dispatches were received, to-day. at the
War Department, from General Mcclellan:
At about one half hour after midnight.
the enemy attacked Gen. Smiths position.
and attempted to carry his guns. Smith re-
pulsed them handsomely, and took some
prisoners. have no details yet 1 will
forward them as soon as my aids return.
The firing was heavy. All is now quiet
Ny position, occupied yesterday by Gen
Smith. was entrenchei last night, so that
we have been able to prevent the enemy
from working to day, and kept his guns 81
lent. There was the same result at the bat
teries at Hymn S Mills, Yorktown, which
shelled our gunbOats and some of our barges
to day, without effect. There was a good
deal of firing from the Yorktown land bat
teries. Geo. B. Mcclellan.

Che Light Of the New Day.

On the 10th Of April, 1862, President Lincoln,
having approved and signed returned to Congress
the bill Immediately abolishing Slavery in the
District Of Columbia. Thus has been perfected
and put upon the statute-book Of the Republic
a wise and penefcent act, an act Of justice to
men, women and children who were held in
Slavery in violation Of the vital principle upon
niich We achieved our National independence,
and Of the Fundamental idea upon which Re-
publican Governments rest for their Justification.
And il isnot only an act Of Justice to the slaves
it i, q fttiug and timely recognition Of the over
wbolmiug sentiment oi the great majority Of the
loyal men Of The Nation. Politicians have for
yours prevented the passage Of this most de-
sirtbla measure. While those who arc now
rebel. had political power in the Government,
they never filled, by one device or another, by
ai4.miag the fears of The timid, and brIbing the
cuuidity Of The yenal, to command in the
National Congress an opposition to the meas
urc that could not be overcome. Bat tie VIC
tory has at last been gained. And let no man
deny, now or hereafter, that il is a triumph Of
.ho principles Of the Republican, party. 1t is
also a triumph OF tie principles Of the Dcclar-
ALTON OF independence. And it is triumph Of
humanity, The Nation, thank God, IS citing
back to the old ways. IN the National Capital
again IS the principle recognized ana emphasized
that al men are created equal, and endowed by
their Creator with certain inalicnable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. This Is now a LAW OF the Ma
ron, however, heretofore, !, may have been con-
v%eniont to style it a glittering generality.

Tie FREsmEr,-from all quarters we get
news Of damage by high water. The Burling
ton Times says that the track Of the Rutland
end Burlington Railroad is washed away in
several places, so that twill be some days before
the trains will run regularly. The New York
mail, due in Burlington Saturday evening, had
not arrived Monday morning. Otter Creek was
never higher than ut present. At Middlebury
the water was as high as the railroad bridge.
The Tines adds
Among the mills swept away by the food,
not before mentioned, are Weston saw-mill on
ADDER brook, in Essex, and Naramore's saw
mill in Charlotte.
At Bellows Falls the houses in the lower
part of the qiilage have been submerged to the
second story Windows. One large, good looking,
two. story hoese came down the Connecticut and
went over the tails. Miles Of the Sullivan and
of the Rutland and Burlington railroad are
under water. NJ much damage has been done
on the Northern road, that it is thought no
train viii be run over the road fer some days.

The partisan warfare over Mcclellan has taken
a new form, The papers that have been the
most ardent in their worship Of the General, are
doing him Il damage now by q discounting J" for
him a defeat in advance, and making it the
ground of an assault on Secretary Stanton. II

aspirations that a brlIliant success OF Gen. Me-
Clellan 10 the field would disarrnnge, and that
to PUG tie General out Of the way as % candidate
for the Presidency IN 1861, Secretary Stanton
las done what was possible for him IN the War
Department to do, TO SO strip Gen. Mcclellan
OF troops as to peril his success, Or insure bis
defeat before Yorktown,
It would be well for the ~assallers Of Secretary
Stanton 10 take home to themselves q little Of
the advice they so freely bestowed, a few weeks
since, upon everybody who was so unfortunate
as not to see their General through their spec
lacles. Mcclellan was complained Of for his
inactivity, and for his delay in making use Of
the army Of the Potomac, but the most mallg
nant Of those wh3 did not approve bis policy,
never suggested that lie was conspiring to bring
about the defeat Of any OF the Generals in the
