It waa announced that Earl Hassell has undertaken the duty of reforming the Cabinet. It is stated that the Administra? tion will only be reconstructed to the ex? tent necessitated by the appointment of a Premier. The London 2v~etc* says it is reported that the ultimatum of Secretary Seward has dwindled to the statement that he had written to Ministor Bigelow, expressing the desire of the American Government to re? main at peace with tho world, but intimat? ing fears that Congress wonld demand ex? treme measures.

WASHINGTON. November 2.-The cabinet is getting close upon a unit in support of the President's policy of reconstruction. Those who have superior means of know? ing at the war office state that Mr. Stanton may leave tho cabinet very soon. Sharp differences between himself "and the Presi? dent are not favorable to his remaining with honor. Sundry Northern representa? tives who havo come here to browbeat the President have returned in a great rage. It is now stated that Caleb Cushing's part in London, upon the point of claims of our Government for the depredations of the rebel cruisers, will bo to make the legai argument. Our board of police commissioners pass? ed a resolution this evening recommending the doubling of patrols in the several wards, with a view to a rigid search for nuisances of every description in alloy?, streets and houses, as a preventative against cholera inroad. The police aro in? structed by resolution to report upon the r matter. It is currently reported that General Longstreet has been handsomely received in military circles here.

Gantt, Esq., and other sources, that all is working well, and you will proceed and resume tiie former relations with the Federal Government, and all thc aid in the power of the Govern? ment will be given in restoring the State to its former relations. ANDREW J<>HNS<)N, President of tho United States. Importunt from Canada. THE FENIAN EXCITEMENT -WAHI.IKE RU? MORS.- TJUnion National:-', which recently pretended to have some special information about the intention of the Fenians to invade Canada, now professes to tell us the pre? parations which "aro being made to meet them. The chiefs of our militia organi? zations/- it says, '-are at work combining ?dans for the organization of an army of .in,(iso mon. Troop H will probably be sta? tioned along the entire frontier; a garrison will lu> stationed at Laprairie: finally, they are preparing to give ns a line of troops from Quebec to Toronto, a guard stronger and more numerous than that which re? turned this spring accustomed to the lifo of a soldier." />' Union Nationale professes to have this information from an authentic source. Wc know not how much truth there may be in the statement, but the subject is'said to have caused the Govern? ment some inquietude. At the same time we have reason to be? lieve that no such steps as those alleged by tho Montreal journal had been taken, and a-< there cannot have been any cabinet council since, it is difficult to understand bow any such conclusion as that alleged could h?ve been arrived at. It is proper to state, however, that before the arrival of this statement in L'Union Nationale,there was a rumor in tho city that the Govern? ment had resolved to place a guard of militiamen on the frontier. We cannot have long to wait to ascertain what truth there is in tho statement. - Toronto leader. Swutfe Cm roi Vu*. CmUfcroxveo. FOCSTH DAT-SATTJEDAT, NOVHMBBB 4., CHAJCJOTTJE, N.

Hie question of the ways aud means to meet the requisitions of the State Government, in the present impoverished condition of our people, is of serious consideration, and will task the wisdom of the Legislature. One plan proposed must meet with favor. Whether it be possible, in the present state of capital or credit, to raise the necessary fund in bonds to be issued by the State, as sug? gested by the Governor, is not alto? gether certain. We have little capital at home to invest in such securities, and it is questionable whether, undcr present circumstances, they will at? tract any from abroad; but, if it be possible, there is every reason to commend it. The policy of using the capital pr credit of thc State for private objects is vicious and objectionable, and the idleness and vice encouraged and en? gendered in Rome and Athens by this policy, wen: scarcely compensat? ed by the adyaantages to citizens for such expenditure, but between the use of such an agency to thc dissipa? tion of a people, and their relief from the pressure of immediate and tem? porary distress, there is a wide dis? tinction, and the act, scarcely too much to be reprehended in thc one case, may bc meritorious in the other. Nor do we assent to the proposition that thc burden of debt is, necessarily, an evil to the State. If there be States in competition, the one the most heavily taxed is, necessarily, at a disadvantage. All else being equal, there will ?>e the tendency in men and business to sock the one in which there is the slightest pressure in the way of charges. But without this-and there arc few States in such equal and comp?titive condi? tions--the public debt is nor necessa ! rily of disadvantage. It expands tiie capital of a country. Of Eng? land, much of the capital is in go? vernment securities, lt widens the basis of support for population; thou? sands there living on the interest of the public debt, who might not find the room to live in any department of pursuit. It furnishes capital most necessary to the development of en? terprise/and a form of capital most suited in its charcter of investment, and to the wants of a oianufaeturiiig and commercial community. It is c msoi vutive of the organization nltd existence of the State, for it charges men with a direct and positive inte? rest in their preservation. It is not inconsistent with ?thc attainment of individual wealth, for notwithstand? ing their extraordinary taxation, larger fortunes are made in England than in any other country. It Ls not inconsistent with a high average of individual well-being, for, in no coun? try in the world, have the same rela ti ve nu raber of people the same secu? rities {qr subsistence and ? comfort ; and hence, therefore, while we wouH not encourage the contraction of a ptlbKc debt for tL%? ?J*au.Inges simply to result from it, we would not hesi? tate to accept it as the condition to attainment of .any other meritorious object And if, in this way, the State can realize the fund to meet its-wants, and spare the people the grievous pressure of taxation m the present ex? hausted state of their resources, and in doing so shall throw into business the additional capital to result from such an operation, we think the re? sult must be salutary, and that this is, as we have said, a consideration to commend it.-Charleston Netes. MrrcHEXJo's PABTD?G INTERVIEW WITH JEFF. DAVIS.-Before wholly dismissing Mitchell, I will briefly mention his parting interview, yester? day, with JefE. Davis, and in fact the story is only a brief one. I only learned of the interview to-day, from a gentleman who received the facts from Mr. Mitchell himself. On the contrary, when I wrote my letter of yesterday, I was given to understand most positively that he was not allow? ed, before leaving the fort, to see either Jeff. Davis or Mr. Clay. ' 'I have come to bid you good-bye," said Mr. Mitchell to Jeff. Davis, ex? tending his hand to the latter, who grasped it warmly, and firmly held it in his during the brief interview be? tween them. "The pleasing news of your resto? ration to liberty has already been told me," replica Mr. Davis, "and I con? gratulate you, now that you are a free citizen of the world again." "I hope I shall soon have tho plea? sure of similarly congratulating you," responded Mr. Mitchell. "I bide my time cheerfully and hopefully," spoke up Mr. Davis. "Have you any commands forme?" asked Mr. Mitchell; "any service that I can do for you?" "I only ask to continue you ou my list of friends who are doing all they can for me." "Be assured of my unfailing co? operation in your behalf." "I ask nothing more." 1 ' Shall I write your wife anything?" Mr. Mitchell further asked. ' ' It might be a pleasu re to her, al? though you know I am allowed pretty extended freedom now in writing her. Yes, yes, write her." " Good-by." ' ' Good-by. " The two unclasped hands and part? ed. Mr. Mitchell was minute to my in? formant, undertaking to give the exact conversation, which in turn I have given as minutely as received from the lips of the latter.
