Ties near the Appomattox. Desertions from the rebel army have been quite numerous for some nights, no less than 25 coming within our lines on Wednesday morning. They present the usual appearanca, dirty, ragged and hungry: their first question most always being— Where can we get ra- tions?” A severe storm commenced Tuesday night, which threatened to continue some time. { Gens.

French, of the U.S. ship Ino, writing from on | board that vesselin Tampa Bay, under date | of January 3ist, to the Navy Department, re- ports that having received information from reiiable persons that a certain rebel agent, re- siding on the Maneter river, had government stores on his premises, he (French) proceeded on board the tender Ariei and one armed | bot t's crew up the Maneter river with the de- sign also to destroy a small salt work. At the mouth of said river he captured a beat loaded | with cotton, which was the property ofa rebel army officer named Maloney. After the cap- ture of the boat Lieut. French proceeded to the residence of aman called McNeal, who being | absent, his premises were searched andtwelve | barrels of sugar found, which McNeal’s wife affirmed belonged to the rebel government. ‘The sugar was brought off and taken on board the Ino.

Farwell, Nye, Howe, Chan- dler, Collamer, Howard, Richardson, Stewart, Conness, Pomeroy, Jobnson, Willey, and Hen- derson, numbering twenty in all. At the State dinner on Monday evening last, ovly those Senators were present whose wives were in the city, andon this occasion all those Sena- tors who weie sot comprised in the first party were invited, which will account for no lady | but Mrs. Lincoln being present last night. As the guesis arrived they were received in | the parlors, and a few moments after seven o'clock dinner was announced, when the | party retired to the banquet hall, Mrs. Lincoln | leading off under the escort of Senator Chand- ler, who was awarded the seat of honor at the table on her right, and Seaator Conness on her left. Mrs. Lincoln occupied a seat at the cen- | ter of the table, the President facing her on the opposite side, with Senator Nesmith on his | right, and Senator Wilkinson on his left. Uapt- Robt. Lincoin, who was present, sat at the end of the table. Mrs. Lincoln, who presided with distin- guished grace, was attired in a beautiful white and black spotted silk, tastefully trimmed with black lace, with an appropriate head- dress and jet jewelry. The dinner by Jacobs, the French caterers was & most elegant one, aud the table was very tastefully arranged. In the center of the table and at either end were placed vases of choice flowers, (from the President's green house, and arranged by Mr. George McLeod.) the tragrance of which filled the banquet hail | with «rich odor. The evening passed rapidly, and it was half- past pine before the guests retired from the dinner table. After a short time spent in social intercourse in the parlors the party separated, The entertainment was one of the finest that | has ever taken place at the White House. CarrurEy CoTron.—The cotton fleet of | about thirty vessels has arrived at New York from Savannah. The plan of delivering the cotton in New York or Brooklyh has been abandoned, and the cargoes are to be landed at the old quarantine on Staten Island, and stored | in the Government buildings at that place. The cotton will be caretully guarded, and for the purpose of rendering it perfectly secure against the operations of rebels or rebel sympa- thizers who might try to burn it, an armed cutter will lie off the storehouses untii the car- goes are disposed of. The cotton will be sold | by samples; butitis understood that some com- lisa questions will arise which may delay the sale. CHANGE OF QUARTERMASTERS.—Colonel R. CU.

THE MOVEMENT UPON RALEIGH. ‘The Richmond papers, in commenting upon what they designate as the “startling intelli- gence,” that a Union force, estimated at 20,000 men kas landed at Newbern for an advancs upon Raleigh, think that Grant's visit to New- bern lately was to plan and arrange tnis ex- pedition. Newbern is near the month of the Nease River, about one hundred and ten miles south- east of Raleigh. MORE REBEL DESERTERS. Fifty rebel deserters, who came up on the boat yesterday from Oity Point to Annapolis, arrived here this morning.

Mr. Willey presented the credentials of Jeseph Segar as a Senator elect from the State of Vir- ginia, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Bowdin, which occurred last winter. Mr. Sumner moved to refer the credentials to the Committee on the Judiciary. On this motion an animated debate arose, Mr. Willey holding that there was no more reason why Mr. Segar’s credentials shouid be so referred than those of his predecessors. Messrs. Cowan and Foster also opposed the reference as unnecessary. Mr. Trumbull held that the Judiciary Com- mittee should have the opportunity to decide whether these credentials came from a proper legislative body. ig Mr. Howard was entirely opposed even to the reception of such credentials. The State of Virginia was at war with the United States, and should not be admitted to representation here no more than South Carolina. Mr. Wilson held that the policy had hereto- fore been determined on this subject by the presence here of Senators and Representatives from Virgina. Mr. Willey said the loyal people of Virginia Were waiting anxiously the decision of this question. The Legislature which elected Mr. Segar represented over 200,000 loyal people, and that Legislature and that State government had been recognized by the United States, and the fact of the adoption of the amendment of the Constitution tor abolishing slavery com- municated officially to it. Oongress should sustain the loyal people in the States which had rebelled, instead of discouraging them. Mr. Sherman remarked upon the fact that these credentials showed that Mr. Segar had been elected Senator in Decmeber last, yet he had never presented them here till this late period of the sgssion. Without reference, there- fore, to the Merits ef the question, he moved to lay the credentials on the table, in erder not to delay with debate. Tbe motion to lay on the table was carried— 29 to 13. Hovss —Mr. Dawes, from the Committee of Elections, made @ report, accompanied by a resolution in favor of admitting A. P. Field as @ representative from the second, and Mr. Mann from the third Congressional District of Louisiana. [A report was previously made from the same committee in fayor of Mr. Bo- zano, as & representative from the first district of that State.] Mr. Dawes also reported a resolution to ad- mit Messrs. Jack ank Jehnson, as representa- tives from Arkansas—the former from the first, and the latter from third Congressional District of that State. These reports were laid over, and will be taken up for consideration in a day or two. The House passed the Senate bill relieving Mejor Brigham, a paymaster, from the respon- sibility of two thousand dollars. The facts appear to be, that the Major, in 1862, drewa check on the Assistant Treasurer at New York for $38,505, but on counting the several pack- ages there was a deficiency of $2,000, for which he had to draw a check. Some time was consumed in the consideration of private bills. The House resolved itself into a Committtee of the Whole on the state of the Union, on the amendatory internal revenne bill. The amendment pending was offered last night by Mr. Boutwell to tax gales one-half of one per cent. to be collected monthly. Mr. Griswold briefly expressed his views on the subject of taxation, expressing the wish that some equitable indirect tax would be stonted in preference to the present oppressive mode. Mr. Merrill replied the subject of income taxes and taxes on siles had -occupied the at- tention of the Committee of Ways and Means, snd he then opposed the pending amendment to tax sales. Mr. Jypes C. Allen also opposed the amend- ment, af it woujd impose a heavy burden on the consumers. wa The great trotting match in Paris, be- tween the American horse “Shepherd,” ‘a: oe bait ener ome prees resulted in victory for the American h a hundred yards.

From the Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday.| Notwithstanding the sale of gold by the Sec- retary of the Treasury atone time brought gold from 70 down to 45, ithas again gone up to 60 and 65, and that, too, upon sales made on Gov- nment account. Notwithstanding the amount of Treasury notes was reduced by shaving off the one-third, prices went up, and instead of money becoming more valuable by its scarcity, the new notes bring less than the old did. Notwithstanding Mr. Trenholm holds six per cent. non-taxable bonds at 136, he cannot sell them ats). Here. we have three important facts, which it will do well for Congress to consider. Gold is still rising and carrying up the prices of all other commodities. Shut it out from our eyes as we may, gold is the standard which measures our currency, and daily as gold rises, the purchasing value of our notes falls. Notwithstanding the re- duction of the currency by shaving off one- third, prices have risen, notes have fallen, and the Treasury isempty. Six per cent. non-tax- able bonds would go out, and the Treasary has no money to pay its debts. Mr. Lincoln’s Acceunt of the Peace Con- ference. {From Richmond Sentinel of Tussday.] Tbe report of Mr. Lincoln to his Congress relative to the late Peace Conference, fills up space to-day which we had otherwise appro- priated, but we defer to the natural wish of our readers to see the Federal version of the late negotiations. The Yankee papers from which we quote applaud the part played by the Washington officials, because of the haugh- tiness of the terms they proposed. In this, and in the terms of the correspondence, the reader willsee with what sincere effort our agents sought to give peace to the land, and how Mr. Lincoln has again written himself guilty of the blood of his own people and of ours. The Negro Soldier Bills. (From Jeff. Davis’ Organ, the Sentine] | The bills introduced into the Senate and House by Messrs. Oldham and Barksdale re- spectively, and both of which we published yesterday, contemplate a voluntary, instead of acompulsory enlistment of a portion of our domestics in the military service. This vol- untary feature must obviate in @ great part. if not, indeed, altogether the principal objections which have been raised to seeking a military resource in that portion of our population. Op- position may now most probably be expected to come from the other directions, and to be addressed more to the efficiency than to the policy of the scheme. . But as those who propose it say there are many facts which encourage bright anticipa- tons of success, and, as itis, perhaps, the most feusible compromise or experiment which can be adopted in the present conflict of opinions and prejudices, we hope it will be agreed upon. Toe chiet objection to itis the possibility that itmay not eflect much good. It should be a recommendation that atthe worst it can do litle harm. One great merit of the proposi- tions is, that they confine themselves to gener- al provisions, and leave the details open for snch adjustment as tact shail suggest or neces- sity teach.

He also stated that he did not think the pistol would killa man asit was the smallest kind made.

Commissioners, — The” Affairs in Georgetown. THE MAYORALTY —As the ny of election Approsches, the voters are growinginterested in the resnit. Last night the friends of the op- posing candidates held meetings to disonss the merits of their favorites. The triendsof Geo. Hill, Jr., met in the Custom House, and to in- spire the assemblage and attract persons to thr hall a military band of the V. R. C. was in at- tendance. The meeting was called to order by Mr. L. L. Clements, and Mr. Levi Davis was elected President. Speeches Jandatory of Mr HRili were ore by ae Cragin, Messrs. Deebie, Siernan and Tippett. Khe friends uP Henry Addison, Esq., the present incumbent, , metin the hall corner of Gay and High streets, where the fine band from Fort Reno added to the interest by its ex- cellent music. Atthis meeting Colonel Willett presided, aud stated the object of the meeting in afew appropriate remarks. The speakers here were of various politics, but were ready to lay aside politics and fully endorse Mayor Addisen’s course during the twenty years of his service as Mayor. They declared their readiness to vote for him at the next@ection as the best they can get. Among the speakers were Messrs. J. T. Whitehall, Jos. Semmes, W. H. Craig, Capt. J. Goddard, John M. Stake and Mayor Addison. Mr. James Goddard, on being introduced, announced himself as a life-long Democrat, yet as ready to vote for Mr. Addison, who he believed to be the best man for the responsible position of Mayor. Mr. John M. Stake said that, besides heart- ily sustaining our tried and trasted function- ary, something more should be done—a clean sweep should be made of those now belonging to the city conneil, for without co operative action on the part of the council the victory to be achieved would indeed be « barren one. Mr. Addison occupied about a half an hourin the delivery of his remarks, and caused much applause and Isughter by the many effective and humorous points whicli hemade. Hesaid that he had for twenty years presided over the town, and had, to the bestof his ability, dis- charged his duties with a single eye to the wellare of the community. He was rather severe on all secret political associations, and remarked that he would never again attach himself to one, for no lasting good could come of their proceedings; nor would he, in the remotest way, do anything tocurry fayor with them. Mr. Joseph Semmes said he had not voted for three or tour years; bunt he was now resolved to yote for Mayor Addison’s re-election, even though he should be sworn from where he stood to either bridge. Mr. W.H. Craig, on presenting himself, re- marked that the presence of the venerable Col. Willett there was all-sufficient evidence of the gathering. He then dwelt at length on the various merits of the present incumbent of the mayoralty, giving him warm commendation for his qualities of head and heart.
