Percussion cap machine.

--We are gratified to announce the completion of this ingenious, and, at the present time, very important piece of mechanism, and we are now independent, so far as the manufacture of percussion caps is concerned. We witnessed the operation of it yesterday, and found that it turned out caps as expeditiously, and as well, as the famous Government machine exhibited at the Mechanics' Institute some years ago. It is, moreover, handsomely finished, and not likely to wear out by constant usage. The caps, which it turns out at the rate of 20,000 a day, are as good as any we ever used. The inventors and makers of this machine are Messrs. W. & C. Bradley, whose establishment across the river has heretofore produced some as fine and ingenious work as any manufactory in the country. They are certainly entitled to the thanks of the whole South for what they have accomplished in this instance.
