FROM wAsHINGTON.

| w ASHINGTOhj MaECu l.
The Secretary of War TO- day sent 10 the
House 8 communication from Provost
Marshal General Fry, in reply to resolu-
ton in relation to the enlistment of rebel
prisoners Of war.
The report made by Mr.. Washburne, TO-
day, from the Committee on Commerce,
saws that trade has been carried on with
the InsurrecLionary States without sanction
of law, resulting in no benefit to the gov
ernment, though inAicting irjury and fos-
tering spirit Of speculation and disgrace
fnl scramble after wealth; besides, it has
tended to Generalization, and led to pro-
longed war at the expense Of public treas
ure. The testimony shows that trade
agents or spectators sent TO the rebels,
through the lines at New Orleans, Norfolk,
and other places, supplies to an amount
surprising belief. Negotiations are enter
ed into, and correspondence carried on, by
the rebel agents for provisions and other
necessary articles and supplies in return
for cotton
The Committee say that contracts have
been made through agents for supply of
not less than 100000 bales of cotton
with sixty-one persons. No particular
proof had been required to show that the
agents were loyal, and were acting In good
faith; and in order to conduct speculations
it appears that the Presidents orders have
been changed without his consent. The
Committee say that it was never contem-
plated that such vast transactions should
be entrusted to such q small class
of persons, besides persons who pre-
tended to control the sale and pur-
chase of cotton, obtained permits meres
ly to enable them to indulge in the disloysl
and dissrsceful speculation. They report
the result has been to prolong the war by
furnishing the rebels with the supplies they
most needed. They quote from letters OF
Generals Candy and Gordon to show the
enormity of unlawful and injurious traffic
now carried on.
The House has repealed the section of
the act of Congress authorizing the appoint
ment of Treasury Agents to purchase the
products of insurrectionary States. Senator
Trumbull and Representatives Wilson and
Dawson as select committee of the two
Houses of Congr ess to-day waited on Pres
ident Lincoln and informed of his re-
election. To this he responded.
Having served four years in the depths
of 8 great and unended national peril l
can view this call to second term in no
wise move fsttering to myself than as an
expression of the public Judgment that l
may better finish difficult work in which
1 have labored from the first, than could
any one less severely in schooled the task.
In this view, and with increased reh-
ance on that Almighty Ruler, who has so
grsciously sustained US thus tar, and with
increased gratitude to the generous people
for their continued confidence, accept
the renewed trust with its yet onerons and
perplexiDg duties and responsibilities.
No response has yet been received from
the Vice President, who did not arrive un-
til tonight.

hOUSEs
The House resumed the consideration of
the amendstory Tariff bill,
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
strike out the additional duty Of 10 cen IS
on 100 pounds of railroad iron.
The bill as originally reported was
amended, but in no respect reducing any
of the duties, and was then passed.
M. Wsshburn. of Illinois, made re-
port showing the fraud and disloyslty,
arising from the trade with tbe rebellious
States, accompanied by bill to repeal SO
much of the law regulating such trade as
authorized tha appointments Of agents for
The purpose of Purchasing products. The
bill was passed.
The House took up and considered the
civil appropriation bill.
The civil appropriation bill was then
taken up. It makes appropriations for the
survey of the coast light houses, patent Of
fee, botanic garden, surveying the public
lands and for many miscellaneous items.
Without coming to q conclusion on tho
bill the House took recess till 7-SO.

NEW YORK, March l

NEW YORK, March l.
The Times Washington special says
In anticipation of battle between Gen.
erals Sherman and Johnston, of which We
may receive intelligence at any moment,
the War Department has dispatched 8
well appointed corps Of surgeons and
nurses to Wilmington, from which point
they will be forwarded to Shermsn's ar
my. They are amply proAided with hos
pital stores and everything necessary TO the
caro- of the sick and wounded.
The rumor that General Schofleld has
formed junction with General Sherman
is regarded here as altogether probable,
but the Government is confident of Gener-
81 Shermsn's ability to take care of him
self, and manage any force that the rebels
are able to sent against him. Still as Lee
will undoubtedly exhaust every available
resource in the effort to check SheTman's
audscious advance, q speedy junction of
the two armies is desirable, as making as
surance doubly sure.
Deserters from the rebel army come in
in steady stream. Many of them, before
they leave our lines, are separately exam
ined, snd their testimony for the past few
DAYS is to the effect that General Hills
corps has left for the South, TO aid in resist
ing General Sherman. If this should prove
true, it is deemed absolutely necessary that
General Lee must shorten his lines, which
necessity is the only ground for the ru-
mored evacuation of Petersburg.
Letters from General Grants headqusr-
ters say:-That although all is quiet in
/ front of Richmond, yet active operations
before long are looked for, and the utmost
vigilance is observed in our lines.
The military railroad has been complet-
ed to the position on the left Of the army
of the Potomac on Hstcher's Run, and
trains will commence running on it regu-
larly, to-day.
On Friday last one hundred and ninety
deserters came into the lines Of the Army
of the Potomac and the james. They re
port that the Petersburg theatre filed Will
rebel Government stores has been burned
and this is instanced as additional proof o.
the intention to eVscuste that town.
The HsrayGs st. Louis dispatches repor'
the recent Generalization Of Kirby Smith
army to be equal to that of the othel
rebel armies in various portions OF tn
country. Large numbers OF dsserters from
it are constantly coming INTO the OnlOi
lines Tbree-fourths Of his men sr
said to be conscripts, who are satisfied tha
tbe Oonfederacy is failure, and disgusse'
With the service, and are only desirous
T making their escape and getting back
) their homes.
The TribupSs Washington special says
General Joe Johnston has assumed IN
