Retaliatory measures.

--A Washington telegram says:

‘ In reply to a request of the President, it is understood that each member of the Cabinet has submitted in writing his opinions in regard to retaliatory measures toward the rebels, on account of the massacres at Fort Pillow and Plymouth. The opinion of Attorney General Bates is said to be in opposition to any such a course. Whatever policy may be adopted, no formal public declaration of it will probably be made.
