FROM WASHINGTON,

The Washington papers of yesterday even
mo state that the Railroad between Washing
ton and Baltimore, was effectualy broken
., noint near Laurel, including the bridge
AZ that place, and also the bridge over
Paint Branch A construction train was cap
tored and burned, at Beltsville yesterday morn
ing, the men narrowly escaping, on the loco
motive which reached Washington. At about
l2 clock the telegraph wires between Wash
ington and Annapolis junction were cut, and
it was supposed that the railroad at that point
had also been destroyed. 1t was reported that
the bridge over the Gunpowder river would
be repaired in Sc hours The bridge over Bush
river it is said will soon be repaired Commu
uicaton north of Baltimore had not been re-
sumed yesterday, except by single telegraph
wire to Philadelphia, but as communication
With Baltimore is now suspended, there is no
information later than noon yesterday.
The Washington Star thinks that the Con
federates yesterday were moving their lines
towards the Eastern Branch. Information
reached Washington yesterday that a force
Of Confederates were at the Frying Pan, on
Goose Creek, seven miles above Falls Church,
and it was conjectured that their purpose is to
make demonstr alton against the fortihcatlons
on the south side, when they may think that
the operations on the north side shall have tn
duced the withdrawal Of the forces ln the
works on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
Falls Church was yesterday occupied by the
Gonfderates, said to number about 800.
The 'tUnion Leagues in Washington have
rendered their services for the defence OF that
city, and Gen. Doubleday has been assigned to
command them.
The Confederate scouts are active on the
Virginia side of the Potomac near Washing
ton but their object is unknown.
1t is believed in Washington that the main
force OF Confederate infantry did not reach
the front of Washington until Monday night
The Washington Chronicle Of this morning
states that the railroad between Washington
snd Baltimore is cut in five different places 80

know her way-cool, quiet but determined as
ever grew. Just after we were married, and
all was nice and cozy, she got me in the hab

breakfast rather before me one morning, and
slipping away from the table, she filled the
churn with cream, and set it down where
couldn't help seeing what was wanted. SO !
took hold readily enough and churned till the
butter came. She didn't thank me- but look
ed so nice aud sweet about it that felt well
paid.
Well, when the next charming day came
along she did the aame thing, and followed
suit, and fetched the butter. Again and again
1t was done Just so, and was regularly set
for it every time Not word said, you know,
ot course. Well, by and by this began to be
rather irksome; | wanted her just to ask me,
but she never did, and wouldn't say any
thing about it to save my life. SO on we went.

said she, aud so with palptating heart |
moved on. | went down town, and my foot
was as restless as Noah's dove. | felt as il |
had done Il wrong. | did not feel exactly
how-but there was an indiscrbable sensa-
tion Of guilt resting in me all the forenoon.
1t seemed as if dinner time would never
come, and as for going home one minute be.

SO went moping and iretting around town
till dinner hour came Home went, feeling
very much as q criminal must when the jury

actly how she would meet me, but some kind

every mouthful of that dinner felt rs if it
would choke me. She didn't pay any regard
20 II, however, but went on Just as If nothing

the old way Splash, dip rattle-I kept it up.

The New York Times, Lincoln's organ,
has the following editorial complimentary no
tice OF Ben, Butler's wonderful dongs in New
York. The Times pretends to be glad that b.
B. has done no worse:
General Butler has been in active COM
mand Of the city and State of New York for
forty-eight hours. So far as We have heard,
he has not yet erected single gallows or
hung anybody he has shot nobody; he has
knouted nobody; he has hamstrung nobody
he has cruoifed nobody; he has impaled no
body on poker, or bastnadoed nobody He
has sent nobody to Fort Lafayette, and put
nobody in chains or irons He has suppress
ed no newspapers, and insulted no women
1t is highly probable Butler will be remov,
ed unless he improves upon this record. If
he is to do none of these characteristic things,
We would like to know what good he is doing
in New York.
