The Potomac.
--The Washington Star, of Tuesday evening, says:
A gentleman who came passenger in the James Jerome from Philadelphia, that reached the Washington Navy-Yard yesterday, informs us, that after that vessel was brought to by Fort Washington on the evening before last, he came hither on foot from the vicinity of the Fort, and saw men busily engaged yesterday morning erecting a battery on the Maryland shore opposite the White House.
They were working under the protection of a troop of horse.
The U. S. steamers Anacostia and Pocahontas, the latter a vessel of some 1,800 tons, are now both at the Washington Navy-Yard, and are amply sufficient to keep the navigation of the Potomac open against any force that can possibly be brought to close it, for some time to come, we imagine.
