The battery was found to be a well con- structed and formidable work, mounting 15 guns, of which two are 10 inch columbiads. Admiral Dahlgren in speaking of the atrength of the fort says: «Generally tt had been much underrated,and Supposed to be unable to resist the attack of a } single vessel and afew men. But we can now understand that it was well placed, weil cen- structed.and strongly armed, sothat we should have had some tronble to reduce it, it well manned The Admiral, in referring to Georgetown, * Saye that «it hus exhibited every indication of | @ flonrisbing place, and, though with less than | 2.060 inhabitants, is (he third town of the State. ‘The riee and cotton and lumber of a large sco: of country is floated here by the rivers that a together at its site.” * * * * ere was & rumor, the Admiral says, that Gen.

THE INAUGURATION BALL, Unquestionably the Ball last night in most essentials surpassed any previous affair of the sort since Inauguration Balls were inaugu- rated. The 3 was first an unsurpassed room and series of rooms for the purpose. Such another magnificent ball room, supper room promenade hall, and series ot aparimeats for refreshment rooms, dressing rooms, cloak rooms, &c., were probably never before found in conjunction under one roof. ~ The opportunity for dress display ia such spacious and brilliantly lighted halls was ne- cessarily unsurpassed, and the coup dit from the elevated seats lining the dancing hallat any time from ten P. M., until daylight, was | Drilliant in the extreme. The arrangements by the management were thoughtful and on a liberal scale. Three Bands were provided, Withers’ Band for the dancing, Lillie’s Finley Hospital Band for the promenade music, and the Band of the 9th Veteran Reserve Corps tor the supper room. The decorations tor the various rooms had been placed in ertistic hands, and the result of | the harmonious blending of colors was very pleasing to the eye, and especiaily in con- janction with the brilliant effect from the rich- ly dressed assemblage. The ball room was the long north hall of the Patent Office, used heretofore en some special occasions for balls and concerts for patriotic purposes. The flooris taid in marble tiles of blue and while, forming not quite so elastic & material as desirable for dancing purposes, but as the needs of a ball room on such an oc- casion as last aight is mainly for promenade purposes, it aaswered the requirements ad- mirably and was less objectionable on the score of dust than a wooden floor. The arrangement of the gas jets in lines across the wall below the celling was such as to distribute the light with excellent effect, for which judicious ar- rangement the managers received the special thanks of the ladies who after taking pains to dress with proper care for such an @ccasion naturally abhor and detest an illy lighted ball room. ‘The dancing commenced shortly befere ten o'clock and in the course of the night the fol- lowing programme was gone through with: ' PROGRAMME National Inauguration March—Composad ex pressly for the occasion. 1, Quadrille—Uatnha- Tina: H.

The position occupiea by the Presidential party was necessarily the center of attraction during the time they were in the room, and the dancers were obliged to accommodate themeelyes to the movement in that direction. Mrs. Lincoln was attired in admirable taste. She wore a white silk skirt and boddice, an elaborately-worked white lace dress over the silk skirt, a berthe of point lace and puffs of silk, and a white fan trimmed with ermine andsilvered spangles, white kid gloves and Jace handkerchief, and a necklace, bracelet and earrings ef pearls. Her hair was brushed closely back from her forehead. and a head- dress, counposed of & wreath of white jessa- mines and purple violets, with long trailing vines, eompleted a most recherche costume. The President was dressed in black, with white kid gloves. Other distinguished personages made their appearance about the same time—NSecretari2s Seward, Welles, Dennison, Usher, Attorney General Speed, and a geodly representation of the diplomatic corps. General Halleck was present, as also Gener- al Banks, General Hooker (escorting Miss Chase, daughter of Chief Justice Chase,) Ad- mirel Farragut, and many others of military orhayal note. Long John Wentworth towered above the assemblage, and since his last appearance here base grown stout as well as Jong. George Francis Train, who was amongst the throng, bas also increased in balk lately, de- spite a restless career, not well calculated for the accumulation of adipose matter. But George is a superb looking fellow, fat or lean, and himself and his beautiful wife (who, in the opinion of many, was the best dressed wo- man inthe room,) attracted attention where- ever they moved. - Mrs. Southworth, the novelist, was present, accompanied by her son, a talented young student at the New York University. Captain Robert Lincoln, now on General Grant's staff, was in the ball room for a con- siderable portion of the evening, and escorted the beautiful daughter of Senator Harlan. Lieut. Cushing, of the navy, the hero of the torpedo exploits, was present, and was made much of by the admirers of grit and heroism. The drees display was rich and varied, New York belle-dom taking the lead perhaps in this department, though Washington (perhaps dividing honors with Philadelphia) carried off the palm for beanty. Many of the dresses were made high, with short sleeves, and long sleeves of puffed talle worn over them. Others formed simply a bodice, festooned in {front over waist, and sleeves of tulle. One, a superb blue and silver fabric, was trimmed with cestly point lace and rich cord with silver tassels. The head-dress consisted of blue velvet, with lace lappets and diamond aigrette, Another dress attracting much attention, ‘was of white glace silk, puffed to the knee with tulle, puton in diagonal lines, and ornamented with white satin ribbon, rosebuds and crys- tallixed grass. A tunic of lace draped the bedice, which was also trimmed with puffings, nad was looped up on one side with full bo- quet of grass, rusebuds, and loops and ends of white satinribbon. White satin ribbon passed through the hem formed a border to the tunic, which was deep behind, but short in front. A dress, followed admiringly by many fe- male eyes, consisted of black tulle, embroidered. in gold colored silk, in small wheat ears. it was made over black satin, and trimmed with gold tringe round. the bottom of the skirt,and long sasb ends. The body was low, and crossed in folds from right to left, the fringe forming ano'der. The ornaments coasisted cf gold wheatand crimson poppis:, placed upon the. right shoulder and left side of the waist, and these also formed the head dress. Corn colored and Lilac silks appeared to be in especial favor. Among the great number of costumes ‘was @ pearl-colored silk, trimmed with a deep flounce of white lace, a white lace berthe and basque trimmed with narrow white lace, and head dress of purple violets and fine white flow. ers. Amaroon-colored velvet dress, made high in the neck, trimmed with square pearl bat- tons, with long basque &nda handsome whit# Jace shawi. A pink India silk with narrow bars made low in the neck, with short sleeves and a long pointed bodice, & point lace berthe and white lace shawl, with jewelry of opals, and pearls. Miss Stoops appeared as the (toddess of Lib- erty, with Cap of Liberty and Spsaogled Sxirt. Shortly after midnight the Presidential party ‘were escorted to the supper room, and when they were duly placed at the head of the table the dcors were thrown open for the assemblage at large. The scene presented at the supper table prior to the desceut of the hungry crowd was very attractive as well as appetizing. The tables were some 250 feet in extent, and orna. mented in the highest style of the confectioner’s art, and these ornaments were flanked by such eaibles 4s noted in the foliowing bill of fare: BILL OF FARE. .

The center ornament was a model of the Capitol in a style of elaboration we never be- fore eaw attempted in such material Upon the sides of the pedestal upon which this model was mouuted were devices, as fol- lowe: Upon the east front, a representation of Fort Sumteras it appeared when recently taken possession of by Union troops; irom clads ata short distance, and small boats at the base, from which troops have apparently just landed, who &re re-erecting the flag of the Unien. Upon the west front, the Revolution of 1776— as emblematized by Washington aud his gene rals in counsel in the fleid: on one hand the Goddesses of Victory and Peace, and on the otber a figure of Liberty, clothed with the rays of the rising sun, and crushing slavery und the serpent of secession beneath her feet. Upon the north wing, the Progress of Ciy- ilization, as shown by the advance of the White man upon this continent, aud the re- uring, in attitudes of wonder and awe, of the aborigines. Upon the south wing, the Year 1565—a group- ing, with excellent effect, of various products of literature, the arts and sciences, and the most prominent emblems of wonder-working civilization of the present day, which evi- dences most strikingly the remargable progress of our nation during the comparacvively brief ptriod of its existence. The piece towards the head of the table was @ monument in bonor of thearmy, representing beight upon height of victories gained and im- mortal honors won, each successive gradation covered with beantifnily executed and dis- tinctly representative insignia of war of every variety. Among these representations were six devices: The national colors and other in- Signia of war; scouts skirmishing; a general riding at the head of an advancing column, with field glass in active use; a close combat between infantry and cavairy; the capture of batteries and field artillery by infantry; anda quiet and well-illustrated camp scene. These were surmounted with three crests, upon which were eagles bearing in their beaks the following significant mottoes :—‘ The Union must and shall be preserved” —Anirew Jackson; +‘ Eternal vigilance is the price of lib- erty”— Thomas Jefferson; ** We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of the human race’’—Abraham Lincoln. Upon the pedestal beneath were photograph portraits of Lincoln, Halleck, Sherman,Grant, Thomas and Porter ‘The piece to the left of the center was in honor of the Navy, and was surmounted by Vice Ad- miral Farragut’s flag-ship, the Hartford, ri- ding upon a tempestuous sea, and a representa- tion of the Admiral, tied to the mast: and be- neath this were six devices—a miniature rep- rezentation of Fort Sumter; insignia of naval warfare, cannon, flags and an anchor; Lib- erty, with triumphant mien, beckoning naval heroes onward and upward; & jolly tar, in fall rigy Neptune driving his chariot, with tri- dent in hand; and the insignia of the Coast burvey. The excellent supper (not only handsome but good) was furnished by G. A. Balzer, con- fectioner, of this city. Our jolly friend, T. M Harvey, of oyster renown, was present, Superintending the my- riad preparations of oysters served apon the occasion. The onset of the crowd upen the tables was frightful, and nothing but the immense re- serves of eatables laid in by the thoughttul supper committees would have supplied the demand, or rather the waste. Numbers who coald not find immediate room at the tables, colonized in the numerous alcoves, where they were catered for by some of ir number, who, with more aadacity than good taste, could be seen enatching whole pa‘es, chickens, legs otf veal, halves of turkies, ornamental pyramids, &c., from the tables, and bearing them aloft over the heads of the shuddering crowd, (ladies especially, With greasy ruin to Ukeir dresses tmpending,) carry them off in triumph forprivate delectation. The floor of the supper room was soon sticky, pasty and oily with wasted confections, mached cake and debris of tow] and meat. The alcove appropriaters of eatables from the ta- bies left their plates upon the floor after a free andeasy sort, miscellaneously or ib chance piles, adding tothe difficulty of locomotion; and gentlemen, in conscientiously giving a wide berth toa lady's skirt, not unfrequently steered clear of Scylla only to fall upon a Charybdis of greasy crockery. Finally everybody was satisfied, even those who felt bound to ‘eat their ten dollars’ worth,” and the ball room again filled up, and the dance and promenade was resumed. President Lincoln and party withdrew about one o'clock, but most of the other distinguished guests lingered for hours afterwards, and the rooms did got thin out until the morning was well advanced. Itis estimated that not less than four thou- sand persons were present at this ball. Upto nine o'clock in the evening the managers could Dot judge whether success was assured; that is to say & paying succe:s, in view of the great outlay. But by ten o’clock the surge of ar- rivals showed that it was not only to be suc- cessful, but a great success. The scene from the upper steps of the Patent Office, (soutn front,) a8 the pall was “ letting out,’ was unique. Powerfal lights (from re- flectors) threw a glare for many squares in every direction. Any one curious to know Washington's available resources in the way of hacks could there learn. They were there by the acre, ard as far the eye could reach. One gentleman who was inquiring anxiously for his carriage (number somewhere up among the thousands) was informed facetiously by some of the jehus that his vehicle was some- where in the vicinity of the Treasury Depart- ment, and would probably be able to work its way up to the Patent Officein the courae of the forenoon ! CAPTURE OF A VALUABLE STEAMGR.

A boatman received a note from Wil- liamsport yesterday, informing him that the aqueduct over Conococheage Creek, at Wil- liamsport, had fallen. This work was injured by the rebels in their raid to Washington, and bad been repaired. It is possible that some portion of the repaired work has given away. This morning there wasan attempt made to draw the water off from the lower section of the canal, but atnoon the gates were closed again. This was probably to allow boats in Government service te pass up tbe canal. Sev- eral are now fitting out and loading for depar- tere trom this terminus.
