Secretary of War. Hon. Leroy Pope Walker is a lawyer of Huntsville, Alabama, a native of that county, Madison, and about forty-five years of age. He is the eldest son of the late Major Walker, and one of a family distinguished for talent and influence. Two of his brothers are Hon.

Judge Lyons' Court. --In this Court. L. W. Frazier, convicted of petty larceny, has been sentenced to nine months imprisonment in the city jail. On Saturday, the jury in Mathew Eagen's case (for felonious stabbing,) failed to agree, and were discharged. The defendant was recognized in $1,000 for his appearance at the next term. Yesterday, the case of J. H. Crenshaw, for unlawful shooting, was continued until the next term. The case of Harvey Walsh, for passing and having in his possession counterfeit coin, was set for trial at half just 10 o'clock to-day. The Court was engaged yesterday mostly in disposing of civil business — motions on forthcoming bonds, &c.

ethen, Gleason and others, being anxious to have an interview with Mr. Lincoln, applied at the door of his room on Saturday morning, at Harrisburg, and it, was then announced, for the first time, that, in consequence of dispatches received from Washington, he had left in a special train; but that Mrs. Lincoln and the suite left behind would proceed towards Washington at 9 o'clock, as originally arranged. This announcement created much surprise. The Baltimore delegation were in particular ntify them in the crowded cars. The object of this hasty movement. There are various conjectures afloat as to the cause of this hasty and secret movement of Mr. Lincoln. It was rumored at Harrisburg that he had received a dispatch from Washington requiring his presence in that city before 12 o'clock on Saturday, in order to use his influence with the Peace Congress in favor of conciliation and compromise. Another rumor is that his friends, in view of an article in one of the Baltim

Weed and Greeley. These two distinguished leaders of the Black Republican cohorts show no signs of compromise. It is now believed that Weed has the inside track for the spoils, a fact which harrows the sensibilities of the patriotic Horace to the core. He professes to have no taste nor scent for the official larder, nevertWeed has the inside track for the spoils, a fact which harrows the sensibilities of the patriotic Horace to the core. He professes to have no taste nor scent for the official larder, nevertheless, because Mr. Seward, in the innocence of his unsophisticated nature, did not offer him that which he supposed he would not have, he defeated the Presidential aspirations of Seward at Chicago and secured the nomination of the "Honest Old Ape" of Illinois. Now comes Seward's revenge. He is made Premier, and his trusty Lieutenant, Thurlow Weed, outgeneraling Greeley at every move, is believed to control the dispensation of the official patronage. To a man of Horace's high sense of honor, this ingratitude of Lincoln must be as crushing as the dagger with which "the well beloved Brutus"" stabbed the Roman tyrant. We expect to hear soon that "Ingratit

The Conference is in session to-night, and strong efforts are being made to come to a conclusion on the subject before adjournment. The most reliable report as to the construction of Lincoln's Cabinet is that Mr. Seward will be Secretary of State; Mr. Bates, or Missouri, Attorney General; Mr. Gilmore, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy; C. B. Smith, of Indiana, Secretary of the Interior; Mr. Wells, Postmaster General; Gen. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Treasury. Several gentlemen are prominently mentioned for Secretary of War. The statement is thus communicated without vouching for its accuracy. Private advices received to-day from Montgomery say that very soon a Commissioner will be appointed by the Southern Confederacy, accredited to the new Administration, and that in the meantime no measure will be taken with a view to dislodge the Federal forces now in posse

Hon. J. Morton. Col. D. said he strongly sympathized with the feeling which had induced the meeting to assemble. Soon the expression of public sentiment, and the direction of public legislation, would have to be shaped by the people. He alluded to Mr. Moore's speech, and symptoms of disapprobation were given. J. T. Anderson, Esq., of Botetourt, followed in a few remarks, expressing devotion to the South, and alluding to the duty of Virginia in this crisis of public affairs.--Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, spoke for a short time in a humorous vein. He said that the editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer, a rank Abolitionist, was then present.

Daniel, and that gentleman retreated. Col. Isbell, of Jefferson county, was next called on, and made a most inspiriting Southern address, and was most loudly cheer
