that all discussions Of impending Cabinet

% the fact Of his appointment and confrma-

replied that he should make no change, and
should expect Mr. Harlan to enter upon the

Efescne Status Of the Potomac Army.
As erroneous statements have been pub
ltshed relative to changes In the command Of
the Potomac Army, It may be we'll to give
the correct status Of that army, under Its re-,
cent reorganization as furnished us by. re-
liable authority. Major Gen. Hallec!: assumes
command Of military division which en-
braces the departments Of Virginia, aud such
portions Of North Carolina Us are not included
within the actual military lines of General
Sherman's army. Major Gen. Ord commands
the Department Of Virginia Brcvet Brig.
Gen. Dent Is assigned to duty as Military
Governor Of Virginia. Brig. Gen. Patrick
continues to discharge the duties Of Provost
Marshal General. II Is believed that the
headquarters of the Army Of the Potomac
will be removed to Petersburg. Gen. Welt
zel's corps, the 25th, will be stationed on the
north side Of the James River.

Of the long known, aud very popular Conductors
on the South Carolina Railroad, are now running

the convenience Of families removing. Whatever
these gentlemen undertake, they carry thn6hgh
thoroughly, safely and satisfactorily. Engage
ments caH bo made with them on tho trains on
this end Of the South Carolina Railroad, or at the
Depot in Augusta. Several Hack lines have niso
beon put in operation between these Joints by othcr
parties, for the accommodation Of passengers. In
tie absence of Railroad Accommodations, these pri

Provisional Governor Perry's First
Proclamation,

This terse and business-like State paper, the
first and very important step taken BY our Pro-
visional Governor, to bring South Carolina iato
correct and constitutional relations with the Fed
oral Union again, appears elsewhere in our paper
Of to-day, and We commend it to the attentive
p.-usal Of our readers. The Proclamation is
issued from Headquarters at Grcenyille, s. c.; is
based on Proclamation and instructions from
His Excellency ANDREW. Johnson, President of
the United States, and is in strict conformity 10
nil pertinent existing national laws, and to the
laws OF this State prior to its secession, which do
not conflict IN any way with the provisions in this
paper now set fourth, commanded and enioincd.
It does not differ in its general features from the
Proclamations Of Provisional Governors of other
Southern States. But it does differ from them l.:
a special feature, which, to our mind, seems to
promise many very antcrial advantages His
Exce!lercv, Governor PERRY it accms, has suc
ccedcd in retaining in office all the civil officers oc
this State who were in Office on tho first Of May
last, and requires them from Judges and Chm
cellors down, to at once resume and to dischorgs
till further appointments be made, the f"A furc-
ticns of their respective offices. Our Governor
BY this step, has certainly achieved and secured
for us d great dcsidcratum in the saving Of time.
BY it tho ,clole machinery of State Government
bcgins To move at once. By it too, the wheel Of
reconstruction commences at once to reyolve, and
will be qrecHy uuickened-on to its utmost veloci-
ty and shove all, and beyond all, by it also we
hore, VIC will so much tho sooner be lifted out of
the Slough Of our present stagnant and prohtcss
condition, into one of uninterrupted prosperity
and happiness. Altogether, We think tho COM
mencement Of Governor PgRRY's rule in our
State. is naught but bright and an encouraging
augury that he will socn place the State itself
and her people OF least in condition far better
than that which the un.oeard events Of the last
four years and moro have plunged them. A
Convention 70 alter, amend and remodel the
present State Constitution, 10 :. axe new one,
is ordered by Governor PERRY 10 convene in the
city of Columbia on the 18th day of next month.
Elections for delegates to this Convention under
cd regulations are also ordered by the Governor
Oh the first Monday in next month. The qualiG-
cations Of Voters, ns will be seen by referring to
the Proclamation, are the same as heretofore, with
the exception only, Of what is now additionally
prescribed. That the people of our stsio will
unite heart and head and hand, in aiding our
energetic and able Chief Magistrate 10 properly
and rapidly carry out the duties Of his high and
responsible office, we cannot for moment doubt
