Congress at Fish To,0n.-Numbers of eur
citizens visited Alexandria yesterday for
the purpose of seeing the Congress in ses-
sion at that place. 1t is not unusual for
this body to attend to business on the Sab
bath day, but as the actual business is to
supply the country with fish, it is very ne
ce.sary that the members should work
while it is called to-day" (for shad and
herring don't wait for the fsherman,) and
the necessity is supposed to obliterate the
sinfuness of the act. Many persons attend
there who might be termed "lobby men,
bers;' their business is to appropriate the
money of the uhinitiated to their own pur-
poses. They operate skilfully with the
,tiHIe JOKER" ssosat cloth, faro, and other
.pgfsctly fer'' games, and generally "put
through" any member or stranger who falls
TITO their hands. Variety, the spice of
life is abundant there at this season of the
year; but those who unfortunately get
mixed with the crowd seldom relish the
fare, spicy as it is.
The Germania.-This society of eminent
musicians will give their ''62sth concert in
America at Carusis Saloon, On Wednesday
evening next. The Germania Society
enjoys a reputation in Washington that will

have not departed from their old rnle of
charging enough to live on, but not so high
as to keep out those vino are unable to pay
the ''dollar rate" The programme consists
Of selections from the most celebrated
composers, AMI the ability of the performers
nsures satisfaction to the audience. They
bring with them on this visit, Alfred Jaei
the pianist, and Camille Urso, the female
7iolinist now only twelve years of age.
The Senate has adjourned, and most of
the ''honorables" are preparing to return
to their homes. What they will have to
accomplish before they can leave this City,
no one can tell. One thing is certain: they
will not be rid of beggars until they do
leave; and they are the greatest pests a
Senator has to encounter What was done
to-day will be made known officially to-
morrow. Rumor says that Mr.. Buchanan
mas been confirmed as minister to England.
We should not be surprised at this, as the

OHr City appointments are yet in the
mist. If any one knows who will be Mar
shal, Postmaster, District Attorney and
Warden, he has that sure sign Of wise
aead-a still tongue, for the newsmongers
Of the North are as much in the dark as
ether folks, and are manufacturing and
snatching at rumors of every description.
The adjournment of the Senate does not
prevent the President from making his ap-
continents, and is no security that the ems
vii not in the course Of o week be among
the "outs.''
