 Congress adjourns on Monday, provided the pubic business absolutely essential-that is to say the appropriation bills are disposed of to- day. MT. Buchanan, in his annual message. notlhed Congress that it was absolutely neces- sary, he should have two days previous to the adjournment to consider all such bills. This is good idea as the practice heretofore has been to pass the appropriation bills at the last hours of the session and send them to the President. with all sorts of legislation tackled upon them. not giving him ample time to consider them, and forcing him to give his assent to things he did not entirely approve of, or else loose the appropriation.
 The news from Utah, is of the most en- couragng character, and the President has con- munlcated to Congress the appropriations for the two regiments of volunteers will not he needed. Gov. Cumming writes that Brigham Young acknowledges his authority and the Mormons submit. They are also leaving Salt Lake City for the southern portion of the ter rltory in large numbers, as also for the States | Thus has the administration of President Buchanan by its bold and efficient policy dis posed of another subject of serious mport. together with others it inherited from formerad. ministrations.
 British war steamers have been searching American vessels r the Gulf, upon the pretcxs Of suppressins the slave trade These out rases have been quite numerous, and our govern ment has sent vessels of gar to the Gulf to l protect our commerce from such ind gnites; also, protested to the British government against any such practices, and asked for ample &C., knowledgment and rcparation for what has been done. The impression prevails that this w'l not lead to war, the interests of both countries, and especially England, are opposed to 1t and would suffer greatly in that event. Judge Sebastian offered an amendment to the army appropriation bill. appropriating one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to make a | 'N''Ns to the headwaters of the Tron river, which was adopted, by both houses. This is the only appropriation of this sort that has passed the present session, and trust the people of west ern Arkansas will appreciate the success of Sebastian and Johnson in getting it through. However, it is not reasonable to suppose that all wilt do so, a: some will blame them for their vote 10 postpone the consideration of the Pa cfc r4rsad bill, notwithstanding that vote was given for the benefit of the south and Arltan- SIS especially If the vote had been taken thjs session. there is no question an extreme north crn route would have been adopted, in which Arkansas would have had no benefit. By the 1 poStponement she is uot injured, and in the mean;ime the friends of southern routes can srengthen their plan of operations to secure road from which some benefit can be derived by the south.
 Tine nomination of hust fer Congress in the southern district is gratifying to his numerous friends and admirers here, in aHd out of Con. sr-ss. While here he occupied hi.h position
 
 course there can be no doubt of his election bv d large majority, as there will be no opposition to him in the ranks of his own party, and trust the know nothngs as they have no hope of electng a candidate will give him their votes This Is due him, inasmuch portion of the northern press alleged his failure to receive the nomination two years ago as a dsal proval by his constituents of his course while here. Ii he has opposition every veter should also be sure and give him his support, that the north may see he is fully indorsed
 Charles E. Mix for many years chief clerk of the Indian office. has been appointed and confirmed As commissioner of Indn affairs n | the place of J. W. Denver, who has been for some time Governor of Kansas. and who will not return to this city. This is good appoint meut, as Mr. Mix's knowledge of the business of the office and his capatilty to discharge it's dn.ies eminently fit him for the station. i There has been some complaint in certain l quarters in relation to the mail from Jackson- 1 port to Pocahoutas proposals for which were l steamboat The lowest bid proposed was for 1 SlO,O0O which the post master considered as altogether too high, and offered $7,0OO Se blstian has finally got him to agree to raise the bd to $ GOO which the b'dtler Ono D.

 Sebastian on vestereav made an able speech in favor of the Indiana Senators retaining their seats. The vote was taken to-day, and the Senate decided by large majority they were properly elected and should retain them
