Congressional. Washington Dec. 13. --Senate.--Mr. Johnson of Tenn, introduced a series of resolutions looking to the settlement of the pending disunion. They provide that a select committee of thirteen be instructed to inquire into the expediency of amending the Constitution--first by authorizing a dividing line in the Territories between slavery and freedom, placing them on an equal basis. Second, by compelling, the free States to return fugitives or pay double their value. Third, by authorizing slave labor in the Government workshops, or other Government establishments in the slave States. Fourth, by restraining Congress from interfering with slavery in the District of Columbia until it is abolished in Maryland, and not then without the consent of the people of the District, and compensation. Fifth, by restraining Congress from disturbing the present ratio of slave representation. Sixth, by providing that these provisions be unamended and unalterable. The resolu

ess the representation was explained. He also, by implication, charged the Associated Press with hostility to the Democratic party. Mr. Hunter reported back the Invalid Pension and Military Academy Appropriation bills, which passed. Mr. Johnson, of Tenn, addressed the Senate on his resolutions of yesterday. He characterized the personal liberty bills of the North as direct violations of the Constitution, and denied the right of secession, as the Constitution provides a remedy for evurchased to secure the mouth of the Mississippi, and by doing so would make the mouth foreign again. Mr. Slidell said it was improbable that any man in Louisiana thought of obstructing the mouth of the Mississippi to free navigation. Mr. Johnson continued and referred to Florida, as having been very anxious to come in, and the Government had given her peace, at the expense of $20,000,000, and now she was feverish to go out again. Dissolution would be the death bed of slavery. If he

Mr. Johnson's resolution was taken up. Mr. Pugh replied to the speech of Wade, of Ohio. He stood up boldly in defence of the Northern Democracy. The animus of Republicanism was to denounce all as traitors who disagreed with it. He recited the absur that a State had withdrawn, and all knew five others were arranging preliminaries to follow. Beneath the federal structure was a hidden giant which now showed signs of motion. His voice was storm and his movement earthquake. Mr. P. refuted Mr. Johnson's argument, it was the duty of the Government to coerce a seceding State. It was a matter of discretion only. He eloquently depicted the horrors of civil war, and said he would retire from the Senate if he thought the sentiments of the peopl

From Washington. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Dec. 20, 1860. Senator Johnson's speech yesterday was the theme of universal praise among the abolitionists at the hotels last night. Southerners execrate it. Johnson Johnson is a Homestead bill man. See how certainly agrarianism leads a man to take sides with the abolitionists against his own people. What makes his coercion views more contemptible, is the fact that all the historical statements upon which they were basand it is believed that he wrote the whole thing with his own hand. "Old Joe" Lane's bold and defiant stand against Johnson will not be forgotten by those who witnessed it; nor will Johnson's refusal to allow Southern Senators to correct his miJohnson's refusal to allow Southern Senators to correct his misstatements fail to meet its reward.--When men, pretending to be Southern, make such bids for a place in Lincoln's Cabinet, what earthly chance is there of obtaining any concessions from the Republicans? Senator Pugh has the floor to-day. He i

Congressional. Washington, Dec. 21. --Senate.--Mr. Davis, of Miss., intimated that he would make a sacrifice of feeling and serve on the Committee of Thirteen, and the President of the Senate was authorized to fill the vacancy by his re-appointment. The bill granting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the right to build a bridge over the Potomac, and lay a track through the city of Washington, was amended so as to subject it to the city laws, and then passed by 15 majority. It now requires only the action of the House to make a continuous railway connection with the South western route to New Orleans. The resolutions of Mr. Johnson, of Tenn., were referred to the Committee of Thirteen.
