THE REBEL FORCE AT YORKTOWN.

Lee Magruder and Huger are all at York.
town. and that the National army cannot con.
quer them. But they admit that defeat

THE TAX BILL.
The Tax bill which passed the House with
but - dissenting votes, OF which one was
thrown by Republican (Mr. Buf6nton of
Mass and the others by Mr.. Vallandigham
and ii of tho 80 members of bis new Demo.
cratic party, is not expected to reach tho
Senate before Thursday, as the task Of en-
crossing so yoluminous bill is no slight one.
1t is believed by leading members Of the III.
nance Committee that few important amend.
ments will be adopted by them or by the Sen.
ate 1t is felt that bill of this character 10
one especially for the consideration OF
the popular branch; that at best its pro-
visions will be- matters of experiment, and
that to make radical changes would
be to postpone Indefinitely ITS hnai
passage. Some amendments, desired BY tho
was not thought best to go back IN the bill
while before the House to insert, will be made
aud doubtless some of the representative OF the
different interests affected who are already
beseging the Finance Committee will secure
notifications. The Committee may also present
amendments OF their own framing, but no i'm
portant alterations are likely to be made. and
no substitute is or will be proposed by the
Secretary OF the Treasury or from any other
quarter.

the masters to present their cases to tho Pfesi-
dent. 1t ia supposed that there is den hers
to which the kidnapping villains hurry their

considered The bill is now on the table Of
the Speaker of the House, from which it VIII
