CONGRESS-.

Congress, - like wounded snake, drags
its slow length along" accomplishing very
little, and with no great prospect of finishing
up any thing till the night before adjourn
ment. As yet, the House and Senate are at
deadlock on the Lccompton Constitution
Whether the Committee of Conference will be
able to find key, is uncertain Where the
two parties on the main point are so nearly
equal, and the one is urged on by all the
power, influence and money at the command
of the President and his Cabinet, determined
to avoid the disgrace and disaster of n defeat.
II possible, and 80 many influences can be
brought to bear on few of those opposed to
them, it is impossible to feel sure about the
result till it is actually reached.
The subject of finding money to carry on
the Government under this wastcful and cor
rupt Administration, proves to be difficult
one. The Treasury has about used up the
notes which were issued to be sold for cash -.
and there is talk of another batch being
being wanted soon. Congress is averse to
'ioiieN III SiCI NitSU amounts,
and on indefinite grounds, and the Admins
tration hates to partcularizc. 1t prefers to
abuse its power by creating large debts with
out authority, to plead then that the out
lay was necessary and must be met, anv
way, by a Deficiency ill,-and since the
money is gone, it thinks it is not worth
while to spend time in talking about it,
Others think is; and so the business hangs.
AS for the Pacific Railroad scheme-from
want of money, want of knowledge and want
OF agreement, it gets the go-by till next ses-
sion; and, quite likely, when that time
comes, it will get the go-by again Not
withstanding the great outlay on exploring
expeditions, nothing is yet settled, in an en-
gineering point of vew on the question of
particular route. The field is open for the
friends of either to insist upon the superiority
OF the one which they think would be most
for the interest of their own section of coun-
try. As to the probable cost, no one who
knows much about it, prctends to put the
outlay at less than about one hundred mil
lions of dollars. Applying the experience of
the past on Railroad-building generally, to
the unknown, distant and unnhabitcd region
which such road must be built through,
the actual cost, if the road is built, may he
safely put at from three to four times that
sum. In Our judgment, the country is
good W.. "lf from seeing that work author
lied and begun.

THE AME RICAN TRACT SOCIETY

Some months ago, on the receipt of a cir

Tract Society of New York, we expressed our
intention to give our views ON the subject of

within few days past makes IA fit occasion

The American Tract Society of New York
was formed moro than thirty years ago, so

clude from its publications all discussions Of

To secure the general object, and to guard
against the introduction Of d,noDjnaf;onol

NICE Snow STORM, Considering the
season, the long term Of mild dry weather
which has prevailed for some time past, has
not been Of good omen. The thought that
we must pay for this in May and June would
obtruac itself, Tuesday evening the eyes of the
people were greeted with the sight of min
Sledrdin and snow aakcs, and next morning
the heavy snow lay on the ground, two or
three inches deep. Every one seemed glad
to see it. 1t will soon be gone, and the green
grass will spring up after it so much the more
quickly.

firm at Sutton's Mills as &C. II. Warren &

fctons. Letters soon after began to come in
in reply to the circulars, from all parts of the

office at intervals of two or three days, by two
persons who sometimes came together and
sometimes separate. Soon letters Of inquiry
began to come, asking the postmaster about
