TIME TO COME HOME.—We very willingly assented to the brief absence of the President and Cabinet; but it is now time for them to return. We have kept the capital in perfect order since their departure, from the Secretary of the Treasury down to "the man that works the wires." But the task is very arduous; and, then, Mr. Fillmore gets all the honor. If our fellow-citizens feel disposed to hail the return of "the Government" with cheers and serenades, our consent is hereby given, but let there be no drinking: the thermometer is the only thing that has a right to get high at this season of the year.
Our telegraphic despatch to-day reports that the President is expected to arrive in Baltimore to-night.
