Feb. 8.--The Northampton, Mass., Courier says that a gentleman arrived in that town, last week, from Columbia, Mississippi, who believed, until he reached the loyal States, that Congress was in session at Chicago.
The belief that it is doing business, and that all the archives of the Government have been removed
[38]
there, is universal in the South.
He was greatly astonished to learn that Congress had been in session lately “at the old stand” in Washington.
