The army has been very actively and constant ly engaged in the performance of arduous and important duties. In view of the menacing at tiludti of affair, in Utah, and tlie importance of a prompt and thorough auppressioo of the spirit of rebellion reynin there, the Secretary repeats his recommendation of five new regiments, which lie considers the rnallct addition, to the army which tlie exigencies of the service will allow. A number of defects in the organization of the army aie pojulcd out, and improvements sug gested. The route from El JPad to the Colorado, is designated as the most eligible route for the rail roaJ to the 1'aciac, it being the shortest of ail yet surveyed, and Mssessiug advantages over Lhe others, of grade, climate, distance across the g d.swrls, and a sufficient abundance of water; but the consummation of this project, freed from all j oilier difficulties, would re.pj.re immense of money and a great length of time. .Meanwhile, it is recommended thai at' lut 1 two other rout for the passage of emigrants and i naiisorialion ol military stores, which, if railnwd were built these route, would still IK'ccssary to make accessible vast regions of ..i.r ........

"B lhe importance to the public service of estab lishing a national foundry is again impressed up on Congress. The Secretary says on this subject : A well managed national foundry would very speedily develop and establish facts which would add im mensely to our national weallli. It is scarcely lo lie credited that, with the infinite variety of iron ores and Ibeir boundless extent in the Unit ed Males, we should not IfSMtyet discovered a mine capable of making lhe veiy best gun, or if such be discovered, thai ihere are no means by which lhe public service cau be benefitted by it; but such is the fact, A nirtional foundry would serve as a great laboratory at which lhe qualities and value of metals throughout the whole Confederacy would be leslcil and fixed, j Every variety of iron, with its sK-cial adaption to panicular uses, would, in a tew years, be familiarly known to the country, and individual enterprise would be saved iu ex periment, many tunes the auiount which the ; works would cost, whilst a great national branch of industry might, by this means, receive a le- gU'rosw anu cilicient fcncuurageiu'i.t. , There is but little doubt that many American iron ores are equal at least to those of Norway, ami yet theiatioual armories are driven by ue eessity to purchase from abroad the Norwegian iron for, the manufacture, of small arms. Choos ing lt have t1rrbcst qun.'ilv of arms, we must go abrdad for the bcit tpiahly of iron. A national foundry wouM on teach us to improve the manufacture of iron, and we woulJ be saved the mortification of bringing iron from abroad, and lb, moeVi t0O- we havc. to . for iu j The cwt of heavy guns would presently U 'djiiini.hed. and their quality would on, uihleaibt- edlv, verv materiahy unproved.
