NEW YORK, Jan. 81.
The Worlds Port Royal correspond
ence of the 18th says: Ere this letter
reaches New York, Sherman grand army
will be on the move, and We will soon hear
of the Stars and Stripes floating over more
conquered rebel cities.
A brother of General Hardee and others
having made claim to the cotton in Ssvsn-
nah, General Sherman gave them writ
ten reply, in which he said: The cotton
ought to go into the hands Of the general
Government, which he said could never
be Unidentified for the blood and treasure
required to reclaim possession of Savan-
nah. This was his opinion, still they
might go to Washington and try to have
the decision reversed.
The Times Savannah correspondent
says: At this writing the left wing of
Shermsn's army is moving from Savannah
on line which the enemy may possibly
ascertain for himself It is thought that
the rebels will make stand st the Ashs-
poo river, thirty miles south of Charleston,
and then fall back on that city. They
have not the men nor the stamina to stand
against Sherman's magnificent army.
The Times Washington special says the
Cabinet was in session several hours yester-
day, it was supposed, on Blsir's mission to
Richmond.

The opinion of the Solicitor Of the War
Department, published last August is re-
producsd semi-oficially, as applicable to
quotas under the present enrolment for
900 600 men to supply deficiencies under
former calls. In that opinion the Solicitor
said if the number Of men were taken Into
consideration, and not their service, 1t Is
clear that the grossest inequality would ex-
ist in the respective contributions by the
different districts to the aggregate military
service of the country, and that at each
successive call all accounts OF service pre-
ceding that call are made up, and that the
call for quotas should be such as shall
eouslize the amount of service required
from each district, in proportion to the
number Of persons therein liable to mill
tary service That district which in the
present draft furnishes one year men cuts
IN It's burden into three parts, and Shout
ders only one part at the present time,
leasing the rest to be met at the next call.
4 That the district which furnishes three
years men now gains at once, IN Its &C
count with the Provost Marshal General,
the same benefit on the quota of the next
Qr6lb rs LQOuB4 II Adu AAAAASAON e-A@S
times as many men for one years service.
It is the duty of each district to furnish the
number of men designated as its quota.
These men should be received whether for
one, two or three years. Those districts
which furnish three years men now will pc
entitled to the full benefits thereof on all
future calls.
The House Committee on Naval Affairs
has accumulated and is still gathering
large amount of testimony relative to the
frauds and abuses under the laws for the
collection snd purchase Of cotton and other
products of the iDsurrectionary States and
will doubtless report bill for correction
of the disloyal and illegal practice of mer-
cenary speculations.
Fifteen thousand dollars worth of new
three cent currency will be isued from the
Treasury tomorrow. About half tbst
amount will be put into circulation.

States is impractieable and that peace
movements on the part of individual
States tend only to the creation of discord
| in the COnfederacY. he saws that the only
plan by which peace can be obtained is
provided for in the rebel Constitution. He
does not say what his plan is, but proceeds
at length to show that all propositions
looking to conventions and negotiations
are futile That the United States viii
not negotiate, and that they will only
accept 8 surrender which the rebel States
cannot and will not grant.

JEFF. DAVIS on THE PRACE QUESTION.
In his letter to the Georgia Senators JEFF
Davis makes strong argument against
separate State action the ground that false
ideas would be disseminated. That some
of the States desired to abandon their asso-
ciates, and so weaken the spirit of mutual
confidence and support. He says 1t is OBJ
vious that associated in convention they
must meet on the basis that no State should,
against its own will, be bound by the decis-
ion of a convention, or that it should be so
bound. In the former case the independ-
enee of the South would be virtually recog-
nized. In the latter case the South would
dominate. Another difficulty would arise
/ from conflict Of jurisdiction,

that the United States would not consent
that West Virginia be deprived of her priv
ilegc of equal rights, after having formally

The World, in an editorial on JEFF Davis
letter, thinks peace is possible, but sees
nothing favorable in Davis letter. If the
terms offered by the United States should
be Just, liberal and magnsnimous their re-
lection by the rebels would be perilous.
Davis evidently invites such propositions
from Lincoln as will unite the Southern
people in desperate struggle.
The Columbia OGrolfnian said two weeks
ago: We think Wilmington and Charleston
in no danger. It would not have been thus
if the Federal armada had taken Fort Fish

Columbia and Augusta would have had
nothing to fear, Charleston would have
fallen. and Weldon would have been in the
enemy's hands in few days.
