NIGHT ATTACK ON sEABROOK.

NIGHT ATTACh ON SNAo1Noo>'
On Thursday morning at lit lie be-
fore three o'clock, after our regular edi-
ton had gone to press, an attempt was
made on Seabrook, by a large force Of
rebels. who came down the Chickhassee
river in boats. Col Howell, the efficient
and ever-watchful commander of this
District had passed the point, scarcely
more than an hour before, on visit to
the pickets, and found them on the alert,
using all the proper precautions for a
night guard at an important position.
The rebels approached Seabrook in
two large boats, filled with men, evident
" sent forward to reconnoiter, with
numerous reserve force further back, to
cooperate in case our pickets should be
found mapping, or any points exposed.
One of the boats cane down to the
mouth of Skull Creek, where they at
tackled a picket boat, containg Corpo-
raj and four men of the 10th Pennsylva-
MIA. They first fired three shots and
then a whole volley, and succeeded in
capturing the boat and those in it,
after a severe hand to hand fight.
whether there were any casualties could
not be ascertained. Further on, meet
ing an unexpected resistance, they re-
treated. The other boat came down to
small creek, which runs around to the
rear of Seabrook which they evidently
expected to find unguarded, as it is only
nayigable at high tide. They however
encountered the picket Of the 10th, on
shore, who challenged them, and then
gave them full volley, which seems to
have taken them by surprise, done good
execution, and created much consterna-
ton. The steersman yelled out, "Back
starboard! Pull port! For Gods sake
let us get out of this !" The order was
obeyed with alacrity. Just then a signal
rocket was sent up from point a short
distance up the river, whereupon both
boats retired with all possible speed.
The sound Of many oars and of voices,
from where the reserve force was station
ed. could be distinctly heard by our
pickets, as all the boats pulled of, ap-
parently in accordance with the signal.
It is evident that the rebels designed
the destruction of Seabrook, and of the
vessels there coaling, with the capture of
the force which holds it. Possibly their
plan of operations was on still larger
scale, and contemplated also the accom-
plishment of more important objects.
But for the faithfulness Of the pickets, it
is very probable they might have done
us considerable injury, however foolish
their main designs were.
Too much praise cannot be awarded
to Col. Howell, whose vigilance has been
unceasing ever since he has had COM
mand of this District. Col. Campbell, OF
the 10th, commanding the outposts, also
deserves much credit for the excellence
of the precautions he had taken.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago T1tbune.l
ST. LOUIS, Monday, June 20. 1851
Considerable excitement prevails In Jeffer-
eon county, adjoining st. Louis, caused by
residents, threatening their lives, and by
horse stealing. Rebel guerillas are at the
bottom Of this, who hsve adopted this mode
to ward of suspicion
Last week man known as deserter was
arrested by United States detectives at Lex
ington, who had suspicious aroused by his
movements before leaving st. Louis. He
went up on the steamer Paragon from this
city, and had over 81, 900 worth Of quinine,
besides having considerable in st, Louis
awaiting his orders. It is supposed that this
is but one case Of many Of smuggling now
going on TO supply the Southwestern rebel
troops with neces6aries.
Reports from Rolla state that seyenty-ave
rebels ran into Melville, Dade county, on
Tuesday last, burned the place and killed
four citizens, one Of whom was youth.
About one week ago party Of bushwhack-

It is to be REGRETTED that our advance was
not pushed forward on Wednesday afternoon,
Nise's brigade alone held the town until tie
; In the evening, when Lees army commenced
arriving. Portions Of his army marched
from Malvern Hill, crossing the james River
on lontoons above Fort Darling, while many
we're dispatched by the Petersburg Railroad.
Our line. as now formed fac=s the city from
the east and south, partly encircliny 1t, and
extends across the Ctr Point Railroad south
ward to the vicinity Of the Petersburg and
Norfolk Railroad. Burnside holds the left
Of our line, Hancock the center aud Smith
the right. The remainder Of the troops ar-
rived to-day, and will be assigned their po-
sitioDe.
No one doubts that Lee will defend Peters,
burg. Our troops. nevertheless, are conf
deut Of final success.
HEADQUARTERS NEAR PETERSBURG, June
16.-Contrary to expectations, no general
engage ment occurred yesterday, although the
fighting on our left WIS at times very 1eaTy.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The general belief
among members Is that Congress- will 3D.
1ourn In about ten days: The House will sit
for business every night, and prob 1b1y the
Senate also. The tariff and internal revenue
bills are the most Important pe.diug.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has accepted
all bids for the bonds Of 1881 at per cent
and upwards, and declined all others.
New York, June 1s-The folio wing are
from fridays Washington dispatches:
enty five million loan will, 1t Is understood,
be given out By the Secretary at 4 per cent
premium to thoee who wish it.
There are upward Of two hundred and If
t. applicants for the Consul -Genernlship to
Canada, Of whom forty-two are from Ohio.
1t will probably be given to Sam. Galloway.
Mr. Hei6tand having withdrawn his bid for
the Overland Mail contract to California. the
next lowest bidder being Ben. Hon ,day, the
eontract has been awarded to him By the
Postmaster General at $6o0,000. This puts
an end to the matter, and avoids the necessi-
~ 81 any legislation In the premises
we understand that q week or two ago
Col. Dc Cbanaland and Capt Guzmau a.
rived in this country from France. whence
they had been sent here by their Government
to report on anything which they might
deem worthy Of notice relative to military
science and af1aIEs- It will be recollected
TINT our Government sent similar commits
sion to the Cr1mea during the late war in
that quarter. The arrival Of these officers
probably occasioned the recent statement
that the French Government has dispatched
agents hither with a view to Intervention OF
mediation.
The readtpg Of Secretary Stanton's dis
patch to the House this morning, announc-
ing the taking Of Petersburg, was marked
by the most astounding exhibition Of tenn
per and policy that has thus fur blotched our
prosecution Of the war. The news Was re-
ceiVed with Joy full applause On the Admfnis-
tration side Of the hall, with burst of dc.
light that Interrupted the reading Of the dis
patch. Tue Democratic side of the House
sat silent and sullen, four members only ex-
hibftiug any pleasurable emotion at the feat
OF arms with which Grant crowned his mar
yelors transportation Of the army across the
James River.
An apology WAS sought for this unpatriot-
ic silence and sullenness In the shame OF the
Democrats at the fasltlcation of their persis~
tent declarations on the floor OF the House
that the negro would not fight. 80
