Played out.

--It is conceded on all hands that the General Assembly has about played itself out. In the protracted session now, happily for the State Treasury, about to close, no one measure has been initiated or successfully carried through without being clogged with amendments or nearly jawed to death by friends and enemies alike. Most of the measures of any account have been yielded to after hard struggles as necessities of the times. Up to yesterday, the bill laying taxes for the support of government had not passed, though the General Assembly have passed a resolution to adjourn on the 31st inst. No doubt when the heavy bill for current expenses for the present session is presented, it will go through speedily. A state of war has no perceptible effect in diminishing the amount of senseless gabble with which many honorable members have deemed it their right to indulge in to the detriment of the public interest.
