The radicals, not satisfied with that method of restoring the Union, seek to cut that bridge down, and have, we must confess, so far badly damaged it, without domg anght whatever towards con- structing another feasible one in its stead. If they succeed in completely demolishing the President's bridge. (which we do not believe possible.) they will simply leaye it for the Copperheads to lead the late rebel States back into the Union with their people confirmed in the secession and other rebel sentiments tor which they fought so long and gallantly; leay- ing the Union party of the country to grieve over the folly of its Congressional leaders, who, rejecting the sound bridge (or policy) of the President, labor to put off the work of con- structing a practicable one until after the next Presidential election, when the people, tired of waiting, will be apt to trust the work to Copperbead hands, sconer than have its ex- ecution longer postponed. THE DISTRICTIN CONGRESS, Mr. Morrill to-day introduced in the Senate a billgranting consent to the Alexandria and Washington Railroad Company to use steam power in drawing their cars on the structure across the Potomac river, erected by said com- pany, under the provisions of the act entitled “An act to extend the charter of the Alexan- dria and Washington Railroad Company, and tor other purposes,” approved March 3, 1563, and along the railway now laid by said com- pany, or which may be hereafter laid under the provisions of said act, along Maryland avenue and ist street west, to the present depot of the Washington branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, subject always and in all par- Uculars to such restrictions, observations, und regulations concerning the use of said steam power as the Corporation of Washington may by its ordinances at any time impose upon or at any time require of the said rail- road company. Referred to District Commit- tee. [The privileges recited in the above bill were evidently intended to be conferred upon the Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown company, though the Alexandria and Wash- ington company is named in the bill.—Rep.) Mr. Morrill also introduced a bill, which was reterred to the District Committee, to protect the manufacturers of mineral waters in the District. The bill affords protection to the qmanutacturers against the use of their bottles by unauthorized parties. THE PRINCE OF SMUGGLERS ARRESTED. Information has reached Hon. Nathan Sar- gent, Commissioner of Customs, of the arrest a jew days ago at Rouse’s Point, N. Y., of a per- son who is known in the emugzling fraternity as the “Prince of Smugglers.” The person al- luded to is a Mr. B. G. Mooney, a man of con- siderable intelligence and a lawyer of some note, who practiced law in Shutiagee, N.Y. Mooney has, with the assistance of an able corps of confederates, been enabled to carry on the smuggling trade to a very profitable extent. He was outwitted, hewever, and arrested by a Mr. N. Beaman, Deputy Collector of the Champlain district. Thus within a short time two notoriously successful smugglers have been arrested in their lawless career, and an eifectual blow bas been struck at smuggling in this vicinity. Mooney has frequently been the instigator of indignation meetings against Cus- tom officers, charging them with fraudulent and unjust transactions, with a view to having the officers driven from the neighborhood by the people. open A FARM SCHOOL FOR COLORED OBPHANS, Mr. H. De Mareil, editor of the Messager Franco-Americaine, has established with some assistance from the Government, upon a site of land comprising one hundred acres, situated near Camp Barry, two-and-a-half miles from Washington. which was purchased by himself, “Farm School’ upon the model of similar institutions existing in France and Algeria. At this institution, whicn comprises all the buildings and appurtenances of both farm and school, 200 colored orphan children will be ed- ucated and tanght farming. The most liberal provisions have been made by Mr. De Mareil to insure the success of this charitable under- tertaking. —$<$—$$_____.. OBDEB BELATING TO GEN. 8.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has just re- ceived a telegram from Colonel E. B. Taylor, at Fort Laramie, communicating the tollowing from the Sioux :—“Red Cloud” and “Spotted Tail” are assembling their bands on the north fork of the Cheyenne river, called the Belle Fouche. Some “Minnie Congon” and «“Ogal- lala” young men tried to get a war arty, but were quickly suppressed by ed Cloud” and other chiefs, who killed their herses and cut up their lodges. This the Colonel considers important, as establishing the wer and authority of the chiefs.
