A TRMPORARY BATTERY of two guns waserected ator near the White House, a few miles below Fort Washington, on Saturday, on the Virginia side, by men doubtless from Alexandria. In these days of military operations with steamers, it can- not prove etticlent to embarrass the free navigation of the Potomac an hour after it may become ne- cessary to pass troops and supplies up the Potomac for the protection and relief of Washington city. THE EVENING S WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY... Spirit of the Morning Press The {rtelligencer argues that if the seceded States would awalt the issue of negotiations sd dressed to a competent authority, instexd of seiz- Ing Federal property, a peaceful secession might be effected, even !f no terms of reunion could be Fortress Monrog.—aAs anticipated in the last issue of the Star, Fortress Monroe was reinforced on Saturday by the arrival and safe debarkation of the troops that shipped on Thursday last from Fall River. It1s confidently believed by the Gov- ernment that that important point {sso garrisoned and provisioned 2s that it can stand a six month’s seige from an army of ten thousand men. sess Diao ear The Kepubdlican seys the leaders of the conspir- acy to seize the capital bave alone been deterred from doing so by a knowledge of the loyalty of our citizens and their determination to defend the ———_- 08 - Norrors. —Tusz U.S. Navat Steamer Paw- nER.—The Pawnee, which left the Washington Navy Yard, carrying a considerable reinforcement of marines, on Friday morning last, reached her destination in due time. On ber arrival, the guns of the Norfolk Navy Yard were duly spiked, and 2s our informant was about leaving there, she was Preparing to proceed to perform her mirsion—to remove all the versels ef the United States of value, or that could possibly be prepared for sea service, somewhere In the roads, beyond the reach of molestation by order of the Virginia authori- ties: or, if that be found impossible, to blow them to atoms. Commodore Paulding was charged with the execution of these orders. and went down upon her. The frigate Cumberland, laying broadside be- tween Norfolk and Portsmouth, with all her guns donble shotted, stood ready to secure Commodore Paulding from being molested in his effort to get The Cumberland’s guns. as we mentigned on Saturday, commanded the situation #0 Completely as that the U.S naval authorities in that quarter did not anticipate a serious effort to interfere with Commodore Paulding in the execution of these orders. P. 3 —We have later and more reliable infor- mation from Norfolk. ‘Thus we have to say that at noon on Saturday, wbout as the Pawnee rea-hed Fortress Monroe, the officers In command proceeded to sink the Germantown slocp-of-war and the steam frigate Merrimac, in pursuance with orders received from this point, in case it should be found impossitle to get them beyond the reach of seizure or assault it appears that the disunionists had succeeded in sinking vessels loaded with granite, so as to render the channel absolutely impassable to any craft drawing more than + ight feet of water. The brig Dolphin is understood to have gotten out over there obstructions. Oar belief is that Capt. Pendergrast ere destrov- Ing the Cumberland will make an effort to Ughten her over the obstructing stone veasels. If that can- |- not be accomplished, he will of course promptly destroy ber also. The sinking of the sels renders the possession of the Navy importance to the disuntonists, though it was understood that General Taliaferro, who is in command of their forces in that quarter, had de- termined to seize tt. Its guns had all been duly spiked. We do not believe that the Pawnee was able to get in over the sunken stone vessels, and therefore should not be surprised to learn of her speedy return hither. aE ee eee ares Tux Arms ix THE Possession oF Vincinia.— On the day before the Virginia Convention went into secret session, Mr. Scott, of Powhatan, who had up to that time been a Union man, in a speech designed to explain bis change of position, inti- mated that bis opposition to secession had been greatly indcced by his knowledge of the entire inadequacy of the State's supply of arms to enter Upon any such contest as that into which 2n ordi- nance of secession would immediately iavolve her. He backed up this declaration by a remark that the Adjutant Gener.l of the State had assured him that at that moment Virginia poseessed only anne enough to place in the hands of five thousand men—and to arm but three thousand Properly. It is evident to us, therefore, that most of the arms previously i: the possession of the State au- thorities had somehow or othe: gene South ere Virginia undertook to take off the hauds of the Confederate States the war they made with the United States Government.
