Taxation.

There is reason to believe, notwithstand'
ing rumors, that Whisky and Tobacco will
be put in separate bill, that all articles
will be embraced in general tax bill, to be
reported from the Committee on Ways and
Means next week. The question is not yet
however, definitely settled.
The resolution passed by the House in
structs the Committee Of Ways and Means
to enquire into the expediency of repeating
the clauses of the Internal Revenue laws
exempting Government Bonds from taxa
ton. The preamble recites that the effect
of the present system is unwarantably to
tax real estate.

THE Washington Star, speaking Of the
SANDER on Gen. MCCLELLAN contained in th {
story that he had secret interview with
General LEE after the battle of Antietam
says
with reference to the statement Of
some one who so far withholds his name from
the public, we have to say that if any such
interview took place, known to the writer
and to some other person who brought il
about, the probability is that it was also
reported TO the authorities. We draw this
conclusion from the fact that Gen. McClel-
lan's public history proves him to be per-
son of great 'wariness and caution where
his own reputation is concerned
GENERAL GRANT recommends Gen. VIM.
SMITH, late of the Army of the Cumber-
land, as Gen. MEADEs successor in the com
mand of tho Army of the Potomac. The
army is to be thoroughly reorganized and
there seems to be no doubt OF MEADE s

NE Warrington correspondent of the
New York World, after speaking of Gen.
GRANTS reception il Washington and the
presentation of his commission as Lieuten'
ant General, says ::---------------
Aoouncil of war vas subsequently held,
in which not only the President, Gen. Grant,
GEN. Hslleck, and NEST the 0sbinet par
ticipated, but all the military talent in which
the administrator has confidence was cali
cd in. The basis III the Acase submitted for
consideration was, that the several Febru.
sry expeditions had nesrly all miscarried
and the country was becoming alarmed and
dissatisfied. I have it from source that l
consider reliable, that after the ground had
been gone over, Gen. Grant was called upon
for his views, and that hepromptly respond
ed in favor of the capture Of Richmond as
the first step in the campaign; and j feel
quite sure that orders will Instantly 90 for
ward to bring the Eleventh and Twelfth
corps from Chattanooga, on the Sixteenth
and Seventh corps from the Mississippi
river to Virginia. All the troops that can
be spared from other points will, according
to the statement which reached me, be in
corporated with the Army of the Potomac.
and Gen. Banks will be reinforced with ne
gro troops, but nothing more; and it is ex
pected that with the aid of the feet he will
be able to take Mobile. The great bulk OF
the white troops will be concentrated in
Virginia, and it is believed 10000 men can
be brought against Richmond at an early
! day. Gen. Grant, I understand, protests
against any further attempts to penetrate
the confederacy until Richmond shall have
been taken. He disagrees with Halleck,
and places the highest strategical value up.
on the rebel capital, declaring that Cincin-
natl as we'll as Washington is threatened by
| it. Who will command. and what will be
the route in this new on to Richmond
my informant does not state. l think it
probable that Gen. Grant will command
the main column himself, with Sherman,
Mcpherson, Meade and Hooker as his chief
subordinates. The secret reason for this
council of war was to inaugurate some mil.
itary movement which would help Mr.. Lin
coin in the June convention. 1t is felt that
nothing but military success will prevent
the Fremont and Chase men from disrupt
ing the administration party.

The Washington correspondent of the Chi:
cago Tribune, lLncoln organ, says that
Green Adams, late "A uditor OF the Postoflice
Department, and John j. Sharretts, his
chief clerk, had been in the habit of selling
the waste paper of the Department, which
accumulates very rapidly, to dealers, and put
ting the money in their own pockets. Du-
ring three. years they have sold over S., ,O0O
worth not one dime of which have they eve
paid into the Treasury. They even went
farther They cut down thn wages of the
laboror who had been employed to prepare
the paper for selling, from forty dollars a
month to fifty dollars quarter They sad
that in the present rebellion, when the coun-
try was reeling under such terrible load of
expense and debt, it was the duty of every
pnblic officer to save what he could to the
Government and make all the sacrifices pos
Sible to save his bleeding country They
therefore, with great reluctance, docked the
poor devil S wages twenty dollars quarter,
and mournfully put the same in their pock-
cts They then divided their i'll gotten
gains and left not word nor scratch of q
pen in the Office to indicate to Uncle Sam
that they were grateful to him for this spe-
cial mark Of his favor.
The new Auditor, Mr.. Sells, discovered
this business operation, VIII N Sharretts paid
over his half of the money. Adams has not
yet paid over. He is now cotton agent at
