A Bill aiding the Southern branch of the Union Pacific Railroad and Telegraph was introduced. A Bill introdaced, declaring the bridges of thc New Orleans, Mobila and Chattanooga Railroads Post Hoads, was referred to tho Postoffice Com? mittee. The Supplemental Bill was resumed, and an amendment m along all elections to bo held by bailot v?as rejected. An amendment directing that, after registration, the Commanding General of the District should order au election for a Convection, whon tho Pro? visional Government should order a Convention, was negatived after a long debate. * A motion to go into Executive Session was stoutly resisted by the friends of a speedy passage of tho Bill, and it finally prevailed by onema joriiy. Mr. SHEEJ?AJ? introduced a joint resolution re? moving tho disability from nolding office from JOSEPH E. BBGWN, of Georgia,. and R. M. PATTON, of Alabama ; referred to the Judiciary Committee. After Executive Session the Senate adjourned. In tho louse, Mr. MAIXORV, the member from Oregon., wis sworn in.

[Correspondence of ike 'Baltimore Sun.] ' -A/ASHINQTON, March 13. THANES OF CONGRESS TO MB. PE AB OD ?-PROPOSED BELIEF FOB THE SOUTH-ALEXANDRIA ELECTION PETITION AND CC'M3tDNIOAIION-AI? FOB" THE CHARLESTON OBPHANS-CITO MISCELLANEOUS SLAT? TERS. The resolution ol: thanks to Mr. Peabody passed the House co-day. While it was being considered in committee of the whole, Mr. Harding made an effort to ha-.v the clause providing for a gold modal stricken out, but his proposition found no sup S>rters. Be made an effort to excite "the preju ces of the Radicals by intimating that Mr. Pea? body's sympathies were with the rebellion during the late wai*. His words evidently had no effect, for the bill passed the House without a division, and excepting Mr. Harding's one Vote, there was Atone against it in committee of the whole. - Bte Senate jomt resolution appropriating one intrlbn dollars io relieve destitution in the South, led to an animated discussion, in which Messrs. Butler and Logan appealed to the prejudices of their radical brethren. Butler proposed to arnon d by makinir the appropriation for the relief of f ami? bes of soldiers wno died in prison. There are! o number of other gentlemen who desire to speak for or against the bill, and tho discussion will doubt? less be kept up to-morrow. Mr. Wilson presented in the Senate to-day a pc-, tit iou from a large number of loyal citizens, old residents and natives of Alexandria, controverting the assertions made in the petition of JLdge Un? derwood, G ?neral Tucker, the Ridical candidate for Mayor, i.nd others, new comers and agitators. The petitioners state that they ore and always have beeu devoted to the Union, but that ihey have not been hunted down and. know of none that have, nor do they know of any intention to disobey the laws, either on the port of the authorities or of private ci tizens. Tho whole trouble in Alexan? dria ia made Dy a very few persons, lately settled in that cit}-, who ne^r: neglect an opportunity to stir up strife and contention, and breed discon? tent in the minds of the colored peopl . During the incessant and tremendo us fire show? ered from tlio Federal batteries on Charleston, in 1863 and '64. the orphan asylum in that cit}', under charge of the Sisters of Mercy, was completely destroyed, and the sisters, with their charge?, numbering over one hundred, have ever since ueen compelled to five in hired premires, which afford but insufficient accommodations. The general commanding tho district, the United States dis? tict judge, Governor. Aik:n and others, have "ited in recommending an appropriation o? S20, 0 by Congross to rebuild tho institution. Sister .L. Xavier and Sister Mary De Sales, of the asylum, are now in this city for tho purpose of soliciting Congress to make this appropriation, and also to call upon the benevolent of the Northern "cities for contributions. These noble-I carted women bear letters from many Federal o ^ccrs, and others, testifying to tlc caro and devoti ju shown by their order in Charleston to tho 6ick and wounded of both sides m the late unhappy strife. The Correspondents Press Club, of this city, give their inaugural banquet at Wclckcr's to-night. Senator Anthony, Speoksr Colfax and HOD. James Brooks, aro among the invited guests.

[FROM OUE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, March 12fch, 1867.-The Fenian ex? citement seems to have reached its climax Fenian wai- talk is the order of the day. Fenian sym? pathizers crowd the corners of the streets, the en? trances to the hotels, and tho legion of places where spirituous liquors are held for salo. At the headquarters in Chatam street, a denso crowd is al? ways gathered. Dispatches aro received from all parts of the country relating to Fenian affairs, and the sinews of war keep pouring in'from all quarters. When new? is received from across the water, the ..'onions are excited because news has been receiv? ed, and when there are no cable telegrams telling of Tonian matters they are still moro excited, be? cause there is no news-hence the excitement is constantly kept up, over on "the increase. Meet? ings are hold almost overy hour or so, resolutions aro passed, and there is a good deal of talk and no little money to back it. It is proposed that such of the New York merchants who sympathize with tho cause Bhould prove their sympathy by subscribing one million of dollars, which amount will be added to tho funds already in hand, and the whole be duly and promptly applied tn tho assis? tance of the brave men in the gap, about whom we hear from timo to time by telegram. If the men in the gap will do their share of fighting, as ?veil as the mon who are not in tho gap do their ?hare of speech making, there may yet be aoino ;auso to hope that the Fenian bubble will turn out :o be no bubble after ah". Meanwhile it is impossi? ble, as I have on many oocasions remarked, to tell vhether the Fenian drama will turn out to be a ;ragedy, comedy or farce. There has been a great deal of talk of late in the ?ewspapers in general, and the Herald in par licu? ar, in relation to tho new postoffice site on the 3ity Hall Park. The Herald has always contended ;hat public opinion is against the proposed meo mre. A Committee was appointed by the Boord >f Councilmen to hear what the public has to say m thc matter, and met yesterday to receive the lublic ?nd hove a talk over the affair, but tho pub io did not attend, and so the Committee has come o tho conclusion that tho people toke no interest n tho matter at all, and that it will not make the ilighteBt difference, to any one where the post?nico rill be located. - A ruffianly outrage ona lady of respectability vas committed yesterday at the Fontine Hotol, .nd has caused nb little excitement. Two reckless -illains forced the door of a chamber occupied by me Mrs. LAMB, and assaulting the lady, endcavor d to execute their hellish designs. The lady, Lowovor, succeeded in escaping from the room and ailing tor help, but not before she had received evere injuries, from which she may not recover, [f such crimes can be perpetrated in a hotel in the >road light of- day, who shall say that New York ity shall not bear the palm as a nest Of immorali y and vice, that would have put even Sodom and lomorrah to tho blush. Each days' edition of the Herald contains a pro? phecy that we will have " rain or snow in the next Drty-eight hours," and os we have tne former rctty nearly all the time, the prophecy is of course hvays fulfilled, as I heard a wise car driver re ?ark to-day " who: we have ono clear day we ave four rainy days to make it oven." An auction sale of a novel and amusing nature )ok place yesterday on Nassau street. Unclaimed ad unopened packaged were soM by the American xpress Company, tho purchasers being compelled > buy a pig in the bag, and to go it blind. Ono ,rge box, which was supposed to contain hard aro, was knocked down at two dollars and a half, it was found to contain what was worth, at mar it value, about one dollar. Another purchaser, j.paying one^dollar, became the proprietor of a lapidated Panama hat and a couple oi old pho graph frames. Many, however, were lucky in cir speculation and mado a good thing on the coing it blind" business. MOULTRIE invested . ty-cents and became the proprietor of three oken awuiQiuiiJU, worth;-uolUinfl- -?--- J One of the police court judgea reports that in e past two weeks he has collected fines, for in- ' xication, to the amount of one thousand dollars. \ is probable that the bar-room keepers could .ow a little exhibit for the samo time, and from e same individuals. At a meeting of the Ben.rd of Councilmen, held sterday, a resolution was presented directing e clerk to purchase a complete Sie of the Herald r the last twenty-five years, to cost two thousand 1 Ears, and to be placed iii the city library. The 1 Eiolution, however, was laid over. It would bo 1 ?te an interesting calculation to note how many . nes the Herald haB changed its political views in : o last quarter of a century; and it would be moro place to put the file in a collection of natural 1 riosities than in the city library. Two thousand ' liars is but a small price for such a printed cord, and should be cheerfully paid. In response to the proposition in the Herald that j UNT and T/Rv. ehould be nominated by the De- . ocrats, North and South, for tho next Presidency d Vice-Presidency, a candid individual has writ u a letter to BENNETT, comphmcnting him with ' e epithet of a d-d fool. BENNETT is proud of : e compliment, and publishes tho letter verbatim literatim. The candid correspondent should ,vo told us f omething that we did not know bo? re.

JOSEPH n AND HIS Co ?BT, by Mrs. Muhlbach. Hew York, T>. Appleton & Co. Charleston, John Bussed. This new authoress of historical romances, whose true name, it is said, is Mrs. Cuota MUNDT, has met with remarkable success. She was first introduced to the American public, during the lato war, by Mrs. CHANDBON, of Mobile, who trans? lated tho abovo work tor Mesaw;. GOETZEL & Co., publishers, of that city. The book, coming amongst us when there wore whole armies of read? ing men thirsty for any kind of intellectual pabu? lum, when the supply was extremely scanty, and only to be had at long and irregular intervals, met with ? very cordial reception; and, it is said, has led to tho introduction since then of the other work 8 of this authoress. Ihe Messrs. APPLETON have undertaken tho sponsorship, and have al? ready, issued sevoral of her best books. "FREDE? RICK the Great and His Court," the first of their series, (translated by Mrs. CHAPMAN COLEMAN and her daughters), is avery creditable perform? ance; but we cannot endorse the extravagant en? comium bestowed upon it by many of j our cotemporaries, who forthwith styled the' au? thoress the German WALTEE 'SCOTT. Tho best historical romance, perhaps, yet produced in Ger? many ia HAUEF'S Lichtenstein, written, we believe, befoie tho author had attained his 23d year. SPINDLES's Jew, however, if it holds a minor place as a work of genius, in our opinion, rivals any of 3corra master pieces in br'hiancy and fascina? tion. These, and others we could name, have stood the test of time. They have passed through innumerable editions, and still hold their own imongthe classic works of German fiction. The MUHLBACH novels, in our opinion, are merely of ephemeral interest. The authoress wisely select? ed for her themes subjects which arc just now of he greatest interest, and shed considerable light >n tho history and politics cf the day. The late vars and great changes now in progress in thc Austrian monarchy give a fresh and cotemporary nterest to the story of JOSEPH II ; and the recent .var ia Germany lends a charm to every thing re ating to FBEDEBICK of Prussia, tho founder, we nay say, of the Prussian State. He certainly gave t its first impulse to continental power and gran lour, and his name is indissolubly connected with ill that relates to Prussian glory and greatness. Anything, therefore, relating to bim and the great nen of his day, will be eagerly devoured, especial y if presented iu readable form ; and this, we are )onnd to say, Mrs. Mc J ACH has succeeded in do? ng, with an exhibition of no little skill. She is voil versed in the history of that period, a con ummato artist in drawing character pictures; .nd idealizes everything and everybody that falls meier her pen. We do not, however, think that he possesses much dramatic faculty. There is Iso an entire absence in all ber books, of anv? iling approaching in the remotest decree to what 9 known among novel readers as "plot." There 3 moreover ?oo much of the sentimental, now by ;eueral consent, ns most emphatically by the ver? dict of good taste, banished from the more re? peatable works of prose fiction. The Merchant of Berlin, admirably translated y Dr. AMORY COFFIN, of Aiken, S. C., has also cen well received by the press of tho country. It j sad in tone, and not of a character long to sur ive the period of its publication. Bernthal, said to be by the same authoress, 'bother or not wo are unablo to say,-is unmitiga .'d trash, not worth the time spent in itu perusal. Berlin and Sans Souci, recently published, we ave not yet road, but we tinders taud it is a sequel j "Frederick and his Court," although indepen ent in itself. Tho Messrs. APPLETON promise us ame half a dozen more in the course of the next JW months. Tho work now before us, Joseph IL, is the most oluminoiis, and by many is considered the best be has written. As a work of art it is, however, i om opinion, inferior to her Frederick and His burl. The book, of right, should not be called a istorical novel, but rather a collection of anec Ot aaiism ?I T 171 " I nyg I Qn^ -Trtmrnn L The. volume, which contains nearly three hun? ted and fifty closely printed double-columned :iavo pages, covers tho important period of AUB ?ian history between the accession of KAUNITZ to io position of Prime Minister, in 1754, and the eath of JOSEPH LT., in 1790. It mingles romance ith actual events, but is hardly more unfaithful to .ct than the mass of so-called histories, written > support some preconceived theory in politics r morals. Pursuing the same plan as tho ithors ot'tho Schonberg Cotta andiMary Powell aries of narratives, the writer has ransacked the lemoirs of the courtiers .and dependents of the inpress MAEIA THERESA and her son JOSEPH, the tters of such gossiping chroniclers as WKAXALL, id the heavy but reliable volumes of COXE and ;bor historians. Their statements she has woven ?gether with a slender thread of fiction, but we ad few events distorted or strained to meet the ?mands of dramatiQ^Poctlfocjwis this needed, he skill and success withrvbich Prince KAUNITZ bored to ovorcomo tho hereditary hato of tho ouse of Austria for that of Bourbon, and to micnt an alliance political and matrimonial; tho ightful ravages of small pox in tho imperial ousehold; tho sad and romantic fate of JOSEPH'S ives and sisters; his well-meant, but often ab ?rd, reforms; tho union of brilliant talent with uildish weakness, which mado KAUNITZ at once io admiration and the butt of all Europe, ore in lemsolves themes of greater interest than the naginalion could supply. Tho book is, in si ort, rather a contribution to is tor.- than to fiction. Its perusal will not super cdo tho necessity of reading soberer historical reatises, but wo venturo to say that a bettor idea Austrian politics and manners in the eighteenth sntury can be dcrivod from it than from merely sading tho annals and hostories of the same eriod. Madame CHANDEON'S translation has earned tho ammendation of ajl thc critics of tho country, [or work, all agree in saying, has been much otter performed than is usually the case ; aDd in iis connection, wo may be pardoned for calling ttention to a voluablo series of school books pre arod by this samo lady. The accomplished au ?orosfi of St. Elmo, in a private lotter to the edi jr of THE NEWS, some months ago, wrote of Mrs< ?HAND30N and her books as follows : " During thf past four years, this accomplished nd oleg int author, Mrs. A.

SAHUEL W. DUTFIELD, Mr. W. C. ATKIKEOK, some weeks since, Bent to he AthenxBum what ho believes to be the original ersion of the The Jew's.

Mr. Edward 'eacock follows with an erudite dissertation upon be historical incident upon which it is based; this 3 fixed in 1255, but Mr. Peacock basos it upon an ld tradition from which Chaucer's Princess s Tale 8 well as this was, he thinks, derived. Our re&d rs, however, will care more for the quaint verses hemselves than for any events they may com? memorate : THE JEW'S DAUGHTER.

This is robbery in the superlative degree, and conclusively Bhows tba: even under circumstances apparently eoe uro, out goods and chattels are in danger to the expert and determin? ed thief.
