Resignation of Federal officers.
We noticed the fact a few days ago that a large number of Federal officers had resigned their commissions during the past month.
We are enabled to give below a full list of those who have thus prudently detached themselves from that hazardous and unpopular service into which a mistaken idea of true patriotism had led them.
Some familiar names will be observed.
