It was intended that the force thus deployed should capture the whole or a greater portion of the enemy’s skirmish line. At precisely twelve o’clock Duval moved his force to the front, and advanced in two bat- talion lines, keeping his men as much as pos- sible under cover, to prevent the enemy from ascertaining his strength or probable inten.

AS soon as the enemy’s Battery B, 5th States Artillery, commanded by Cap- tain Dupont, and Battery D, 1st Pennsyi: Captain Rosney, opened on them with marked effect, and an artillery duel ‘was commenced which lasted tor about twen- ty minutes, when the enemy’s battery was withdrawn. Our forces fell back, having ac- complished all that was intended, witn the exception of the capture of the enemy’s entire shirkmish line. We, however, took about thirty prisoners. It was no part of the General’s plan that they should bring on @ general engagement; on the the contrary, they received strict orders to avoid fighting as much as possible. The result of the reconnoisance established the fact that the enemy were still in our front in considerable force. The prisoners captured state that Rhodes’ and Ranseur’s divisions are detailed for picket duty in our immediate front, and the rest of the Confederate forces under Early are at Charlestown. They differ in their statements with respect to Lon, itively assert that he is here in others are equally confident that he is not here, but that two of his divisions have crossed, un- der command of Gen.

Arrival, Identification, Arrest Deten- tion of Muller, the Murderer. The packet ship Victoria, from London, ar- rived at quarantine last evening, after a pas- sage of thirty-eight days to this port, bringmg among her forty-eight passengers the London Tailway murderer, Franz Muller. According 2 ae srrangement, when the Victoria r the operator at Sandy Hook telegraphed the fact, ‘and the tolegrasa was transmitted without delay to Staten Island, where tor a fortnight or more Inspector Tan- ner, of the London detective police; an inspec- tor of police from Manchester, England; Mr. Death, tbe London jeweller to whom Maller sold the chain which he took from the person of his victim, and Jonathan Matthews, the cabman whose communication to the London police first gave them a clue, have patiently awaited the arrival of the accused. Promptly on the reception of the telegram from Sandy Hook, the London inspector, ac- companied by officer Tieman, of the New York de ective police, and Matthews, the cabman, (who went with them to identify Maller,) 68 ught the health officer, and when the Victoria dropped anchor at Quarantine they boarded h-r. The party then introduced themselves to Captain Champion, and were cordially wel- comed te his ship. He was glad to see them, he said, as from the time when on speaking @ pilot, he first learned that he had the murderer aboard, he had experienced an oppressive weight of responsibility, and so watchfal hed he been lest Muller should escape, that he had scarcely slept; and yesterday, when near the Lightship, an Sressaion party hailed his vessel with “How are you, Mulier, the murderer!” he knew that his passenger could no longer Rope to escape, and he was deeply cencerned lest Re ehould jump overboard and swim ashore, The captain adds that Muller was quite cheerful throughout the voyage, up to the time when he heard the excursion party's salutation; after which he became depressed, and made inquiries aboutthe islands, to which he seemingly desired to escape. The Captain then ranged his passengers Where the detectives might see all, and the officers, who hada photograph to guide them in their search, eld recognized the man that they sought, as well as did Mathews, the cabman. Muller was then arrested and taken to the cabin, and there informed of the charac- ter of the officers who surrounded him. He seemed inno wise disconcerted, and stoutly asserted his innocence. When asked how it happened that he had in his possession the watch and hat of Mr. Briggs, his victim (these Were found on the prisoner's person), he re- ve that when he was about to go aboard the Victoria he purchased them of a man whom he met on the pier, and he assured the officers that on returning to London he would prove analibi, and thus establish his entire inno- cence. The officers remained on board the Victoria, closely guarding their prisoner, until 6% o'clock this merning, when they chartered a tug and brought him to the city, taking him immediately to police headquarters, where he is now confined to one of the cells which are attached to the detectives’ office.
