The Carondelet had not ascended Old river,
but hod remained at the mouth, while the gun

was Iron-clad, her brave commander and crew
determined. If possible, to stop thu course of

very brisk, but It soon became evident to Capt.

An order wa given to that effect, and the
Carandolet ran alongside her Iron foe, and a
number of brave fellows leaped aboard ; but
fiuding there was no apparent possibility of

though, In this Instance, valor did not obtain
its reward.

Although It bos occurred at a time when bis

Great Interest Is manifested In this must Im-
fiortant local Improvement. Tbo traok la now
aid qearly to tbe Circle except the curves on
Plftsenth street. These will tie nomnloted. we
understand, by to-night, and it Is expected that
to-morrow the oara will commence running
from the Capitol to the Circle. Mr. James II.
Upperman, who for firteen years has beon the
popular and efllcient agent of the omnibus
ooach line, has been appointed agent for the
Washington starting point near tha Capitol.
Complaint lim often been made In other cities
nn account of the Injury which the rails prn.
duce to prlvato vehicles. The trouble has been
that the carriage wheela when crossing tho
track diagonally would get caught between the
rails, and In some Instances an axle liaa been
broken by this means. This waa the complaint
against Mr. Train's oelebrated'rallway In Eng
land, and whloh caused It to be taken up. Dut
the rail here Is an Improved pattern not so
deep, and beveled on the Inside so that little
resistance to carriage wheela la felt. They
have now been laid long enough to test this
matter, and aa we bare heard no complaint ou
this score, wo conclude tbat they will operate
well.
