CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Borh Houses OF Congress (says Monday nights
union) adjourned this day, in conformity with
their joint resolution, at 10 o'clock. The hour
was considered as peremplorily binding on The
Sneakers but we trust il is the very last time that
the resolution for adjournment is 10 be liked al a
particular hour-for what is the effect to-day1-
Two or three of the most important bills OF The
last DAYS of The session were cut of by the knees
The navy pension bill is thrown overheard, 10
the great delriment Of many poor widow The
post office route bill, embracing, among other
important features, the provision reviying the
privilege of ranking in favor OF all those post
Offices the salary ofwhich does mol amount 10 one
hundred dollars, was overlaid. The bill con-
firming the Cherokee treaty, which had been
twice rejected in the Senate on Saturday night
and then passed by majority of one, was lost Tor
want OF lime 10 act finally upon il.
The important bill which authorizes the Presi-
dent 10 employ 100000 OF dollars in iacilia-
ting The settlement Of peace with Mexico, was
actually los, by Mr.. Senator Davisof Massachu-
sets, speaking against time, whilst voices from
the chamber were heard demonstrating against
him for this determined attempt TO prevent The in
PRODUCTION OF resolution tor prolongiDg The SEES
sion for lew hours. This measure, which is
deemed most important for negotiating peace
between the two cou ntries, and the fundamental
principle Of which was recognised by the vote OF
The House Of Representatives on the passage oil
the bill, and by decided vote Of the Senate on
their own resolutions. has been sacrificed by
Senator's wasting The time Of the Senate until the
moment OF adjournment had arrived.
Whatever mischief may arise from the loss OF
this bill, may be fairly attributed 10 The "honora-
BILE" Senator from Massachusetts.

any man shall think, in view Of these things that

proper to remember that Mexico still claims the

MILITARY ARRANGEMENTS

The offers made to the President, and to the War
Department Of the services Of volunteers the appli-
cations for appointment officers and the inquiries
are so numerous, that it has become impossible to
answer them with Promptness. The following is
therefore published for general information:
The President has deemed il best to call for such
volunteers as are required from particular States
through their governors as, from their generally
superior information, they best Judge OF the
relative efficiency Of the different corps, and which
ofthem can with the greatest facility and least ex
pense be embodied for the service for which they
are needed. The President has no power to appoint
officers Of volunteers-the law requires that they
be appointed by the proper authorities of the States
in the manner prescribed by their laws The offers
Of services, and the applications for appointments,
should therefore be made to the governors Of the
States and Territories.
Those who propose to tender their services should
be first enrolled and organized into regiments, or
battalions where battalion is designated in the
quota called for from State. When this is done,
they will tender their services through the governor
Of the State who will give notice thereof to the Pres
ldent or Secrehryof war. lhey VIII be duly IN
ormed OF the acceptance OF their offer by the Pres-
dent and notified to be ready to be called into SER
vice when the public exigencies may require Their
pay will commence when actually called and muster
ed into service, and not before.
Volunteers are required by law to furnish their
own clothing, and, if cavalry their horses and
horse equipments; but none under the rank Of COM
nissoned officer will be received into service who,
in years, are under eighteen forty and
no horses but such as are perfectly sound and in
good condition to render effective service No par
ticular dress is prescribed for volunteers. They are
at liberty to adopt such uniform as they think
proper, but is advisable that those entering the
service adapt their dress, well as may be- To the
nature Of the service and the character of the coun
try and climate to which they may be called. When
called into SERVICE they armed and equipped at
the expense Of the United States. The organiza-
