The Washington Union of Wednesday night
last, the third of March, says:


"The Vice President retired from the chair of
the Senate tonight about 10 O'Clock, when Mr.
Atchison Ga senator from Missouri) was appointed
10 the chair.


"Bofh houses of Congress adjourned to-nish,
about IL o'cIock-a very interesting session, which
we shall review hereafter. Meantime, we may say
it has generally gone off we'll.


The notifications of the independent treasury
law aDere defeated by the pertinacious obstinacy
Of Mr.. badger in refusing to haze the bill read
t1Oice on the same day that IOhateuer losses
are sustained, may be fairly attributed 10 his in
terposition.


LAS we write (5-o'cIock) Congress is rapidly

presume the President is about repairing to the
Capitol to sign bills, aud that the two houses will
adjourn about l2s o'clock. What measures will
finally pass or be rejected The next few hours will
tell. But one great measure IS now put beyond
the reach of fate. The three nsiLiOn bill has pass
ed. and, happy to add, stripped of the Will
mot pFoviso. Last night the wings made desper-
ate effort to defeat it altogether by going into Com

into The House, and then motions were made for
adjournment. This idle and ridiculous process
mas repeated several times-and then despairiAg
to do anything and hoping for better things in the
morning. the House adjourned, on motion Of Mr..
Boyd, Of Kentucky.


''This morning the bill was taken up--and we
gratulate the country that il has passed. The Will
mot proviso rejected by majority of 5 and then
the whole bill passed bY maj 'r'y of about 30"


In the Senate, Messrs Badger and Mangum
voted against the WiImot Ptoviso, and then against
The appropriation Of three millions to enable the
President to conclude peace WITH Mexico; and
he Wings from this State in the House pursued
he same course. Gen. Cass, of Michigan, vOed

and the South will remember him. Mr.. Allen, Of
Ohio, we regret to say. voted for the Wi1mot Pro.
