A special despatch to the y. Y. Con'mer-
cal of Tuesday says
1--WE are in daily expectation Of 4 procla-
nation from the President calling an extra
session Of Congress, in order to deliberate
upon the present anomalous condition Of pub
lie aflirs and direct the policy Of the govern
ment in the crisis
There can be no doubt, think, that such
extra session will be called for early in Nav.
and that it will be earnestly urged to provide
for the exIgencies arising out of the rapid
progress OF the Southern conrederacy.
The heads Of the various departments are
busi ' engaged in the Encouragement of their
respective trusts, and putting the various bu-
re3us in order.
The management of the Navy Department
has lett all its business in q most unsatisfac-
tory state. The late secretary has allowed
everything to 60 in.o great disorder and neg
lect.
The War Department is also in bad con-
ditiOn. All its business appears 70 have
been transacted in loose and very irregular
manner.
The affairs Of the Department of the In
terror are in a sadly confused state. No
system whatever seems 70 have prevailed in
it.
The reforms necessary in these departments
viii be very great, and much energy will be
necessary TO bring them into busInesslike
condition.
The overhauliog will indeed be general,
and the necessities of the public service will
require much more industrious class Of sub
ordinate officers than found employment un-
der the late Administration.

IHE Tunnel north Of the town is rapidly
approaching completion. The heading
was pushed through to the Lake side of tie
bank on Wednesday. There remains yet
about fifty feet to be made Of the main ezca-
vation. which will probably be finished in
about three weeks. The work has progressed
more slowly Of late than before, owing to the
cFumb!ing and treacherous nature Of the soil
which rendered great caution necessary. \

the Lake side, and q row Of lights enables

SOUTHERN PoLIrIcs.-rhe Virginia Con-
venrion has several reports before it on the
subject Of federal relations. The majority
report goes over the oft trodden ground OF
State rights-rights of States to secode &C.,
says it is very impolitic for the government
to accumulate an unusual amount of troops
and munitions of war within the limits Of q
State, in such c time of profound eace, and
when there are no symptoms of insurrectiOn.
1t recommends the people of sister States to
respond at the earliest moment. The minor
ity reports differ in some particulars. and
one recommends the passage of secession
ordinance.
The State Convention OF Texas on the 4th
inst, declared Texas out of the Union, and
Gov. Houston issued proclamation to that
effect. Gov. Houston, it is said, will not re-
sign, or take the oath of allegiance TO the
State.

ERIcEo, March S.
The extreme snsllness Of the vote in
our town for County Commissioner perhaps need,
some explanation, as it indicates greater indif-
ference in regard TO the Prohibitory Law, than, I
think, actually OK SITS. However much that ipdif
ference may be, an confident there is a much
greater number than five, (the vote Of our town,
all told) who are earnest friends of the law, ard
who are willing to aid in eleeting staunch tenn
perancc man as Commissioner. Nor am ! aware
that any objection to the candidate nominated By
the Convention was the cause, but am Ct the opin-
ion that nc was as generally acceptable as our
former Commissioners Lave been. The small vet
o:t; was IN consequence Of our having no prints
votes; We have been so accustomed to having
item, that people seemed to forget they could
write them. It seems that votes had bser printed
but, by some delay, ours did not reach US until
the Thursday after the election. As understand
tae matter, 1t Is nobody's business, in particular,
IN the towns, to see that votes arc on hand.
Would 1t not be we'll for future Conventions
that meet to nominate candidates for Commission
sr, to appoint Town Committee, in tho several
towns, whose bushes, it shall be to procure the
votes in season, and distribute them, and see that
temperance men are, at least, enough interested
