 DEAR SIR-The bill, containing an ap- propriatiop of tltfy thousand dotldrs to car ry on the work upon the raft of Red river, and forty ttotsaasd dollars 10 improve the navigation of the Arkansas river, this day passed safely through the committee of the whole upon the state of the Union, and is now pending upon the question of engross- nent, and may be considered as safe.

 I made an intellectual effort, this morn- ing, to get up the bill granting ten sections to complete the public builings; and the bill to take our census, with view to a State Government.

 We have but three days of the session remaining, 10 pass original bills. By the joint rule of the two Houses, the last three business days are confined to the consider ton of bills which have passed one house or the other. We have got upon our calendar, some five or six hundred bills, which will not be considered at alI-and among the number will be some of our Arkansas measures. But yet hope that may be able to do something more for the cause of Arkansas, before we adjourn. If so, l will apprize you of 1t.

 Yours, &c. 4. II. SEVER.
