Position OF THE GERMAN PowERs.-The following
from the Paris correspondence of the London Times
will be read with interest:
"The idea that we are destined to have cam
paign this winter on the Rhine-hat u.s. against
Prussia-is becoming more general and more accredi-
ted every day in of the highest political circles
1t is considered impossible that the tergivesatons of
that power much longer be tolerated. and the
object for the establishment of the camp of the north
as indicated when II first formed, appears to be
the real one after all. What effect the fall of Sc
baslopol before the winter sets in would pro
duce the policy of tina! dishonest government it is
difficult to say 1t would, perhaps, force it to de-
clare itself frankly the side of the Allies hut it is
better be prepared for all emergencies The notes
that have recently passed between France and Prus-

ertheless, ii is believed by that the policy of
Prussia would be considerably modified in the event
of another serious check to Russia. In the mean
time reinforcements continue to be sent to the Crmea
from various places, and the camp of the south will
alone furnish over 10000 men,"
The PRESIDENCY OF THE SENATE--It is under
stool that the Hon. Senator Atchison, OF Missouri
will not be IN Washington during the coming session
Of Congress. HIS term expires on the 4th of March
next and we take ii for granted, that his determine
ton to remain in Missouri during the winter, is the
