-Rumors of chances in the Cabin

-Rumors of changes in the Cabinet
are again rife, but as yet have not been
confirmed. 1t is said that Stanton is
to retire from the War Department, to
be made Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, and that he is
to be succeeded by Gen. Butler. 1t is
also asserted that Fessenden will soon
resign the Treasury portfolio, and that
Robt. J. Walker, who is now in Wash
ington, is to be his successor.
The copperhead Prothonotaries of
several counties have, in clear violation
of law, thrown out soldiers votes, and
in other cases return judges have un-
dertaken the same dirty game, thus
an ong others attempting to defeat
Judge King of Bedford out of his cleo
ton. A dose Of law administered to
such skunks would be of some service.
In Chester county, not less than
thirty mills are at manufacturing sor-
ghum sirup. The price charged is 25

THE DESTINATION.

THE DESTINATION.
A portion Of the army left Atlanta
on the morning of the 9Th, and fol-
lowed the railroad to Macon, DESTROY
ing it as it proceeds; the column will
take Milledgeville in its way, and it is
probable that the cavalry will attempt
to release the Union prisoners.
The second column started on Satur-
day morning last. and goes direct to
Augusta, the chief manufacturing
point Of the Confederacy, and one in
which nearly all the powder used by
the Southern army is made. This will
be reached in about twelve or fourteen
days .a -r~ ..
At this point the whole army will
concentrate, and then move en- one of
three points, as Sherman shall deem
most proper. These are: Savannah,
Charleston or Beaufort; but | know
that if nothing occurs to change his
present plans, he will go to Beaufort.
He believes that Savannah, with the
railroads through Georgia cut will be
perfectly harmless, and there will be
no advantage in holding it. The same
may be said of Charleston. Let Sher-
man advance to BranchviIle, twenty
or thirty miles out, and that place is
cut off effectually. .. ....
To capture either Savannah or Char
lesion, fortified as they are, would take
time, oven though not strongly garri-
sOned, while the moment the army
reaches Beaufort, it meets supplies in
abundance, and ships to transfer it to
any point it may be made useful.
This knOW to be his plan at present.
However, it may become necessary to
make Augusta a new base, and in that
case Savannah must be captured; but
Sherman now believes that he can as
easily make one on the sea coast, and
in the meantime destroy all the rail
roads in Georgia and South Carolina
so effectually as to render them worth
less during the war Unless, there
fore, unexpected obstacles are met, he
will reach the ocean at Beaufort, in
about 35 or 40 days.
Official Dispatch from Gen. Curtis.
The following dispatch, dated Camp
Arkansas, Nov. 8, via Fort Scott,
Nov. Is, has been received:
We have just concluded the pursuit
Of Price, whose rearguard crossed the
Arkansas river, under fire of our guns.
He left another of his guns and his
own carriage, which, with other arms
and equipments, have fallen into our
hands.
We are now rid of 10000 or 10000
half-starved bushwhackers and half
starved vagabonds, who | hope may
never return to disturb tie peaceful
inhabitants north of the Arkansas
river. He is also beyond our posts of
Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and Fort
Gibson, which are now safe.

vcrtiser, az word to tic Sober Senses Of the
People" We would gladly publish it in full if
space permitted, but we shall take this op,or-
tunity of asking a:tcutlon to portion of it as
follows:
A man was never known to grow rich bv
trading with himself. This is just the condi-
ton OF tho people of this Confcdcracy To
whom is the planter and the manufacturer sell
ing his grain and his cloth2 lie sells for "Con-
fcdcrate Notes." and consequently to the ma
kers of these notes. but who is the drawer of
these Treasury notes? The common answer
would be: the government. Now we know
that the drawer Of il note is responsible for its
payment, that he can be sued at law, aud his
goods sold to satisfy the note. But we opine
thati, would prove rather an Improbable bus
mess to sue the Confederate Government for
one thousand million dollars. It might tur.
out a nulln bona case. While, then, the Srcrc-
tary of the Treasury is the ostcnsible drawer Of
these notes, he is in fact bnt the agent of a
Company: The principal, tho responsible party
tor these notes Is the people Of tile Confederate
States. 1t these notes arc ever paid they must
be paid by the people Of the Contrdcracv.
1t would he well then for the planter and
manufacturer to understand now tina, lie is
selling his goods for treasury notes. hc IL selling
tor his own paper. Hc promises to pay the
holder of tho said notes so many dollars in gold
or silver coin six months after n treaty of pcacc
with the United States Hence the exact
amount Of promisory notes issued by the Treas
nrer, will be the amount of the dvLt which the
people will have to pay at the chJ of this war
Now the amount "fthat debt will depend upon
the cost Of tho war; and this cost will depend
upon the price the Government has TO paw
Tor provisions and clothes 10 supply the ar
my.
Hence it is sclfcvident, that if the planter
and ma"attcturer require the Government to
pay SIS instead Of 81 for food and clothing to
supply the army, they will have Il debt of IS
instead of 81 to pay at the end Of the war. In
stead OF accommodating a NATIONAL debt annually
OF one million, they are in fact making debt
of five millions. The question occurs !: who IS
to be Ee"efFed ty the operations? The answer
