Thc cold rscgioa of Kansas.

SEPT. Gov. Denver in writing to
The Secretary of the Interior, Sept.
l7th, says that the late news from
Pike's Peak leaves no room to doubt
tho correctness Of the reported dis
coycrios of gold in that vicinity. The
explorers have found gold on the Ark
ansas, on the heads Of the Kansas, and
on the south fork Of the Platte rivers,
embracing an extent of country more
than three hundred miles. The richest
mines yet found are ON Cherry creek,
n tributary Of the south Platte directly
north of Pixies Peak. a
" Gov. Denver had not yet heard ST
quartz veins, but the best information
would seem to indicate great similari-
ty between these mines and the first
discoveries in California. In view Of
The present condition Of affairs In that
region and TO prevent future difficulty,
Gov. Denver advises the lands there to
90 withdrawn from pre-. .emptioh. They
are open to settlement, leaving them
as iii the mining districts of California,
free to all who may see fit to engage
IN working the mines.

Change in the Cabinet.

The Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond South, says :-'' The indications of a
change in the Cabinet are becoming 30 very
obvious, and so much talked of, that it is use
less to regard it any longer as a tabooed sub
ject. The extent of dissatisfaction among
Democratic members of Congress would sur
prise one who has noted how much discomfort
has gone on steadily increasing since the COM
mencement of the Session until now when it
may be fairly questioned whether the Cabinet
has even a party in either branch Of the Ma
tional Legislature. They are clearly without
power to carry their measures, and there is
every reason to believe that the President,
tired of this state of things, will shortly put
an end to il by summoning new advisers to his
councils. Who they will be it is impossible
to predict. Some of the present Cabinet are
not only able, but personally and officially
popular, but as a whole il cannot be disguised
that they do not possess the confidence of the
Democratic party in Congress. That the Presi-
dent is aware of this fact. and is disposed to
net upon the advice and suggestions of those
whose aid is necessary 10 carry on the gov
eminent and for the success OF his Administrs,-
tion, is highly probable, however, much be
may regret the necessity for such a separation
at this juncture.n
