Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
Congress Yesterday agreed to adjourn on the 4th
OF August sine die. This, of course, announce
ment that nothing will pass but the regular appro-
pration bills. The opposition are in exstacy; for
they mean to go home and proclaim that nothing has
been done after passing the Nebraska bill, which,
far as the Northern States concerned, is to be
made the scapegoat of every political sin of omission
or commission throughout the country. The Anti
Nebraska men forget that whatever momentary sue
may attend their efforts, they never be
sidered national party, and can never look to
tional support.
There has been some talk of expelling the Hon.
Charles Sumner from the Senate; but he and his
friends will not be gratitied at that way. He will
probably introduce bill for the repeal of the fugi-
tive slave law but it will be quietly tabled and the
hero will not be able to turn toward the galleries.
Eft nunc, spectatores plaudite!
The Publications of the Mexican treaty having
been exchanged, boundary commission will have
to be appointed, composed of scientific men. who
shall combine knowledge with energy of character.
Col. Emory, who has ably conducted the last
boundary survey, and who has a vast deal of expo
rience on the subject, will probably be selected to
superntend the scientific portion of the WORK, while
Gen. Campbell of s. C., the late popular commits
Office. Col. Emory's Report, accompanied by maps,
drawings, sketches, &C., is about to be published,
and will constitute of the most reliable scientific
works published in America.
There will be no river and harbor bill this session;
consequently no chance for log rolling. 1t is even
doubtful whether there will be general fertilization
bill. The bills for the reorganization of the army
and navy may stand better chance
All legislation of private character is as good as
suspended In speaking of the things this Congress
has done, it is perhaps right also to speak of the
things they have not done, and to which no incon-
siderable value ought to be attached by the coun-
try.
The news from Europe continues to be of mar
cotic character. The beligcrents evidently initiate
Homers heroes, who, as we know from the Iiad,
talked very long while before they fought. We can,
however, afford to look with complacency, espc-
cially long England and France think fit to in
terneddle with the affairs this Continent They had
better apply themselves to useful purpose

8 The Louisville Journal -Prentice-one of
the most rabid Federal papers in the country, thus
admits the dissolution of the Wing party:
.'Unquestionabiy the wing party is, for the pres
ent at least severed at the dividing line between the
North and the South, and we do not know that
party cut in two in the middle, properly be
sideTed live party STILL the southern section Of
the party is alive and united and the northern
ton is also alive and united and we hardly know
how two live sections can make dead whole. But
suppose that In this case the two cannot Be re-
garded as constituting whole Of any sort, either
aye"or dead" $500
