TIE CABINET IasRoeI1o:-Mr. James A.
Seddon, ssys tho Richmond Dispatch, has
resigned the Portfolio of War. We have not
been able to learn that his successor has been
appointed, though several prominent gentle
men are spoken Of as likely to be appointed.
Among these are General Braxton Bragg,
General Breckenridge, and Senator Hill, Of
Georgia. There is Q report that the place
had been offered TO General Breckipridge, buA
that he decided not to accept nsss :.
1t is understood that Mr.. Seldom was induc-
ed to resign by action taken by the Virginia
Congressional delegation. These gentlemen,
it appears, sent into the President an official
announcement that they had lost consdesce
in all the members of tho Cabinet except
Mr.. Trenholm, and asked for a change. Mr..
Seddon being informed ofthis sctiou,s imnc-
diately sent in his resignatioa.

Te the citizens of South Carolina.


Twill require 1900 OF 1000 horses to re-
mount mr. command. Will it be taxing the
patriotism and resources of the people ,of
South Carolina too much to ask them to'sell
their horses to my men at prices which SOL
,diers cen afford to gives Itmay be to their
interest to do 80. Our patriotic Governor
has given his earnest cooperation in this
matter.
Capt R. Watd, A.Q. NJ, will represent
the division in Columbia, S. O. acting in
concert with Col. g. f. Hampton, and viii
take charge Of all horae' Contributed, and
dispose of those offered for sale at fair prices.
Wehave considerable number Of good
hcrses at the recruiting camp at Lancaster.
They are available for farming purposes, but
have been rendered unfit for public service
by the hardships Of thepast canpaiga. These
we would be glad to exchange for seryieeab'o
cavalry horses so that tho agricultqralinter-
est Of the country will not be injured by too
grca. draft upon tho animals necessary to
carry it on.
We have requested to be transferred to
South Carolina aud Georgia TO assist in the
defence of our StatesSin this the hour Of
greatest danger. Itisindi>pensable, It III order
that ue may render good service, that We be
efficiently mounted. If this IS accomplished
promptly, We can promise at least effectually
to cripple the enerny's cavalry. Better will
it be for our people to como forward now
with part Of their horses, and thus secure
the reat from the raiding parties of the enemy.

A correspondent of, the Rebel states, on
the authority of Mr.. Trenholm, that The sg-i
gregate d-bt of the Confederate Government.
including its bonds and notes, is, in round
numbers one billion and ahalf; or ct theratio
of twenty for one, $4,000 in gold. The
bonds arc interest bearing property, and are
safe investments 50 long as the Government
can pay the7interest on. them. Seventy Eve:
millions of dollars in gofd therefore, has been
the. entire expenditure of the Government
since its inauguration. But few of theepeo-
pie are;awarc. of lie fact5thatin fur years Of.
independence andegpensiye war, the South-
=crlt States lave expended only about one
third more o1themseyes, hae they previous,
ly. annually paid into tbe Uui;e edSiates Treas
,ur5.S sSneh is the conclusion oflignres, which
nerer. deceive. .Wers it not for the price Of;
blood we have paid,it would be almost IS
cheap to fight shc Yankecs.asS to fraternizs
with them.
