The Southern Cabinet --A Washington dispatch to the New York Herald says that according to news from Montgomery, President Davis was arranging his Cabinet, and it was understood that the following will probably be the cast: Secretary of State, Herschell V. Johnson, Ga.; Secretary of War, P. O. Hider, La; Secretary of the Navy, S. R. Mallory, Fla.; Secretary of the Interior, W. Porcher Miles, South Carolina; Post-Office Department, J. H. Hemphill, Texas; Attorney General, John A. Elmore, Ala. Should Benjamin be made Attorney General, instead of Elmore, John Forsyth will go into the War Department. Messrs. Toombs and Slidell will probably be sent as Ambassadors to England and France respectively.

From Washington. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Feb. 18, 1861. The resolutions introduced in the Virginia Convention on Saturday are fine specimens of humor. Our Republican brethren have been very much amused by them, I should think. For sonorous and brassy resolves, two weeks after they can be of any account except as farcical commentaries on tame and feeble action, give me your Virginia against the world. President Davis' allusions to Southern gun powder, etc., rival Lincoln's jocose babbling about an artificial crisis. Good taste and discretion seem to have evacuated the American mind. That Southern people will fight — that they will carry the war into Africa if it is ever begun, nobody doubts; but gunpowder threats do not become a President. The scare occasioned here by the report that the Peace Congress had broken up in a row, or would soon do so, has subsided. A swindle of some sort will be hatched up. Emerson Etheridge, talking t

ported the following, viz: President--Jos. S. Garson. 1st Vice President--Col. McPherson, 2d Vice President--Chas. J. Baker. Secretaries--J. Asbury Morgan,--Watts. The report was adopted. A motion was made to appoint a committee to prepare business for the Convention. Mr. Gant, of Anne Arundel county, Md., opposed this motion, and offered a resolution repudiating, in strong terms, the new chapter on slavery adopted by the late General Conference at Buffalo. Mr. Davis, of Washington city, was opposed to the resolution. If you view the new chapter condemning slavery as a sin indiscriminately, or making a new test of membership, he repudiated it as strongly as any one. But there was the very issue. There was a difference as to the meaning. Mr. Ridgely of Baltimore county, desired to avoid mere resolutions of opinion as not the thing demanded. He wanted a committee to prepare business. On motion, the resolution of Mr. Gant was laid on the tab

if men will mix with thieves, they may expect to share the penalty. Mr. G, said that he repudiated the imputation as false. Mr. Wilson said, that in giving the Black Republican compromise resolution he merely wanted to show the animus of the North. The following questions were propounded to the Bishop, and answered in writing. By Mr.--,--Is there anything in the Discipline which presents a barrier to the ordination of a traveling slaveholder? Answer — No. By J. N. Davis — Are the interpretations of the doctrine of the Church by the Bishops authoritative? Answer.--Certainly not. I am not aware of having given any interpretation of Church doctrine. By what constitutional power was the New Chapter introduced into the Discipline by the General Conference? Answer — By the same power by which any other matter is introduced which is not contrary to the restrictive rules. By Isaac Gibson.--Doesn't the New Chapter determine the moral position <

following items of interest: The first war vessel put afloat by South Carolina since the War of Independence, 1776, was bought by Gov. Pickens at Richmond, and altered for service, armed with twenty-four pounders, and regularly equipped. She started last night on the harbor defence, with her complement of enlisted men: Lieut. T. B. Huger, commanding, with 1st Lieut. Doner and lieut. Grimball. She is ready. for her work of defence, and Gov. Pickens has directed her to be named Lady Davis in compliment to the lady of the first President of our Confederate States. A close observation with the aid of a large glass, shows that the parapet guns facing Fort Moultrie have been concentrated on the east face of this work, to bear on Cuming's Point; it is possible, however, that some of these could be brought to bear in the direction of Moultrie, if mounted on traverses. The guns are apparently crowded, and this shows that Major Anderson proposed paying his respects to a consi

hen they could not find the ark they built a place for the ark. The Baltimore Conference is small compared with the heresy and the majority, but if we maintain our integrity we will be taken care of. Judah was honored. Our religion came down through the little band which stood on Mount Moriah and said, "We will stand by the ark." Let us stand by our Constitution as a Church. Here I stand, and here my frail body shall fall. The subject was postponed till to-morrow, at 10 A. M., J. N. Davis having the floor. S. S.
