Con grcss.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Fitzpatrick
announced that the Vice President had been
called away from the city. and, therefore, be-
fore the Senate organized, it would be neces-
sary to elect President pro tenn.
An election was accordingly had, when
Mr.. Fitzpatrick received % votes, and being
declared elected, was conducted to the Chair
BY Messrs. Slidel and Foster.
A large number of petitions, mostly of a
private character, were presented and refer
red.
A resolution e1empting Major Dashiels,
Paymaster in the Army, from the loss OF a
sum of money, lost overheard by the upset
ting of a yawl on the Florida coast, was
passed.
The bill for the admission Of Minnesota
was then taken up.
In the House of Representatives, the Def
cheney Appropriation bill was further dis.
cussed.

Letter from Richmond.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
RICHMOND, March 29.--The Senate, for
tunately, on Saturday, sent communication
to the House, that they had determined 10
postpone the election of Major and Brigadier
Generals. The result is, that some OF the
members who expected to par'ake of these
houors, (perhaps at the expense OF some
now in commission,j will have to wait for
another General Assembly. The country
will, however, not suffer, as we are at peace
with all the world. The James River bill
failed again in the House on Saturday, for
want of 5 votes, but will come up again TO-
day. A small Turnpike bill passed on Sat
urday; but as the members are now leaving
every day, all appropriations are pretty we'll
run out. The Strasburg Extension will be
settled to day in the Senate, by its defeat OF
course, and will remain so, it is presumed,
unless again tried in a thin Senate. But l
think enough members will probably remain
to keep it down. On Saturday night, good
many bills were ordered to engrossment, and
about twenty Senate bills passed. The Tax
bill and General Appropriation bills, the
Bank bills, the bills defining the powers and
duties of the Board of Public Works, and
about 20 or 80 bills altering the Code OF Viz
ginia; the bill to clear the Penitentiary of
the free negroes and put them on the Public
Works, besides large batch of private bills,
are vet to be acted on. But think the bust
ness IF the session will be brought to close

ICOMMUNICATED.


have been attending the Union prayer
meetings, held in this city, regularly since
their commencement. Though not mem
Der of any Church, have been deeply in-
terested in these meetings. | am satisfied
that the feeling prevailing In this communi-
ty is not the result of the working of mere
Church Machinery. The Spirit of the nigh
ty God is in it. May l, with great defer
ence, make o suggestion? If the good peo-
ple of this city were to desire any person
supposed to be competent to deliver lecture
upon any given subject, would they not gi7
timely notice Of such desire, and thus give
the Lecturer an opportunity to arrange MS
thoughts, that they might be properly and
forcibly presented to his audience! Inc
man who speaks upon the commonest topics
must have time to prepare himself lem
perance Lecturers, notwithstanding the thou.
sand startling facts that crowd every step OF
life arrange their thoughts tefOre coming into
the presence of an audience. Preachers care
fully study their sermons, even politiciahs
take tbosght" before addressing their con-
stituents. Now my suggestion is that those
Christians who pray in public, should prepare
themselves before coming into the great con-
gregation. Will it be said that they are pre-
pared because thoy come with spirit OF
nrayer? We know this is not SO. Men,
Drawing men, are taken by surprise, when
suddenly and Unexpectedly called upon to
pray before large audience. And 1t Is ire
quently painful, in the extreme, to witness
their Embarrassment, to say nothing OF inc
effects of such embarrassment upon the spirit
of the prayer himself. l assure you, it is
most deleterious to the listener. Prayer to do
good, must be heard by the people as we'll
az by God. The most devout man cannot
prevent mental criticism. He may not and
does not criticize cautiously, but the unavoid-
able act, is ruinous to his present religious
enjoyment. What is the remedy? think
! it is easy. Let those persons who are ezpec'
ted to engage in this public exercise, be notl-
fed the day before hand. They will then
be mentally as well as spiritually prepared
before leaving their closets-their thoughts
if not their very words, will be arranged 'in
order" There will be no studying for mt
expressions during the performance OF this
awfully solemn duty. | need not reason
this subject OUTPUT if this course is pursu-
ed, take the word of man who may not
discern spiritually, but who can't help rea-
soning, that deeper interest vii! be begot-
ten here than has been hitherto felt.

Tbe Utah Eypedition.

According to the plan of the War Depart
ment for the service in Utah, there will be by
July about FIVE hundred troops in that Terri
tory. This force will probably consist Of
about one-third cavalry, sixteen guns OF ar.
tillery, and the rest infantry. Russell, the
contractor for transportation, will employ
three thousand FIVE hundred transfers to
drive the supply wagons. In view of the i'm
portance of this expedition, it is under con-
sideration with the Government, it is stated,
notwithstanding the brevet appointment OF
Colonel Johnston, whether it would not be
proper to assign an officer OF more service
and experience, as Gen. Harvey, or some 9TH
or to the command Wash. Star.
