1t is confdentiaIy rumored, in certain circles,
that on the fourth day of March. the time for the
MEETING of the Council of State, and the dav on
which Senators aud other great men take Office
and go out of Office, the Editor of the Register,
known as the Nv. r. G." Washington Cores
pond"n of that paper, will resign his place on the
Literary Board. preparatory TO his receiving, at
The hands of the Captain-General, the honors of
another Office, to be expressly created for the
man and the OCCASION The office proposed to be
created is that of P4f:IMaster General to the
Whig forces in this State, with a place in the
Capt1in- Generals Staff; and the gentleman look
cd to by all best fitted for the post, is the Edi-
Tor Of the Register.


We learn however, that certain strict consruc-
tiOnists, well as all evil disposed persons gen
orally, have vcnturcd to express doubts as TO the
Captain Generals power to create such an Office
but such doubts, we feel confident, will be remov-
cd from all honest minds, when it is remembered
that during the last summer that dignitary as
snmed the power to appoint Field Officers to the
N. Carolina Regiment 1oitAout authority of LG,0.
And surely, if the Captain-General can in one
case disregard the law and appoint an Officer,
in another case, where the law is entirely silent,
he create an office and bestow it his friend.
