obably have produced a revolution as fearful as the rebellion itself. It is now plainly understood that there are to be no changes whatever either in the Cabinet or the military commanders, and at least for the present affairs will be conducted pretty much as heretofore. This refusal of Mr. Lincoln to yield to the impertinent importunity of the Senatorial caucus is regarded as a manifestation on his part of more flemness and determination to act the part of the President of the United States than he has exhibited at other times when the same pressure was brought to bear upon him. The caucus meeting. The proceedings in the Republican caucus meeting are thus briefly narrated by the special of the Herald: Last Tuesday the Republican members of the Senate met in caucus, and, after a session of four hours, during which several Senators made fierce attacks upon Secretary Seward, making him responsible for our defeats and declaring that the country was tired of the pr

nt forward the rebel capital. From Petersburg, a cavalry expedition would be necessary only to proceed West to the Burkeville Junction of the Tennessee and Danville Railroads, and destroy them both. It seems to us that if Petersburg were once in our hands, it would give us virtual possession of the entire South, and force Gen. Lee to fight his army either to extermination or submission, without any chance of retreat, or means of obtaining supplies or reinforcements from the South and Southwest. Such a magnificent diversion could now be made without weakening the Army of the Potomac, the expedition of Gen. Banks, or any other independent corps, except, perhaps, that of Gen. Foster, in North and it would have the effect to give us a serious of decisive victories, which would put an end to the rebellion before the enlistment of our "nine months volunteers" is out. This, or some other similar diversion, should be made at once, to render the capture of Richmond by Burnside certain.

e that which failed on the Peninsula should once more be sent against Richmond.--The attractive baits to the rebel leaders, to be found at various points along the Southern coast are not alluring enough, and if coaxing will not bring the rebels out in their strength we must see what force will do. The question then occurs from what point should the force be applied, and who shall make the diversion? For such a demonstration we have a choice of three points eminently eligible; I.

This was passed by a vote of thirteen year to eleven days. A long discussion was entered into, Senator Sumner making a lengthy speech, at tacking the foreign diplomacy of Secretary Seward Others were made by Senators Sherman, Trumbull, Wade, &c., It was charged that Seward's policy was a Fablan one--that of delay; that he had encouraged McClellan in his delays; that his idea of surrounding the reb

Such a course of procedure as the latter was designed for the army of the Potomac last spring but was claimed to be impracticable from the fact that the Merrimac was in existence; and the James river was not in our possession. A movement of this kind now would possess all the grandeur of that mapped out for General McClellan last spring, without the great difficulties which impeded our progress, and finally rendered

the feat of thus recrossing the river in the face of the enemy I owe everything. For the failure in the attack I am responsible, as the extreme gallantry, courage, and endurance shown by them were never exceeded and would have carried the points had it been possible. To the families and friends of the dead I can only offer my heartfelt sympathies, but for the wounded I can offer my earnest prayers for their comfortable and final recovery. The fact that I decided to move from Warrenton on to this line, rather against the opinion of the President, Secretary of War, and yourself, and that you left the whole movement in my hands, without giving me orders, makes me responsible. I will visit you very soon and give you more definite information, and, finally, will send you my detailed report, in which a special acknowledgment will be made of the services of the different grand division corps and my general and staff departments of the Army of the Potomac, to whom I am so
