fort of the Fedcrals to take Richmond and
destroy Con. Lees army is impending, and
the clash of arms may have taken place ere
this. We do not place any reliance in the
dispatch from Chattanooga that Mcclellan
and Lee have had a general engagement
Had such been the fact, our Richmond dis
, patches Of the 18th would have said some
thing about it.
The Northern dispatches announcing
that dispatches of the gravest Importance
were submitted TO Secretary Seward BY the
French Legation, look ominous, and would
seem to indicate that there is something in
the late news Of foreign intervention.
We have nothing from Charleston, Savan-
nah, or Mobile, but the enemy seem to DC
concentrating their forces in lower Viz
ginia, and on the South side of James Riv-
er, seeming to threaten Petersburg, while
a strong gun-boot expedition is said to be
advancing up James River. We think we'
shall hear of terrible battle for tie pos.
session of Richmond within very few
days. Should that fail, the aboltionisrs
can make no more effort against our Capt.
tol this winter, and their compaign be-
come failure. Such n failure would be
the winding up of Lincolnism, and would
result We think, in our complete and prompt
recognition by European powers.

boats yesterday had a brush with Capt
Alstons battery, below Georgetown. The
Smelling continued two hours. No damage
done on our side.
RlcnMoYp, Now 12.-The interest of tho
moment is absorbed in the movements If
Lee and Mcclellan. Many believe that the
advance of the Northern army of the Poto-
mac was intended rs II blind 10 more serl-
Gus designs elsewhere. 1t is confidently
reported that the enemy is assembling
large army at Suffolk. Serious movements,
therefore, By Suilolk-supportcd by the
feet in James river, through SGuthside
county, is not unlikely. The Examiner
says the hope of conQuerinG peace on the
Potomac must fer SOME time he given up
but that n darker day has been suddenly
turned to light The Wing says We must
confront the hosts of the enemy with the
largest force we can bring into the field, or
we must surrender Of opr cities to the
ravages and brutalities of an uyaricious
foe
