have yet written occasional verses Where the poet
has published an edition of his works. the selec.
tons comparatively few; but where the author
has left his works to take of themselves, the
tracts have been more youminous. This is praise
worthy feature since it preserves for in collected

IN which he has decided that sending news
papers 10 another with name written L.
pom it, even though the sender did no,
write il, subjects the paper to letter pos
tage. This decision is in a case where
an individual received paper directed to
himself on the margin, the same paper

assigned for it, are that The name on the

The Cabinet.

Many rumors being abroad OF expected
changes in the Presidents Cabinet, we
feel it to be our duty to state, as we are
able to do, that no changes in the offices
OF Heads Of departments are likely to take
place before or during the approaching
session of Congress; and that whatever
changes may after that time occur, Ct
any will be in the spirit of most friendly
relation between the President and all the
present Heads Of Departments.
The above is from the Official" and
is of course, intended TO declare only that
arrangements have been made for the
Cabinet TO hold together until after the 4lh
Of March. The reference in the COM
memo ement of the article TO rumors, was
intended, Of course, to make the impress
sion That there had been no grounds for
such rumors, (,hough that is no, said;)
but he intention has been to remodel the
Cabinet, and TO bring Mr.. Gushing into it
at once. But circumstances have trans
pred, which render it convenient 10 de-
lay action of this kind.
Rumors like those referred to by the
Madisonian, never obtain circulation with
