MEETING OF CoNGREss.-In niaeteen days
Congress is to assemble at Washington in extra
session, unless Jefferson Davis should get hold
of it before the Fourth of July. The first thing
Congress must do is to pass an indemnify bill
in favor OF the President to protect him against
The legal consequences of those unconstitution-
al acts which necessity has compelled him to
adopt for tie preservation of the government
In the next place Congress ought to provide
tor the expenses of the war. To do this effect
ually, instead of borrowing from merchants, it
ought 10 establish national bank, with CAPT
tai Of one hundred and fifty millions, whence
the government would be enabled to obtain
loan Of fifty millions immediately upon the
security of the deposits and the incoming reve.
nue. The next thing to be attended to is the
increase Of the navy and the efficiency Of the
War Department. Lastly, general bankrupt
law must be passed to relieve merchants from
their liabilities, and to enable them To commence
a new career under brighter auspices. All
these measures may easily be passed in three

The WATERING PLACES AND HOTELS One
Of the effects of the war will be to ruin those
Northern watering places and hotels which main
ly depended for their support upon the South
Such is the feeling generated that Southern peo-
pie would not come North now if they could
Their sojourn would be anything but pleasant
under existing circumstances. But they can.
not come. The authorities In the Confederate
States will not permit them, and few of them
have money to spare. The war is fast beg
caring all classes in those States Even the
Virginia Springs are forbidden to them, for the
Old Dominion is now the battle ground. Nor
will our watering places be supported by
Northern boarders, as in former years. The
hard times, the general depression in business,
the gloom arising from national calamity and
the want of money, will keep away thousands
who were in the habit Of frequenting those
fashionable resorts. 1t will be decidedly bad
year fer the hotels and tho Watering places.

IHE W AR ENTHUSIASM UNDIMINISHED-We see
it stated in several journals that the war en-
thusiasm has completely, or at least partly,
died away. This is by no means true. The
enthusiasm for the war is just as strong, Just as
prevalent, but hardly so great novelty, as
ever before.
An instance of this undiminishsd enthusiasm
ia found in the experience of the Hon. John
Cochrane, ex member Of Congress from this
city, who, as has been already announced, has
been offered and has accepted the command of
volunteer regiment. We understand that
Mr.. Cochrane has received his colonels com.
mission, and that it is his intention, under
instructions from Washington, to organize,
equip and forward to the seat of war as many
regiments as can be recruited by him. Col
Cochrane's headquarters are located at No. 814
Broadway; and in two days, such ia the patri-
otto ardor of the people, enough men have
volunteered, by companies, in squads and indi-
vidually, to form two or three new regiments.
From this fact alone it is evident that there
is no falling off in the enthusiasm Of the people,
no decrease of interest in the war, and no
lack Of determination, among all classes,
to have a hand in this struggle for our
national existence. The truth IL. that our peo-

THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS.
From the Ny. Herald, of Monday.


The course Of the administration at the pres
ent time appears to be of vigorous and ener-
getic character Troops are being rapidly
concentrated in the vicinity of Washington in
such force as may change the original designs
of the Southern leaders upon the federal capi-
tai. There can be no doubt, from the fact
that all the Southern Roops actually in motion
are observed in every quarter to be advancing
towards the North, and from the fact that
large bodies of men are quartcred IN Richmond
Harper's Ferry and other points on the South
ern border, that the intention OF the secession
lists was to make an attempt upon Washington
and, as preliminary measures, to seize to Navy
Yard at Norfolk, the arsenal at Harper'S Ferry
Fortress Monroe, which commands the en-
trance to the Chesapeake, and Portsmouth,
which faces the Norfolk (Gosport) Navy
Yard. If they had accomplished all these
maneuvres and succeeded in making Balti
more the basis of operations against the federal
capital, Washington would have been com
pletely surrounded by hostile troops and cut
off from all communication with the North.
But the rebels were foiled in this attempt
They were too slow for the prompt action Of
General Scott, and the capital is now secure
with its garrison of 900 and the hordes of
troops which are organized all over the North
ready to pour into it at the word of command
There are probably not less than a quarter of
million Of men ia the different Northern
States enrolled at present, of whom about 6S,-
600 are qualified for active service in the field.
1t is not over estimating the number to say
that $1,000 troops, from all points Of the
North, are at this moment ready to march for
Washington, independent Of the men already
there, aud those guarding the railroad from
Annapolis. That the government is resolved
TO carry the war vigorously, and the bitter
end, is evident from the fact that it hhs Just
decided to receive out Of the $4,000 voun-
teers called for, 40 600 men to serve for three
years, %, 600 tor FIVE years, and l3, 600 out Of
the regular army to serve for five years, besides
enrolling $4,000 sailors for the navy An ad-
ditional call has been made upon Pennsylvania
for twenty regiments Of infantry and one of
cavalry, all of which have already been tend
cred 70 the Governor for the service Of the
United States government, Intelligence receiv-
ed from Harrisburg last night intimates that
q prompt movement is about to be made from
Pennsylvania at once which may result in the
Of Baltimore by federal troopswith-
in fortY-eight hours. It is certain that troops
are being hGrriedly concentrated at Camp
Scott, and Chambersburg; to the latter point

ORGANIZE VOLUNTEER COMPANIES!

We have no doubt that the citizens of Brad
ford expect and desire to bear their full share
Of the burdens of war They are already to
rally for the support Of the Government, and
to maintain the integrity and permanence Of
the Union. To do this, men will be wanted
in the ield-not boys, impeed by excitement
but hardy, thinking men, who take Up arms
with a full knowledge of the dangers and
hardships they assume, aud with a stern de.
termination TO face all obstacles in manner
worthy OF their patriotic ancestors
Volunteer Companies should at once he or
ganized in every township in the County. We
know that there is lack of military knowl-
edge, which has prevented men from stepping
forward in the work, as they would otherwise
have done-but there should no longer be any
delay. We are glad to hear from many of the
town, that Companies are already being or
ganised. Each Company should consist of II
men, including officers, who are in earnest, and
after being organized, and eIecting officers, the
Capt. should tender?ther services to the Gov
ernor, and await the order TO move, spending
the intervening time in drilling whish can be
done without arms.
Bradford has a reputation in this matter to
maintain, apart from considerations of duty
and principle. At the first alarm, hundreds
of men sprung forward, willing to serve their
country in the field. a necessary aud una
voidabIe, delay bas taken place but we trust
the enthusiasm and spirit of our people re.
mains the same. If we allow Tioga and even
little Potter to offer more volunteers than
Bradford, we shall deserve aud gain reputa-
tion which will not lie credtable.
Wherever Companies are organizing, let
them speedily complete their organization
They will all be wanted. The Governor has
already authority to call out twenty one more
regiments, and the Legislature will undoubt,
edy authorize him to call for an additional ten
regiments Bradford should have a regiment
in the field. Nothing short will maintain her
character for bravery and patriotism from dis
management and odium
