Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Washington, March 5.
--The Senate, during a secret session of an hour and a half to-day, confirmed the following Cabinet appointments, submitted by Mr. Lincoln:
Secretary of State--Wm. H. Seward, of New York.
Secret'y of the Treasury — Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio.
Secretary of War--Simon Cameron, of Pa.
Secretary of the Navy--Gideon Wells, of Ct.
Postmaster General--Montgomery Blair, of Maryland.
Secretary of the Interior--C. B. Smith, of Indiana.
Attorney General--Edward Bates, of Mo.
The vote was unanimous for all the appointments except Bates and Blair.
In their cases four or five votes were cast against each, because the Republicans were unwilling that any representatives from slave States should get into the Cabinet.
A large crowd assembled around the doors, anxious to hear the result of the Executive session.
