NEW YoRK, Oct. l.

NEW York, Oct. 10.
The TriJums's despatch, IN speaking of the
engagement Of the Stminole with the rebel
battery yesterday, says the engagement last
ed one hour, the Seminole replying and
keeping her course, the batteries for some
considerable distance firing on her. Some
60 shot and shell were seen to burst and fail
around her. After her passing they opened
on an oyster sloop. They have some y
heavy guns in position, some riaed.
\ new battery with eight embrasures has
been discovered at Acquia Greek.
The Herald dispatch says that when Com
mander Craven arrived with the News of an
attack on the Seminole, the Pawnee was at
the Navy Yard destined for an expedition
down the river: but he ordered her to
remain until some decision was
made relative to this new battery.
1t is probable that large force will be
sent Immediately to dislodge the rebels
Our pickets extend beyond townsville,
where the rebels to-day are endeavoring to
dispute the ground, wcro driven back by a
gallant charge completely routing them So
that they did not make another appearance.
The rebels from Romney to-day destroyed the
bridge across the upper branch Of the Poto-
mac of the Baltimore & Ohio r. R. which
cost $50, 900.
\ contraband states that there are no
rebels this side Of Flint Hill, that the main
body of the rebels is on the line OF Flint
Hill, Fairfax Court House, and Fairfax
Station on the Orange & Alexandria R. R.
Gen. Bonham commands at Flint Hill and
Beauregard at Fairfax Court House.
1t is stated that the S. c. regiments have
left Beauregard, one of which was his
crack corps. 1t is the general impression
that the rebels contemplated an attack on
our right 1t is intimated that precautions
will be taken against the publication of
future movements Of the Naval expeditions.

Mcclellan s Energy.

There never has been so much quiet and order
in Washington, and so much industry and en-
trgy on tho part of the young Commander-in
Chief of the American forces. Glad to hear
what all men have to say-ready to receive
statesmen, editors, and politicians, he is careful
to avoid committing himself to {. revelation of
single one of his plans. You will observe that
nothing has been printed, either as to his pur-
poses or his opinions. His headquarters, at the
residence of Commodore Wilks, corner of Six.
teenth and Ii streets, is thronged with visitors,
and, though always busy, be is always ready to
receive intormation-no matter by whom presen-
ted. st.
His confidential aids are regular officers,
trained in many hard campaign and he has
at his side in his father -in-law, Col r. B. Mar
cy, U. s. A., safe, experienced and prudent
counsellor Every assailable point near the city
has been carefully guarded, with a silence and
Il rapidity that have infused confidence into all
classes The life of Gen. Mcclellan has been
double life. He has been an officer of the Army
and the head Of two great railroads.. thus he is
equally soldier and statesman He is enough
of martinez to insist upon discipline among
his men, aud sufficiently a politician to under,
stand the preudces and interests of the people
by whom he is surrounded. Hence thore is no
doubt that, while taking care to protect the
Capital, he will exercise a sleepless vigilance
over the traitors who nestle in our midst. The
arrest OF Faulkner was undoubtedly one Of his
suggestions, and any movements upon the dis
affected population hereabouts will not only
receive his sanction, but be pushed forward
with unrelenting vigor.
1t is worth recording that Gen. Mcclellan
knows Davis, Beauregard, Lee and Johnston
intimately. He knows their prejudices, their
habits, their theories and their abilities, and is
therefore their master, because, occupying a
position which will compel them to advance up
on him. he will be enabled to wait until they
have been exhausted by their own factions and
by the efficiency of the blockade. 1t is due to
Gen Mcclellan to add that no ono pays more
Difference to the opinions of the veteran Lieu
tenant General than hc does. He visits him
daily.
