THE REBEL CABINET. &e., SKETCHES OF THOSE WHO COMPOSE IT, THE SECRETARY OF STATE. Judah P. Benjamin, receutly appointed the chief of the rebel State Department, is a native of St. Thomas, nd is aman of about fifty years of age. His persona, ‘@ppegrance is pleasant, his features rather feminine, bis ‘womplexion dark and his stature of the medium size. fle practised law in Louisiana, in which State he held gmany important positions, such as member of both ‘houses of the Legislature, Judge of the Superior Court, ‘member of the Constitutional Convention, &c. He bad a Garge interest in the Garay grants for the Tehuantepec route, and is, besides, the owner ofa large sugar estate fend refinery. In politics he was at onetime a radical whig. He has recently filled the position of rebel Secre- tary of War. THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. ‘©. G. Memminger, the Secretary of the Treasury ef the rebel Cabinct, is a native of South Caro Mins. He never was distinguizhed by his connec” ion with the government at Washington, but has filled the position of Secretary of State and Chair- man of the Committec of Ways and Means in the Le- of South Carolina. He strongly opposed tho mullidcation doctrine, but was afterwards identified with he co-operative secession party. He went to Virginia as ©@ commissioner from his State on the subject of the Joba Brown raid. His visit resulted in nothing decisive. Be represented South Carolina as a deputy in the frst or Provisional rebel Congress, and is con: red a splendid @nancier. If he can make anything out of the present Gtate of the rebel treasury he is worthy of that conside @ation. THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. S.R. Mallory, the chief of the rebel Navy Depart mont, is a native of Florida. Ho practised as a lswyer at Key West, and in 1850 was choson by his native State as delegate to the celebrated Nashville Convention, but Geclined. In 1851 ho was elected United States Senator for Florida, and served ten years, when, at the breaking Out of the rebellion, he, with other traitors, withdrew from the Senate. He was many years Chairman of the Benate Committee on Naval Affairs. His position must be anything but an enviable one in the present condition of the rebel navy. THE POSTMASTER GENERAL. John H. Reagan, who fills the position of head of the @obel Post Office Department, is a native of Sevier coun- 4y, Tennessee, where he was born on the 8thof Octover, 1818. He is, consequently, in his forty-fourth year. He is a lawyer by profession, and has occupled many civic @nd military positions in Texas, to which State he emi- grated many yoars since. In 1852 he was appointed Judge of the District Court of Texas, and in 1857 he was elected a momber of the Thirty-fifth Congress, and was chosen to sit on several committoes. What his talents may be to enable him to fill so important a position as Postmaster we have not yet learned. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. ‘Thomas H. Watts, the newly appointed Attorney Gene, ral of the rebel confederacy, is a citizen of the State of Alabama. He is not particularly noted in the political ‘world, and has not prominently been brought forward in his own State until recently, when he ran for Governor of Alabama. The election took place on the Sth of August, 1861, and he was beaten by Governor Shorter, he being floft far behind when the poll was closed. THE SECRETARY OF WAR. George W. Randolph, the present Secretary of War in the rebel States, is a man unknown tofame. He fills the position recently vacated by Judah P. Benjamin, and comes into office to see the scattering of the rebel forces. Our Baltimore Correspond: Battimone, March 24, 1862: Arrival of Two Steamers with Arms and Ammunition on Board at Southern Ports—Operations of General Jackson and General Henry Heth om the Left of the New Rebel Defenswee Line—How the Surrender of Fort Donelson was Bronght About, &e. Thave received to-day full confirmation of the facts in fegard to the recent arrival at Southern ports of two large Btoamers loaded with artns and gunpowder. One of them ‘eas the steamer Miramon, from Havana. The other was he steamer Victoria. Among the passengers in these ‘vosnols was a bearer of despatches from Mr. Slidell, in Paris, to the Confederate government in Richmond. Tho Genor of hse despatches has not transpired, but may be feadily conjectured by what this gentleman (who is now @» Richmond, direct from Paris) says in regard to the fatate of fooling in the French capital. He says thot Mr. Blidel! and bis wife are much liked in Court circles, and @njoy every social advantage, but that the present and recent gloomy aspect of American affairs (ho refers to the rocent Confederate reverses) forbids Mr. Slideli to hope for recognition or for favors of any kind from France ‘Mr. Slidell is convinced that there will be no change in thig wondition of affairs until the fortune of war changes at home, and until the Confederate arms shall gain some Pubstantial advantages. As soon as this takes place Mr. Blicell is confident that he will stand on a very diferent footing at the French Court than the one he now occu- pies. Inthe meantime he has sent the most pressing exhortations to Jef. Davis to raise more troops and to ssuino the offensivo. | 1 have learned to day a'so some additional facts of In- Borost in relation to the actual condition of affairs along the oxtreme loft of tho new defensive line of the rebels, Trom Lewisburg, in Greenbrier county, Va.,to Magafly fown, 6m the Shenandoah, jo Rockingham county. The Cofence of this part of the line bas been assigned to Geavral Jackson, aud the greater part of his troops, re | NEW YURK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH. 26, 1862:-TRIPLE SHEET. cently at Winchester and Strasburg, are already dis” tributed upon it. His rear guard still lingers near Win- chester, and it was the regiments composing it that fought in the battle of yesterday, the 23d. There is @ rumor here to-day that Jackson's whole force has been ordered to retrace their steps, go back to Winchester, and from thence to Romney, and then to make demon- stration either on Cumberland, or on some point in Penn- sylvania, or against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. General Henry Heth, with his staff and a squadron of cavalry, arrived at Lowisburg on the 22d of February, and has been there, aud at Staunton and Covington ever since, Before the arrival of any part of Jackson’s troops he had under his own command five regiments of 800 men each, making 4,000 troops. With these, and such negro aid as he could get, he has been engaged in fortifying the mountain passes north of the Covington and Gordonsville Railroad. He will now act as second in command to Gen, eral Jackson. He is well known (0 many officers in the present United States Army as an old brother officer, and was one of tho most skilful and scientific men in the old army. IfI mistake not, General Scott has handsomely complimented him as an engineer officer in ono of his published reports. Ihave also # very important fact in regard to the sur- render of Fort Donelson. On Friday, February 14, Gene- ral Johnston, who was then preparing to evacuate Bow- ling Green, sent a tolographic despaich to General Pillow, asking hun if he needed any more troops? if he did, be would send him all he wanted immediately. Johnston could have done this, as there was a diroct railroad com- munication between them, with plenty of cars. But Pil- low never got the despatch. At tho end of the telograph line nearest to Fort Donelson was an operator who was & Unionist at heart, althovgh he did not dare to express his Sentiments. He kept the despatch, thorefore, instead of forwarding it to Pillow,and on the next day, Saturday, telvgraphed back in Villow'smame to General Johnston, saying that he had no need of reinforcements, and that the was abundantly able to maintain his position. On Saturday evening he again telegraphed to Jobnston in Pillow’s name, stating that he was fighting gloriously, and would be able on the next day to drive off the Union troops. On receiving these despatches, purporting to come from Pillow, General Johuston took no steps to succor the rebels at Fort Donolson, and they were forced to surrender. The deception of the operator was dis- covered, and he was captured juat as he was trying to escape to the Union lines. He was hung by sentence of a court martial.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard. Since our last report of affairs in the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, the sloop-of-war Roanoke bas been placed under the shears, and over two hundred men set to work dismantling her, She is already cut down some six feet, and is to be converted into an iron-clad battery. The operatives in other portions of the yard continue hard at work, and the work in thoir bands. is progressing rapidly. In fact, every department in the yard presents ‘an unusual scene of activity. 3 ‘The names of vessels thore at prosent are :— Receiving ship. Dismantling. Dismantled, Dismantied. Repairing in dry dock. Receiving machinery. Preparing for armament. o. Freperae for armament. the stocks. on the stocks. The new side-wheel gunboat Port Royal is receiving her machinery at Stack’s yard, Brooklyn. The Mystic is still at Greenpoint, and the Adirondack is baving her machinery put on board at the Allaire works. ‘There are about two hundred marines at present at the barracks, under command of Captain Garland. THR NEW UNITED STATES FRIGATE FRANKLIN—NE- CESSITY OF PLATING HER WITH IkON—COMPARI- SON WITH OTHER VESSELS, ETC., ETC. It ig not geuorally known by the public at large, eapo- cially by those persons unconnected with the navy—and it even appears to have been forgotten by the Navy De- partment itself—that for the last four or five years there has been on the stocks, and at this moment is ready to be launchet,a magnificent frigate of fifty-one guns. All that is necessary is that proper provision should be made for the building of her engines, and for plating her with iron in the most approved and effective manner, and ina very short time there would be added to our navy ano- thor of those impregnable iron ships on which alone we can depend in the future. In 1853 the old ship-of-the line Franklin was sent to the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, N. H1., for repairs. The mode of repairing considered the most judicious by the then Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Dobbin, was to take her en- tirely to pieces, and build in her stead a first class steam frigate. This was done out of the fund which Congress appropriates every year for repairs ; but the machinery could not be built from that fund, because the old Frank- lin never had any machinery to be repaired, either by placing with new of otherwise; and as Congress, soon after this, appropriated money for building six large first class steam frigates, which, since their completion, have been considered, until now, sufficient to perform the vieo we require of that class of vessels the money neces. sary for furnishing this machinery has never been pro. vided, Now, however, when the nation has seen how nearly we havo been to the necessity of meeting upon tho seas the powerful navy of England, it is hoped there will no longer be any delay in comploting this vessel, and in fron-plating her after the manner suggested by our late improvements, In 1856, before the demon of secession had exhibited itself in the South, and while the United States Navy was rising into great importance, we sent the Merrimac upon a cruise to European waters. The English at once per- ceived that throughout their immense navy thoy had no vessel competent to cope with her, and immediately laid the keels of fivo steam frigates, which they con- sidered would be equal to the five we had just completed, of which the Merrimac was the type. Of these five English frigates the Mersey is a sample. Below we give the dimensions and armamant of the Merrimac, the Mer. sey 6nd the Franktin.— z }: Merrimac.

Upper deck—Fourteen eight-inch guns, weighing 6,200 pounds each, to throw shells of fifty-three pounds, and two ten-inch pivots, weighing 12,000 pounds eack, to throw shells of 104 pounds. ‘Total guns, 40; total complement of men, 570. ARMAMENT OF THE MERSEY. Main ceck—Twonty-sight ten-inch guns, weighing 9,500 pounds each, to throw shells of eighty-feur pounds, Upper deck—Twolre eight-inch pivots, weighing 10,640 pounds each, to throw solid shot of 68 pounds Total guns, 40; total complement of men, 600. PROPOSED ARMAMENT OF THE FRANKLIN, Main deck—Thirty nineinch guns, weighing 9,300 pounds cach, to throw shells of seventy-five pounds Upper deck—Kighteen nine-inch guns, weighing 9,00 pounds each, to throw shells of seventy-t pounds; two @leven-inch pivots, weighing 15,000 pounds each, to throw shells of 135 pounds; and one seven anda half. inch rifled pivot, weighing 16,700 pounds, to throw shollg of 150 pounds. Total guns, 51; total complement, 700 men. ‘Tho weight of broadside thrown from either of these vessels would therefore be as follows:— Merrimac. Mersey. + 1,652 Ibs. + 21220 Ibs. It will be seon that, although tho Mersey class is supo- rier to the Merrimac, the Franklin, though not so long, has greater boam and a heavier armament than the Eng- lish frigate; indeed, there would probably be little doubt in the minds of naval men that she could cepo success- fully with the most powerful ship-of-the-line in the Eng lish navy. The heaviest armament carried by the Vic- toria class, having a steam power equal to the Mersey, is as follows: Lower deck—Thirty-two eight-inch guns, of sixty-five ewt., to throw shells of fifty-three pounds. Middle deck—Thirty eight-inch guns, of sixty-five cwt., to throw shells of fifty three pounda. Main deck—Thirty-two thirty-two-pounders, of Afty- eight cwt., to throw solid shot of thirty-two pounds. Upper deck—Twenty-six thirty-two-pounders, of forty- two cwt., to throw solid shot of thirty-two pounds, and one sixty-eight pivot, of ninety-five ewt., to throw solid shot of sixty-eight pounds—121 guns. Total complement, 1,150 men. The weight of the broadside thrown by this vessel is 2,639 pounds, which would not be considered, in our service, as sufficiently above that of the Franklin to com- pensate for the increased calibre of the guns in the latter versel. We draw attention to this matter and make-the above comparison, not only to show the importance of at ouce completing the Fraiiklin, and to'make her ‘a thoroughly impregnable irom battery, but to present ber aga class of which wo ought immediately to lay the keels of as many as our shipyards ‘can conveniently build at one time—probably about six—and when they are done to commence immediately an equal number, and 60 ov. Our smaller class of vessels, which hereafter must con- sist almost entirely of iron gunboats and iron-clad bat teries, are important auxiliaries to a navy,ana can be used with great effect against thoir kind or against shore batteries and forts; but to mect the power- ful frigates and ships-of-the-line, which also will be irom and steel clad, and which will sweep with irresistible force a nation’s commerce from a broad ocean, we must build vessels of equal power and strength, which we ought to do by the exercise of our invontive genius. Eight or ten millions a year expended in this direction, instead of parceiling it out to political favorites for ser- vicos that the country would be better without, would make England think twice ere she would challenge us to a war before she fully ascertained that sho really had suflicient cause. ‘The question of iron ships is now the only great naval problem of the age. This will in itsolf be enough to keep all the scientific machinists and enginoors of Europe and America constantly occupied for years to come. Let our government gee to it that no nation be allowed to get abead of us. Plate the Franklin at once, and plate every vessel after that we build, and when we have iron-plated navy, we may rest secure, and not till then. ‘THE STEAM GUNBOAT NAUGATUCK. ‘Tho steam gunboat Naugatuck, which has been fitted up and presented to the government by Mr. E. A. Stevens, is finished. She will be put into commission to-day, and proceed on her trial trip. She would have been ready several days ago but for an ordor from the government directing that the monster Union gun, at present at the Rip Raps, should be substituted for the 100-pound rifled gun. The order has been countermanded, and the rifled gun has been remountod, ‘The Naugatuck, about which eo much has beon said and written,and from which so much is oxpocted, is an iron screw steamer, constructed in the usual way, all being secured with beums and angle bars of the best material. The lines of the hult arc not unusually sharp, as is the case with the famed Stevens battery, but pre- sent very much the appearance of one of our old fash- joned Sound propoilers. She is not, as is general, ly supposed, intended to be a model of the Stevens battery, but is merely designed to illustrate some of the novel ideas connected with that monster engine of war—namely, tho abitity to sink and raise a veasol with great rapidity; to steer and manago her by means-of two propellers located at each-side of the rud- der, and taking up the recoil of the gun by means of India rubber. Experiments already made have proved the succesful attainment of these points to her constructors, but yet remain unsatisfactory on the mind of the public. ‘The hull of the vessel is constructed of iron, 101 feet in length, 20 foot beam, and7 feet depth of hold. Sho draws 534 feot light, and 9 feet whea submerged; and her speed, it is calculated, will be eloven miles per hour when light, and five and a half when submerged. The principal features for hor protection from shot and shell are, first, tho sottiing of the vessel two feet lower in the water when going into action, by means of water tight compartments, two feet deep, betweon the maia deck and outer covering, 80 arranged as to be rapidly filled or emptied by powerful steam pumps. This does away with the necessity of carrying the weight of tw« feet of iron armor; while it substitutes, to the greatest possible extent, the best koowa armor, water; for ex- perience has taught that when a ball strikes water iy takes an upward direction, and will, therefore, prove perfectly barmicss; and, im this instance, should a ball pass through the deck, it must pass through the bulwarks, unseen and unheard by those be- tween decks. This peculiar arrangement will also give greater speed to the vessel while cruising, chasing or retreating, inasmuch as it will be able to throw over- board the weight of the two feet of water between decks, and for the same reason to pass over bars and into har- bors which she could not otherwise reach. Second: the use of an iron clad bow, curved inwards, and plated with two layers of haif inch plates, strongly rivetted and bolted, presents the appearance of aram, which, no doubt, could be effectively used for running down wooden vessele, The curving on the bow is so admirably ar- ranged that only by the merest chance would a bali strike any spot at right angles, and so must glance off. and when submerged she presents but a small surface upon which the eneiny can bring their cannon to bear. Hor sides above water line are made of white cedar, fully one foot thick, which 18 so soft im its nature as to allow a ball to pass through without splintering. ‘The machinery, which is situated abaft midship, con- sists or two horizontal high pressure engines, fourteen inch cylinder and twenty-four inch stroke, working in- dependent of each other, and driving the two propelle: at either side of the rudder; an ordinary locomotive boiler, two double oscillating donkey engines, driving two of Andrews’ pumps, capable of throwing out nine bundred gallons of water per minute. The ability of this vessel to round rapidly on her own centre, without making headway, by means of the two screws, instead of the ordinary means employed in making the circuit of a vessel, gives her remarkable and important facilities for mancouvring in action. In couneetion with her speed, it will enable her to overhaul one after another of the enemy; run close alongside; present herself for action in the most efloctive position; bring her big gun to bear in avy direction; turn in narrow channels, and, if necossa- ry, retreat in any direction with facility. The two screws form two distiuct means of propulsion—that of driving the vessel and enabling her to be steered in case of accident to the rudder, which is double the ordinary security against the breakage of machinery in action or otherwise. ‘The armament Consists of one one-hundred pound rifled gun and two of James’ twelve-pounder howitzers. Tho heavy gun is mounted amidships, pointed towards the bow, and is loaded from below, by depressing the muzzle downwards, which is effected by means of pulleys, in geniously constructed for that purpose. This gun i, loaded by means of a moveable charger, which can be raised or lowered at pleasure, The ramming is accom. plished by @ sort of piston rod, elevated on a line with the muzzle of the gun, which js also worked by pulleys, thus affording the celority of loading and firing every half minute. This gun resis on a shot-proof iron car, riage, of which the recoil (only six inches) is taken up by the employment of large India rubber springs. Tho hull is divided into four water-tight compartments, and on descending the gangway of cither of these com partments you find yourself upon the second deck, in a small {roo box, yet having ample accommoda- tion for the purposes for which they have been assigned, The cook’s galley is situated at the bow; next come the sailors’ apartments. then the magazine and rondezvous for action; and, next to th tho engine room, which isj abaft midship. The office quarters are on deck, comfortable looking, but rather limited. . When in action but one person is necessarily exposed Annexed is list of the officers:— Temporary Commander—W . W. Shipman.

Her materials, build aad workmanship are of more than ordinary etrength and beauty, and her tonnage is about 1,367 tons. Her di’ mensions are:—Length of keol, 205 feet; beam, 38 foot; depth of hold, 16 feet 1034 inches; and draught is on: timated at oight foet. She is ordered to be hurried up with every possible spesd, and it is expected that sho will be finished and ready for sea in six weeks. There is some talk about having her iron clad, in which we place very little confidence; for the advantago which would result from the additional draught which would necossa” rily follow, a8 well as the increased labor on hor engines, is very doubtful, whilo hor rato of speed would bo much decreased.

Sworp Preseytation.—Among the recently exchanged Union prisoners that bave arrived in this city from Riehmond, was Lieutenant John S. Whyte, of Company B, Seventy-ninth regiment N. Y. 8S. M. He was with his regiment at the battle of Bull run in July last, and discharged his duty on that eventful day until taken prisoner by the rebels. Ho could easily have effected his escape; but, refusing to de- gert his superior officer, Captain Farish, who was una- ble, from exhaustion, to retreat, both were captured. gince that period Lieutenant Whyte bas remained a pri- soner of war in Richmond, until recently exchanged. Having announced his determination to rojoin his regi- ment in the field, and again fight the battles of his adgpted country in the ranks of his old regimont, the Highland Guard, a fow of his intimate friends resolved to present him with » handsome sword, sash and belt, as a slight acknowledgement of their esteem and respect fur his gallantry and patriotism.

Scarcely any benevolent or religious institution belonging to his sect exists in this city which does not owe something to the exertions of Horace Holden.

The elec- tion was originally declared void, from the «l- leged fact that Colonel Price did’ not receive a plurality of votes, Inthe meantime a second election was held, resuiting in the ehoice of Col.

Ho called on Saturday moroing, took the lad away, and published his letter on the next day (Sunday), s: ing that he had not been able to obtain his child.

Total 73 1860. 1861. + $1,638,836 1.411.242 17,089,024 28,061,411 Since January 1....$18,777,860 30,372,653 This statement makes up for the falling off last week; the aggregate, however, is still a trifle below that of last year. Rather more than half of the above went to Great Britain, and consisted chiefly of articles of food. It will be remembered, how~ ever, that even so large an export os that above reported is far from supplying the bills required to pay for our imports of dry goods and foreign merchandise. Money continued fairly active at 6 a 7 per cent. Old established houses in high credit get as much money as they want at 6; younger firms, whose credit is not so well established, pay 7. Paper of the highest grade sells at 6% a7 per cent. The demand for 7.30 Treasury notes was better to-day. Mr. Cisco had quite a large number of applications for them at par. The banks are asking a small premium on the three millions they took yesterday, Foreign exchange has been inactive all day, and closes on the basis of 111% 4112 for bankers’ sterling bills, and 5.05 a 5.0714 for francs. A rumor gained ground this morning that the government was anxious to draw for some £80,000 or £90,000 which it has lying idle in London, and Mr. Cisco has been freely visited by exchange brokers with a view to business. He refused an offer of 111%, we believe, and has not yet sold the bills, Indeed, he informs us that they are not in the market. Gold continues active, without marked change in price. To-day it declined {. If public rumor be believed, we rather understated than overstated the amount sold short in the article in this morn- ing’s paper. The stock market has been dull all day, and prices lower. The decline and the dulness are due to a prevailing anxicty to hear from the Army of the Potomac. The slowness of the military movements does not suit the temper of Wall street operators, whose patience seems to be well nigh exhausted. There has been fair business done to-day in governments, of which some parcels have been taken fomforeign account under orders brought by the America. They close, however, 4% lower.

Flour was still declining on the 14th. Wheut was heavy at the previous decline of 1d.a2d. Indian corn had met with a further decline of 6d. a Is. Provisions were steady. Private advices state that American securities show less activity than was reported by the America, the supply having become very short, most of the stocks and bonds having been withdrawn.
