Cabinet Changes. etc.

all sorts of rumors about Cabinet changes. and so
FORTH seem to be the food upon which the anti ad-
ministration press subsists; and all, we believe,
equally without foundation. We have no idea, for
instance that Mr. Davis is going TO resign the Sec
retaryship of War in order to go into the United
States Senate. We have no idea that he has pub

10 leave the Cabinet for seat in the United States
Senate. In fact, he has done no such thing. We
have idea that the fuses gotten up by the agents
or tools of New York COMMANDERS, such as George

While these plundererS in New York built up
by millions, we want some thousands for Wilmington;
there are other States besides New York and among
them is North Carolina.
But these viruous people talk about the President
