THE RUMoRED CABINET CHANGEs.-The
Washington agent for the Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-After careful in.
curry 1t was ascertained from several geatle-
men Immediately interes ted tba there has been
no written or formal tender of the resi- znation
OF any OF the Cabinet members made to the
President. The statement Of the National In.
tethgencer to-day is, therefore, evidently
founded on the fact, which has heretofore been
repeatedly stated, that the present mem bsrs OF
the Cabinet have more than once in,im lted to
the President that they are ready to retire at
any time the PRESIDENT may desire them TO do
so: In ether words, that they will not embar.
rass him in any changes which. in his opIn.

Cordell. died at their residence, six miles south of this city, on the 30th ult:, after protracted and painful illness. She was a member of the Des Arc Baptist Church, which, in her death, has lost one of it's best members, the community most useful lady and her husband and children their earthly star. SLe bore her atiiction with resigna- ton and fortitudc, seldom complaining, and never murmuring; but frequently spoke of her approaching dissolution with as much calmness as of a visit to see friend. The bright evidence of the genuineness of the re- ligiou she professed, cannot fail to tell for good on all who saw her. While her body rests beneath the sod of the valley, her unfet- tered spirit will mingle with the spirits of the just made perfect" around the eternal throne A MEMBER.

LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, Noy 3-About s o'clock last night, ire was discovered'in the low CT part of the tin and stove establishment of Fones X Bro, on Main Street. The fremen were on the ground promptly, and the engine at work, before the fire had made much headway. From all the cir cumstances connected with the origin of the fire, there is hardly room to doubt that it was not the work of an incendiary. At the late hour of going to press last night, there was but little chance to ascertain the amount of damages. The principle dam age. however, resulted from the nasty re- moval of goods and wares from the build ings in close proximity to where the fire originated.

Esy- The Little Rock Gazette says: "The order below was issued yester- terday. Its announcement, as may be supposed, occasioned surprise. Of course we do not know the causes for the removal of Mir. Cunningham, as 1t is not customary for military officers to make known the reasons which infiu- ence their actions; but we would sup pose, from the fact that he alone has been relieved, that there are particular circumstances in his case which do not exist in others.
 This is merely one offhe incidents of military rule, and mainly causes sur prise because it has been so long de- layed and is the first that has occurred in the State.

ARKANSAS.

In point ofgresperity and freedom from political excitement, our State is equal to any ef her sisters of the pro- scribed Confederation. While North, South, East and West, the waves of po- litical contest lash and foam, and spend tlscir fury upon party and principle, here all is quiet, When we deemed it duty, we were as prompt as any to act for right, snd upon cur Southern alters willingly offered our sacrifices. But when this time passed, we were equal ly in earnest in our desire 10 establish peace in a permanent form and upon a guaranteed basis. While we know the national faith has been broken, and many things hays been, and are being done, not in harmony with our feelings, we have submitted. and will submit, believing it our only course. Our pee pie have determined that their interest as not in politics, but in labor; not in repining and grief over lost principles, bat in earnest endeavor to retrieve in- 'diyidual prosperity. Arkansas is, to- day, as aw-abiding, as willing to be governed by tsre powers that be, as any of the States whose noisy representa- lives heap unjust oppression upon us.
 One of thebest indications that the people of Arkansas are alive to their own interests, is their disposition to give up cotton and plant corn. From every part of the State we are informed that great majority of the farmers are planting much corn, and little cotton. This argues well for our rapidly grow ing State. Let her people once begin to make bread and meat at home, and political storms will effect them but lit

WORTHY OF NoTE.-A Washington letter says the subject has been formal ly discussed in the cabinet, and it was understood to be the sense of the ad- ministration that the military comman- ders are not warranted, under the re- construction act in removing civil off cers, unless they are in some way ob- structing the execution of the law and that when such removals have been made, even upon sufficient grounds, the law does not authorize military commander to.appoint their successors. He can assign military officers to per form official duties which civil officers fail to execute but he cannot appoint attorney generals and other state off eers. This is merely the informal con- clusion eff the administration, but tho subject has not been regularly before the cabinet, nor referred to the attor- ney general.
