CABINET OF THE NEW CoNFEDERACY.
We understand that the Cabinet of the

We understand that the Cabinet of the
Southern Confederacy is arranged as follows
Secretary of State, Herschell V johnson, "a
Secretary Of War, T. o. Hlder, La:
Secretary of the Navy, S. r. Mallory, Florida:
Secretary Of the Interior, w. Porcher Miles. s. Z.
Post Office Dedartment, j. Ii. Homphlll, Texas
Attorney General, Jonn a. finoFe, Ala
The premier Of this Cabinet, Mr.. johnson,
was lately the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency on the Douglas ticket. He has always
been, says the u s. Gazette, a rank partisan
of the extreme southern school Of political
doctrines, and how he ever got into the COM
pany of Douglas in the late canvass remains 3
mystery. When he was Governor of Georgia
he was fre-eater in opposition to the Union
men, then victorious. Daring, the. Presden-
tial canvass his sentiments were quoted far
and wide in direct opposition to the tenets OF
the Northern DougIasites He is a proper
companion of Cobb, Toombs, and the rest of
the school of troublesome men. This same
State of Georgia seems to cut an extensive
figure among the eottonOcracy. She has the
President of their Congress, Mr.. Cobb, the
Vice President of the Republic, Mr. Stephens,
and the premier of the Cabinet, Mr.. johnson.
South Carolina, the head aud front Of Seces-
sionism, gets the small Sopof Secretary Of tie
Interior.
Under the great Union this Department
had province of vast Importance. 1t dealt
with the patent Office, Indian, pension, land
and census bureaus, and the government Of
the territories and public buildings. The new
republic has no territories to govern, no In
dians to control, no pension list to pay, no
patent Office to manage ; the census has just
been finished at Washington, and the public
lands are seized by the States. What then
will the Interior Department do When it
gets any money it may engage in spending it
to erect public buildings, but that and all the
rest of its business is yet to be created 1t is
Department without function. And this
is the equality, and this the honor, for which
South Carolina seeded How are the great
men of the Palmetto State rewarded? Their
crop of laurels is absolutely prodigious.

Delegate 10 Congress.

A. the election for members of the PrOvi-
sional Congress is rapidly approaching, L
propose that the people of Davidson county
and of this Congressional District show their
appreciation of his worth by nominating for
that position, Hon. Washington Barrow He
has been as true to the Southern cause as
steel. His manly and convincing speeches,
taking grounds for fhe Southern COntedera-
CIV, have been the most unanswerable argu-
ment in its favor advanced by any one.
have always, heretofore, differed with General
Barrow on political questions, but as all po-
IiticaI differences have been buried, and we
can now do justice to merritOrious indlvid-
uaIs. without regard to former political al
finities or differences, beg leave to suggest
his name as the most worthy person to re-
ceiye the nomination for the Provisional
Congress. His urbanity, his nerve, his per-
sisteat efforts in establishing the good cause
in the State should never be forgotten by
the people. | therefore suggest him as a
candidate for the Provisional Congress, sat
is6ed that the voice of the people will over
whelmingiy sustain him in his patriotic
course. This is from

The Cash system.

After mature deliberation the Publishers of
this paper have determined to adopt the
CASH SYSTEM. They have been led to this
step by the heavy losses experienced from
debts scattered throughout the State, which
they have been unable to collect, the neces-
sity which compels them to pay cash for la
Dor in the printing Office, for paper and other
supplies, and the general adoption of the sys-
TEN on the part of leading houses in all
branches of trade and industry. The cash
system, necessary to protect US, will also be
beneficial to punctual subscribers, inasmuch
as it will rid us of the expense entailed by
non-paying subscribers, and enable US to re-
duce the price of our weekly paper. From
this date, therefore, we shall enter the name
of no person on our books as a subscriber,
unless he pays for his paper in advance. And
on the LIST day of July next, we shall erase
from our subscription lists every name not
paid in advance. Our weekly paper will be
t,co dollars per anuum. Those who have al
ready paid in advance beyond the 1st day OF
July, 1861, will be allowed the benefit OF this
reduction from that date.
Parties remitting money to US on account
of subscriptions, if they desire it, can deduct
the amount paid for postage.
~ We shall keep this notice standing IN our
columns until the 1a of July, and, on that day,
erase evzy delinquent from our last.
