The linking Apparatus is very complete, and diff
fers from the apparatus used in Cylinder Presses
generally, being more like that used in the Power
Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over the form
twice to each impression, taking ink for each sheet

GEN. WEBB's LETTER.-Arming of Northern

Courier and Enquirer. has appeared. There is
nothing in it rejecting on Mr.. Brooks of s. c., be-
yond calling the assault "an outrage" He says
This is city in slave District its tone is the
tone and sentiment of slavery; its visitors are
mostly from the slave States, and a large majority
of Them tnot the better portion of them carry
pistols and bowie knives: and what is more thew
have, both here and elsewhere, proved that they
will not hesitate on occasion freely to use them
They are overbearing, threatening and defiant in
their manner; and our people have been overawed
and cowed. Sumner, man of peace, ventured to
beard them, and we perceive his fate. Wilson
put them at defiance; but at the same time he put
pistols in his pocket, and publicly declared that he
held his person sacred from assault. Greeley car.
ried revolver during the latter part of his sojourn
here; and then, and then only, even he was no
longer molested; and since the brutal assault on
Mr. Sumner, two-thirds of the antNebraska mem.
bers of Congress- and all who claim and exercise
the right of free speech distinct from abusive
language or bullying, threatening manner, have
arrived at the conclusion that the time has come
when it is duty they owe alike to themselves and
to the country, TO assert, and if necessary to vim
dictate this great Constitutional privilege and to be
in situation at all times, effectualy to protect
themselves from the Bully and Assassin.

and physical courage sufficient to put this state of

Improvement of the Kanawha and Ohio
Rivers.

Rivers.
communication appears in the Richmond En-.
quirer, signed by MANY friends of the Improve
ment of the Ksnawha,' which states that the
Chief Engineer of the James River and Kanawha
Company is now engaged in making surveys Of
that river with the view of determining upon the
best plan for the improvement, and preparing the
work for conflict Two methods Of Improvement
have been proposed:
lst The plan of locks and dams.
I'd. The plan of widening deepening and other
wise improving the sluices, as proposed by Ar.
Fisk.
An able article accompanies this communication,
from the pen of the distinguished engineer Charles
Elicit, Jr., Esq, on the Improvement of the
Ohio" and which presents unanswerable objections
to the first plan The opinion is expressed by the
friends of the Kanawha Improvement, that the
navigation of the Kanawha might be rendered al
most perfect by the adoption of Mr.. Fisk's plan,
and combining with 1t the plan of Mr. Ellet for reg
ulating and sustaining the supply of water. No
river in the United States, it is believed, having
the same volume of water as the Kanawha, az
fords SO good natural navigation. For ninety
miles from its IN outh, the average fall is less than
one foot per mile, and during large portion OF
the year the supply of water is sufficient, If con
nneu In proper channei, 10 hoat tue iafees1 STEAM
boat which navigates the Ohio!
The plan proposed by Mr.. Ellet for the improve
ment of the navigation of the Ohio, is TO form
reservoirs on the tributaries of the river in which
water will be collected when the drainage of the
country ID in excess, and from which tho channel
will be supplied when the navigation fails, in time
of drought. The lock and dam project proposes
the construction of about fifty dams across the
Ohio, to increase the depth of the water, and to
place two locks in each dam, to overcome the OBJ
structions created by the dams themselves. Mr
Elets objections to the dam and lock system seem
to us unanswerable. The cost Is also great con
sideration, that of his plan not exceeding two mil
lions, whilst the other would demand an expend
ture of about twenty-five millions of dollars. II
is requested by the friends of the Kanawha I'm.
provement, that MIR. Eliet will give his views as to
the applicability of his plan to the improvement Of
the Kanawha river
