(Times Dispatch)
A highly intelligent and trustworthy gentle
man, who has been on duty in connection with
the blockading squadron off Charleston, assures
me that since Capt. Marston took command of
this station, FIVE weeks ago, it is absolutely GER
tain no vessel has put to sea directly from that
harbor. Through narrow channels leading
among the sea islands to Savannah and even 10
points on the coast of Florida, small craft, such
as schooners of light draft and sloops, may
have made their way; but the watch of these
passages is not kept, 1t being impossible With
large vessels.

The division of Gen. Blenker now holds the
Columbia turnpike from Long Bridge to Ma.
sons Hill, their pickets extendfg beyond An.
nandale, six miles above .Bailey's Cross Roads.
They have seen nothing Of the enemy, except
en- occasional scouting party, for the last two
weeks. ff
The movements of the rebels on the lower
Potomac are mysterious. Ten days ago they
were busiIy engaged In increasing their forces
in the vicinity of Shipping Point and Eyansport
For the last two days they have been remarka-
bly, quiet in that locality; not gun has been
fred frem their batteries. Their blockade ot
the Potomac is not so complete, as vessels
nightly run the gauntlet. .+
The rebel schooner Page and the two captur.
ed schooners are still in Quantico creek
The election in the lower counties Of Mary.
land passed of with unusual quietness.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s.--Indicatons are that
the rebels have Withdrawn some of their troops
from the neighborhood of Shipping Point. The
lesser number Of their camp fires, together with
other evidences, would seem to show there has
been recent diminution Of their forces. Maybe
they are only playing possum.
Great activity prevails among our troops and
preparations are believed to be in progress
which will drive the rebels from their presenl
position and speedily restore the unobstucte(
navigation Of the Potomac. ..
