WASHINGTON, Nor. 2
The Washington Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is now delivering in Wash
ington a thousand tons of government freight
daily, whilst the same time the mod is not work_
ed to its most capacity. It is said that arrange
ments are about being made for the laying of
a double track from Washington:to Annapolis—
the latter city to be made a depot.
A sufficient quantity of forage for the use of
the government is now being forwarded from
Baltimore. The exertions of Gen. Vanvliet
and Col. Jugal Is making ample arrangements
for transportation of supplies, are properly ap
preciated, being deserving of credit.
Business generally in this city is brisk beyond
any former period. The Government's demand
upon the 'Railroad and the blockade of the Po
tomac, however, occasion delayS in the prompt
receipt of supplies on private account. Hotels
and private boarding houses are making exten
sive arrangements for the accommodation of
visitors during the approaching session of Con
gress.
The sealed envelope having been placed at
the same piice as the old style =ruled envelope
by the post office department, is coming into
general use. All the returns show its great
popularity. A part from its advantage to cor
respondents in enabling the address to be even
ly written, postmasters have preserved to them
ample space in which to affix the post mark.
Besides the department is satisfied that the
ruled can not be as easily counterfeited as the
former style of envelope.
A committee of the City Councils of Philadel
phia, Stephen Benton Chairman, waited on
Major Gen. McClellan at his residence this
evening, and presented him with a magnificent
sword, the gift of that city. Gen. McClellan in
the course of his reply to the presentation speech
said he received the sword not for what he had
done but for what he hoped to do. All that
was necessary was patience and confidence and
victory would eventually be ours.
General McClellan will continue in actual
command of the army of the Potomac.
Yesterday afternoon a shell was thrown from
the Virginia shore, striking the tent of Lieut.
Brown, who has command of battery G, First
Pennsylvania artillery, at Difficult creek, near
Edward's Ferry. One of the persons in the
tent was wounded slightly on the arm by the
explosion. The shell is supposed to have been
from a light battery.
The steamer Powhatten arrived at the navy
yard this morning, hiving run the blockade
last night. She has been at Annapolis for some
time past and left there on Monday last. Since
Tuesday she has been with the flotilla on the
lower Potomac and last night started up, run
past the confederate batteries in the darkness,
although the enemy evidently heard her and
lights were run out and signals made. The
pilot of Powhattan, who knows the river thor
oughly, says that any vessels might have passed
the confederate batteries last night without in
curring any risk from the batteries.
The steamer Baltimore is used to convey
stores from Old Point to the flotilla below the
rebel batteries, and was at Wad's Bay last night
When the Powhattan came up. Four sloops, a
Jersey schooner and a rangy came down past
the batteries yesterday early in the afternoon.
They with one exception took a course through
the Swash channel next the Maryland shore,
and although the confederates wasted a large
quantity of ammunition in firing at them none
of them were struck. One of the sloops, com
manded by a German, kept close along the
Virginia shore running the gauntlet of the con
federate batteries and escaped unharmed from
the hehvy fire aimed at it. Thirty or forty
shells were thrown from the confederate batte
ries over to our entrenchments on the Maryland
shore yesterday, but they did not impede the
progress of the work. Some of our thirty-two
pounders answered with three or four rounds,
but it is not known whether our shots reached.
A terribly cold rain storm has prevailed here
for twenty-four hours, raising the river to such
a degree that boats cannot run.

Ended.
DABRiaroww, Nov. 8
At Edward's and Conrad's ferries yesterday
an remained quiet. A day or two ago a large
encampment of Confederates was pitched near
the villa of Hon. Thomas Swan, former Mayor
of Baltimore, but on the following miming it
had disappeared. Mr. SWan's residence is near
Leesburg and in full view of Edward's Ferry,
and from its tower can be observed 'every
strafed° point for many miles. It is not un
likely that it haslong beenUm( by Confederates
as an observatory.
Yesterday Gen. Stone sent a flag of truce over
to Edward's Ferry to Gen. Evans of the Con
federates,
whose present headquarters are at a
house in eight of the Ferry. The messenger
carried a letter, the purport of which is un
known, but probably had reference to the pris
oners or dead of Ball's Bluff. About four in the
afternoon our messengers returned and received
an answer from Gen. Evans. They represent
that the confederates who met them were in a
very seedy and tattered condition, and ex
pressed a fervent hope that the war might soon
be ended.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrison,of the Twenty
seventh Indiana has been compelled by domes
tic affliction to tender his resignation which has
been accepted. He was highly esteemed, both
as a gentlemen and a soldier, by his brother of
ficers and the whole regiment. The leave
taking yesterday was very affecting. Captain
Morrison of company A has, been spoken of as
likely to succeed Colonel. Harrison.
If all persons corresponding with General

NEWS FROM TEE FLEET
A vessel arrived here this afternoon which
reports having passed the great fleet off Hatteras
on Wednesday night, when the weather was re
markably fine, the vessels were moving finely.
The storm commenced this side of Hatteras,
and the captain thinks the vessels have had a
fine trip to the southward, and that they es
caped the storm.
StOOND DD3PATCU.
The report sent you last night about the fleet
was not quite correct. The fleet was passed off
Hatteras about daylight on Wednesday morn
ing, and not at night as first stated. The report
is made by Capt. Hall, of the British schooner
Jas. Butler, from Tark's Island. The captain
of course knew nothing about the expedition,
but reports that about daylight, as stated above,
he passed a large fleet, men-of-war among
them, under close roof. The weather was very
pleasant. He had experienced a blow the day
before.

No News from the
,Naval Expedition
Folmnsi MONROE, Nov. 2
No intelligence of the great expedition has
yet arrived. It is supposed that it yesterday
reached its destination. A terrific gale has pre
vailed since last evening, but no apprehensions
are felt for the safety of the fleet.
A flag of truce will go to Norfolk to-morrow,
and some news concerning the expedition will
probably be received.
The steamer George Peabody arrived from
New York this morning to join the expedition,
loaded with stores mid beef battle. Her ulti
mate destination was Key West and the Tortu
gas. She went aahore on Hampton bar, but
will probably be got off to-night.

The steamer City of New York arrived about
11 o'clock UAL; morning from Livernpool with
dates to the 23d tilt., by telegraph via Queens
town to the 24th.
GREAT BRITAIN.—The London Times in an
editorial on the efforts of a class in Lancashire
to induce the British government to interfere In
American affairs and break the blockade, says
that England would rather undergo much suf
fering than break the plain rules of international
law. She has recognized the blockade and must
abide by it. To break it would disgrace and
stain the reputation of England. England will
not commit such an act to save her greatest
manufactories.
The 2Emea, however, says that the blockade
is nob everywhere effectual, and it reminds the
Washington Government that it is only a real
blockade that can call for recognition. The ar
tide concludes by saying that it would ill be
come England to be the tool of southern ma
'cbinations, the leaders in which, by withhold
ing cotton, count on compelling foreign nations
to take their side in the quarrel.
The Shipping Gazette continues to denounce
the conduct of the blockade and the wrongs
dope to British ships. It says that some action
on the part of the British government is becom
ing indispensable.
Dr. Russell in his last letter to the London
Ties asserts that England and the United States
were all but at war three months since. The
2imespoint to all bat the independent opera
tions in Missouri and Kentucky to show the
impracticable nature of the war.
A company has been formally inaugurated
for restoring the telegraph to India.
Faattea.--It is reported that France has sent
an answer to the Italian proposition on the
ROman question to the effect that financial dif
ficulties in France prevents, at present, a solu
tion of the question.
The return of the Bank of France continues
to excite uneasiness. It is reported that twenty
millions of francs have been lost in specie since
the last statement. It is asserted that the panic
relative to the French wheat crop is premature
and, exaggerated.
IND/A.—The Bombay mail of September 27th,
brings Calcutta telegrams to the 45th. Cotton
imports were active and advancing in both
markets. The weather was good for crops. A
medium yield of cotton was anticipated in the
northwest. The Bombay (kale asserts that in
another year England need only look to India
for cotton.
Timm, Oct. 28.—A decree issued abolishes
the lientenantcy of Naples and the separate
government of Tummy.
