Congressional Summary. In the Seriats, Friday, a House bill was passed planing in the military service of the Confederate States, after the 1st of July next, all parsons claiming to be citizens of the United States, (Including Marylanders,) residing or sojourning in the Confederate States. The House bill to punish trading in Yankee Treasury notes or bonds was postponed until the next session. A report relative to the case of Major Tochman was agreed to. It expresses the opinion that he had reason to believe that he was to be appointed to the command of a brigade, and that his services would, no doubt, have been eminently advantageous in the position for which he supposed himself designed. A message from the President was received, returning with his disapproval, the act to authorise the transmission of newspapers to soldiers free of postage. The House amendment to the Senate bill establishing the Confederate flag was concurred in. At 4 o'clock the Senate
held on the 27th of April, the following gentlemen being chosen to fill the position, viz: John H. Hatcher, C. C. McRae, Claiborn Burnett, P. D. McKinney, Wm, H. Garnett, Emmett W Weisiger, and James Batler. Considerable excitement prevailed on the subject of the election, and the friends of the respective candidates labored vigorously for their election. Despite the war this ancient town has improved considerably within the past two years. It has sent several companies to the field who have done good service. Lately arrangements have been made to build a paper mill, the foundation of which has already been commenced. The whole building is experted to be ready by the 1st of July. It will be created on the cauri, west of the cotton factory. Manchester, which was founded long prior to the Revolution, was settled by Scotch emigrants and as long ago as 1680 a paper used to be published there. Probably at come future time the town may become to Richmond what Brooklyn is to New York.
