NovEKENT8 OF GIN. GRANT.
General Grant has returned from Fortress Mon
roc well pleased With the appearance Of things tn
| General Butlc1s department. He speaks Of Cen
efal Buffers idea with respect to the prosecution
Of the war US entirely in harmony with his OWL
aHc goes to the Army Of the Potomac tomorrow.
| EXCHANGE OF PUsoxKRs.
The Government ia now more nearly in accord
with the rebels, with regard to exchanges than it
1t has been since they suspended under the origi-
nal cartel. Gen. But1er and Commissioner 0nld,
Ut their recent interview, settled all the points Of
difference bnt one ould agreed to an exchange
MN for man, upon terms satisfactory to Butler
but tnsisted that that agreement ehon1d not fn-
clude the officers and soldiers Of colose1
while Butler insisted that serving under the sane
tag, they arc entitled to the sans treatment IS
other United States soldiers.
CONGRESSIONAL
The Houee unanimously adopted the resolution
Of Winter Dayis, that It does not accord with the
policy Of this Government to allow nonarchial
Government to be formed on the ruins Of the Re-
public OF Mexico By an European PoHey.
The National Bank bill received two important
amendments to-day. The dret, on motion Of Mr.
Hooper, dsspenees with the present System Of
designating National Ranks By numbers, and allows
them to ndopt names like State Banks.
The second, on motion Of III. Blaine, h1es the
rate OF interest at per cent where there no rate
fixed BY State laws, but provides that each Bank
shall conform to the Interest laws Of the Stato
where located.
There is still pending the question On Mr. Van
V8lkenberg's motion, that the capital stock Of
national baniH may be taxed for State Or NUM-
ctpal purposes Il fs considered probable By some
OF the most experienced members that the whole
bill may he finally rejected by tho House.
There is additional evidence that the Ways and
Means Committee will agree upon a tax on whisky
Of eighty CENTS after the LIST Of July and one dollar
after the 1st Of Janun1y As stated in this CORES
pondcnce ten days aeo, there viii bo no ta1 On
stock On hand.
The House refused to day BY vote OF two to one
to order the previous question the bill from the
COMMITTEES on Roads and Canals, authorizing the
railroad bridge over the Ohip River at the fal1e,
and by -Four minority, It rrfared to lay it on the
table, and 1t was finally sent back to the Com
mtttee-
