THE ADJOURNMENT OF CoNGRRss.-There
was considerable opposition in the Senate this
morning to the House resolution providing for
an adjournment Of Congress on Tuesday, the
9th Of April. Mr.. Sumner is decidedly op-
posed to an adjournment, and several other
prominent Senator's think that Congres should
not adjourn SO early, or at least that the status
of Georgia and several other questions should
be settled first. Nsssrs. Anthony, Conkiing
and others are in favor of adjournin'g on the
9th proximo, but 1t 10 probable that compro.
mise will be made, and the session prolonged
q week or two after that date. The amend.
ment proposed by Mr. Hamlin to strike ont
April 9th and insert April 10th seemed to be
favorably received, but no conclusion had
been reached when the morning hour expired,
hence the subject went over until to morrow,
and the Senate proceeded to the considerati on
OF the Indian appropriation bill.

to the Senate the following nominations:
