From Congressional indications the present ses-
sion will be long one, and one which will result
most unfaVorably to President Pierce's admins
tration Already do the notes Of war sound
througtoutthe Democratic camp, and while the at
tack does not appear TO be aimed directly at the
President yet it is perfectly apparent that he will
be reached throughIhis officials, who will be han
died without mercy. MI. Stanton, oil Tennessee,
leading Democrat from that State, opened the
ball by introducing into the Democratic caucus
resolutions directly censuring the conduct OF
''thosein high places in regard to the New York
affairs; and while it is true that they were ruled
out Of order, yet their introduction from such a
quarter is well indicative of the real appreciation
which the National Democracy of the Union enter:
tain of the Administration. ts...tt
- Tie late act of the Senate, in throwing over
board The organ and electing Beverly Tucker as
printer TO that body, is the most potent thrust at
the Administration, and is regarded by the Union
iself by the Richmond Enquirer, and by the press
generally.
We lave seldom witnessed rebuke to subser-
viency, which gave us more real pleasure than
this Stern rebuke from the highest source in the land.
Apart from the merits of Mr.. Tucker (for his indie
pendent and manly course has challenged the adj
ninistration of all parties, while it has called
down The wrath of the administration oEgans this
act of the Senate is one that will tell on the sen-
ments Of the Nation. 1t IS saying to the wor
that the American Senate is above the petty intlu-
ences, which govern tho other house, that it dares
to be free and independent in its action. and above
ALL does it say that it will not reward such trucking
and ctinging political conduct that Which las
so recently characterized the action of the Union.
The Union is sadly mortified at its Senate vote of
censure, and belabors the Senate aud the Sentinel
without mercy. The Senate will hardly feel the
"ay upon its horn,'' while the Sentinel proves
itself an over match for It's adversary, even when
backed by the Richmond Enquirer. The Sentinels
reply TO these papers is while is dignifen,

IL REcomrExDAT1oxs FROM THE WAR DEPART-
Masr.-The Secretary reports against the manu-
facture of all the arms of the United States by con
Tract because they can be made cheaper by Gov
eminent, because the national armories are neces-
sary 10 improve the models and keep up the stan
dard of materials and workmanship, and because
the Government manufacture is superior 10 that of
private contractors Buthe would not restrictthe
manufacture of all arms to the national armories,
for Tie reason that, for species of small arms
a demand may exist which could be more econom-
icalIy provided by contract than manufactured by
Government with new machinery and tools espe-
cialIy purchased for that purpose. and because an
exigency may occurunder which the Government
would require more arms than their own manufac-
tories can supply, when the Government work
shops might furnish models to private contraction.
Nothing is said OF the introduction into our SER
vice Of the Mimic rife used by the Chasseurs OF
Vincennes, whose efficiency was tested in the
HoIstejn war, and whion, in the hands of the
Turks, achieved The most essential execution in
picking of the Russian officers at the battle of o.

CRYsTAL PALACE, n. Y, 9th Dec, 1858.
Ny DEAR SIRs: Believing that you will receive
communication from me in the same spirit with
which it is intended will lay before you some
items resulting from the late test OF bridges here,
OF which. you doubtless have seen something in
your eXcha nges.
The trial came off in The rotunda on the goth
ut., in the presence of most Of the iuries of the
several departments, and large number.of Indies
aud gentlemen, under the superintendent of j.
E. Holmes, Esq, the superintendent OF machinery.
The two bridges were brought forward-the 'fArch
'rFusSH and the "Uncle Sam,n both OF the same
length, weight, md materials, the 'Arch Truss
being DC inches high whereas the other was but
Il44. The .sArch Truss broke down with
weight of 2,54l lbs, which caused great excite
ment, and naturally enough raised The character
of the one and correspondingly Depressed that of
the other. e.
Being the inventor of the s'Unce SAM was
beset by The parties interested in the other bridge,
which resulted in challenge to repeat the trial.
My object is, more especially, topresent you with
the result of that challenge, which / have accept

the superintendent,
Jos. e. Holmes, Esq, Superintendent Of the Ma
chinery, &C.. of the Crystal Palace.

GEN CAss's PosvTIoN.-There has been much
discussion between the Hards and the Softs to
the position which the distinguished Senator from
Michigan occupies or intends tooccupYin relation
10 the war Of the democratic factions. The New
York National Democrat, the leading organ of the
Old H1nkets, says: awe have the fact from gen.
tIeman Or this city, directly from Washington, TO
whom Gen. Cas- emphatically stated that "the bat
tie Of 1913 must be. fought over again." The
New York Express copies this and adds: "RumoEs
from other quarters confirm this and indicate that
Gen. Cas- will act upon the sentiment" Some
persons attach considerable Importance to the po-
sition of Gen. Cass, and no doubt it is important
to the Administration. The New York Herald
thus speaks of it: ,5
One of our special Washington correspondents
writes that all doubt relative to the position OF
Gen. Cas- has been removed by public conversa-
lions in which he distinctly asserted that his heart
was enlisted in the cause of the National Democ-
racy Of New York, that he cannot concur IN some
of the Presidents appointments, that he dlsoPrr
prnves the sentiments lately disseminated by the
Cabinet newspaper, and that he will not coalesce
with the Van Buren, FIeesoileTs. 1t is understood
that Gen. @. will take an early opportunity to
publicly LiVulge his opinions with regard to all
these matters, and that ne will be followed and
sustained by other prominent Democrats whose
vie2sare at present shrouded from the public gaze
Gen. Cass will rive the cloud now overhanging cur
national affairs and then will commence storm
such as has never been experienced among the
political elements of tltis country. sgl4

COPPER VS.. CaoIERA.-It isstated that many::ol
the citizens OF New Orleans have provided them
selves with pieces Of copper, about SIX inches long
and three vide. which they carry about them as a
sort of protection against the cholera. They have
been induced 10 this course by an alleged discov-
cry by DR.. Burg, of Paris, who states that in GER
tain streets of that capital, well as in other ci-
ties, while the cholera prevailed in almost every
other quarter every copper smith retained his usu-
al health, and not cholera case occurred among
them. The copper founderies in Paris have thou
