lFrom the N. Y. Herald Jannary 5.j
OrHeral Tiionnis’ army is in motion.—
The sick and wounded have been sent to
Nashville, and preparations made lor an
active campaign. It is said tliat news of
General Thomas’ opeiHtious will hereaf
ter come from anew direc'ion. The
most of the ic-mnant of Hood s rebel
skmv was still north of the Tennesse;-
river, whi hi it was unable to cross, at a
vory renc.ut date.
Mr. Simeon Draper, Collector of this
port, sailed for Savannah yesterday, to
take charge,on behalf of the government,
of the cotton captured in that city. Col
onel Julian Allen arrived here yesterday,
in the capacity of agent of the Mayor
and Common. Council of Savannah, with
the permission of General Sherman, to
purchase supplies of food, to the value of
fifty thousand dollars, for the people of
that city, the poorer classes being in
much need of the most necessary arti
cles. The provisions are to be paid for
by the Savannah municipal authorities
by shipments of rice.
The decision of the Canadian court in
the case of the re-arrested St. Albans raid
ers is expected to be given in a few days*
when it is supposed that they will *be
discharged on the point now raised. In
that event they are to submit to a trial
ou the merits of the case. At a meeting
of the Montreal Common Council on
Tuesday night a resolution was adopted
censuring Chief of Police Lamotlie fer
Ills conduct in connection with the raid
ers, and accepting his resignation.
The Richmond Examiner and the Sen
tinel have recently been discussing the
question whether it would be better for
the rebels to submit to the national au
thorities of the United States or to be-!
come subjects of some strong Buropeau
Power. The Examiner says that the j
Sentinel's proposition to claim the pro- j
tection of England or France originated j
with Jeff Davis, and Lad its birth in a j
panicky mind.
Wasuinotoh, Jan. 4, 1.535.
. The question ns to the proper alspoal
tionofthe twenty-three thousand bale*
u cotton recently captured at Savannah,
and the additional supplies which maybe
(*Xl>ected to be gathered in Georgia and
else where, now engages the attention and
consideration of prominent officials. The
Ciirouiele recommends t)-o exportation
to Europe ot the cotton captured at Sa
vannah, aud estimat :s that a million of
bases, or more, may be obtain 'd within
the rebel lines. This policy, it states,

We malic the following extracts, iu

- SENATIC '
Various petitions from ofiicers of the
army and navy, asking for increased
compensation were pivsecGd by Messrs.
Foster, of Conn., and Wjl:;->n, which
wen*’ referred to the Mi diary and Naval
Committees.
Mr. Grimes, of Iow;g presented the
following resolution,which was adopted:
Rr..'t.>lred, That the Secretary of War
be directed to inform the Benat< th<
number of men enlisted in the naval s- r
vice of the United States that have been
credited on the military quotas of the
I several States, xud upon,what principles
| and in what raaimer, and upon what
evidence, such credits wer * made.
Mr. Foster offered u resolution, which
! was adopted, Instructing the Committee
•on Military At’airs to inquire into the
j expediency of reporting a bill to distrib
■ ute the prooeede «*!' the sale oi cotton,
' tkc., ixaptun and at Savannah among the
oflicers' and men of Shermans’ army,
same principle that naval prizes are
stributed among officers and men of the
; navy.
On motion of Mr. Sherman, the Pen
sion Appropriation bill was taken up.
A letter from the Secretary oft fie In
terior was read, recommending the sup
ply ot the deficiency in the appropria
tions under the acts of 1818 to 1853, $75,-
000, and under the acts of 1858 and 1802.
$3,500,000. During five months of the
present fiscal year $2,020,165 have been
drawn, leaving but $164,457 unexpended,
which will scarcely suffice for the ex
penditures to the middle of the present
month.
The bill was then passed.
Mr. Wilson called up a bill to perinii
aliens who have, served one year in the
army to become citizens of the United
States.
Mr. Sherman offered the following as
an amendment :
That no alien who had resided in the
United States for five years continuously
before !he PJ th of April, 1861, shall be
naturalized under the laws of the united
States after the Ist day of April, J 865,
anything in any act to the contrary i ot
withstanding.
Mr. Sherman explained the object ot
this amendment. There were a great
manv alien ain the United States who
would not become naturalized, so as to
keep from liability to military sen ice.
Pending the consideration of this sub
ject the Senate adjourned.
