THOMAS, essee—Hi t era na. ebe. ‘reatme: Oiticers. mt ef Union CINCINNATI, Jan, $.— atches fi x lumbia, Tennessee, to the ad insane. laavecee room to doubt that Hood has crossed the Ten. nessee river. The contradictory reports arose from the fact that Forrest an@ a brizade of infantry lingered on the north side to cover the retreat. Hood crossed at Long’s Ferry, fiye miles above Florence, Alabama, where the water is niet and only three-fourths of a mile wide, ome portion crossed at Uheatham’s Ferry. below Florence. On the ist inst., General Steadman reported himeelf at Courtland, midway between Flor- ence and Decatur, and was in close pursuit of Hood's pon toon train. General Thomas, accompanied by his whole staff and escort, is going to Nashville. They left Pulaski on the 2d. There are three bridges yet tocomplete before the cars will reach Co- lumbia. General Dana reports that he has cut the Mo- bile and Obio railroad south of Corinth. A captured rebel lieutenant states that offi- cial statements says Hood lost at Nashville sizty-three cannon; between Nashville and Franklin, three; at Duck Run, six;and at Mur- treesboro, two. Captain Fitch, belonging to one of our col- ored regiments, has escaped from the rebels. He and two other officers of the same regiment were captured by Forrest's men, and, because they gave trouble in marching, were ordered to be shot. Two were killed, and Fitch was left for dead and got away. In Burbridge’s raid two millions jin repel funds, \inthe hands of a paymaster, fel! into our hands at Bristol.

New York, Jan. 5.—The committee appoint- ed by the Chamber of Commeree to report on the communication from the merchants of Bahia, Brazil, relative to the seizure of the pirate Florida, which requested the merchants of New York to suspend giving any reward to the captors of the Florida, made a report to- day. ‘hey state that the signers of the com- munication are allied to the British rebel in- terests, and the committee recommend that the thanks of the Chamber of Commerce be ten- dered to Captain Collins, of the gunboat Wachuse't, for his courage and conduct in generously subjecting Mimself to the risk of censure and loss of commi-sion in order to rid the seas of & scourge, and our ecommerce of an incendiary foe. A motion was made to send a copy of the report to the merchants of Bahia, but objection was made that the merchants of New York should take no further notice of the factors of British pirates, and the motion was not put. New York, Jan. 5.—South American dates to the 13th ult. have been received. There is no important political news. Business is affected at Valparaiso by the un- satisfactory relations with Spain. The bill has been approved toraise a loan of $3,0C0 000. The Spanish-Pernyian equestion is un- changed. Admiral Pareja has taken possession of the Spanish squadron ¢ Chincha Islands. The recall of Admiral Pinzon was regarded as a more favorable policy toward Pera. The bar at Greytown has closed up the channel so that small river steamers cannot get ont. The United States steamer Lancaster, with Admiral Pearson on board, sailed for Callao on the 7th, from Panama. The sloop-of-war St. Mary’s was at Panama on the 27th ult. An-Appeat from Savannah—The old Fiag again Cheered, New York, Jan. 5.—Col. Allen stated to the Chamber of Commerce to-day that he had been Q] inted by the people of Savannah to buy f for the sufferers. He had no rice or cotton to sell, and was prepared to buy what he could, and receive such contributions ag the merchants and people of New York saw fit toextend to the loyal citizens of Savaunah. He stated that at a meeting of the citizens res- clntions were received with three times three cheers for the Union and President Lincol and they were ail in favor of the old fag which had ruled over them.

Commer- cial says: The market shows none of the improvement that was expected at the opening of the new year. Money is more stringent than was ex- pected after the payment of probably flve mil- ions im dividends, and the stock market is vacillating ard weak, with no disposition areong brokers to promoteany vigorous speon- lative movements. The orders trom outside parties for stocks are quite nominal, while for Governments there is a steady flow of orders from all parts of the country. This morning there was an active specuia. Uve movement m gold bearing bonds, aod prices were generally stronger. Sixes of 1=S} 20's advanced an 4, and 10.410's 1 price of 10-40’s being still be- low the subscription price, there are. but few subscriptions being enteréd for the stock, and the prespect is that on the 7th it will be found that 70,000,600 to 75,000,000 of the loan willremain untaken. One Year Certiticates sold at 67%; with but little demand, The gold marketopened fla: and lower under the generally lavoréble aspect of the military news. The intelligence from General Thomas especially “bears” the market, and the “bull” movement of yesterday is effectually checked.

THE Dutce Gav Canal.—A correspondent ef the Philadelphia Inquirer, after giving a full description of the work oa General But- ler’s Dutch Gap Cavai and the blowing out of tbe bulkhead, remarks as follows: “The natural inquiry of the public mind now will be as to the effect of the compleuon of the canal, Weil, however eminently ‘suc- cessful it may prove, it, of course, will not enable us to steam straight up to Richmond with our monitors. Twenty rebel cavnon bear directly on its upper end, and the river above was barred with obstructions, and its channel thickly sown with torpedoes. Incidentally these obstructions have done us one service in preventing the rebel gunboats from coming down below the left flank of our line north of the James, as they were able before the ex- pected opening of the canal compelled the enemy to obsiruct the river. There is abun- dance of work to do above the Gap before our gunboats can proceed much higher, but there are doubtless means by which this work can be accomplished, and the advantage of being able to commence hostile operatioas above. in. stead of being obliged to commence six miles below is self-evident.” s@-Tho jury in the Brooklyn lunacy case after being Jocked up all night, Tuesday morn- ing rendered & verdict im favor of the plaintiff, and assessed damages at six- cents. {0 The State Board of Agricultnre and In- diana State Horticultural Society are in session in Indianapolis, ind. ®7 About 2,000 rebel prisoners arrives at Co- femphets Ohio, from, Tennessee, on Tuesday W7-The colored citizens of Indianapolis, Ind. celebratedthe anniversary of the emancipation proclamation on the 3d. 7 ; "w7-The Ohio Sorgho and wool convention met in Cincinnati on the 3d- ay, BeThe Lllinois State Registet'has resumed publication. + Poe. z dattery; NEWS FROM REBEL SOURCE. ch stem Dai The Richmond papers of January 4 contain the follawing dispatches: ‘ m Gen, regard. “The following official dispatch from Gen") HKeauregard was received yesterday by the War Department: “ CHARLESTON, 8. © , Jan. 2.—The Federal raiders are Tepoeied to have returned from the Mobile and io inate page oh westward.

Sg pew a © Mr. Wilson called up a bill to permit aliens who have served one year in the arury te be- come citizens of the United States. Mr. Sherman offered the following as an amendment: That no alien who had resided in the Unitea States for five years continuously before the isth of April, 1861, shall be naturalized onder the laws of the United States after the first day of April, 1865, anything in any act to the con- trary notwiths'anding. Mr. Sherman explained the object of this amendment. There were & great many aliens in the United States who would not become naturalized, so as to keep from liability to mil- itary service. ening the consideration of this snbyect the Senate adjourned.
