THE EAGLE. SPENCER <t SCHIRMEYER, Pxnmrrrnis. DEOATTTR, INDIANA. THURSDAY HDRMNG. J»N I, IR«3. t.: —■———- : Trouble in the Cabinet. The wooly-hcads in Congress held a cnuemi and were about taking steps to secure the removal of Secretary Seward. — Seward finding out their object and proceedings promptly tendered his resignation. Secretary Chase also tendered !i is resignation The President after some consideration refused to accept either, and they were withdrawn, Seward and Chase promptly returning to their respective duties. It is said that there was a fight in the Cabinet, or in milder terms, the quarrel in the Cabinet resulted in blows. Fight is the order cf the day, it is no wonder that the Cabinet catch the spirit of the times. It occurs to us however that this is no time for bickering and quarrels, but a time when counsel and wisdom are needed. Seward is the best man in the Cabinet though he is far from what he oughttobe.it would be a pity to have him removed and a more radical man in his place. Had the wool y-hc ads requested the President to resign, they would have evinced more sound sense and patriotism. They may remove, ehang, reorganize and work over the abolition machine as often as they please and it w ill be the same destructive thing to the interests of the country in the end that it now is.— Their moving principle and course of act ion are contrary to onr interest 1 ; and their duties. A change of men will effect nothing unless those men are of different rrinciple from those now administering the government. No reorganization can do any good, unless an honest adininutratioa be substituted for the present one. The Proclamation. In accordance with his intention pub- 1 Itched in his abolition proclamation num- i her one, the President is preparing his ab ' o.ition proclamation number two to take , effect to day, whereby all slaves are to be made free. “Father Abraham'* to be im- ■ r i’izc- i and the abolitionists to be ap- ' ’eased.

' Democratic Party and the War Ne Pres: tent of the United States has erer received a more generous, earnest *:>l >g-v.kr support than President Lincoln received in the prosecution of the ■«-ar from the Democratic party, up to the issue of the emancipation proclama-, tton. This support was without conditicn. tare in one respect. The soldition was that the « ar should be conduc-j ted to the end as it had been prof.-s-edly undertaken tor the preservation of the constitution and the restoration of the I’nirn. with all! the rights of States unimpaired. This generous, earnest and sincere ■ support has not been wholly withdrawn, though it mu.»t be confesse I that it has been greatly diminished. It has not been wholly withdrawn because the proclamation ofthe 22d of September was only preliminary and the threatened manifesto on the Ist of January might be withheld. If the threatened manifesto shall be issued, it will change the whole character of the war It will make it a war not only of subversion of the political constitution of the country, but of sudden, radical and inevitably ruinous revolution in the social and industrial relations ofthe people. It will make a war to liberate and enfranchise four millions ofsemi-sav-age negroes and to establish them as the people of sovereign States. Such a war the Democratic party will not support. We say this deliberately and with solemn emphasis. To support it would be a hideous wrong in the -ight of heaven and a monstrous crime against mankind. We need not multiply wools here. We know the* temper of the Dem ocratic party and we know that in this

wc represent it truly. It President Lincoln would recover the support of this party let him retrace his step*. Let h>m withhold his threatened revolutionary edict—let him withhold every other revolutionary measure —let him remove from about him the authors and abettors of these measures—let him dedare again that the war is purely and solely for the restoration of the Union, and let him call about him faithful and competent counsellors, the records of whose lives will commend them to the contldt'iH’e of all true Union men all ovethe country —let him do these things and the Support of him by the Democratic party will again be as generous earnest and sincere as it was hi, the beginning.—Chi. Time*. The State Sentinel of Saturday says. ' The Jth cavalry left yesterday for the borders. Wo have heard that they are : > be employe-1 in the river counties of Isentnckv in, charing that region of the g-w>rril;a hand? that are said to infest (.ten.

War News. Washington, Dec. 24. Times’ special says. Gov. Pierpont has written the President a letter in regard • to the admission of Wes ern Virginia as • a State in w hich he says the refusal of the . president to sign the bill w ill be a fatal ■ blo w to the loyalists of that State and tan . tamonnt to their delivery to the tender mercy of the Richmond Regency. The Secretary of war has authorized the Indian Bureau to raise two additional ■ Indian regiments for service as a home guard in Southern Kansas and the Indian , Territory. Several soldiers belonging to a New Jersey regiment. on the recent advance , of our army across the Rappahannock into Fredericksburg, captured from the vaults of a Fredericksburg bank over 30, 000 dollars in ten and twen y dollar gold pieces, and a large quantity ot bank paper. It is a well founded belief here that Secretary Chase will soon lead to the hymeneal altar the accomplished widow of the late Senator Douglas. Tribune s special says, it is now certain that the President will stand fast by the police announced in his proclamation of freedom of September 22d. lie is alreadv engaged in considering the terms of the proclamation to be issued on New 1 Year's day The President has also made up his mind to garrison Southern Forts with black soldiers who w ill also be used to protect the navigation of the great rivers soon to be opened to commerce.
