THE SITUATION.
We received no official advices from General
McClcllan's army yesterday, but our sorrespon.
dence from Harrison's Landing. the James river
and Fortress Monroe, which is given in another
part Of to-day's paper furnishes interesting intel
ligence from the peninsula down to Friday last.
No important event had occurred. The rebels are
reported to have suddenly disappeared from in
front Of the lines Of General Mcclellan. This was
expected. as it is easier for the enemy to march
his forces to the vicinity Of Richmond than to
transport his supplies to the neighborhood Of
Harrison's Landing. The rebel batteries along
the James river continue to fire upon our vessels
passing to and fro, but yet serious result has
happened from it. It has been sscertained that
the rebels have at Richmond, nearly completed, .
dosting battery of light draught constructed on the
plan Of the Nerrimac. She Is expected down the
river In few days. Commodore Wilkes. We are
assured. viii be prepared for this new customer.
