Captain Sautss were before Yorktown with an immense

1RLEGRApHIc COMMUNICATIONS.
Since very carly hour on Saturday morning General
Mcclellan has been deprived Of his Geographic
nication with Washington. He abandoned Its
raj hours before the wires cut, doubtless being
fearful that the enemy might, by placing smagnot
the wire, read his orders. Direct communication Is
being opened with hia, however, BY gunboats up the
mouth OF the Chickahoniny and all will soon be right In
this respect.
