No PROSPECT OF ORoANIzArioN.-The Ma
tional Intelligencer Of yesterday says: I'VE
are unable to cheer our readers this morning
with any information that the interval OF re-
pose since the adjournment OF Friday has been
so improved by reflection, or consultation
among the members, as to give a hope of relief
to the lament table state Of paralysis in which
the Representative branch of Congress has,
during seven weeks past, lain helpless; and so
unyielding, we grieve to say, was the temper
manifested at the sitting Of Friday last as
almost to extinguish the hope of any organiza-
ton at ALL
TIE YoRKTowN.--On his last trip from New

her competitor five miles in forty.
THE VERA Cruz STEAM LINE.-It is feared
in New Orleans that mail communication by

Tie Contention Of Railroad OHic..s-The New

LYSCHBURG, Jan. 90.
The officials of the different roads, who have
days past, came to an agreement on Saturday
night last. The scheduleha not yet been made
up, but learn that changes will be made on
tn eroads west OF this city, commencing with
the Virginia and Tennessee, which will make
close connections with the Lynchburg and AL
exandria, at about A. NJ. and p. M. It's
probable that the South-Side Road will also
change from their present schedule and still
continue to make close connections with the
Virginia and Tennessee, at the hours above
mentioned. This arrangement will go into
effect within few weeks, or probably sooner.
aud must be Instantaneous to tie South.
Side as well as to the Danville Road, as far as
relates to the through travel.
Our Northern mail arrangements still con-
time in the same deranged condition; in fact,
we place little or no reliance in the present
mail service. Cannot something be done to
remedy the evil! The Adams Express is the
best substitute we have for regular mail SER
vice, as by it we can send a letter by enclosing
it in a Government snrsiope and the payment OF
twenty five cents, which is no more, after all,
than our primitive fathers had to pay for post
age. This mode has been adopted by many Of
our citizens, and one seems to regret the
amount paid, as they have the satisfaction of
knowing that their letters are promptly de-
livered. y. K.
