Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-01-08

Several teams had started, but two or three
had reached the train; and how any human
being could live to ride in such a storm
such distance, and face it, was Il matter OF
astonishment to all. The attempt of the
teams to return to the city that night fail
ed, we learned Saturday morning, and two
or three ladies, who started with them,
were badly frozen before reaching shelter.
Friday night was passed in comparative
comfort. But few slept, think. The fire S
were sufficient to warm the cars, and close
ly crowded in the seats, we watched over
the women and little ones, and waited for
day to dawn.
Toward morning the bowling Of the wind
ceased; the snow ceased filtering in through
the crevices, and the bright moon told us
that the storm had spent its anger. There
was joy among the passengers-a general
waking up followed. Saturday morning
came, with a further distribution of food,
and vigilant lookout for some signs of
help. About eight o'clock an engine was
seen approaching us from the east with
snow plOw. Before ten o'clock it had
reached and hauled us back to the Junction,
where we found two or three other trains
waiting to go in. About twelve o'clock it
was announced that sleighs from the city
had arrived, chartered by the railroad COM
pmay, to convey such passengers as did not
choose to wait for the road to be broken to
Ulich's Hotel. These were soon crowded,
and after tedious, cold ride, were safely
set down at Ulich's, where the chilled and
frozen received every attention from the
hospitable prOprictors, who refused to re-
ceive money for the comforts provided.
Such is the hasty record of the way the
old year closed and the new year began
with those of us who were on railroads in
this great storm.

To Hon. Gideon JVeAes:

To Hon. Gideon JVeIles::
| have the qualification of reporting a
very important service performed by the
blockading force at st. Andrews Sound
under command of Acting Master VIM. II,
Browne, in destroying very extensive and
valuable quality of salt works, both at Lake
Ocola and st. Andrews Bay. There were
six boilers at Lake OcOla, and seven kettles
made expressly for the purpose. each hold
ing two hundred gallons. They were in
the practice of turning out one hundred
and thirty bushels of salt daily. Besides
destroying these boilers, a large quantity of
salt was thrown into the lake. Two large
flat boats and six OK carts were demolished,
and seventeen prisoners taken, who were
paroled and released.
On the 10th of December, Acting Ensign
Edwin Cressy arrived at st. Andrews
Sound from the east pass of Santa Rosa
Sound, with the stern wheel steamer
Bloomer and her tender, the sloop Caro-
lima, having heard of the expedition to Lake
Ocola, and placed her command at the dis
posal of Acting Master Brown for more eX-
tensive operations near st. Andrews. Ac-
cordingly three officers and forty-eight men
were sent from the Restless and the Bloom
er, and she proceeded to West Bay, where
the rebel Governments salt works were
first destroyed, and wich produced four hum
dred bushels daily. At this place there were
twenty-seven buildings, twenty-five large
boilers and some two hundred kettles, aver
aging two hundred gallons each, all of
which were destroyed, together with five
thousand bushels of salt and some store
houses containing some three months pro-
visions-the whole estimated at half n mil
lion, From this point the expedition pro-
ceeded down the bay, destroying private
salt works which lined each side for dis
tance of seven miles, to the number of one
hundred and ninety-eight different estab-
lishments, averaging two boilers and two
kettles each, together with a large quantity
of salt. Five hundred and seven kettles
were dug up and rendered useless, and over
one hundred buildings were destroyed, to-
gether with twenty-seven wagons and five
large flat boats. The entire damage to the
enemy is estimated by Acting Master
Browne at S3,OOO,OOO. fhirty-one contra
bands employed at those works availed
themselves of this opportunity to escape,
and were of great service in pointing out
places where the kettles were concealed.
Acting Master Browne meanwhile, in the
bark Restless, ran up to within one thous-
and yards of the town of st. Andrews,
which had been reported by deserters to
him as being occupied by a military force
for the last ten months, and commenced
shelling the place. The soldiers made a
speedy retreat to the woods. The town was
fired by the third shell, and thirty-two
houses were soon reduced to ashes. No re-
sistance was offered throughout the affair.
Respectfully,
THEODORE BAILEY.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-On the 18th of
December the steamer Reuben captured
the British schooner Ringdove off Swanee
river Florida, with Il valuable cargo.
The following named gentlemen compose
the Finance committee of the Senate Mr..
Fessenden, chairman, and MesSrs. Sherman,
Howe, Cowan, Clark, Van Winkle and Con-
ness.
Nothing seems to be publicly known of
the arrangement recently effected by Gov
ernment authorities and Gen. Butler in re-
lation to the exchange of prisoners, further
than the fact that he has ample authority to
act in such manner rs will best secure this
desirable object.
New York, Jan. 6.-The Times special
from Washington says: A bill will soon be
introduced in Congress repeating that por-
ton of the Contiscation act which limits
possession of property sold to the natural
life of the owners. This step is considered
absolutely necessary to afford protection to
purchasers of confiscated property. In
Norfolk rebels whose property has been
confiscated, are returning in large numbers,
taking the oath of allegiance and reinstat-
ing themselves in their ancient comforts and
rights. .r.
Gen. Burnside has been ordered to New
York to await some sort of a command
which Is beng cooked up for him.
The Tribune's dispatch from Washington
says: At caucus of Republican members
ofthe Senate held after adjournment to-day,
proposition to reorganize the committee
on the Conduct of the War was discussed.
Major General Burnside did not leave to-
day, as anticipated, being detained in COM
pleting his report of operations while he
was in.command of the Army of the Poto-
mac. Rumor says the statements of the
General-in-C Chief, in his recent report, are
contradicted by facts and official dispatches
contained in the reports of Gen. Burnside
and the public will be satisfied. Statement;
made before the committee on the Conduct
of the War will afford sufficient vindica.
tion of Gen. Burnside.
The Worlds dispatch says: The COM
mittee on Ways and Means had the nava
appropriation bill under consideration to
day, and examined Commander Smith
Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks
at great length in regard to the appropria
tion for his branch of the service. Mr.. Leu
thall, of the Bureau of Construction, ha
been summoned to appear before them
also Mr.. Iskrod, Engineer-in-Chief. Th
