Nothing of note has occured today in the City. Arrests are made of Secessionists almost every day and many more might be made with propriety. The roads are getting better and exciting news is expected all the time from almost every point of the Compass. Went down on to the Ave this evening. “Holly” went with me. We were at Willards and the “National,” bot the papers, home at 8 o'clk. The north side of the Ave is crowded like Broadway, N.Y.
