sion OF the center building, on the east. to the
line OF the new wings, becomes an architectural
necessity. L have prepared plans for thus
completing the work, in harmony with what
has already been done, and will place them in
the Capitol for future reference.
81 do not suppose, nor would recommend,
that any any action be taken by Congress, in
reference to such an improvement until the
war is ended and the financial condition OF the
country becomes settled and prosperous: but,
inasmuch as it Is my purpose to retire from the

it incumbent upon me TO leave upon record my
views to their final completion.
''Patent Office Building.-The tiling OF the
North Saloon has been completed, also tho
plastering. The wood work of the cases has
all been prepared and deli sered; the sash hes are
all glazed, and the iron pilasters, stair ways,

"North Front.-By an act of Congress ap-
proved July Q, 1864, the sum OF S35,O00 was
appropriated for finishing the Patent Ohict
building In view of the lateness OF the sea-
son, and the strike of the stone-cutters, which
took place on the 1st of August ii was dee m ed
advisable not to urge the contractors TO a gem

gress made.

GUERRILLAs ON THE POTOMAC.

We learn from Major Andrews, VINO COM
mands the guard picketing the Potomac from
the Great Falls to the mouth OF the Monocacy,
that the guerrillas who infest the banks Of the
river have become very troublesome OF late,
and that hardly . night passes without their
firing upon our pickets or making an attempt
to cross the river at some point.
On Monday night, while Major Andrews
mail carrier was conveying the mail from
camp to Pooesyille, he was fired upon from
the Virginia shore, and ball passed through
his hand. shattering 1t in a frightfnl manner.
On the same night the camp Of the 1st Della
ware cavalry was fired upon by Bushwhack-
ers on this side Of the river, who appear to be
operating with White by signaling to him from
the Maryland side In the neighoorhood Of
Rockville.
Wednesday night q party OF fifteen rebels
crossed the Potomac on raft, in the vicinity
OF Pooiesville, On q chicken-stealing expedi.

The debate in the Senate to. day on the joint

of the prominent Senators participating in the
discussion. The belief is generally entertained
that the resolution will not be adopted the
Military Committee having some time since
made q unanimous report against the measure,
and large number Of the Senatoys expressed
their objections to it. An effort was made to
save the resolution by postponement, which,
at the time OF going to press, had not sue

THE CAPTURE OF MosBY's MEN-PATRIoT.
&c YOUNG LADIES.

Yesterday we made mention OF the capture
of ten OF Mosby's men, who crossed the Poto-
mac near Darnestown, for the purpose, 1t was
supposed, Of cutting the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. They were taken prisoners by the
LIST Delaware cavalry and afterwards conveyed
to the Relay House.
1t appears that two young ladies, (whose
names we failed TO learn } residing in the vi
cinity Of Sugar Loaf Mountain, having been
Informed that gang Of Mosby's men had
crossed the Potomac and were then in the vi
cinity OF Sugar Loaf procured a couple of
horses and rode to one of our picket posts Of
the 1st Delaware cavalry, and notified them Of
the fact. The commanding officer OF the 1st
delaware at once selected party and started
In pursuit. The result was the capture Of the
entire party. The two young ladies certainly
deserve great creditor their patriotic behavior
In this affair.
These guerrillas were brought to this city
this morning and committed to the Old Capitol
by Col. Ingraham. They belong to the 1st
Maryland (rebel) cavalry, and all Of them
claim to be privates, but it is known to the
authorities that there is one captain and two
lieutenants among them.
