On Friday night, several bay and river craft, loaded with coal, wood, and oysters, passed the Confederate batteries on the Potomac, without being fired at, and arrived up on Saturday evening and yesterday. They report nothing worthy of note.
The U. S. steam tug Telegraph still lies submerged, in the dock at the foot of Prince street, and for the present all efforts to raise her have been abandoned. It is said that operations to float the tug will be resumed when the weather becomes more favorable.
The snow storm gave the river an unusually desolate appearance this morning.
