Out of the fifteen recruiting oeloem now stationed here• Capt.. Moorhead alone recruited ffPg men, The number enlisted by the others we have not heard. Over throe Avadred =se were not out to camp yesterday, and another large squad will be sent out early this morning. These, however, lu not all belong to this die• triet, but come from the 22d, 23.1 and 14th districts. It is worthy of remark that recruits can now be =tutored in here, at the Girard Homo, and receive the government and local bounty, clothing, etc., and are not under the necessity of going to larrietrorg. A most noticeable feature of the enlistments yesterday, was the fact that nearly all the re cruits came from those rub districts where no provisions have been made for paying a local bounty. The men are determined not to wait to be drafted, bat prefer enlisting and credit ing themselves to some district more patriotic than their own. The result of all this is ob vious. When the draft doe, come, it will fall vary heavily ripen:these derelict sub-dbitricic. They had better be "up and doing" at once.

Schofield to the President, end pray for his removal, and on that prayer end pre sentation he was removed. Mr. Blair denied that he had authorized or approved anything of the sort, and said that In that very meeting he had defended Gen.Enchotield. ' , Then, God protect me from such defenders u you were then to Gen. Schofield;' replied Mr. Blow. De then went on to reiterate hie charges to give names of parties who ware there, and to say thet he would leave the question at issue between them to the decision of Mr. Blair's own friends. To this Mr. Blairpmfti no reply to make. Mr. Blow (continued exposing Mr. Blalr's (colonisation projects, and quoted from Montgomery Blair'. Rockville speech , denouncing the Abolitionists, and replied to it by saying that an Abolition party ruled the country, that Abolitionists had the ascend envy In the border States, and that the army was mere intensely Abolition than either. The speech was strong and radical through out, end attracted very marked attention. The radical border State men are especially delighted with It. lEXEt= Albert irto.r. W Deem ..

After the Conference Committee refaced, as announced in these dispatches • day or two ago, to reopen the question of taxing the stook on bud, It was supposed that that prepaid tion was finally killed. The Committee re ported today in favor of • sliding suba of sixty, sixty-dye and seventy cents. Thepettli ate promptly adopted the report, but Kvi; House • debate sprang up, that won shollailase decided change ainu their lut vote on the subject. It MU elated by • number of the Commit..., that they desired to take up the question of taxing gawk on hand, but that the Senate portion of the Committee had pc.- vented It on the ground that it Co., eintrarpto rules to revive in the Conference Committee any point already settled Wthe concurrent vow of both houses. /The Speaker'. decision was celled for, and be stated that while this one twhnically woe, yet • conference awn. mitts. could report that they would agree on certain point, provided both hula. amended their action on • certain other pointxtbus making the agreement in the aooferenos dtk pendent on • Joint agreement of the two houses on another point which the 1.0061,•0015 coo, mitten Itself nould not take up. The effect of this ruling la the as of whisky tax would be that the conference committee meld report an agreement on • certain sliding scale of taxa tion on whielty, provided the Elena* sadbadiats thould severally recede from their former notion on taxing stook on hand. Or In other words, by • roundabout technicality, the Con ference Committt• could revive the question of stook on heed, and &elide to tax it if they chow. As Coon as this decision cleared awsq the parliamentary difficulty, It became evident at once that the House meant to have a now Con (arenas Committee, and to Moist on taxing the stook on hand ; and at peon as It could be pressed to a vote they disagreed to the report of the Conference and eked a net committee by a vote of 86 to 51. The now committee on the part of the House conalats of Messrs. Washburn., Hasson and Dawson, and is even stronger than the former one was for taxing the stook on hand. To•da7L vote may be considered al rendering certain that there will be some tax on stook on band, probably not so large as at first reported. Twenty to thirty cents is now mostly talked of.
