From the last number ofthe Telegraph
re1sissRhefe Il would appear that many
of our letters have either failed to reach
thor destination, or have been crowded
out. How this smay be, of course, we
do not know, but presume they must
have been lost. With the exception Of
a ex,days of unusual pressure of other
business, we have written nearly, if not
quito, every day. Our. readers have not,
however, probably lost much by the fail
urc.
fThelquestion of an adjourned session
has not yet, been definitely determined.
The Committee on Finance find SOME
difficulty in. preparing the appropriation
bills for twesyears in advance; but this
can probably be done with a reasonable
approxinationSto the wants of the vari-
ous departments of the public service.
But if the State is to be districtedI for.
Members Of Congress then an adjourned
session becomesiimperatiye. There isa
propositions, now before the House, to
adjourn on the 18th Of March, to meet
in an adjourned session on the first Of
February, for the specific purpose of dis
tridting thesState, and passing the neces-
sary appropriation bills, the session not
to extend beyond the period of thirty
days. The result Of. the proposition is
quitesuncertain. sss . Essss-s1E 6sr ssEggE + =.

The bill then pending in the Senate,
and referred to in former letter, which,
under the pretext of providing against
the organizations of military expedi-
tionsl from Ohio into Virginia, striking
covortly at the freedom Of speech, was,
Sfter.a hard contest in that body, finally
disposed of by being indefinitely post
poled, The friends. of the bill pro-
elaimedstheir purpose to be,not to meet
Tire case of such men as John Brown,
who was, highly eulogized, but such men
ssNendell Phillips, and those who, in
Ohio, might be detected in speak6ig or
arritfay' against slavery. The bill would
have been. exactly the purpose Of the
a,surping Emperor Of. France when he
found it convenient to strike down, the
iiberty1of speech and thegpressa gsseiI.
1Bhtfhe death of the bill in the SEN
ate, where il originated, has not satisfied
the friendsof the measure. The tlefunet,
Senate bill has therefore ebeenintroduced
imthe House, where it will give the Yrs
siHid gentlemen an opportunity to ventiI-..
late their Patriotism-7 as some would
-irreYereatly say-their seryility, y It
will probably pass the House, aftercon-
suming much of the time of the session,
and go. back. to the Senate to give the
very conservative members of that
body an opportunity to repeat their elo1
quent speeches. But that the Senate
will so stultify itself as to pass the bill
after having killed it, as above stated, is
not to be supposed. We may, however,
have done wrong to certain members
of the House by admitting that the bill
will pass the House, and hope we are
mistaken therein, But taking it for
granted that the Democrats will allFote
forthe bill, it seems probable to us that
half dozen South-side semi4Republi-
cans can be had to go with them, Time
will show. ~ 4.zt..;.,f, ~, g..ss s,I,
