From Washington

WASHINGTON, March 1.

All is quiet across the Potomac opposite Washington.  No news of public interest from that section of the army has been received here to-day.

Herald’s Correspondence.

It has been a busy time to-day among the division across the river, being the last day of the month.  Each regiment has undergone the usual monthly inspection.

The friends of Col. Jno. A. Logan will be gratified to learn that, although badly wounded at the capture of Fort Donelson, he is doing well.  The wound is dangerous, however.

World’s Dispatch.

A private letter received here from Paris states, that Mr. Yancey has left for Alabama, via Havana, fully satisfied that none of the great powers of Europe will recognize the Confederate Government.  He has met with great success in obtaining a supply of cheap but durable goods, for the clothing of negroes.

The House committee on foreign affairs have decided to report against the Senate bill for the recognition of the independence of Hayti.  The committee is composed of Crittenden, chairman, Gooch, Cox, White, of Ind., McKnight, Burham, Thomas, Pomeroy, of N. Y. and Fisher of Del.  The committee intend making a long report in a few days on the right of nations on the high seas.

Advices from Annapolis state that the nomination and election of Hon. Reverdy Johnson to the U. S. Senate is a certainty, the contest being narrowed between him and Henry Winter Davis.

The President to-day nominated Col. Jno Cochrane for a Brigadier General of Volunteers.
