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.

rade. Referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The Kansas bill being up, Mr. Nicholson, of Tenn, replied to Mr. Wade's recent speech.--He highly eulogized the Democracy of the North. The South, he said, feared, however, when that Democracy was powerless, and three-fourths of the North were controlled by antislavery sentiment; Congress would abolish slavery in the States. Against this, an amendment to the Constitution was the only security. He advocated a consultation among the Southern States, and declared that an attempt to coerce South Carolina would bring war. Mr. Doolittle said the admission of Kansas was the duty of Congress and would bring peace to the border. The bill was further discussed and made the special order for Monday next. Mr. Davis, of Miss, submitted a resolution, looking to an amendment of the Constitution, declaring slaves to be considered property in any State, and in all relations to the Federal Government. Adjourned until Thursday.
