From McCleIIam's Army.

FROM the movements OF the enemy laSt
night, and from information received from
contraband, general engagement was looked
for. This morning the troops were all un
der arms at daylight, and every thing in
readiness, but after slight demonstration
by the rebels and finding themselves prompt
ly met at every point they retired to their
old position.
A terrible storm visited this section last
night lasting about three hours. The wind
blew a hurricane, leyelling tents and trees in
every direction.
Richmond papers complain of the large
price paid Tor substitutes in the rebel army,
many OF whom immediately desert. They
mention instances where as high as $l7 and
$40 has been paid.
The action Of Col. Rufus Ingalls, at White
House, in causing the arrest OF some so Of
the most prominent citizens remaining in the
rear Of our army, is having most salutary
influence on those who now stay. Ten arrests
were made yesterday in the neighborhood OF
New Kent Court House and Charles City,
and the arrested parties sent to Fortress
Monroe.
There has been less skirmishing for the
last twenty four hours, than there has been
since the battle OF Fair Oaks. ...s q.
The condition Of the swamp for an encamp-
ment has rapidly improved within the last
few day. .ssyes.
The movements or the enemy to. day have
been mysterious. Their pckets at some
points have been drawn in half mile, while
at others they remain as usual The ground
vacated by the enemy is now held by our
troops.
Richmond papers Of to-day speak OF the
arrival of Gen. Price, No mention is made
of the whereabouts of Beauregard's army.
