mention a report which had reached him, that an American bark had been seized by pirates, and nine men killed and others wounded. He at once des- patched the Saginaw to where the occurrence was said to have taken place, and, after a careful investigation of facts it turned out to be untrue, It appeared, however, that there had been a row between some drunken Ameri- cans and Chinese, the former being the aggroseors, in which they were considerably worsted. Out of this the report originated. ‘The Mayor and several other members of the city go- yernment of Boston are here, under the pretext of pro- curing an nppropriation for the preservation of the city of Borton, a duty more appropriately belonging to the Con- gressional delegation from that city—Messrs. Burlingame ‘and Rice—who are better qualified to perform the duty. IMPORTANT ¥ROM MEXICO—DEFEAT OF THK CHURCH PARTY ANTICIPATED —LARGE APPROPRIATION OF CHURCH PROPERTY BY THE PARTIZANS OF MIRAMON, Letters of a late date, the 20th of November, from the most reliable authority, have been received here from Zacatecas and Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, which state that the country was quiet and that the people universally were returning to their peaceful industrial pursuits, Some hundred thousand dollars worth of arms, pur- chased in New York a year ago by Colonel Carlos Butterfield for the government of the State of Zacatecas, had arrived and were to be forwarded immediately to the Liberal army beseiging the city of Mexico. The people everywhere on the frontier were looking with confidence to the early and complete subjugation of the church party and the final establishment of peace. Private letters from Vera Cruz state that a convention at the capital, composed of officers of the church and military, had appropriated $900,000 of the church funds to sustain Miramon in the defence of the capital On the 5th of December Juarez proclaimed that after April, 1861, all duties are to be paid in cash, half ot wnicn may be sight bills on the city of Mexico, for the purpose of paying indemnities. All goods remaining in the Custom House over one month are to be sold to pay duties. All the Foreign Ministers except the Spanish are at Jalapa. Senor Mata, late Minister to Washington, is a prominent candidate for Governor of Vera Cruz. Juarez has raised a loan of $600,000 for supplies for the army before the capital. The Kansas Sufferers.

Four per- formances wore given last week, two of “La Figlia del ‘Reggimento,” one of ‘‘Stradolla”’ and one of ‘Robert le Diabie.” Tho receipts foll far below the expenses, and the artists havo beem compelied to retire from the field. Tho only hopo for Opera this winter de- pends upon the Italian company headed by Muzio. They closed their Philadelphia season last Saturday night, with ® performance of ‘‘Moses in Egypt,’ for the benefit of Brignoli. This Opera was produced on Friday, with Colaon, Susini, Ferri and Miss Phillipe in the principal roles. The Press states that the ‘audience waa by far the fullest and the most fashionable of the season,” and gives high praise to Signor Muzio for the manner in which the Opera has been produced. The company is announced to appear in Baltimore this week. One of the most successful concerts ever given in New York took place at the Academy of Music on last ‘Thureday evening. It was for the benefit of Mr. H. Major, late of Dodworth’s bamd. The Academy was crowded to excess, and the instrumental music by the combined city bands was thoroughly appreciated. Dod- worth’s battle piece, ““A Soldier's Glory,” was the gem of the evening. ‘The National Guard band, at the solicitation of many of our influential citizens, have boen prevailed upon to give another concert similar to that given at the Academy of Music one year ago. The concert will take place at the Academy on the 12th proximo, The arrangements will ‘bo under tho direction of a committee consisting of the entire Seventh regiment. The programme will be of a diversified and interesting character, consisting of vocal ‘od instrumental music. Mr. Edward Seguin, son of the famous basso whom New York delighted to honor, has returned from Europe, where he has been perfecting himself to follow in the footsteps of his father. Mr. Seguin is a eleve of the Paris Conservatoire de Musique, and report speaks very highly of his abilities. He intends, if possible, to form an Eng- lish Opera company to appear here next spring, and to preeent three new operas, the ‘ Rose of Castille,” “ Lur- line” and “ Satanella.”” ‘Two now music halls are to be opened to the public this weck. The first is Irving Hall, situated in Irving placo, opposite the Academy of Music, It was intended that this building, which is dedicated to the muses of masic and dancing jointly, should be opened with a con- cert and ball; but owing to the absence of the Muzio Opera troupe the concert bas been postponed, and a ball will be given on We:inesday evening. A new Music Hall, in Thirty-third street, will be open- ed on Thursday evening of this week with a concert, in which Mr. C. J. Hopkins amd other popular artists will age ist. Macame Lorini, nee Whiting, has been making a senss- tion at Berlin. The National Zeitung speaks of our Yankee prima donna in the following terms:— This prima donna appeared last night as the Queen in “Semiramide.”” This is the role in which the lamented Henrietta Sontag took leave of the stage and public of Berlin, and Siguora Lorini must think it no light praise when we aver that in hor singing and acting she nearly, and in some portions of the Opera quite, equalled thai lol of the lin pnblic. ora Lorini possesses a voice of wonderfu! compass and rare flexibility. In the air “Bol raggio iusinghier’” (one of the most beautiful ever written by Rossini), also in the duet and throne eecne, she completely electrified the audience. She was several times called before the curtain amidst showers of bouquets. Jn short, her success was the most complete and perfect of any singer siace tho days of the divine Sontag. ‘Tho theatres have been doing their average business at this season of the year, We do not see that the political troubles have as yet affected the prosperity of places of public amusement. In such case the Bowery theatres would be the first to euifur, but the business both at the New Bowery, where equestrian dramas are the order of the day, and ot the old place, where Spalding & Ro- gers’ circus still holds out, has been exceedingly good. Mr. Booth has drawn well at the Winter Garden, and the Forrest nights at Niblo’s have boen as attractive asever, “The Seven fisterr’”* still remains in the bills at Laura Keene’s—the best proof of its success. The pub- lic was pot particularly pleased with “A Model Hypo- crite,” and Wallack's audiences have consequently fallen off. For this week sundry changes will be mado in tho Dille. Mr. Forrest plays Ricbard III. on this evening. Mr. Booth commences to-night the last week of his engagement, playing in “Hamlet.” On Wednos- day, Romeo, with a debutante as Juliet. Mr. Wal- lack announces for this evening Mrs. Inchbald’s comedy “To Marry or not to Marry.’? ‘The play has been com- pressed into three acts, and the principal roles ullutted to Mr. Lester Wallack, Mr. Blake, Mr. Walcott, Mrs. Hoey, Miss F. Morant and Miss Mary Gannon. At Laura Keene's theatre “The Seven Sisters’’ will be played every night this week. At the New Bowery theatre “Herne, the Hunter’ — very popular equestrian spoetacle—will be produced this evening, with a full stad of horses, new scenery, &c., &c. Messrs, W. It. Derr and J. J. Nathans, well known riders, have been especially éagaxed for this play. At the Bowory theatre Spalding & Rogers’ equestrian troupe appear ia a new and varied selection of eatertain- ments. At Barnum's ‘The Sea of Ice’’—a capital melodrama in the modern French echool—is to be the dramatic attrac- tion for the week. Bryants’ Minstrols announee for to-night a colored ver. sion of “Richard IIT.,"” and at Hooley & Campbell’s the entertainments will wind up with the famous Ethiopian chant, “Dixie's Land.”” Agteme Movnoatm.—Miss Josephine Gougenheim wil! commence an olgagement at the Howard Atheneum this evening, in tho “Irish Heiress.” Miss Gougenheim in- tend? to protece fom Taylor's last comedy, “The Babes in the Wood,” now running at the Haymarnet ueawe, London, and said to be one of tho author's happiest hits.

The critic of the True Delia win's wp a review of “Geraldine” with the statement that unless ho is “badly mistaken, nature put its sign manual of @ great tragedienne upon this youthfal star.” The latest San Francisco papers (Nov. 19) iaform us that Lyster's English Opera troupe were giving & farewoll season at Maguire's, pre- paratory to om Aastyalisa campaign.

The hus- bands of the belligerents then took up the quarrel, and Germany was coming off second best, when he drew a istol from his pocket and sent a ball spinning into Young Freland's leg. Hugheswas picked up by policeman Mc- Bride, of the Twenty-first precinct police, and brought to the station house, where he was attended by ex-Coroner Connery. The wound was at first thought to be danger- ous, but “wpon examination the physician thought the cbanoes were in favor of Hughes recovery. The ball has not yet been extracted, but it will probably be to-day. Ruyter was arrested and taken before Justice Quacken- bush, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, where he was held for examination.

Brooxiyy Navy Yano.—The present aspect of affairs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard presents a rather gloomy and in active appearance, The different departments have next to sealed their doors, and the cold spell which lately set in bas driven nearly all that portion of laborers employed ottside of cover from further operations. Besides, there has not been a penny for the last two “ pays,”” which has greatly reduced in circumstances that portion of the poorer working class who have been solely dependent on each day's labor for the support of themselves and fami- lies. of them have been compelled to soll what little was ‘due them by the government at ruinous . y e to be enabled to meet their present wants. The nei peari y- thing else ono can readily compare it to, such is the Sun- day-like aspect which it wears. The ish frigate Berenguela is the only bright spot to relieve the listless monotony of the whole, the work on which is being car- ried on night and day. She will require numerous re- pairs in places where it was not anticipated previous to going in dry dock, and that, taken in connection with the done her by the recent explosion of powder on ; Will take a longer period of time to make the necessary repairs than was first calculated on. This cold weather is almost insupportable for that portion of the crew who have been compelled to be exposed much to the inclemency of the weather.
