T RIPLE SHEET.
New York, Tuesday, October Is, 1861.
THE SITUATION.


slight skirmish occurred yesterday on the line
OF the Potomac, between a foraging party of the
Union troops, about three miles from Minors HILL
and band of rebel scouts consisting of infantry
and cavalry. Our troops opened o brisk fire
on the rebels, who took shelter in house
but q few shells from the batteries on
Minors Hill drove them out and sent them
scampering along the Leesburg road. y One of our
special correspondents, who rode along the lines
yesterday, reports the army in fine condition, ready
for action, but perfectly undisturbed by the
enemy.
The government has come to the determination
10 open and keep open the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad from Harper's Ferry to Wheeling, and
has detailed General Lander for that service This
measure will keep communication intact with our
forces in Western Virginia, and is an important
step.
Some Of the regiments at Jamestown, Maryland,
are preparing their winter quarters, erecting
stables for the horses and excavating cellars for
the protection Of their tents.
We learn from the Richmond papers that the
property of Northern men owned in Virginia.
which has been confiscated under the rebel seques
tration act since the 30th of September, amounts
TO $500, 900. Among the victims are August Bel
mont, c. M. Fry s. Co., Mrs. Sgourney and Francis
Rives, of this city; Chickering & Co. and William
G. Rives, Jr., of Boston.
Considerable trouble is said to exist among the
leaders Of the rebel camp, and the recent military
operations Of Generals Floyd and Wise have brought
these gentlemen into disgrace. The Richmond
Enquirer is particularly severe upon Floyd. It is
reported that John Sldell, of Louisiana, and ex-
Senator Mason, of Virginia, have been appointed by
the rebel government Commissioners to Paris and
London, and that they have actually taken their
departure in q vessel which ran the blockade from
some Southern port. This fact would argue that
the Commissioners already in Europe have been
unsuccessful in their mission.
General Fremont was. at last accounts, ready to
start from Jefferson City in pursuit of the rebel
Price, but was said to be greatly embarrassed for
want OF means OF transportation According to
the story of deserter from General Prices army
the latter was at Johnstown, Bates county pushing
on for the South. He says that the greatest dssats
faction exists among the rebels, and that many of
them would desert only that their officers have inn
pressed them with the idea that they will be in.
evitably hung as traitors if they are caught, and
have terrified them with stories of the horrible de-
predatons which the Union troops are committing
in Missouri.

The NEW YORK CUSTOM House APPOINT
MEN1s.-It is fortunate at this particular time
that the Collector of the New York Custom
House, Mr.. Barney, is not politician, but a
high minded gentleman, who has a single eye
to the proper performance of the business.
Hence in those changes which he has made lie
has merely got rid of political hacks, who were
inefficient in the discharge of their duties, and
has replaced them by men of business. Con-
sequently the business of the Custom House
never was discharged SO satisfactorily. The
surveyor Of the Port is among the APP
soininenh Of this character. But there

MOVEMENTS OF AN ENGLISH SPY AND MEMBER
OF PARIIAMENr.-We noticed about week
since the arrival at Richmond of q certain Sir
James Ferguson, member Of the British Parlia-
ment and bearer of dispatches from a rebel
commissioner in Europe to Jefferson Davis.
We felt justified, then, from the circumstances.
in denouncing him as a spy We are now the
more strongly convinceTof the correctness of
our views from seeing, by the Richmond Dis
patch Of the 10th inst, that the same titled indi-
vidual has taken his departure from that city,
probably on his return to England, and bearing
dispatches from the rebel government We
shall be much surprised if this man be allowed
by the Executive to travel through the loyal
States on his way to the port of embarkation,
even though he be member of the British Par
lament No position should shield spy from
arrest

The ARCTIC REGIONs-WHALrNG VERSUS SCrEN-
TIF1c ExPEDrToNs-The other day DR.. Hayes and
his exploring company returned from the Arctic
regions, after an absence from this country Of a
year and three months Yesterday we pub
lshed in our column of marine news the expe
riences Of two whaling vessels in the same latj-
tudes, and which sailed from New Bedford
about the same time that DR.. Hayes vessel
sailed from Boston. The experiences of the
whalers were as hard and as exciting as those
Of any Of the Arctic exploring expeditions.
They were frozen in from November till June
in Hudson's Bay, the thermometer during the
winter averaging from thirty-three to forty-five
degrees below zero, and once reaching the point
of fftysix degrees. But they got plenty of
whales, and, therefore, had prosperous voy-
age. After all, these are the sort Of expeditions
that effect the most results, either to commerce
or the science of geography. The great discove-
ries of the world have been made by merchant
men; and we do not know that our government
could invent better plan Of finding out all
about the Arctic regions than that of stimulating
the love Of enterprise Of the daring fishermen
Of New England.
