FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the New York Herald.

| WAsnIsGToN, March - NJ
The cabinet gives general satisiaction.-
There is, however, a eonsid cradle cutlery against
| jefferson Davis by the Southern Union party,
and we may expect renewal OF the war be-
| tween them and the Southern rights men,
| General Pierce has acted on the principle that
| the Baltimore Platform cancelled all the late d.
| visions in the party, and he will maiu,ain that
| idea.
| Young America claims Messrs. Guthrie, Cusll-
| ing and Davis, and expects to make faithful pro-
seyte of Governor Marcy. Including Generals
Pierce and Marcy the Mexican war has four
officers in the cabinet. Hence, perhaps the
extraordinary military pressure upon the Presi-
dent 1t is reported there are thirty officers
from one regiment applying for spois, Their
opportunities terrible. and their name is le-
gon. The increase in the civil bill of salaries in
TIE executive department, has increased the
hue and cry to furore.
1t is understood that the minor appointments
will not be made for some time. and that the
present ncunlbents will not be disturbed till the
end of the fiscal year, in June. There has been
no disposition as yet made of foreign offices.
Gov. Marcy, it is supposed will disappoint the
barnburners and soft shells. He has declared
that, so far as his influence goes. none but hun
ker will be appointed to the office of Collector
of the port OF New York; and it is believed that
he will not favor free soil appointments. The
barnburners who were seeking office here have
almost all left. The address has routed them.
In a few days ex-Secretary Clayton will open
a tremendous discussion Central American
affairs, incidentally touching also, the course
of Mr.. Tylers administration on the Cuba ques-
| ton. In this debate you may anticipate some
authentic declarations by Mr.. Mason our
foreign relations. He will have interview
with the President, learn, this day on the
subject.
1t will be the policy of Gen. Pierce to keep
both branches of Congress fully aud frankly ad-
vised of his intentions and views on all ques-
| tons.
There is some prospect now that the Garay
treaty will be enforced in the adoption Of the
warlike resolutions which have been hanging up
| for some time in the Senate. A. 3. G.

METHoDIsM IN THE UNITED STArEs.-The
Editor of the Zion's Herald takes the following
view of the progress of Methodism in this coun-
try. He says:
american Methodism is not yet century
old. In the incredibly short space of eighty
seven years, it has built four thousand two hun
dred and twenty churches, (Which is little less
than for every week of her existence,) at
cost of fourteen millions seven hundred and
thirty thousand five hundred and seventy. one
dollars. 1t has also erected, and endowed its
colleges and numerous academies with large
sums. 1t has built innumerabe parsonages, and
supplied itself with Church and Sabbath school
literature. Now. most of these churches, having
been newly erected. rebuilt, or remodelled, and
most of these vast outings having been made
within the last quarter of a century. we think i.
no exaggeration to estimate the expenditures of
Methodism 10 the United States for home pur-
poses, at an average very little short of mil.
lion of dollars per annum for the last twenty five
years; in addition to that it has paid for the sup
port of its ministry.'

THE FIRE IN New ORLEANs.-As already
announced per telegraph, the most destructive
fire that has occurred in New Orleans, broke OUT
on Wednesday afternoon 1.-THE end inst.) in the
upper part of the Alabama cotton press. The
flames spread rapidly. and gained a tremendous
Roadway before the engines arrived. 1t destroyed
nearly all the whole contents of the press. be-
sides large quantity of cotton piled in the
streets.
1t is supposed that over twenty thousand bales
of cotton were destroyed, valued at eight hum
dred to million dollars. The property was
mostly insured and the losses fall heavy the
following offices: Crescent, Home, Mutual, and
Sun Mutual.
1t is feared that several negroes have persisted
in the flames, but nothing certain isy yet known,
as the fire was still smouldering at last accounts
and no effort had been ma de to collect all the
facts.
Many other presses in the vicinity were in
great danger, but were saved.

INFRINGEMENT AND REFoRM.-The new ad-
ministration begins the work of '.Retrenchment
and Reform in the handsomest and most earn :
est manner. The salaries of the Vice Pre- sdent
and seven Members of the Cabiret have been
raised from $4,000 and $4,000 to $4,000 aud
$4,000 per annum each. while the four missions
to Great Britain, France Russia and Spain,
have been raised from $4,000 to $4,000 per au-
mum! Now, this is charming beginning! 1t
augurs we'll for "Retrenchment and Reform" 1t
does more it gives the country earnest of the
close affinity existing between Locofoco pro
fessions and Locofoco performances. But, it may
be said, it is unjust to hold Gen. Pierce's admin
istration responsible for this first act of Reform.
Let us see, then, how the case stands This
scheme was started ia the Senate of thu United
States-not by the lew Wings remaining in that
body, the reader may rest assured, but by the
friends of the President 1t passed the Senate
as matter of course. 'Going thence to the House,
(says the N. Y, Trbune) it was there promptly
aud einphaticuy put down-onIy Mirty-three
voting for it in the House, You shall submit
or we will defeat the Appropriation {Civil and
Dipiomatic) altogether, and compel and Extra
Session. The House defed this threat and
said, Let the Appropriations go, if they must'
But finally, the leading friends of the new A d.
ministration said, To begin with an Extra Session
is ruinous-that broke down Van Burens Adj
ministration-then Harrison's'-So at last the
House caved in, and the job was accomplished"
| Now it seems to that the the Administration
OF Gen. Pierce ought justly to lie held response
BILE for this supendous Reform. 1t was gotten
up by the friends OF the administration, wholly
for the benefit of its magnates was forced through
Congress by the application of the party lash
and is essentially n plan whereby the public
money is to be squandered upon party favorites.
But this is only the beginning of the end The
people OF this country will. unless we are vastly
mistaken. enjoy ample opportunities during the
the ensuing four years of contrasting Locofoco
professions with LocOfoco practices.
