0fotly 70 our Joy, we learn that the large
naioglfy Of the memben are fully aware OF
their responsihslity. and fully equal 10 the
tASk which bee devolved upon them. They
lavs determined, 90 We learn, to make the
Meaben Of Congress to make. They have
determined 10 deny Themselves one of their
most cxqAisite enjoyments-to restrain th.t
pEopsnelty which has 80 often been found
uacoa4sollabIe, and tho Indulgence Of which

have resolved to make no long. winded
speeches, to indulge In no appeals to Ban

bodies can form no conception of the pain

to those noble Congressmen who are pre-
pared to sacrifice everything, even the plea
sure Of hearing themselves talk, to the good
Of their country. We have heard it sug
gssted that ladies ought to be excluded from
the eallesy, thereby Withdrawing one main
iuducement for young members to show
Themselves OF. But there will be no occa.
siou now for such an ungallant proceeding.
TIE whole Congress- Senate and House, old
members and young members, bachelors and
Deaedicts-all have determined to forget
alike Bunkum and the fair sex for season,
and we hope that the fair sex and Bunkum

very best thing they can do. Work, not
talk, b the order OF the day, and the only

Improbable debate, they may 60 to the other

without sufficient consideration.
The Currency and the army will Of course
be the chief subjects of consideration-we
were going to say discussion; but, fortu.
nately, We are not likely to have much of

h little doubti that very decided steps will
b taken in very short time. The evil is
gigantic, and remedies of the most deter

Ne learn, and steps taken Cor retiring the
outstanding issues, of . character so de

been dealing In real estate at four or five
times IL actual value, wish they had never
