ThIrsy-sIxth CONGREGATIONAL Session.
From Washington.


WASHINGTON. Dec THE Treasury receipts to
day were under $40 900; drafts paid, nearly
Sf5G0000 and drafts issued for about the same
amount. Net balance in the Treasury Sl.O90O Ot
exclusive Of about Sl,500,000 in the mint anC
branches. The present receipts FROM all quarter:
are less than has Of the recent expenditures. The
Committee on Ways and Means are considering the
replenishment of the Treasury
Information here says that 5000 men are organ
zlDS IN South Carolina, TO take the Forts, if the
Government refuses to surrender them after seces-
sion.
Secretary Co5b has neither resigned or left Wash
lngton but is confined to the house by painful inds-
position.
An informal conference of several Senators, in
GLIDING Fessenden, Bigler, Pearee Pugh and others
seemed to favor the extension of the Missouri Com
promise line to the Pacific, basis for a eompro-
mise.
Mr.. Cobb after several interviews with Hunter
finds himself unable to extrcate the Treasury from
its present bankrupt condition, and proposes re-
signing forthwith.
A caucus composed exclusive of extreme South
ern men, at Browns Hotel, expressed themselves
decidedly adverse to meeting with the House Spe-
cial Committee.
WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-The Special Pacific Railroad
Committee, to whom referred that portion of
the Pacific Railroad, viii meet soon. They will IN
doubtedly adhere to the old bill recommended last
year, and action will depend much upon the course
OF the southern oktIeS.
Should general secession of the Cotton States
take place, no favor viii be shown TO the Southern
route. 1t is considered an important matter by the
Republicans. Republican members of the commi
tees are in the majority, and will insist upon the
central route if other is agreedto Should seces-
sion take place the bill will be passed. The incor-
porators stand ready to commence at once.
The members from South Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi drew pay and mileage to
this date, which leaves the Treasury without money
for similar services to other members.
As an expedient for raising funds to meet the
present want of the Treasury, member of the
Committee of Ways and Means has suggested that
immediate payment Of duties on merchandise now
in the public stores and warehouses be enforced.
1t is rot probable that the Select Committee of
the House will meet before next week. The opinion
Is well founded that Messrs Hawkins and Boyce are
the only ones who viii ask to be excused from
serving thereon. The indications are their request
will not be granted.
