were prominent among the throng. In contrast
with these were the representatives of the army
and navy, attired in their brilliant warke trap
pings. All the leaders of the incoming administra-
tion now in the city were present, including Gov
ernnr Chase, of Ohio, whose chances for the Cab-
net increase. OF the officers of the present Cab
net Mr.. King was present; also nearly all the

MISCELLANEOUS.
1t is now considered very doubtful if vote can
be reached upon any of the propositions from the
Committee of Thirty-thre Mr.. Corwin's continued

the vote, gives the impression that no vote is de-
sired upon any of these propositions, and none
pected, but that Congress will await the result of
| the Peace Conference, and then what can be

the Personal Liberty bill. 1t was thought it would
be put upon its passage to omorrOw and would pass
both Houses in few days.
Unless ExPresdent Tyler carry back to
Virginia such assurances will satisfy the Con-
venton there, the Old Dominion will go out on the
I'D, and Maryland may follow her. The watch
word at Richmond is, 'wait for the wagon, we'll
all take ride and such conservative old Wings
as Riyes, Goggin, Flournoy, Janney, and others
are ready to leave the Union for the Southern
Confederacy. This is known to the members of
the Peace Congress-, and those who obstruct set
tlement will incur fearful responsibility.
