Correspondence Of Iaquirer aud Chronicle
HARRlsBURG, Nav 5, 1857.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The session is drawing TO
close. The Apportionment bill is in the
hands of committee Of conference, COM
posed of Messrs. Jordan, Killingcr, Cress-
we'll, Ingram and Meyer of the Senate, and
Messrs. Foster, knight, Crawford, Hines
and Cauffman of the House. They meet
every night; and il is understood that the
joiut committee has appointed Messrs. Fos-
ter and Jordan sub committee to arrange
bill. if possible.
The general appropriation bill has pas
sed both Houses, and is about to 60 into
the hands of a committee Of conference TO
settle sundry differences.
The bill for the sale Of the Main Line
has passed the House, and was up before
the Senate to-day, and put in second read
ing.
The Senate Committee, to which it was
referred, amended it in several important
particulars so as to be Tess acceptable 10
the Pennsylvania Railroad co., and less OBJ
icctionable generally. Tho indications are
that the bill will pass the Senate in few
days.
A bill arpropriatiug three millions of
the expected proceeds If the Main Line to
the Sudbury and Erie Railroad company,
has passed the House; but it is hoped it
may be defeated in the Senate. 1t certain
" ought to be arrested. 1t is high time
Pennsylvania should cease approprating
money for any such purposes; and that a
democratic House of Representatives should
have taken such step is worthy of note.
No time is yet fixed by the Senate for
adjournment, though the indications are

The rains here have been excessive for
several days, and the Susquehanna river is
high. Il is reported, and ! doubt not cor
rectly, that one or more dams on the pub
lie works have been washed away near Hun

an indefinite time on our Main Line, and
be the occasion Of heavy outlay for repairs
Mr. Petriken of the House is lying very
i'll at Beehle,'s, with What is but too well
known as the National Hotel disease. He
has been lingering for some time, gradually
wearing away, under the influences of that
mysterious aud insidious poison, and the
report now is that be is not expected to live
until tomorrow morning. He is the Rep
resentative Of Lyeoming County, aid was
a young man of promise, but it seems his
days are about numbered.
To-day bill was approved by the Gov
ernor for the release of Genl. VIM. L. Small

been languishing for some nine months,
under decree of the Supreme Court for an
alleged contempt of Court.
