A number of resolutions were introduced, bat were postponed until the next session. After the ndoption of a complimentary resolution to the presiding ollicor, the Se? nate adjourned sine die. The following lulls and reports wei o con? tinued to tho next regular session of tho .

Tbree hundred long-faced, sanctimonious, humble followers of tho JLord, yesterday, called upon President Grant, to congratu? late him. Grant said, "Thank you." Tho conversation then turned on shaking hands. Grant said to shako hands with all the par? sons in tho United States would bo tire? some. All the clergymen then smiled, and the interview ended. It is interesting to make an estimate of how much loss this has been to the mission? ary fund, for instance: Three hundred boiled shirts. 880 00 Boot blacking. 30 00 Fare from Baltimore to Washing? ton, exclusive of dead-heads.... 100 00 Hotel bills, exclusive of quartering on friends.1,000 00 Odds and ends. 150 00 Return to Baltimore. 400 0'J Woar and tear in running around to tell people what they had seen. 200 00 LOBS of time. 1 50 Total.$2,211 50 Being of a philanthropic turn of mind, it is painful to ns to contemplate tho ex? penditure of $2,000 aud over for such a purpose when thero aro sc? many poor heathens suffering for tho lack of Bibles and Gospel teachings. Just think of tho number of pennies it will require to replace this from tho poor Sunday school boys who will be asked to contribute something for missionary purposes overy Sunday. \N~erv York Herald. -o THE DANGER OF TUE STREETS.-In ono evening three persons were run over and killed by :ho street oars in Now York and in Brooklyn. Two were killed by horse cars, and one by a dummy. So that steam in tho streets is clearly not worso than horses. In Brooklyn, tho car ran over a boy, cut him in two, and went on. The fact that Gen. Grant carried with him into Hie White House his persona] staff, is complained of as a stride of military power, having no preeedont in the history of tho country; but, as if this were not sufficiently startling, Gen. Sherman has eclipsed it in ? the issuance of his order assuming command j of the armies of tho United States. Ho j therein announces his staff to embrace thc ! head of every bureau attached to the War I Department: The Adjutant-General, ItiBpec ' tor-General, Quartermaster-General, Com missary-Geueral, Paymaster-General. Chief of Engineers, Chief of Ordnance, and Judge Advocate-Genernl, all of whom, heretofore subordinates of tho Secretary of War, a civil officer, are thus swallowed np into tho mili? tary by being declared staff officers of tho General Commanding tho army. This anxi? ety on tho part of tho now Administration to intensify the military power, followed up as it has been by tho appointment of only personal adherents to important offices, smacks so much of European l'usage, as to give the moro timid Republicans grounds for the betrayal of a little nervousness, which correspondents unite in saying is so cretly whispered t hrough the political under? current which surges around tho Capitol. [New Orleans Titnes. -o ARCTIC EXPLORATION.-Dr. I. I. Hayes lately delivered, in New York, an interest? ing address on Arctic explorations. Thc lecturer notieed the course of Franklin's, McClure's and Kauo'a explorations on the maps, aud explained wherein ho had devi? ated from their course until he reached Cape Union. 100 miles North-west of the limit of Dr. Kauo's expedition, and whence ho (Dr. Hayes,) within ?50 miles of tho North Pole, gazed in admiration on the open sea which surrounds it. Ho then de? scribed, with much effect, his approach to Greenland-the people, their dwellings and habits of life; their island iceberg*, rising 300 feet above the level of tho sea, ana buried seven times that depth beneath its surface, three miles in circumference, and 300,000,000 tons in weight; enough, he said, if made marketable in tho city of New York, to pay off the national debt; the /cords or bays, thirty milesiu depth and ton in width, in which these icebergs ure formed by the thawed snows of the high interior until, breaking from the laud by their own weight, they float on in imperious grandeur, uutil melted away in their journey to tho tropics. Other Arctio expeditions are now fittingout in England and Germany, and we may yet hear more of this open Polar Sea. -o OFFICERS RETIRED.-Among the fiel 1 of? ficers retired by tho recent order consolidat? ing regiments, are: Cols. S. P. Heiutzelmau, Daniel Butterfield, Gordon Granger, John J. Reynolds, Daniel E. Sickles, Wagei Swayue-all lately aciing as brigadier ol major-generals-and others of less note Lieutenant-Colonels Adam J. Slemner, (ol Fort Pickeus fame,) Alfred Sully, James H. Wilson, (the captor of Jell'. Davis,) Maurice Maloney, Frederick T. Dent, (a brothor-in law of tho President,) George A. Andrew, and others. Several of these latter havt also ranked as brigadier or major-geuerali of volunteers. A list of about twenty ma? jors aro also retired, among whom aro Maj, Thomas YV. Sweeny, tho famous Fenian Seveu hundred and sixty-four officers of al grades will bo retired. Two Germans had a very peculiar case iu Court, at New York, last week. Uetweei thom they had invented a whale as large a: life, which they exhibited to the public as; veritable livo one, at so much admittance per head, four assistants being placed insidi lo work tho monster. The deception wa: complete, but at the conclusion of a per formalice, some spies in tho audience waitei hehiud, and observed tho four Jonah emerge from tho vhalo's belly, whereupoi they attacked them, and cut the whale t( pieces. The suit was brought by tho manu facturer of the whale to compel tho ownc to pay for him, which tho Court decided hi must do. -o A MIXKD DINKER,-A dinner, called ; press dinner, was given at Delmonico's, ii New York, on Saturday night, at whicl ladies and gent lemen sat down and ate, am drank, and toasted, and spoke, until 1 o'clock at night. Tho women paid fo their own dinners, and did their share c tho talk. There was no smoking, but ai immense amount of puffing-mutual ail miration. Tho ladies wero of tho litorar ami strong-minded sort, and tho gentleme wero artists of the Bohemian order, allow ing nothing to go unappropriated, an making tho most ot the situation. -o FIVE MURDERED MEN FOUND.-The bodi?. of thc five men that wero taken from th Kinston jail and murdered by a mob, som weeks ago, have been found. Two wei seen fioatiu.,* down tho river, a few da} ago, and wero picked up and buried; au since that timo thc other three havo bee seen floating by a seine beach, and ni doubtedly have been rescued.-Newham (! (J.) Times. -o Josh Billings says: "When a young ma ain't good for anything else, I like tew s< him carry a gold headed cane. If he oau bay a cane, let him part his hair in the mi< die." Special ?Totices. THE SEEDS OF SICKNESS-Baron Mun? chausen tolls ii Htory of a post-boy's born, which had a hnmbcr of wicked tunos blown into it ono frosty night, but made no response. Neverthe? less, when it wat hung before a hoi Gre, tho tunes, which had been frozen in, thawed out, to the - amazement of all present. Just HO tho human i sybtem, subjected to injurious influences during the winter, sometimes give no token of tho effect they have produced upon it, until the moist at? mosphere of spring developes their fruits. Many spring diseases aro the result of winter impru? dences, anil great and especial care should be taken of the system in tho cold season, so that it may bo in a sound and vigorous condition when thc malarious fogs of March and April make their appearance. To this end, strengthen tho stomach and the general organization at this season with HOSTETTEft'S BITTERS. Tako this pleasant vegetable antidoto in advance of tho uprising of the mephitio mists and vapors, which produce chilla and fever, and other miasmatic diseases. Remember that it is a preventive medicine-as powerful to protect aa to restore. Tho stomach is apt to be overtaxed at this timo of tho year. It is ? H, period devoted to dinner and supper parties, and luxurious living generally. Feasting and late hours weaken the digestive organs and disorder the liver. The effect of tho Bitters is to invigorate the one and regulate the other. There is no month in the twelvo wbon a tonic and alterativo is more generally needed than in this, and there is no preparation of that nature so thoroughly salu? brious, so bracing, auden entirely free from nndue exciting properties, as thia celebrated vegetable cordial.
