From. Washington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--The Conference
committee on the Treasury note bill made re.
port yesterday, recommending that both
Houses OF Congress recede from portion OF
their amendments. The report was concuFred
in by both Houses and the bill passed.
The reports which have been circulated Of
the evacuation by the rebels Of Manassas, are
not credited. The Star has reliable informa-
tion to tho effect that no considerable force OF
the rebels has left their position at or In font
of Manatsis. Many OF their re-enlisted men
having been furloughed for sixty days, to ena
BILE them to witt their homes, have departed.
As they filed q number OF trains for several
days, it was runored that they we're going
away by regiments. 10
1t Ia stated that Secretary Stanton has grant
ed fntlough of thirty days to the returned
prisoners from Richmond, that they may visit
their families and friends.
The rumored resignation of Judge Wilnot OF
Penn, is without any foundation. t.
IL is very evident, from circumstances, that
Gen. Smiths division, to which the Pennsylvs-
mia reserves under Gen. Mccall are attached,
will soon be encamped at Centreville,
Petitions are being freely circulated in favor
of making Gen. Burnside Major General
From reconnoissances made, it lie apparent
that the rebels are concentrating large force
en- the hills opposite General HOoker's di
vision.

HANGING OF WILLIAM B. MUxFoRD N NEw
ORLEASs--This morning at an early hour g
large crowd, amounting 10 many thousands,
assembled on the north front of the Mint to
witness the execution of Mumford, the man
who was condemned By the Military Commis-
son to be hanged for tearing down the United
States flag. on the oath of April last. About
10 O'Clock the procession that conducted the
prisoner to the gallows came in view. 1t con-
sisted of a squadron of cavalry in the van,
comprising about two hundred men. Next
came the condemned, on an army wagon, &C
companied only by an officer of the United
States. He refused TO be attended by a cler-
gyman, and as he passed through the vast
crowd, sitting on his coffin. bis countenance
oaly expressed the frmneSs of despair.
Arrived at the Mint, he ascended the plat
form and made a speech. The crowd looked
on very quietly, and no demonstration Of any
kind was made. Many were OF the opinion
that the execution would not take place, but
that the clemency Of the commanding General
would be manifested 10 pardon, and large
number cung to this belief to the last moment.
At precisely ten minutes before eleven O'Clock
the cord was cut, the drop fell with a heavy
thud, and all that was mortal of William B.
Mumford dangled between earth and Heaven.
