special says:
General Halleck's commissioners appointed
to visit the Fort Donelson prisoners at Chicago
had reported the names OF one thousand rebels AS
adverse to taking the oath of allegiance, but
Schuyler Colfax protested against their release
on these terms or any Other terms and the Pres
ident revoked the commission and prohibited the
discharge OF any more rebels.
The Worlds special says:
An individual named Pollock reached here to-
day, having come from Culpepper county, Vlr
ginia, near where the rebel army now lies. He is
known in Washington reliable and intelligent
man.
Mr. Pollock states that in the vicinity from
which he came there is local instruction among
the white people, who bitter in opposition TO
the rule of jeff. Davis.
The people he says feel that the rebel cause is
hopelessy lost since the retreat from their strong
hold at Manassas.
The rebel defeat at Winchester has depressed
them though every effort has been made to con
ceal the bad news from the public and that por-
ton OF the army which were not engaged in the
fight.
He doubts whether the rebels will have the
pluck TO make a stai.d at Gordonsyille if they are
attacked.
The Herdld's special says:
Potomac and Chesapeake Bay were drawn in by
Gen. Hooker.
The rebel sy mpathisers in lower Maryland took
this as an intimation that the United States forces
were about to leave and Immediately commenced
to send their slaves to Virginia tor the rebel
vice.
This perfidity did not escape the vigilance of
the General and he Immediately ordered the
rest of six or eight ringle leaders who are among
no rpo min cft of that cactiOu of
Maryland.
They will be handed over to the authorities at
Washington with the evidence against them,
which is said to be of the most conclusive char
acter.

The amendments made thus far to the tax bill
are not decisive, but merely the action of the
Committee of the Whole, the House having
finally to act on them.
1t is believed Congress will, in conformity with
the bill proposed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, increase the tax OH tobacco, whisky and
other luxuries
The hasty clause taxing the stock of whisky
now in the hands of dealers will probably be
considered. The BILL with this clause stricken
out, will be uniform and more acceptable.
A dispatch received here to night from Cairo
gives the latest news from Island No 10.
The main works of the enemy On the main
land were overhowed. This delays effective ope-
rations by our forces
The causes which prevented a safe conveyance
of the mails and the collection of revenues upon
the route from Jefferson City to Tucaimbia hav
ing been removed, the Postmaster General has
ordered the restoration of full mail service there
on.
The bill to secure to the officers and men &C
tually employed in the Western Department or
Department OF Missouri their pay, bounty and
pensions, is now law.
