Wasiixcron, Aug. 17, 1866. On no fimilar occasion has there been such order and decorum az characterized the proceedings of the two houses of Covgrese last night. Until the moment of ad- Journment, which wae after daylight this morning, every member semed to realize the responsibility of his position and the magnitude of the great ques- tions pendiwg between the two houses, No evidences of intoxication could be seen, and a: oo time during the might was a quorum broken. Every few moments were the officers announcing messages from the Senate or the House of Representatives, as bills passed the one or the other House, and were sent for the concurrence of the Other I predicted that the Sevate would strike from the Ocean Steamer bill the Collivs notice, but in this I was mistaken. The Senate passed the biil precisely aa itcame from the House, ‘Tne Iplomatic and Consular bill became a law, with a few triffing amendments to the bill as reported by Mr. The Post office appropriation was passed and ap ‘The Legisiative, Executive and Jodicial Appropriation Dill will be wgreed to the first thing to morrow morning, by the House receding from two 01 the Kansas provisos, prohibiting the use of money to execute the proseut Terrt torial laws, and the senate receding from its amendment providing for the Trriiorial Logisla- Ware of Kansas.

If this amendment is insisted on by the epablicans to morrow, and Iam {uclined to believe it Will be, then some $15 ,000,000 will be shut ont from ‘the commercial channels of the country. The army coa- ‘tracts for clothing and cupplies are all made, and the arti- oles will be furnished. The consequeuces resulting from ‘defeat of this bill must fall upon the soldier and those Aeteating 1", apd not upon the government. ‘The Senate was in executive seasion, for a short time, during the py bt, and a number of vojmportant Consular ‘Pomiwations were confirmed, also a Marshal for Alabama, | {ne officors of the two houses deserve great praise for prowytness and energy in keeping up their business ‘Goring this heavy pressure upon them. © An efort will be inade to-morrow to extend the sesrion er tw nty-fvr or forty eight hours. in order to give We pri vate claimants achance to pass their bills, This ‘Will be stret. uously opposed, and it + the opinion of many Mbers"tbat it wil) pot be #: cee aful ‘There are on the Speaker's tabie and private cal ender opwards of four bund @’ bills waiting the activa of the Houre. and many of the persons interested ere bere, and have been for months.

BALE OF ABOLITION BOOKS—A VIGILANCE COMMIT- TRE YORMED—FLIGHT OF THE O¥YENDING ¥Ai- mer pore ryeanney Mons, Avg. 16, 1856. There has been great excitement here to-day, which had its origin in the sale of aboition books by # stationery firm io this city. The name of she firm im question is Strickland & Co,, the individus? members being William Strickland and E. Upson. The omy charge against them was the selling of books that were regarded as of aa in- cendiery character, inasmuch as they favored the free- dom of the slave. ‘This, however, was more than our people coulti gub- mit to, and @ committee of five of our citizens was ac- cordingly formed, who waited upon the individuaie above alluded to, and ordered them to leave the city within five days. As 890n as the action of the committee became geaoral ly known, the excitement rapidly increased, and the par- ties, for fear of more desperate measures against them, fled the city in the most secret manner possible, The firm was in the enjoyment of a large business, and bave heretofore been liberally patronized by our citizens. Further Particulars of the Storm at the South. New Orveans, Aug. 14—P. M. The recent storm (accounts of which were despatched you this morning) also proved very destructive in this city. Several vessels lying at the wharves were mere or leas injured, and a number of buildings unroofed. From all sections of the country accounts continue to pour in of the fearful havoc that has been created. ‘The greatest damage, however, appears to have been done at Last and Caillou Islands, though it is impossible as yet to say what accounts may come to hand from other sections. The etorm appears to have come from the Gulf, and tt isnot unhkely that some of the Texan ports may have suflcred severely. Last Island, where the destruction of property and life ‘was £0 great, is about half a day’s sail from Galveston. New Orreans, Aug. 16, 1856, It is now believed that the number of lives lost by the dreadful storm of Sunday and Monday wi!! reach full two hundred and fifty, including men, womea and children, but mostly the former. At Last Island alone, ona hundred and ninety dead bo- dies have been found, the sight of which was terrible. ‘The total loss of property by the sudden and un ooked- for calamity is computed at $500,000, while some place it at a stil higher figure, The passengers by the steamer Star are believed to have been all rescued. Had the storm overtaken them in the night, however, the entire numbsr (over two hun- dred) must have perished. Our Washington Correspondence. WasaixGroy, Aug. 16, 1856. The Session of Saturday Night—Increase of the Pay of Members of Cungress— Despatches from Mr, Dallas—The Central American Question, etc., etc. The session of the Senate last night had but one inter. esting feature in tt, and that was the voting on the bill increasing the pay of membera of Congress. The House bili not only provided for a salary of $6,000 for each Con- gress, but also applied the increased pay to the present Copgress. The result of this bill would be to give cach member of Congress back rations to the amount of near $2,(00, and $1,000 per mouth during the next Congreas, or $3,000 for a three mot ths’ session. Mr. Benjamin was astonished that the Senate would eutertain such a pro- position. In this view be was sustained by Sepatora Bayaré, Houston, Pugh and others; but the scent was warm, and the game was not to be so easily lost, and the courtry has presented the spectecle of = Congress voting themselves back pay, a pay they were no more entitled to than the last Congress woald be or any other previous Congress. Yet the act wasa very proper climax to the proceedings of this extraordinary legisla tive body. Duriog the amendments on the appropria tion bills, Mr. Brodhead of Pennsylvania, watched them closely, and objected to th-m with a uniform “shriek” for economy, but when the money was being voted to himseif he yielded most gracefully to the ciroumstances of the hour, and without hesitation, voted aye.

An increase of compensa‘ion was very neces- tary, but that increase sbould have been properly made, An annual salary as a member of Congress is not only undignified, but highly improper, when during tte two gaged in the public service half the time. Indeed, many members are not elected tor over eighteen mon hs, and Jet will receive two years’ salary.
