NEWS FROM WASHINOTON.
WASHIjrOTOK, uar 3,i?ea.
THK NATIONAL TAX BILL.
The Senate 1 inance Committee are making such ?l"w
progress in their tinkering ui>ou the Tax bill, that it will
probably be reported without material umealment
Upon soma of the moat iui| ortant alterations pr?i*>sud
the committee, in the abseuce of one of Its members, is
at a dead lock, and consequently the amendments
fail. An effort will be made in the Senate to sub.
stitute an almost totally different scheme of raisiug
revenue. The objection principally urged against the
House bill is, that it embraces too many subjects of
taxation, and renders the collection of the lax infinitely
more complicated than is necessary. A general desire
is manifested for the simpliilcatiou of the system, and
consequent reduction of the number of tax gatherers re
quired to execute it.
VISIT OF THB PRESIDENT AND MRS. LINCOLN TO THK
NAVY YAKD.
The President and Mrs. Lincoln visited the Navy Yard
this afternoon, to witness some Interesting trials of a
breech-loading cannon, invented and patented by parties
in Cincinnati. A large number of ladies and gontleinen,
including several members or Congress, were present.
The first discharge of the piece interrupted one of the
President's stories, aftor which the experiments pro
ceeded in a satisfactory manner. At the first trial three
shots were fired so rapidly that the first struck the water
Just as the last one left the gun.
OBNBBAL ABKRCROMBIB REMOVED FROM COWANS
AT WARRXMTOM JUNCTION.
General Abercrembie, lately in command of the troop*
at Warren ton Junetion, ha* been ordered to report a^
Fortress Monroe, and General Hart Buff suecoods him.
Pome persons here are surprised at the change; but the
truth is,that bitter complaints have been made by the
officers and soldiers stationed at Warrenton Junction
against Genoral Abercromble, that he has regacded the
protection of the secessionists In that neighbor
hood more than the comfort and health of hU own
troops. It la alleged that, while our soldiors wero with*
out fresh provisions, and living on scant ra
tions, in a swampy, unhealthy locality, they
were mado togcard rebel property, instead of con.
flucatliig articles fnecoggary for their comfort und
health. A rob?l cavalry captain, whom thoy captured in
his bed with his uniform lying by his side, his commit.
Bion being in his coat pocket, was released. These things
may have caused General Aliercrombie to be sent to
Fortress Mouroo, where there is a Retiring Board.

He succeeded in deceiving Chevalier Hulfemunn and all

The weather to-day Is moro like the lnt of March than
anything else that I can ounipare it to. A oold northeast
wind blows off the bay, aocompanlod with a drenching
rain. It has become a in Uter of considerable doubt
whether there Is ever any clear weather in this poor,
miserable section of the Union. Tlie troops httvo com*
meoced to look upon It as a ''inaller of course," and con
sequently to be expected.
The Provost Marshal set to work yeslerdaf and cap
tured all the "dugouts" and Bklflb belonging to the origi
nal Inh ibitants of this place. For some some time past
they htivo been suspccted of giving information to the
enomy, through the medium ol' these auxiliaries, and
a few evenings slnco a skiff, containing two m o, In a
(logout, was soeu endeavoi ing to pass our tine of pick-t
boats; they were immediately taken to headquarters,
and, on l>oius< questioned us to their objcct Ingoing fo far
out, said that they "wore looking around." As the
Marshal could not see any particular reason for their
"looking around," their crait was confiscated, and the
men sent homo, with u strict injunction to remain theie.
They are rery strong Union people (f).
The reb'-ls have long boosted of their crack shoot
ing, but since tho arrival of a ro^imoat wo
meet them on tlicir own ground in rosjioct to sharp
>.h ooting. YePtorday one of our pickets observed i.ne of
ihu uuouiy s pickets mount into tho branches of a tree
ji.st ut.->i!e of Thoir lines, and, all er comfortably sc ding
liiiusoli, cooily pot his glass to his oyo and cointn' need
la .ing a pr. spi'cuvo vie* of our winks. This was very
we.I. but it vv s >i slurt duration. Tho pickot who had
be >.i watchi g tho gentlvmaa's movements, brought his
ritlo to bear upon liiru.iind in a moment tho sightseer
led headlong to the ground, und, niter a tinio, w.is
carried off by h:s companions. The exporimout was not

Heavy musketry and cannonading wore heard near
Yorktown last night. The United Mtato* tpuab ml* Se

they are termed, are mure snails, compared to the new

rotten, hard to tnauage, and altogether worthless for war
purposes.
The secretory of War's recent order forbidding persons
visiting the Army of tho Potomac out of mere cunueity
was looked upon nt llrst ?? apropos; but it seems there
Is a I nk somewhere, judging by tho h mdreds
of curiositv seekers ttist daily arrive \ is ital
timore. They uro a positive nuisance to the
operations of I lie army; they havo no busluosj here
whatever, and unites no pretence whatever should they
be tolerated. The Hull run pauio was croatod by camp
full 'wers ami foolish t'ungro :.sinen;our ox|H>rlence in that

Lioutouant Colonel HalllJay, of tho Ninety .ninth New
York rOKlment, ha*been removed from the ooramandof
Fort Wool, and Major Nixon, of the saiuejrogimeut, has
?ucc sided him. Ihe cause nf this change Is known only
to those who efleeled It. I.ieuteu.iat Colonel Hallidny,
while in command of the fort, discharged his duties ? ,th
sn Impartiality, akill and snergy that can lie sui |<assed
by uo ollicer lu this department. He is a gradual* of the
J'oly technic school ef Prussia, and as an urtillei isi has no
superior la the Department of Virginia. His withdrawal
from the command of Kort Wool is looked upon as a most
Inopportune step st this particular time.
A New York regiment, recently informing garr'eon
duty in the fortreee, were peremptorily ordered to quit
the fort and go into oamp. It is alleged that their offei. e
was the love of strong drink. A few nights ago the guard
broke into the Ordnance Department store and stole two
barrels of whiskey, upon which they got beastly drunk.
Hence their pronpt dismissal by tieu. Wool.
Brigadier General Clarence Seward, nephew of the Se
cretary of State, and dr. Venderpoel, Surgeon General of
New York (Hate, arrived here to-day from Baltimore.
They departed this afternoon fer Oamp Scott, near York
town. The object of thoir visit, I learn, Is to look after
tho Interests of tho soldiers from tho Kmuire State.
Tho soldiers ef the entire Army of the Potomac aro
being paid off Those vulturoo of tho army, Ihe sutlers,
by tho sales of their trashy articles, are robbing the sol
diers out of thslr pay as soon as they receive it by their
extortionate prices. Why do not Congress put a stop to
this legalised system of robbery? By so doing they will
lessen tho mortality and sickneso or the army twenty
five per cent, and cause the hard earnings of our patri
otic soldiers to go into the right channels, vis.: their fa
mule*; whereat, under the present the soldisrs'
money tt grssped by tho sutler, and that, to.), while Mteir
families at home beg for bread or are sent to M?e parish
