Extra Session of Congress.

Tho PRESIDENT Concludes not to Call an
Extra Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 21.
An official telegraph dispatch has been sent
to New York this morning to 60 by the Cali
fornia mail steamer, announcing that there
will be no proclamation issued for an extra
session of Congress.
There is much speculation as to how the
service of the Post Office Department will be
maintained. In quarters of the best informed
on such subjects 1t Is said the law authorizing
the issuing contracts will continue to be car
red on embracing the issue of treasury war
rants as usual, but as there is no money to
pay them, they will in the hands of contract
ors serve as the basis of loans 1t is not known
that any other evidence of certificates of in
debtedness will be issued.
PHILADELPHIA, March 81.
The New York Herald's Washington cor
respondence says the question of an extra
session of Congress is at last decided. The
President has authorized telegraph dispatch
to be sent to Gwin, who sails for California to-
morrow, that there will be no extra session,
Forney's Press contains call for another
Democratic State Convention, to vindicate the
principles of the party outraged and insulted
by the convention of the 10th, and to proclaim
their confidence in Gov. Packer, who was as
sailed and prescribed at the dctation of the
federal power. The convention is to be held
at Harrisburg, April 18th.
An authoritlve statement is being prepared
which will probably be made public tomorrow
or Tuesday, showing the condition of affairs
and the manner in which the Post Office De-
partment for the present is to be conducted.
AS before stated, they will not issue certifi.
Gates or adopt any means not strictly within
the letter of the law. That they intend to
cut down the service is highly probable and
lop off many unnecessary expenses. In fact
there will be a general reform of the whole
service, which in the opinion of the President
and Postmaster Holt, is very much needed.

NEW Il RK, March 10.
A mass meeting was held last night in
Tammany Hall for the purpose of giving ex-
preston to the feeling with which the Demo

one. Ex-Mayor Meckle presided. Isaac V.
Fowler read the resolutions, and Senator
Brown, Of Mississippi, the Hon. John Coch-
rane, of N. Y, and Captain Rynders, made
speeches, which were to the effect that Cuba

CR1NoLINE FOREVER The following item
from last Wednesdays Hudson North Star,
should silence forever all objections against
Crinoline
"A lady, from st. Paul, while walking over
the ice, between this city and Lakeland, broke
through the ice, when about half way over,
and would have been drowned, had it not
been for the timely assistance rendered by q
man who happened to see her. Crinoline was
of some service in this case, for it caught on
the ice, and prevented her from going under"

This line is we'll known to our business
men, and the travelling community, as being
one that can be relied on. The boats are all
first class. mostly new, and well offered
They are capable of doing an immense freight
business, and deserve well of shippers
They will this season, as last, carry away from
our river cities, the surplus produce of our
sell to a good market
The Galena, Dubuque, Dunleith and Min
nesota Packet Line is also on hand, and are
now making daily trips from Dunleith to Wa
bashaw, carrying good loads of passengers.
The line will be mostly as it was last season,
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1858-1859, 1859-03-26

This Line is designed to make regular daily
trips from this City to Dunleith and Dubuque,
as well as from this City to Lacrosse. We
are not advised which of the packets are to
be detailed for the latter service
The War Eagle, Capt. Gabbert, will run
from Dubuque and Dunleith to St. Louis, in
connection with the regular Line, connecting
with the Minnesota Line of daily packets
The Minnesota River is to be well boated
this season. In another column will be found
the advertisement of the Davidson Line, COM
posed as follows
Favorte "a new side wheeler). Capt. DAVIDSON
Frank Steele. ....................C Capt. HATCHER
Eollan ................ Capt THIMENs
rrelgnter.. ............ :.Capt FARMER
This Line will run regularly during the
season, in low or high water making daily
trips. -...
Besides these, that little craft the Antelope,
regular as the sun, and her well known Cap
tain Houghton, must not be overlooked.
And the Roberts Line, composed of the
stern-wheelers Time and Tide, and Jeanette
Roberts, and the Wave, Capt Maxwell, and
the Clarion, Capt. -, will also run on
the Minnesota this season.
Our Sister Cities at the Falls are also going
to have their lines, windlasses and all. The
Ida May, Capt. j. G. Reno, will ply between
La Crosse and point as high as she can get
between the mouth of the Minnesota and the
Falls No doubt
There are doubtless other boats which will
make regular trips this season; but we are
not now advised as to the names, captains,
etc. The tariff of freight and passage will
undoubtedly be much lower on all these lines
this season than formerly.

The WILsoN1AN SINGING SocIETY.-We
had the pleasure Of attending, on Friday eve
ming, an entertainment given by the above
musical society to their friends, at the Good
Templar's Hall, on Roberts Street. The Hall
was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and
all participated in pleasant evening The
Society treated their guests to some excellent
music in the early part Of the evening, COM
posed of songs, glees, quartettes, &C., evinc-
ing considerable musical talent and excellent
cultivation on the part of the performers
About nine o'clock the guests, to the number
of probably $50, sat down totwo long tables
covered with delicacies and substantials of all
kinds, by liberal profuse. Aftersome time spent
at the feast, several toasts were announced,
and responses made by persons present, when
the company dispersed at a late hour.
The Society, we are informed, numbers
about seventy members, ladies and gentlemen,
and meets for the practice of music once in
each week. The Society is regularly organi-
zed, with the officers usual to musical associ-
atoms. We wish them success, and hope to
meet with them at their next levee.

FROM The MINNESOTA RIvER.-The st.
Peter Statesman says the river is entirely clear
from ice at that point.
We clip the following items from that spi-
cy sheet the Mankato Independent
"The river is now on "high''-the rise
being within three feet of high water mark of
the great freshet in August last, which point,
from present weather indications we Judge it
will reach. The river is gorged with ice, we
learn, at nearly every bend from here to St.
Paul. The gorge opposite town extends sew
eral miles below, and to the Blue Earth above
Above the mouth of the Blue Earth, the Min
nesota is not yet broken up, or was not, at lat
est advices.
There will be several new boats, in the
Minnesota river trade the approaching season,
two of which are owned by Capt. w. F. Da-
wilson, of the "Frank Steele" His new
boat, the "Favorite," and the "Eolian,
small boat which he has recently purchased at
St. Louis, together with the "Steele'' and
"Freighter" are to compose the Davidson
Line" which will, undoubtedly, prove the
most popular conveyances on tbs river The
Eolian, we understand, is to be run from this
place to Fort Ridgley, during high water, and
from the Rapids to this place after the river
becomes too low for the large boats.
The Frank Steele is lying at Shakopee; the
Jeanette Roberts, some three miles above
that place, and the Freighter at LIE Sueur;
all of whichare undergoing repairs.

NEARLY A ElhE.-fau dldrIu Vi IRE was
rung yesterday afternoon about five o'clock,
during the high wind, and it was soon reported
that the City Hall was on fire. On repairing
to the spot, the roof was observed to be
smoking around one of the ohimneys, from
which it had probably taken fire.
The "Hope" Engine company, the Pioneer
H. & L. Company, and Minneha-ha Fire Com
pany were soon on the ground, and did what
they could to extinguish the fire, which was
soon put out, with but trifing loss.
The Engine companies experienced great
difficulty in getting water, and had the fire
been bad one, serious results might have
happened for want of an attainable supply
To compel the officers of the companies to
run around during fire and sound frog
ponds to see if there is water enough to take,
is too bad, and the Department never can
be efficient while such state of things lasts.
MORE FrREs-ALAosT.- or three alarms
of fire were given yesterday morning. during
the high wind, occasioned by chimneys in the
upper town, burning out. The Hope boys
were on hand ready, but no necessity for their
services arose. Persons cannot be too careful
during high winds. Gan ounce of preven-
ton, &C."
ANorHER.-An alarm was rung about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, occasioned by
the burning of a chimney in the Luxembourg
House. Hope Company, finding few gallons
of water somewhere, got a stream on very
soon, and no damage resulted from the burn.
ing. The Hook and Ladder Company were
also out. Dragging the Engines and Trucks
through such muddy streets as we have now
is no joke.

The PROSPECTS OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
from the Lake are much mixed up. Some
say the ice is still sound and firm. Others
make it appear that the prospects for an early
opening are good. .. S--a.
Here, the high wind which prevailed since
Sunday morning, had but little apparent ef
feet on the ice, except to loosen it at the Lower
Levee, and widen the gap at the bend, but
did not, as was hoped, drive it out.
1t cannot be much longer, however, before
the ice leaves us. The boats at the Levee are
making preparations to put out to the head Of
the Lake the moment the ice leaves. The
river is clear most of the way except at st.
Paul The Minnesota River Packets are also
prepared to run the moment the ice goes out.
We are few days later than the unprece-
IDENTIFY early season of last year, but will un-
doubtedly have an opening earlier still than
the average date of the arrival for the last
twelve years. Those who suppose that it
will be late in April ere we hail the arrival of
the first boat" will, by examining the dates,
&C., heretofore, published, see there is still a
chance of this.
ANOTHER Ice SL1DE.-The large field of ice
between the two shores, above the bridge,
moved down yesterday until wedged into the
piers, where it rested. 1t was really fine
sight to see this large body of ice moving
down, ploughing up the new Levee, and
grinding and breaking up against the piers
and piles.
The Steamer Clarion, lying at the Upper
Levee, received the whole force of the slide,
and was forced up almost entirely out of wa
ter, on the Levee. She is considerably dam
aged in her hull, is careened partly over, and
hold full of water She was in the Sheriff's
hands at the time. We are unable to state
the loss in figures. Below the Lower Levee,
but little progress has been made by the ice
in moving down. 1t remains about as it
was. ..-
The weather was very warm yesterday.
A warm south wind blew most of the time.
A slight drizzling rain fell, also, for two or
three hours, and it was altogether such wea-
Their as tells hard upon the ice.
The ferry boat was steaming up last eve
ning preparatory to commencing her regular
trips for the season.
