GEN. SUMNER-MEXICAN INTERVENTION
WASHINGTON, Nov. l7.-General Sum-
ner has not yet been assigned any command,
but in view of his long experience and ser.
vices in California, General Nc Clellan, who
was formerly Captain under him, will de-
tail him Immediately to some responsible
post.
Soon after the announcement was made
OF the contemplated Intervention by Egg
land, France and Spain in Mexican affairs,
our Government dispatched ship OF war,
commanded by an experienced officer, to
the Gulf to look after our interests; another
vessel was also dispatched up the coast to
TalpacU to prevent the transit of passengers
from The rebel government across that cOun-
try. and also to prevent the shipment OF
cotton, Sc. from the rebel states.
This wise precau.ion, it is said, has sud-
denly put stop to IN extensive traffic
which was about being inaugurated at about
the same time Secretary Seward sent re-
spectful communication to England, France
and Spain, respecting the alleged interven.
ton of those governments in the affairs Of
Mexico, but up to the last advices from
|. Europe. no satisfactory answer has been
received by our Government. They appear
to be quibbling upon this matter, and seem
disincl,ned to state their real objects and
designs. Our Government is keeping a
most vigilart watch, and will not permit
this formidable European combination to
make any advances or aggression on this
continent.
ARMY MATTERS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, Heintzelmans
pcKets extend to Accotlnk Creek, down the
river. No rebels have been seen by them
since the reconnaissance.
The President has appointed Lieutenant
Henry A. Wise, of the Navy, acting chief
of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydro
grapher in the Navy Department, during
the temporary absence of Captain A. Har>
wood.
1t is not believed at headquarters that
any considerable number of troops have
been withdrawn from the rebel army oppo-
site Washington, in consequence Of the inH
vasion of South Carolina. Beauregard has
not gone to Charleston as reported. The
rumor, however, which imputes to him an
inclination to resign unless more vigorous
policy be adopted in the conduct of the war,
is not without foundation.
On Saturday morning our army at
Budd's Ferry sent thirteen shells among the
rebels behind Shipping Point battery, driv-
ing them from the fortifcaton.
This afternoon 500 seamen, under COM
mand OF Captain Wainwright, took the
cars tor Cairo, where they will join Com.
