THE ADJOURNMENT or CoxeREss--THE COMING
SEASON AND MATTERS ABOUT TowN.-Preparauon
are making for general stampede Immediately af-
ter the adjournment of Congress, particularly
| among its members and hundreds Of others, who
have scarcely drawn breath outside of the city
for twelve-month. In less than three weeks,
Washington will be lfeIess and deserted. Some
few members from the extreme West and South
will remain in the vicinity until after next session,
but we bell eve they intend to pass most of the re-
cess in Gotham and the Quaker city One South
erner, who is philosophically inclined, says he
intends to pass his time in the ''city of notions,'
for the purpose of investigating the social, moral
and political condition of the unfortunate free
negroes, and poor and oppressed white laborers
Of that and other Northern cities, full report of
which will be prepared, together with plan for
their immediate relief. He says the Southern
States will be called upon to furnish the necessary
means for carrying on the work. After two
months quiet, which will be very acceptable to the
citizens, ''the season" will commence afresh with
the opening of the next session, with new life and
vigor. Those who ''frt the fan" to unite with
those who ''fan the hlrt" in the usual prediction
that 'the next season is to be an unusually gay
one" They say "Carusi's Sorees to be more
seect--the assemblies more brilliant and private
shops parties and balls more frequent, the levees
at the Presidents too to be resumed, and we
are to have scientific and literary lectures at the

On day before yesterday in the debate On the
Civil aud Diplomatic BILL an appropriation for
the payment of $3,36o,00O Qntercst inciuded)
of the Mexican indemnity came up. This in
stalnent is not due until May next
Dir. BAYLY, chairman of the Ways and Means,
advocated this ien and said that some contract
had been made with the Secretary of State, by
which the Government would save 81 per cent,
and he was not for disturbing it. This contract,
it seems, was made with the houses of Corcaran
& Riggs, and the Rothchilds. And it appears
they allow by this contract premium OF 81 per
cent. to this Government
Now the rate Of exchange as between this
city or New York, and the city of Mexico, is
about len per cent in our favor. This is caused
by the existepce of II transit duty on specie from
the city of Mexico to Vera Cruz of p per cent,
and an export duty from the latter OF Al per
cent, making seven per cent, and IT requires
about three per cent more for freight, Insurance
and interest on Shipments Of specie from Vera
Cruz to our ports. Well, then, this money is
appropriated now, instead OF next session, to
pay sum due in May-eight months in adj
vance This at six per cent interest would be
four per cent more that we ought to receive for
prepayment. But at the rate Of interest in
Mexico, which is eighteen per cent, it would be
twelve per cent mOre-makiDg difference OF
at least fourteen per cent. in our favor, and at
most twenty-sx per cent.--which this Govern
ment ought to save, if the money is paid now.
Yet the contract allows us only 81 per cent
and allows a profit of l63 per cent to the
bankers-and that on 100000 alone, is only
half million of dollars-quitc comfortable
sum to be realized by few bankers without
the employment of dollar Of capital.
Now We don't know precisely who made this
contract with these bankers. Whoever did it
was either incompetent or negligent. But We

We take great pleasure in inserting the fol-
lowing letter Of Mr.. GARNETT, of Virginia, TO
the Macon Meeting. He speaks like lineal
descendant of the Virginia Of 49,
LYD's, ESSEX Co., VA, Aug. %, 1850.
GENTLEMEN regret that could not accept
your invitation to attend at Macon, on the 22d
inst, the Mass Meeting of those opposed to the
so-called g Compromise or Adjustment bill of
Mr. Clay, and in favor of the Missouri line OF
SO 80, to the Pacific" An absence from home
delayed the reception of your letter, and though
the day is now passed, cannot forbear return
ing you my cordial concurrence with yourselves,
and your fellow-citizens, "who favor this mea-
sure, rs the best means of securing portion of
the rights of the South, and of preserving the
Union"
The Missouri line has the sanction of thirty
years of our history, and is the only compromise
we can make without a neW surrender of right,
which would be fatal in such struggle rs the
present. The line of $500, with a distinct
recognition Of the right to hold slaves to the
south of it, or our rights, every jot and every
to by the Southern Convention, and which
Virginia and Georgia, and other States of the
South have repeatedly pledged themselves to
defend, sat any and every hazard, and to the
last extremity"
Around this standard, all true Soutberners arc
fast rallying, and the signs of the times, espe-
cially in your noble old State, cheer me to be-
lieve that the submissionists, who reject it, will
be as few as the tories of the revolution. l
trust that the Old Dominion will not allow
Georgia TO outstrip her in this cause, but that
we will stand side by side, in defending South
ern Rights, or what is the same thing, State
Rights.
A united and determined spirit will at once
maintain our rights, and save the Union; all that
we need is The Union Of The South, for The sake Of
the Union.
remain yours respectfully and cordially,

THg QUESTION SETrLEp.--The Journal of
Commerce Of this mornings is quoting from the
Albany Ereniag Journal at the North, and the
Charleston Murcury at the South, from the
Boston Alias in Massachusetts, and the Columbus
Se,uiaei in Georgia, to show that there is a
great deal Of angry discomfort with the late bills
passed by Congress- forming the series called
the Compromise. The Journal Of Commerce
makes out its case very handsomely. 1t has
brought evidence enough to show that the pre-
tended settlement Of The sLacery question as SET
Element al all, and that the Compromise is only a
new ground ofquarre. If the Journal Of Com
merce had been little earlier with its proofs, it
is possible that the members of the Syracuse
Convention who voted for the silly resolutions
proposed by Mr.. O'Conor's committee, would
have been for striking out one or two OF them.
