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, w > ild transfer the balance of trade and con “sj of exchange to this country, and t um the tide of tile pr. clous met da in this direction. General MeCallum, Director and; Gen eral Manager of Military Railroads, Ims hK.*t*ri ordered to despatch a ;>i vj ofolli cers and operatives to tak * ebarg*? ofHlie railroad stock and property captured at Savannah, and, in conjunction xvith the odieers of the Quartermaster's Depart ment in the Department of the South, make all arrangem uts necessary lor iiiei/efiicient repair and use in the opera tions in South Carolina and Georgia. CONGRESS iu Eqrard to the Army. We malic the following extracts, iu tereUmg to the Army, from the report ot the Jjie.xv - 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. noua». Mr. Wilson, of lowa, introduced a liif to increase the commutation value of rations at general and post hospitals. This wan • : rred to the Committee on Militaiy Atk.ira. Mr. lb iii-, of M i., : sked leave to in troduce tlm following r -solution, but Mr. Cox, of Ohio, objected.
