xxxvIItb CONGRESS-second Session.
MONDAY, February q.

MONDAY, February "a.
SENArE.-After the reading of the Journal,
various memorials were presented and referred.
Mr.. Grimes introduced a bill authorizing the
Corporation Of Georgetown, ID. C, TO issue
$4,000 of their scrip in small notes; referred
Mr.. Wilson introduced a bill repeating the
operation Of the MARYLAND laws relating TO persons
OF color In the District Of Columbia; referred.
The joint resolution TO contract with certain
railroads in Missouri for military transportations
WIS taken up and discussed by Messrs Hale and
Pomeroy, the former against and the latter for IT,
adoption.
House M r. Conkling offered a resolution
rendering the thanks OF Congress to Generals
Halleck and Grant for the victories planned and
executed by them in their respective divisions.
In explanation Of his resolution, Mr.. Conkling
said he desired to have the country know who
deserved the credit for the late victories in the
West, and that the thanks Of Congress should be
given to those who were directly the authors OF
our successes, instead Of to those who IL wal
assumed had planned them at a distance
Messrs. Cox and Kellogg opposed the spirit and
exclusveness of the resolution, taking the ground
that credit was due principally 10 the Commander
in-Chief of the army, to the skill of whose plans
the victories were due
The resolution was referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THE SURRENDER OK NASHVILLE.


The news Of the surrender Of Nashville, which
comes to Us via Richmond to-day, hnds credence
in military circles.
Ills known here that our feet OF mortar boats,
gunboats, transports carrying troops, &c, 70
which Clarksville was surrendered without firing
a shot, were to proceed up the river to as neal
Nashville as they might be able to get.
The state ofthe river was such as that, II meet
ing no serious military obstacles they could soon
lay that city in ashes. The nearest point to Nash
Vile, from which we have telegraphic communi-
cation to Washington, is Bowling Green-per-
haps hundred miles from Nashville.
II is very possible that we could not have heard
through the Union means Of communication,
from our feet and army that went up as far as
Nashville, as late by two or three days as can be
heard via Richmond and Fortress Monroe

quarters OF portion of the Provost Guard, corner

effect.

Colored lights were displayed from the Signal

on the street, with transparencies, torches, Chi

hugely.
As the preparations for the illumination Of the
Patent and Post once Ofnces, the State Depart
ment, the Navy Yard, and many other public
buildings, as well a. private residences and
hotels, are on a very extensive scale, we suggest
an extra head of gas this week, 90 as to prevent
any disappointment by a scarcity Of the illumi-
mating agent on any night which may be fixed
for the display.

Of this feeble tribute to the memory Of the great

his Country, were portrayed with a mastery

great attention by an admiring and numerous

Client town never be extinguished by the lurid
