EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss.-The
correspondent of the United States Ga
zeiie says. that sit is generally under
stood that an extra session of Congress
will take place in May. The state of the
Treasury is reported to be such. as to
render this early converting of Congress
indispensable to the progress of govern.
ment. About two millions and half Of
Treasury notes, beyond the estimate com.
municated by the late Secretary, have
gone into circulation, leaving deficiency
to that amount. In the aggregate of APP.
preparations made by Congress. at this
session, there is also a wide difference in
the statement contained in the last report
from the Treasury. Although the ap
preparations have been kept within the
limits prescribed by Mr. Woodbury.; al.
though, in scarcely an instance, has any
supplementary grant of money been made,
yet the Treasury will be without dolla,
before The first of May; and. conse.
quently, the aid of the legislative arm
must be called in without delay.
