Action of the House on the Tax bill.
The House spent most of the day to-day in considering the Tax Bill, which is pushed vigorously by the Committee of Ways and Means.

One was called off by his wife, another "by the telegraph," another by important personal business, another "was excessively hungry," &c. Mr. Stevens is obliged to crack the parliamentary whip vigorously over the team to keep them in the traces.

Cotton planting
--A correspondent of the Savannah Republican, writing from Washington, Ga., April 2d, says:
"Our planters had a meeting yesterday, which was largely attended, and they unanimously resolved and pledged themselves not to plant any cotton for sales the present year.--They will raise just enough for their own domestic consumption, and plant all their lands in grain.
Our people are determined to support the army, and help to whip the fight in every way."
A letter dated Talbotton, Ga., says:
"We had a glorious meeting here yesterday on cotton planting.
Several of our largest planters will not plant a seed, among them, Major J. H. Walton, who has been in the habit of planting 600 acres in cotton.--So, also, old Mr. Searcy, and his son, Dr. Searcy, and Mr. J. Canker.
I do not believe there will be 300 acres of cotton planted in the county.
We have a cavalry company in progress, for the equipment of which $1,000 have been subscribed."
