From the border. Freshet in the Potomac — the Chesapeake and Ohio Conal injured — the election, &c. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Shepherdstown, Jefferson Co., Va., November 8, 1861. Last Friday night (this night one week ago) this locality was visited by a tremendous gale of wind accompanied by a soaking rain, which comedown incessantly for twenty-four hours. The effect was a "booming river." The Potomac rose rapidly and soon overflowed its banks, carrying down the stream everything moveable it encountered. On Sunday, it was at the culminating point of its terrific grandeur, and I am pleased to say submerged the canal in many places, and injured that great artery of Federal transportation to a great extent. It has not yet been ascertained the amount of damage done the canal; but we know it to be broken at Dam No. 4; and judging from the number of boats now lying opposite this place, unable to proceed further, we are sure that the canal is material

them. It was the great feeder of the Federal Capital. For the past three months it has been literally lined with boats carrying immense quantities of coal to Washington and Alexandria; as also other boats heavily freighted with precious provisions for the hungry hirelings of Abraham. This canal was all-important to them, rendered more so from the fact that it had to supply the place of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It was the only medium of transportation between the Capital and Western Virginia, and other points. They appreciated its value, and sent soldiers to guard and protect it. But soldiers were of no avail. The power brought against it was mightier than bayonets, and sentinels challenged in vain; the rain descended, the flood came, and washed away the canal banks — and great was the wash thereof! The election passed off quietly in this county. A very small vote was polled.--This is to be regretted; for it was hoped that every voter remaining in the county would t

The election passed off quietly in this county. A very small vote was polled.--This is to be regretted; for it was hoped that every voter remaining in the county would turn out and swell the vote as much as possible for Davis and Stephens, thereby showing that we endorse the administration of the new-born Government. The meagre vote cast by no means indicates the feeling of the people. We all give a hearty approval of the acts of the Executive; and if the Yankees can get any comfort from the meagerness of the vote, and wish to try it on with the hope, of success, predicated on those grounds, they will "not only be deceived, but likewise sucked in."
