Reports from the Naval Expedition.
When the steamer Georgeanna left Old
9 Point on Saturday evening, it was reported ~
that one OF the government steamers, having
on board upwards of eight hundred soldiers,
mad been wrecked some thirty miles south Of
Hatteras and that only one hundred and fifty
men were saved. Another vessel. loaded
with cattle, had been blown on shore, and
the few cattle that were not drowned escaped
into theinterior. The Government steamer
George Peabody, which had made lfarbor
In Hampton Roads, dragged her anchors
during the gale. and was on shore at Hamp-
ton Bar. Several steamers were engaged
during Saturday indeavoring to get her off,
but without success. The weather in the
lower part of the bay and on the coast is re-
ported to have been equally as severe as any
experienced for a number of years. A
steamer with a flag of truce, which left Old
Point tor Norfolk on Friday, was compelled
to make harbor at SewalPs Point, and had
not returned up to Saturday night. We
shall doubtless be shortly compelled to re-
cord much loss and suffering from vessels on
the coast.
The New York Herald of yesterday saws:
by the arrival of a vessel at Baltimore yes
terday afternoon, we learn that the feet
was OFT Cape Hatteras on Wednesday even
ing, at which time the weather was remark
ably fair, and the squadron was moving
along finely. The captain of this vessel re-
ports that the gale commenced north of Cane
Ha5eras and gives it as his opinion that the
heee did not encounter it at all, as the ships
had passed south Of that point before it COM
menced"
The Baltimore American of to-day saws.
I'VE learn from passengers by the Norfolk
BOAT that the ramor on the streets Saturday
morning that three of the ferry.boats con-
lected with the expedition had returned dis

mall tugs which arrived at Old Point on
Thursday, unable to stand the weather on the

letters from Dumfries, on the Lower Poto-

that active operations have been going on in

The Directors propose to push the road through

however, without the sinews of war;" and as
some stockholders for technical reasons, refused
to pay up their installments the directors were
compelled to enforce the collection by severely
contested suit. After a decision in favor of the
Company it was thought there would be no
further difficulty on this score but we see by
notice of the See. that others are dilatory about
paying up, 1t is the intention of the Company to
push forward the work as fast as the means at its
disposal will allow, with a view of opening the
