THE GARNET

With no other motive or thought than to ad vance
the public interest, would again respectfully sug
gest to the President the advantage of reconstruct
ing his Cabinet, and calling to his aid the very
ablest ntellects of the country. The burthens and
responsibilities of his post too great for any
man to bear He has use for all the assistance it is
possible to command If he could make Cabinet

The country may not contain such men, but it will
not be considered disparagement to the Cabinet as

it's departments. We have a Department of State,
that has not been able in nearly three years to estab
lish relations with any other State-a Treasury De-
partment that has tailed to keep its finances from
running to ruin--a War Department in the hands of
a chief whose whole studies and course of life have
been purely civIc-a Navy Department without a
navy-a Post Office Department with very shack
ling system of mails-a Department of Justice va
can't The business of each Department, separately,
shows the want of more mastery hand-and the
united powers of their chiefs in Cabinet cOunci-f
councils are ever held-fail to supply the quantum
of wisdom the country needs We are getting to
deep waters, and feeling of dread is shaking the
souls of the people. There is nothing the President
can do that will so reanmate their hearts and stim

calling to his side as his daily advisers, OF Cab

SToNEwALL JACKsoN's RESIGNATION was mem
toned by DR.. White, the pastor of General Jackson
at his funeral, that when the unfortunate dltncuy
occurred in the Valley which led him to send on his
resignation to Richmond all his staff and other
officers gathered around him, urged him to go to
Richmond himself and set himself right with the
government-he positively refused, saying " have
but two things to DO to serve my God and my
country. If my country has not confidence IN me
here, let them put some one IN my place in whom
they haYh confidence"

it. Let every horse or mule not indispensable to

The hazards Of a campaign where our ar
my Is obliged to operate at long distance
from its base of supplies, are painfully illus
trated in the experiences Of Rosecran's
troops. For time, Immediately subse-
quent to The battle Of Murfreesboro,' the
soldiers were actually threatened with star
vation. Their rations for three days con-
sisted only of three ears Of raw corn per man
a day. After the. intercep,ing Of their sup
plies by Wheeler's rebel cavalry, the troops
had nothing left hut horse.aesh for forty
eight hours. This was the principal reason
for their not pursuing Bragg's rcireatine
army After Grants trains bad been cut
off, his army saved themselves from the
same kind of hardship by retiring toward

The Philadelphia Press says:
.acspiain Palmer, Of The Anderson cav
airy, has effected his escape from the do
minions Of Jefferson Davis, Of which he has
been an unwilling iuhsbitant for more than
four months. He is now in Washington,
where, .wo understand, he has had an inter
view with President Lincoln, who sent for
him On being apprised of bis return. Cap
tain Palmer had some curious adventures
during his protractcd stay in tho southern
states, but is obliged 10 keep secret both
the manner Of escape and the places he Wis
ted in the South, in order that friends there,
who aided him, may not be compromise ID
by-pnblicity He SAYS the prisons of the
Confederates are filed with East Tenness-
ceans and Uuion citizens of other states,
some of whom, old gray-haircd men, have
been incarcerated for 'harboring conscripts
Tho offence being that they did not turn
frcm their doors their own sons, who had
refused to enter the rebel ranks. Captain
Palmeris as hopeful Of the good cause az
he was before he visited the South, and
thinks the evidence Of break down in
northern war sentiments, which the rebels
arc now gloatipgoyer, is the only thing that
has kept their hopes alive since their disas-
trous invasion of Maryland.
