crowded. Mai. Gen. Meade was among the dis
tlnguished visitors and was, Of course, the CEN

good spirits. Congress wa, well represented
In the gay assemblage, and the array Of female
beauty was quite charming. Dancing In the
lower parlors was indulged In by the young
folks, and the entire affair passed of pleasantly

Tn. Railroad H,xhv.ym...

1t is said that after the robbery Of tho train
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the other
day, General Sullivan sent out a force which
formed continuous line, hemming the robbers
in. The thieves, on finding themselves thus
situated, resorted to many stratAgems to avoid
capture. Some of them donned citizens
clothes, hid their military equipments, and,
with their horses hitched to ploughs, set up the
appearance of farmers and husbAndmen. One
portion of the thieves, finding 1t wSs lmpossi
BILE for them to escape, undertook to play of
the ag.of-truce dodge, holsting white flags, and
reporting they had come in to get the body OF
soldier who was killed at Antietam. Other
are hidden in wooded districts, and we do moi
expect to hear of many captures.

The " "CoIorsd Psrson " I'm ths Senate.

A lively debate occurred yesterday in the
senate on the Enrolment bill. One Of the
Dsyises was as usual very hard on Mssssschu-
setts and Its military Senator. Mr.. Powell
thought the bill was not so much to get soldiers
as to kill slavery, and preferred that, II 1t must
be killed, Legislators adopt some less cowsrdly
mode. Mr.. Grimes expressed Ms particular
satisfaction in the prospect that 1t might kill
slavery, and was very happy to have an oppor-
tunity to do so under the Constitution. Then
Mr.. Salisbury deplored tho terrible condition
Of his village home in Delaware in consequence
Of the enlistment Of negroes there, and mourned
over the alleged fact that eolorsd women had
been seen In the Senate gallery with white
ladies.
