CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, number of petit
tons were presented; amongst them one signed
by thirteen thousand believers in spiritual man
iestations, asking that these mysterious occur
rences be inquired into by some scientific COM
mission. 1t was laid on the table.
Mr., Butler, from the Judiciary COMMITTEES, to
which was referred SO much of the Presidents
message relating to modification of the judi
cial system of the United States, and the re-
port of the Attorney General thereon, reported
o bill to modify and amend the judicial system
Of the United States. An abstract of the pro-
visions Of the bill will be found in our congress
sional report. The bill was made the special
order for the first Monday in May The rest
of the day was occupied in executive session.
In the Hoase of Representatives, Mr.. Wal;
bridge asked leave to introduce a joint resou-
ton "declaratory of our maritime rights and
of our policy, interdictins the extension Of the
European system Of government on any portion
of this hemisphere" but the House refused to
suspend the rules for that purpose.
The Senate bill Increasing the salaries OF
clerks, messengers, and others in the executive
departments, was taken up, and several hours
devoted to its consideration. The House ad.
journed without definite action upon the
subject

This influential body met, agreeably to adj
journment, in the I'd Presbyterian church in
this city on Tuesday evening last the 18th inst,
and was opened with sermon by the Rev.
Stuart Robinson, the last moderator About
thirty-six members were in attendance. The
Rev. Mr.. Eckard, of this city, was chosen
moderator.
Among other items Of business, the matter
Of church extension engaged the serious and
earnest attention Of the presbytery.
The Rev. DR.. Musgrave, and the Rev. Stuart
Robinson, ministers, and Messrs. Cissil and
Morrison, elders, we're chosen commissioners
to the next general assembly.
The Rev. DR.. Tustin, of the I'd preshytery
Of Philadelphia, being present, was invited to
sit as a. corresponding member; and upon
making q brief statement Of his position, it was,
Oh motion of the Rev. Dr. Plumer, unanimously
resolved: "That this presbytery sympathize
with Dr. Tustin in his affection, and earnestly
hope that he may soon be restored to his
wonted health and vigor."

which might not have been erected as well by
civilians, but in the fact that the Emperor Of
Russia called one of them into his service to
survey railroad, and in the further fact that
many of the cadets from West Point have made
rood lawyers aud passable civil engineers
This is the substance Of the Unions argument
On this point.
It's offensive to hear repeated so often, and
in such various shapes, the oit.refuted asser
ton ofsuch pre-eminent superiority OF military
engineers, in point of practical skill and abili
ty, over all others. 1t is offensive because not
true, and because it does injustice to many
architects and civil engineers who are an honor
TO our country, and Of whom any country might
we'll be proud.
We do not mean to detract one iota from the
real merit of the military corps, for in the line
of their profession they are no doubt equal to
any similar corps in the world; but it is de-
handing for them too much when it is asserted
hey have n universally of genius and pacti
cal experience which make them superior III
all pursuits to everybody else. A man may be
good engineer, and yet not an architect; for
although an architect must be an engineer, an
engineer is not necessarily an architect En-
cheering is only one branch Of architecture
An ordnance officer may understand the nse Of
firearms, but he cannot manufacture them;
nor is it any part of his education at West
Point to qualify him to do so, any more than it
is to manufacture saddles and harness, or make
swords and cutlasses. West Point was not es-
tablished to educate men in civil architecture,
nor to teach them the practical operations Of
the mechanic arts. It was not instituted to
educate men for employment in civil pursuits.
It is branch Of our military system, where
men are educated to construct our military de-
fences and command our military forces. The
popular sentiment demands that to these duties
they should be confined. Who has the right
to complain if they are so restricted7
We are not to be understood by the Union
as making war upon any department of the
government, or as seeking individual contro-
versy, because we oppose the system of en-
ploying military men in the service Of the gov
eminent outside of their professional line. 1t
is no purpose Of ours to do SO. The only war
we shall make will be against the system, and
we trust the administration is not to be con-
sidered, from the course of the Ulaion, as justi-
flying and upholding it.
