Th ba By CONGRESSIONAL. re aie SENATE, yesterday, after our report closed— The Senate proceeded to the consideraticn of Mr. Wilson's joint resolution to make free the wives and children of slaves who enlist in the army of the United States. The question was upon the reference to the Judiciary Committee, moved by Mr. Davis. Mr. Wilson was in favor of the resolution passing withont delay, and after consideravie discussion by Messrs. Doolittle, Wilson, Sauls- bury and Sumner, the question Was, at the re- quest of Mr. Saulsbury, postponed for turther consideration, Mr. Wilson called up a bill to permit aliens who have served one year in the army to be- come 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 yeare continuously before the i9th of April, 1861, shall be naturalized under the laws of the United States after the first day of April, 1865, anything in any act to the con- trary notwithstanding. Mr. Sherman explained the object of this amendment. There were 4 great many aliens in the United States who would not pecome naturalized, so as to keep from liability to mil- itary service. Pending the consideration of this subject the Senate adjourned.

He also advoca- ted the proposed constitutional amendment abolishing slavery throughout the country. He said the issue was between disunion for the sake of slavery, and the abolition of slavery for the sake of the Union. Mr. Stevens said, although the President's message was brief, it treated of subjects of the utmost importanc®, not only to this nation, but the whole family of man © Ws not extray- agant when he declared it was the mostimport- antand best meseage ever communicated to Congress for the last sixty years. After some sharp discussion of the question the House adjourned. THE PHILADELPHIA CusTomM-HOUsE Ros- BERY —J. M. Allen, the cashier at the cnstom- house in Philadelphia, has been arrested on the charge of being concerned in the late abstraction of eighty thoneand dollars from the vaults of that institution. The Bulletin says: ‘The cashier is a brother-in-law to the Ool- lector of the Port. He was ied to the position several years since. ithin the last several months he has made a considerable amount of money in coil oil speculations, which enabled him to purehase & splendid house on Green street, above 15th, and furnish it to the extent of several chousand dollars. Fifteen thousand dollars, which belonged to him, and was stolen from the fire-proof, was the result of speculation in oi]. It seems that a number of the attaches of the custom -house have termed a coal oil company, Mr. Allen being the treas- urer thereof. 7A Portland reporter has no special spite againet that city, but he would be greatly pleased to see its streets laid in ashes without delay.
