The Cincinnati Gazette of the 2Oth inst,
dcvotcs two columns to the Presidents late
speech to the soldiers and sailors who called
to pay their respects TO him. From the
opinion expressed of il in the outset Of the
article, one would suppose that the editor
hardly thought it worth SO studied and
lengthy refutation, but the pains taken to
answer and CounteraCt its effect, rs well by
the Gazette as other Radical journals, is oy-
idcnce that there were telling blows deliver
ell 10y it. There may be differences Of opin-
ion about the propriety and the policy Of
such frequent speech-making by President
Johnson, and the Radicals may speculate as
they will about his objects in 50 doing,
and prognosticate coups Fctat to any extent,
but one thing is certain, he says true, forci-
bic and statesmanlike things in a direct and
homely style, and this it Is that troubles
their souls To eyade their force his opPo-
interchangeable to invent ISLANDERS against
him and his supporters, as does the Gazette
in the following sentence:
The organs of all that party which was con
fcdcratc AGAINST the Government iu the war, are
calling upon Mr.. johnson Co disrerSc Congress
with the hayunct, and make himself dictator by
military force.
Now that journal knows that no paper in
this country, North or South, Of any hue Of
political views, has suggested any such step
10 President JOHNSON, and it knows equally
well that he never for a moment meditated
any such purpose, and that in his many free
and frank communications with all sorts of
people, distinguished and obscure, military
and civil, white and black he has never
intimated anything that can be tortured in
to such a construction.
When his enemies resort 10 charges so
palpably absurd as this, 10 destroy his in
iluence. the President may feel assured Of
his strength, and pursue the high and even
tenor Of his way, unmoved 10y the clamor Of
the party press in the interest Of Radical
ism.

GENERAL CAss.-The editor of the La
crosse wisconsin, Democrat, who is now in
Detroit, writes as follows:
"Gen. Cass is still alive, though his fam
lily have gathered here in daily expectation
of his decease. The General is now in his
eighty fourth year. He passes most of his
time in sleep, undisturbed. At rare intervals
he wakens up sufficiently to ask for some of
his old friends who are sent for, but on az
irving, even within the hour, he is generally
asleep again. His disease is softening of
the brain, from years of mental labor in the
service of his country. He has all the care,
attention and nursing it is possible to give.
His family look upon him with the greatest
reverence and affection, and pray that his
last day on earth may be far distant. At
times he is able TO converse quite freely and
nationally with his family, but this is the ex-
ception, not the rule"

JOSEPH Holt, Judge Advocate General
who was once spoken Of TO JOHN J. CRIT
TENDEN as "Joseph Holt of Kentucky"
and TO which the reply of CRITTENDEN was
that he knew no Joseph Holt "of Kentucky"
is pursuing the eminent leaders of the late
rebellion with all the terceness and venom
which renegades and apostates usually
feel. He is now engaged before the House
judiciary Committee in making a special
plea upon evidence obtained from the
pimps and hirelings ofthe war Office, to inn
plicate JEFFERSON DAVIS in the assassina-
ton of Mr.. LINCoLN-a charge which every
man of sense and fairness of every shade of
political opinion, has long since discarded
as absurd and, in endeavoring to convince
the Committee that some legislative steps
are necessary to coerce the courts to arraign
him under IN indictment for that ohense.
The past five years in this country has
afforded a diversified display of human
character, but few men who have figured
prominently have achieved the name which
history will attach to Joseph Holt-brilliant
scholarly, and plausible deceit
lul, and revengeful-a teacher of the princi-
pies which made the treason, the punish
ment of which, he makes a source of profit.

lie is Of middle height and Of distin-
ruished manners He wears long, fair

Ic,N. 60 say to these in Tennessee who are inter
ested in the man ufacturing Of cotton, that | am
able. after many highly satisfactory experiments
with rlachine which have invented, to de-
monstrate the following facts in regard 10 the pro-
cess offending;
The unginncd cotton can be applied directlyto
the cards with a saving in the stock TO an amount
of AT least ten per cent. what is usually real
lied that with two-thirds Of the operators, and
with one-third Of the cards now considered neceS-
sary in any Of our factories, the same amount Of
carding can be accomplished; and that the thread,
after it is spun, will be ten per cent superior in
quality To any now found in the market.
Upon little reflection, much Of what | have
said will become apparent; for, 70 the eNpe-
ricuccd. IL is well known that the difficulty IN
spinning u nice smooth thread, is due to the inn
pcriectlons in cardug. and this arises principally
from the tangled and broken condition in which
the process, of ginning, bslinE. and use Of the
"lap-wiuders leaves the fibre Of the cotton.
whilst. hy the plan l propose, the cards receive
the fibre from the seed in its natural condition.

We are inclined to think that it is not yet

result if it be made to a point which will
pass the Southern trade by our doors, with
