The opposition to certain features OF Gen.
Banks's bill on citizenship increases. Mr.. Sum
ner is very much opposed TO It. and it Is pretty
certain that the Senate committee on foreign
affairs would not report it, if it should succeed in
passing the House, in its present shape.
Talk about cabinet charges Is made rife in
Washington. The president. it is said, will i'm
mediately nominate a secretary of war-rumor
says Gen. Banks and the probability OF other
changes is strengthened by an INSPIRED" article
published in the lntelligencer.

INTERESTING TO PLANTERs.-At the sale OF the
goods damaged by the recent fire, Mr.. s. b.
Churchill bought large number Of tue cele.
brated Calhoun plows. These plows are, with
the exception of the stock, which was burnt, as
perfect as when they left the factory. Now each
planter has a machine TO do all the plantation
carpentering. and who can, with but little or no
expense, stock these plows, and thus make them
as good as new. Mr. Churchill is offering these
valuable plows at the low price Of 81 SO each,
which seems TO US astonishingly cheap. These
hard times it behooves every planter TO practice
the strictest economy, and this is an opportunity
TO buy ohesp that should not be lost. at No. 81
TchoGpitoulas street these plows can be seen.
