It is stated in our Washington dispatches
that the Cabinet meeting held on Friday was
haracterized by a good deal Of hostility on
the part of some of its members to the policy of
HE President. We have no doubt that this is
true. Mr.. Johnson is surrounded by hostile
.cabai at Washington. In the first place, he has
radicals in his Cabinet Washington is filed
with copperheads and radicals-the former few,
but mischievous, and the latter in league to
-obstruct all his measures for reconstruction.
His policy is sound, and it is heartily endorsed
by the people of all parties. It is the dema-
gogues and Jacobins only who oppose it The
.adherents Of Chase and his obstructive schemes
;Are in the custom houses and the Internal Re-
venue Department, a sworn band, thwarting the
measures which the President has so wisely de-
signed for the settlement of the country.
The South is acting we'll; its people are ex-
hibiting every desire to render due fealty to
the government Railroads are being rebuilt,
and commerce is gradually returning into its
old channels. There is nothing to prevent
complete reconstruction Of affairs except the
partisan intrigues Of the very set of men upon
whom the President ought to rely for support:
namely. his Cabinet counsellors and his office
holders. It is clearly, then, his duty to himself
and the country, under these circumstances, to
make change in his Cabinet, and to clear out
all the custom houses and Internal Revenue
Department The good disposition of the
Southern people is interfered with by military
despotism at the elections in the border States;
and this is one of the plans which the radicals
have devised to nullify the conciliatory but
firm policy of President Johnson. If the Presi
dent is not very careful now he will find an
organized opposition in the next Congress,
which will be very difficult to overcome. He
lives in an atmosphere of intrigue and treachery,
and if he is wise he will at once remodel his
Cabinet and sweep out all the traitors from the
custom houses and the Internal Revenue De-
partment These are now the only dangerous
enemies to the peace of the country. The people
are entirely satisfied with Mr.. Johnson's policy,
and they will'applaud any steps which he may
take to carry it out to a successful issue. Let
him, then, begin by wedding the radicals out OF
the Cabinet

Hon. Z. III .Stpnto,., ,Sccreta,y of Ijur:
Lieutenant Colonel Harden, commanding
the LIST Wisconsin, has just arrived from
Irwinsville. He struck Davis trail at Dub
lin, Laurens county on the evening of the
eth, and followed him closely, night and day ,
through the pine wilderness of Alligator Creek
and Green Swamp, ala Conference.-The and
Irwinsyille. At Conference.-The Colonel
Harden met Colonel Pritchard with one hun
bred and fifty picked men and horses of the
18th Michigan Harden followed the trail d.
rectly south, while Pritchard, having fresher
horses, pushed down the Ocmulgee towards
IIopewcll and thence by Horse Creek to ir-
winsville, arriving there at midnight of the
9th JEFF. Davis had not arrived.
From citizens Pritchard learned that his
party were encampcd two miles off the town.
He made his dispositions and surrounded the
camp before day. Harden had camped a:
y. NJ. within two miles Gas he afterwards
lcarned) from Davis, the trail being indis-
tinct to follow lie pushed on at 3 \. M
and had gone but little more than one mile
when his advance were fred upon by the men
of the 4th Michigan. A fight ensucd, both par
ties exhibiting the greatest determination.
Fifteen minutes elapsed before the mistake
was discovered The firing in this skirmish
was the first warning Davis received. The
captors report that he hastily put on one Of
his Iyifc's dresses and started for the hoods,
