meet again in Richmond on the fourth Monday

rulezof secrecy up to the hou of adjournn ent, we

1t is understood large number of bills have
passed Congress during the late session. that have
not yet been made public, but which will be 81
soon as circumstances render publication conso-
nant with the interest of the country.
In consequence of the rule of secrecy on
which Congress has acted, that time has been
employed in the transaction of important busi-
ness, which would otherwise have been con-
sumed in useless debate for few public men can
always resist an opportunity of appealing to the
popular in order to carry favorite measure.

The objects of the above organization might
be greatly facilitated if the ladies of neighbour

We have interesting information OF the de

may have some important bearings.
Since the Manassas battle, all the energies
and resources Of the Government have been dl-

ton has been ingeniously turned from this cir
cum>tance by reports of advance movements
on the part Of Mcclellan, and by other divers

been very quietly and efficiently completed

CONyOCATION OF CONGRESS.

We publish this morning the proclamation
of President Davis, calling Congress together
this day in the Capital The occasion of this
proclamation is simply what is stated in the
proclamation, q. e., the failure to deliver to the
President, for his signature, bill passed by
Congress authorizing him to continue the ap-
pointments made by him in the military and
naval service during the recess of Congress,
or the present session, and to submit them to
Congress at its next session." This and this
only, is the cause ofconvening Congress to-day.
