WASHINGTON, March 28, 1865- 10 a. m.

Brigadier General R. INGALLS, City point:

We have bvarely enough rolling- stock of narrow gauge to do the work o roads in operation in Virginia. For the roads in North Carolina we have thirty locomotives and 350 cars of five- feet gauge, for which we have been trying to procure trasportation since the 10th of February. Of tis number ten locomotives and seventy- two cars have been shipped to Morehead City and the remainder are being shipped as fast as trasports are provided, the intention being to change the gauge of the road and use five- feet rolling- stock. The guage of the road can be changed its entire length in from tow to three days, and we shall then have ample rolling- stock without stripping the roads in Virginia. There are at New Berne five locomotives in working order and eighty cars of four feet eight and a half inch gauge, and no more of this gauge on the way. We can, if desired, ship from Alexandria three to five locomotives and, say, fifty cars of narrow gauge, for if an emergency requires we can strip the Orange and Alexandria road and send three times the above amount of narrow- guage stock.

D. C. McCALLUM,

Brigadier-General, &c.

General D. H. RUCKER:

General Sheramn wishes to have fromtwenty to thirty barges or cannal-boats, with tugs of proper draft of water, to trasport supplies from Morehead City to kinston and afterward in the Chowan. He wants them at onc, e if practicable, as the railroad is not sufficeiently effective. These boats should be sent by the canal. Those used by General Abbot for siege ammunition cannot be sapred.
