NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1860. LC OL ct ett THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION. OUR SPRINGFIELD CORRESPONDENCE. Svninormp, Dec. 14, 1860. The Bffect of the Union Meetings in the Kast—The Cabine— Ne Pwllic Letter to te Bupected from the President Blect— His Health—He Attends a Wedding—A Wretched Caricature—A Correction, de., dé. ‘The leading topic in Presidential circles during the last ‘Gwenty-four hours has been the Unioa dmonstrations tu (New Jersey and in Philadelphia. The proceedings of the ‘Boeeting in the last mentioned city especially attracted Bttention. Although it appears to be supposed that the lead- ers aad members of the late Union party were the prime ‘Movers and composed the buik of the attendance on both occasions, and that comparatively few republicans par- icipated, it is nevertheless evident that the tone of the Bpeeches and resolutions then and there delivered produced Ba uncomfortable feeling. It is true the information re- Ceived here from Washington and other sources warrants ‘the belief that the republican ranks in both New Jersey find Pennsylvania are yet unshaken—pauic and distress to the contrary notwithstanding. But, on the other hand, ‘be moral effect of such peace offerings as the resolves of the Philadelphia meeting upon the weak kneed members -of the party in those two States is nevertheless feared. In the Quaker City particularly much quaking is ex- pocted among the sufferers from the commercial and in- ustrial calamities entailed by the present crisis. But great reliance, however, is placed on the loyalty of the Gnterior counties of the Keystone State, that rolled up Buch tremendous majorities for the republican candidates Phe agricultural districts especially, are believed to be \nmoved, owing to their comparative natural indepen- ence. Several intimate friends of Mr. Lincoln have taken no {pains to conceal their disgust at the, as it seemed, au- thorized uso of Gov. Curtin’s name as an endorser of the Philadelphia platform. Their hints at eating dirt, &c., &e., were very plain. They think it an altogether in- explicable shift from the Chieago to the Philadelphia platform. All that I have seen and heard during the last six days {goes to confirm the assertion made in # former letter, ‘that owing to the uncertainty of the character of foming events, great hesitation is felt by the Pre- Bident elect to determine upon his constitutional Bdvisors at the present moment, and that for the Fame reason a definite selection will be put off to the latest possible moment. The result of the secession ‘conventions in the Southern States will be awaited, at all events. No difficulty will be experienced in choosing the representatives of the free States tn the Cabinet. But T ‘venture to say that with regard to those of the South, a good dealof perplexity is experienced. Advances from Some of the Southern gentlemen, frequently mentioned in wonnestion with positions, would probably prove very ‘welcome. But they are not expected to be made by them, as none will be vouchsafed to them. A ‘coming Qogetber"’ seems a rather remote contingency. I understand that the President elect has of late again Deen urged by many parties to come out with a letter @efining his executive plans in reference to the slavery Jssue, But Ido not think that he is at all disposed to change his resolution to remain silent until the time of This inauguration, and that principally in view of the growing frequency of the declarations of Southern poli Bicians, to the effect that no assurance or concession Could now induce the cotton States to forego their settled purpose to go out of the Union and attempt the construc- tion of a Southern confederacy. The appearance of Mr. Lincoln has somewhat changed fo the worse within the last week. He does not complain of any direct ailment, but that he looks more pale and Carewora than heretofore is evident to the daily ob- Berver, But whatever effect bis new responsibilities pray bave had upon his body, the vigor of his mind and the steadiness of his humorous disposition are obviously impaired. Quite a relaxation, no doubt, proved to Mr. Lincoln the folly affair that he is said to have attended last night, on fhe occasion of the marriage of his friend and cordial Supporter, Hon. 0. M. Hatch, the Secrotary of State, to ‘Bliss Enos, of this city. ‘The cut on the first page of one of your illustrated con- Semporaries, claiming to represent the lady and the ¢wo fon: of the President elect, is pronounced a wretched caricature by all that know Mr. Lincoln’s interesting family. In my letter of the Sth inst., published in the Hxkaty Of the Lith, while speaking of Hon. LN. Morris, the Gemocratic Congressman from this State, you made me fay, “Mr. Morris was always looked upon by republt fans as somewhat of a Douglasite on the slavery ques- tion.’ It should have read “somewhat ahead of ‘Yrougias on the slavery question.”” Place seekers are once more ‘few and far between.” No increased influx is looked for until the meeting of the Ftate Legisiature, in the course of next month, when “high tide is expected to set in.’ Srrivcrp, Dec. 16, 1860. Dongs of Good Nature—The Cabinet—Hon. Edward Bates—His Claims Recoynized— What He Thinks of Seces- siom— Visits Invited—John C. Fremont Pressed for Secre- tary of War, de., de. IL were asked upon what clement in the composition Of the President elect I looked as the most likely source ‘©f apprehension, I would not mention in reply either his ‘wrongly imputed hostility towards the South, nor the Alleged aggrestivenees of the party that elected him and Expects faithfulness on his part to its tenets. Nay, odd 5 it may sound, I would name, on the contrary, a quality ‘Which is by common consent considered rather laudable Sban otherwise—viz: his good nature. ‘To receive everybody with uniform kindness—to indulge the general curiosity with untiring patieace—to reply to bli questions with upvary ing readiness—to grant willing Compliance te all requests—to heed endless suggestions— may be @ very good and pleasing rule in private life. It is Goubtlessly , Likewise, an effective means of popularity in ‘public spheres; but its general observation by so high- Blationed a personage as the President of the United Btates, I venture to say, is franght with many hazards, sand that from the very abuse of those for whose benent St is practised. All that can claim the personal acquaintance of Mr incon will agree that be is the very embodiment of good temper and aifability. They will all concede that he has a kind word, an encouraging smile, « humorous re- mark for nearly every one that seeks his presence, and Bhat but few, if any, emerge from his reception room without being strongly and favorably impressed with his genial disposition. Bnt, although his visiters may leave him all thus well pleased, is it mot more Bhan probable that the pleasure is only one-sided and un, Bhared by bim that produced it? It is trae no man en Joys company more than Mr. Lincoln It is true be Joves argament, discussion, witty sayings, &e., &e., perhaps as much as any other mortal. But it may be, nevertheless, safely presumed that the sensations derived from his \ariegated intercourse are not allof an agreeable character, but that, on the contrary, they were largely Sntermingled with annoyance and perplexity Yet, notwithstanding the assertions of sensation writers—that never failing plague of political eminence in this country—the grovelling tide waiters, fawners, & phants and parasites combined in the genus “oftor sockers,” bave thus far affected him only in « slight de: gree. From present appearances, indeed, De inferred that it will not be visited him in all its virulence until after his ad- went in the White Mouse. Delay and the un welcome distance having sharpened their appetites, the Place-wanting cormorants will then beset him in close ‘file and with double fury. Retience will then have to Bupersede, to some extent, uprestratned communicative mess. Reserve must take the place of tndiseriminating Bffadility. His ears and eyes must learn to be closed at cortain times. His lips taut be trained to leer rowdy ant tanqualified responses. Ii not, the crowd will umbalanes and overwhelm him. ‘The revelations of every hour +inos the publication o the significant paragraph in reference to (lie reiectiow ui: upon representatives of the South for the Cabinet, im dest Wednesday's Jowrnal, go to coniirm my oon wietion that what was thin grid wae unequive cally meant. The language publicly uved by the friends of the President lect leaves no doub ns to bis fixed intention not to offer any ones place among | fis constitutional admirers that has lately placed himselt on record against the party that eleeted him. The Sng’ estrangement of the Southern States will rather etrengthen than weaken this rerolution. As the proba Dility of secession gradually assumes the character of certainty, the ¢ onvietion that all peace offerings will be scouted becomes Correspondingly more settled. That « porte fevi'le will not be tendered to any citizen of any State that is Likely to be carried off by the secession is certain, aa it is not desired to ran the risk of heaving « representative of a “foreign Power” in the proposed Cabinet ‘The érent of the day is the visit (by invitation) to the President elect of the Hou. Edwerd Bates, Ut Missouri The venerable Jadge arrived at a inte hour oo By. \4e7 evening. At an early bour on Saturday mornin ’S he repaired to Mr. Lincoln's room in the State House, and remained closeted with him until the public morm- ing reception commenced. The interview was renewed atone P.M., and continued umtil three o'clock. The duties of bis profession allowing but a short absence from St. Louis, the distinguished Missourian returned home on the evening train of the same day. Mr. Bates’ presence was solicited by the President elect: first, for an exchange of views on the present con dition of public affairs; and, secondly, for making tiw formal offer of @ seat in his Cabinet to the unsuccessfui rival aspirant to the republican nomination. Frank B. Blair, Jr., had been deputed as mediator during his late stay between the two high contracting powers. Through him the invitation to repair to Springfield was extended to Mr. Bates. As to Mr. Bates’ views, I am able to state that they are most decided and uncompromising on the secession ques tion. He proclaimed boldly that ‘secession is treason and must be put down.’ He furthermore urged, with great energy, that the ‘‘majesty of the federal laws should ‘be maintained at all hazards.’ It is said that he agreed with the President elect on all the leading points that be- came the subject of discussion. It is universally asserted that the Secretaryship of tho Interior was offered to Mr. Bates, and accepted by him. Tn some quarters his name was connected with the Attor- ney Generalship. The authentic information I possess warrants me, however, in contradicting the offer of the last mentioned office. In addition to Mr. Bates, several Eastern politicians of note have been invited hither. The invitations are re ported to have been made through Senator Trumbw! ‘The recipients are expected here in the course of the noat fortnight. John ©. Fremont is strongly pressed for Secretary of War by Ohio influences. ‘The last express is also suid to have brought several strong Is in his favor from California. Later from Havana.

The road is nearly: finished and was expected to be completed to-day. The band car proceeded from the junction of the New York and Erie Railroad with laborers for that purpose, followed by the engine. The engineer is said to have runaway im- mediately after the collision. State of Trade of Buffalo and Oswego. Osweeo, Dec. 19, 1560.

Wisner Gaxney.—Debutantes are plenty this season We have not yet reached the Christmas holidays, and we have already had two candidates for histrionie laurels. Both mild, both from what are called the upper classes, and both promising well for the future. gMiss Amy Eiliott undertook, last night, rather higher flight than that exsayed by Mies Henriques, bat has no occasion this morning to regret her temerity, She played Juliet, one of the most difficult characters in the whole range of the English drama, to the Romeo of Mr. Edwin Booth. Mr. Booth is just now the fashion with Young New York, masculine and feminine, and Miss Elliott has been threatening to come out for so long a time that her debut was quite a relief, and therefore, though the night was what the sailors term “dirty,” the cozy Winter Garden was filled in every part with an dience of course ‘brilliant and fashionable. Mise FlLote is a brunette, young and fair to look upon, with a fine stage face, splendid eyes, and, as the poets say, ‘a wealth of raven bair.”’ She reads intelligently, is graceful, was considerably seared, and seemed to lack power for the more intense scenes of the play, Her deficiency in this respect may have been owing to stage fright, which, like sea sickness, is more disagreeable than dan gerous. Before criticising Mies Filott closely we intend to see her again; and, in the meantime, can say that her debut was one of the most sue- coseful that we remember to have witnessed in the course of a rather extended and not always agreeable ex- perience in that way. Her line we should judge to be comedy or domestic drama, rather than tragedy. Melpo- mene is the most exigeant of the muses. Mr. Booth’ Romeo was not up to his usual mark. It was simply a clever and showed no sign of that genius which thia actor's admirers claim for him. Physically, Mr. Booth is the bean ideal of Romeo, and at times he re alized the author’ Dyott's Mer. cutio was pleasant, less disagreeable. We do not purpose to enter into any particulars as (o so unimportant @ matter. and attempt to “ay who were the worst. Surrogate’s Office. Before Raward C.

SEVEN STORY BUILDING—LO088 ABOUT $100,000. Shortly after five o'clock last night a fre broke out ox’ the fifth floor of the doubie building, Nos. 26 and 28 Fran “fort street, in the premises of Barnett & Oo., maufac urers of daguerreotype cases.

It was seven stories in ‘eight in front and nine stories in the rear, about fifty fect in width and one hundred feet deep. The flames raged furiously, and at one time bid fair to make a disas- trous fire. The large double tenement honse 35 and 37 Frankfort street, caught fre on the roof, and also on the third and fourth floors. The exertions of the firemen, aided by the steam fire engines, prevented the fire from extending to the building 22.and 24, but when the east wall fell in it crushed in the roofs of the buildings 30 and 82. The buildings were owned by Mr. Jas. Sullivan, and occupied by Mr. Desmond and Wm. Martin, as dwellings. Every exertion was made by the firemen to extinguish the fire, Dut potwithstanding their exertions the entire building was destroyed. ‘The building was provided with Pipes to let on steam on each floor, and when the tire was irat discovered the steam was let on, but not, however, until too late to extinguish the fire.

STATIORNT OF MX, JENKINS TO THK FIRE MARSHAL Shortly after five o'clock I went to the sixth story to ascertain how the work was getting along. This or was my press room. While I stood talking to the, fore- man I discovered smoke, 1 inquired of the foreman where the smoke came from. He replied he did not know. He then walked towards the window and saw amcke issuing through the crevices inthe floor, He ex- claimed “The room below is all on fire.’ Bolioving that to be the case, I instantly ran down to Weeks & Co., on the third floor, informed them about the fire. Their’ porter went up stairs with a crow bar to break open the door. I then burried to my office, called up the tube to the fore- man on the seventh foor to hurry down. ‘The engineer let on the steam, and, I thought, somewhat subdued the fire. At the time the fire was discovered I had between fifty and sixty hands at work—they all secaped without injury, The fifth floor was occupied by Mr. Harnett, daguerrian case manufacturer; the fire originated in his place.

TI. Tem Porsoms Scalded—Several Sertously Hovpt Injured—Their Removal to t tal, &e. Yesterday morning, as the steamboat Commonwealth, of the Norwich line, was on her way to this city, just as she reached Throgg's Neck, an explosion took place in the starboard steam pipe, and the steam rushed out with fearful violence among the deck or steerage passengers, severely scalding ten persons and injuring eight ao badly that they had to be removed to the hospital upon their arrival in this city. ‘The accident was caused by 9 defect in the iron, as the part was forced out, bursting the rivets. The steam burst into the fire room, aad from thence to the deck, where there were ® number of persous gathered. It completely surrounded them, and the consequence was ‘that some of them inhaled it, aud that portion of their Dodies that was exposed was severely blisterod; mearly all of those who were scalded suffered in the face, arms and hands. Prompt remedies were immediately applied to the sufferers, and Captain Williams andthe clerk of the boat did everything im their power to: allevinte the sufferings of the unfortunate people. There was one whole family—the Blakes—scalded; the mother and danghter seriously, and the father and son slightly. Of course the exptosion created a panic on board, and fears were entertained that a fire would break out, and it was some time before the fears of the pas- sengers could be allayed and order restored. When this was done the steamer proceeded on her way to New York. Having buta short distance to go. the accident did not prevent her doing 80. Owing to the same thing there fortunately was but little steam oa, else the eflects must have been disastrous, As it the steam was so bot as to blister the paint on the pillars, ata distance of fullone hundred feet from the fire room. Before the Commonwealth arrived at her dock a col: lection was made up for the sufferers, some of whom were really in waut. The steamer was lying at anchor at the time, waiting for daylight, the hour being four A. M.
