AUDITOR OF STATE.

Il the time approaches when candi
date for this most important State Office
l. y be selected it is essential that great
psi6s should be taken to secure the uom-
ination Of the very best man in the
State. II there is any one man who is
pre-sminently qualified for that Office,
and we believe there is, that man i. none
other than Hon. j. W. Cattell, the pres
ent incumbent. We referred to this
subject last month but we thiak that
more should be said now Mr.. Cattell
has already held the Office two terms and
his, third term will expire on the FIRST Of
January next, but We conceive that, IN.

We are in favor of srotation in office"
in al those cases where no special quail
6cation is needed to Gil the Office in the
best manner, but We consider that the
Office Of Auditor of State is not, at this
tine, one of those Offices 1t might be
20 10 ordinary times when but few mat
tiers are left to the discretion of the Au.
ditor, but now when such cases arise
daily it is all important to have a man
Who is thoroughly posted in the laws and
who is unquestiouably honest and up.
right one who will do his duty whetho,
Il accords with the wishes of politica
friends or not. Such man We know
Mr.. Cattell to be, and such every mar
IN tho State knows and admits him t,
DO. He has, since the commencement
Of the war, saved to the State many time
the amount of his salary. At time lik
this, oil kinds Of demands are mad
against the State by every one who con
cesves that he has the shadow of chanc
to get it allowed whether just or not, ian
Mr.. Cattell has proved to be just tn
man to head off such fraudulent claims.
We have nothing to say against an
man who may desire the Office. He ms

therefore that Mr.. Cattell will recei'

The War In virginia-A Rebel Defeat
or Retreat-The Prospects OF Speedy Re-
lief TO the Trsasury and the country.

Among our latest advices from "the 'front.'
in Virginia Is the report that division OF
Longstreets column had been detached from
the left of Lees army along the Rapidan to as
sist in the defence Of Richmond against an ap-
pretended advance Of "the Yankees" up the
Peninsula We have every reason to believe
not only that this report Is true, but that 1t
foresbadows the stealing away, If possible, Of
the whole army Of Lee from the envsloping
columns Of General Grant, first to Richmond,
and next into the heart Of North Carolina.
In support Of this opinion we have the infor-
nation, in Richmond despatch to the Peters
burg Express, that instructions have been given
the First Auditor Of the rebel Treasury "to re-
move his bureau TO Montgomery. Alabama"
and that "all the clerks, except four, have sig
niled their willingness to CO." This First Au-
ditor, We presume. has charge Of the books,
papers, presses, DC, connected with Msmmin-
gers paper money system, and he Is taking time
By the forclock in getting them of to place
OF comparative safety. Thus the rebel
government is preparing to fall back TO
the point from which IL started, and there, we
predict, II win be dissolved. On the other
hand, we learn from one OF our own cor.
respondents that Gen. Beauregard was push.
ing forward through North Carolina 10 the res.
cue Of Richmond with bis Charleston reserves,
and that the rebels were resolved upon the ex
pulsion OF the Yankees from both North Caro-
lima and Virginia. Besuregards reinforce
ments, however, cannot amount TO much, unless
he has concluded to turn over Charleston "a
"the Yankees" We dare say that he comes
with q small fsroe, to assist with his engi
nsering capacities, IN Strengthening the de-
fences Of Richmond against the dangers Of q
side attack, before Lee can get away from the
Repidaa.
It's apparent that General Lee has made The
discovery that the business Of this campaign will
require him 10 provide . heavy force for the
defence of Richmond. asd u oreRAre d 10
