Elsewhere we copy from Richmond papers | an extract announcing the capture of the rebel | iron-clad Atlantic, alias the Fingal. This 33 one of the most important capturesof the war. The Fingal was a new, splendid and large British steamer of 2,000 tons that had success- fully run the blockade into Savannah, and for the last twelve months the rebel government have devoted its energy to make her the most formidable iron-cladthey have ever attempted, and she Ho donbt was ‘superior to anything of the kind that has been prepared at the South. She has ‘been a scarecrew to all our wooden vessels of the blockading squadron at the South ever since she was completed, and it was well | understood that it was the intention whilst all our iron-clads ‘were engaged in the attack on Charleston to run her out to Port Royal and | destroy all the wooden vessels of war, transports and store vessels at that point. The pian was, however, frustrated by the short time the iron-clads were absent at Charleston, and by the precautionof Admiral Dupont, in sending back to Port Royal two of the iron-clads immediately after the attack on Charleston. . A short time since, Admiral Dupont receiv- ing information that the Atlantic (or Fingal) was about coming out to attack the woeden blockaders, immediately dispmtéhed the iron- clad Weehankeh, Captain John Rodgers, to their protection, tollowed by the Nahant, Vap- tain Downs ; and it is these two vessels, under the orders of Captain Rodgers, that have cap- tured her. It is probable that the Atlantic, relying on her great size, perfect equipment and general superiority, was the attacking party, for it is well known that the bottoms of all our iron-clads have become so incum- bered with grass and basnacies that their rate ot speed is very slow, and the Atiantic, fresh and clean out of port, could have readily Rvoided an action had she so desired; but the temptation to eatch two of our smaller iron clads, (the Weehauken and Nahant, being only about 200 tons,) and the confidence of being able to do so, was too much to be resisted. The rebels had expended $600,000 in altering, iron plating and equipping her, and her Poss to | them is irreparahle. Much interest will be felt to know the de- tails of this fight, for it is the first decisive one betwees iron-clads, and the first time in a na- valengagement in which the 15-inch guns haye been brought into action. The armament of the Weehawken and Nahant are each one 15- inch and oue Li-inch gun. The Atlantic, it is said, mounts If heavy guns, besides a very large pivot gun. YESTERDAY'S FIGHT. A commissary sergeant who arrived here last evening, reports the engagement as continuing offand on during the entire day and that du- ring it our troops were reinforced by some 5,000 cavalry and ‘2 pieces of artillery, The enemy | are also representedas having been heavily re- intorced trom time to time by means of which , they were ensbied to raily and renew the charge atter haying been several times re- pulsed. , Our cavalry @re reported as haying fought desperately—making 2 number of telling charges on the fee—and when their ammuni- tion was exbausted they resorted to theirsabres, and made dreadful hayoc among the «rebs” ma hand-to-hand fight. Thirty-five of our wounded reached here to-day, and were sent to the Ennory Hospital. ORDERED, Maj. J. Sailade, paymaster U.S. volunteers has been ordered to New Orleans. TrTE EGRAPHIC.

Thompson, ot the Rhode Island cavalry, who was among the missing atter the fight at Middleburg, arrived safely in camp. A portion of Gen. Stahl’s cavalry encoun- tered near New Baltimore the rebel cavalry pickets. Dismountinga portion of his men, with carbines, Col. De Forest threw them into the woods as skirmishers. He then tollowed up with his command. Suddenly the rebel eayvalry was discovered coming down on their right and left, and an effort was made by the rebels to get to the rear. DeForrest seeing his,chance of being cut off was great, fell back. One or two dashes checked the rebels. who did not fol- low, fearing our reinforcements. Another special Washington dispatch of the 2ist s#ys all indications are, the real design ot the rebel army ts to make an attack upon the capital from the Maryland side.

One of the wounds is in the breast, another near the shoulder, and the third in theface, Ferris, itis thought, is severely wounded, and his life may be indanger. He was made as comfo! as possible, however, and a surgeon from one of the forts is attending, under whose treatment itis to be hoped that hemay recover.

Pleasanton’s official report of his brilliant action of yesterday, it will be per- ceived that he drove the rebels through Ash- by’s Gap, six miles south of Snicker’s Gap, through which it was supposed here that they retreated. We question, from the tenor of his dispatch, whether any infantry to speak of, if any what- ever, was engaged on our side in that fight. With these exceptions, his report bears out our account of the battle published in to-day's first edition of the Star to the letter. As secesh is busy to-day with reports that there was fighting yesterday near Centre- yille, and that Hooker met with a reverse, it is proper to say that there was no fight- ing whateyer in that vicinity or at any point nearer than that mentioned in Gen. Pleasanton’s report, and which resulied with such brilliant success to our arms. American Silver. NEW YORK £ATZS—3 OCLOOK P. w.

The men, it seems, did not com- plain of the new scale of wages adopted by the Commission, which gave quite a liberal ad- vance, with but few exceptions on the old rates, but to the classification ot hands by the master workmen. —— CLosrp—Some eight or nine saloons in the neizhborhood of the Campbell Hospita!, were Picea! yesterday by order of the Proyust Mar- shal. A descent, last evening, by the Provost Guard, upon the saioons kept by Mrs. Rus- sell and Potentini, both on the Avenue, found them violating the Sunday law, and in conse- quence thereof, their places were closed and a guard placed upon the premises, a CONFISCATED.

From all we haye been able to learn, we telieve that of the 275 men and 20 officers with which Col. Dufie attacked the rebels on Thurs- day last, but 85 men and 7 officers are positively known not to have been killed or wounded, or made prisoners. If more do not shortly come in, this regiment will surely have been worse used up—from first to last—in the course ot the war than any other that has been in the service. ————~—____ Finep.—P.
