A reliable gentleman, resident of this
city, who has just returned from Washing
ton, states that when he left the Federal
capital rumor was prevalent and generally
credited that Major General Mcclellan, while
accommodating along the Potomac, and
brsvely and perhaps somewhat recklessly
exposing himself, had been captured by the
rebels. We sincerely hope that this may
not prove true, although, we repeat, our in
formant ia perfectly reliable gentleman.

FROZEN UP IN THE ARCTIC REGIoNs.-A
Peterhead England whaler, named the
Alert, has recently arrived in England, af-
ter winter involuntarily spent in the Arc
tic regions. The vessel was frozen up ear
ly last fall, at Kitterdan IsIand-the crew
being wholly unprepared to face the horri-
BILE rigors of the climate. One by one they
persisted from cold aud scurvy until, when
assistance reached them, only ten out of the
original crew of twenty remained, and they
were much enfeebled by disease. The cap
tain of the vessel reported that the Ameri-
can vessels,which wintered out had met with
poor success. Up to the middle of August
no whales had been caught in that quarter.
