General McClellan and his staff will leave to- Borrow for Trenton, where he is ordered to report. The order was delivered to him by General Buckingham in person.

The latter positively refused to take command Bfter Pope’s defeat, and recommended the ap- pelotment of McClellan. As General Hooker is to take the field, it is sup- esed that he is to take Burnside’s place as late esommander of corps d’armee. ‘The radicals state here that many republicans @14 not goto the polls on account of McClellan Deing in command of the army. ‘The resnit of all the political demonstrations against McClellan is that a strong friend of the Aatter has been appointed in his place. , Great excitement prevailed in the city to-night te consequence of the report that General McClel- fan had been superseded in the command of the Army of the Potomac. It was known here that the radicals had boasted that McClellan was to be vemoved immediately after the New York clec- tion; but when the report became current it re. @eived but little credit, except among those who Gesired it to be confirmed.

Iu the hurry of my despatch yesterday regardjug the recounojssance through Snicker’s Gap, 1 was compelled to be brief. Too much credit cannot be given to the troops engaged, not only for their splendid daring und bravery during the recounoissauce, but before aud since the action. ‘This division was the ‘rst to reacd Snickersyille, others following. At four P. M. on Sunday the troops of this com: mand reached Snickereville, and thence proceeded at once to take possession of Snicker’s Gap. The gap is about @ mile from Snickersville and the road rocky, winding and wooded on either side, a8 mountain parses neually are. It was not known whother the enemy were in possession of ‘he pase or uot. The presumption was that they were there in considerable force, ready to dispute the advance Of our troops, as they could not fail to kuow the import- ance of holding it aa @ strategical point to prevent our troops eat the Shenandoah valley beyond. Our men were ready for any emergency that might arise, Caritiously and yet boldly they puthed their way up the rugged mountaju read. Near the evmumit on this side the read was Milled with tr which had been felled by the enemy, evidently to prevent any sudden dash of our cavalry or flying artillery upon them from this direc . The obstructions were soon cleared, aud the column red on, General Sy renal when accompauying command, leading them in 7 Attaining the height of the mountain, they came in sight of the enemy coming up the road leading from Castleman’s Ford. There were fully fourteen regiments of rebel infuutry aud a cavalry regiment. “We will feel of tho tid Captain Weed, of Wee's battery. “Give it to them !"" said our General, And Captain Weed did give it to them. Wheeling his pieces into position, he dropped a shell right into the front of their column, This piece ho sighted bimertf. ‘This sudden projectile, with its scattered fraginent« deal. ing death in every direction, broke the front column of the enemy, and they commenced scattering. Quickly the other guns wore sighted, snd a terrile volley of chell was poured junto the rebel ranke. ‘They did not stop to return the compliment, but, turning their backs on cur wen, beat & precipitate retreat back to the ford, thence crossing to the other side of the Shenandoah river. At our tirst tire the enemy was within threo-queriers of azile of us. The fring from our guns was kept up briskly uutil the enemy reached the opporite river bank. Our firlag conticuet fally twenty iainutes, and the loss of the exerny to killed and wounded must have becn considerable.

Until dark General NeClelian rode aboutthe top of the mountain, taking through his Gold glass observations of the position and strength of the encmy, It vrae a beanti- ful and picturesque sight~ruch a one as has not been witnessed in the progress of this rebeliion bitherto. On two sides of the mountain range, as far as the eye could extol, were to be seen —s camp res, their brilliancy dimmed into pootic beauiy by the hazy moonlight. On one side the camp fires were those of our own troops, and on the other those of the enemy— two immeonse armies in eiose proximity—separated by a huge mountain barrier, The peaceful fires ‘a forth no token of the fiery cumity burning in the bresste of the reat contending artaes euckmped so near cach other. Night came on, and this commant encamped on the mountain summit, aud Goyeral McClellan withdrew to bis headquarters to carry out the plans of the campaign, baving frat given ye directions as t the disposi- tion of pickets for the night. " Yesterday there was @ reeomnolssance by this division. Tt was a daring and brilliant affair. Everything was ac- complished that our men sot out to do, and it will har the degired effect on the future movements of our army. Had the enemy beld the gap it would have serious im- terfored with these troops co-operating with others. The ap is otili held by our treops.

Jt is sufficiently interest ‘ng to allow me to dwell alittle upon iis deseription, Towards noon it becaine ovident thatthe activity which has characterized our movements since leaving Pleasant valley was to be pursued, and goon regiment afior regi- ment, brigade after brigade, and division after division marched out from their camps in the woods and fields, and forming along tho road ouce more resumed the jour’ ney. Pi ig through the outskirts of the town of Union our ears were smitten wilh the sound of cannen and the shrill report of bursting shelty, telling us p'ninly that our cavalry and artillery advance bad also taken up the word “Forward!” and were driving the rebels before us.

One feature of the day certainly deserves passing consideration, After leaving the town ‘of Union it became necessary that the corps should sepa- rate by divisions, and take different roads to thia point, in order that the whole body might be massed here at sunset. Accordingly the divisions parted from each othor, and the men, on turning into déMerent roads, naturally Be- Kieved they were bound to different points. What was* their surprive then at evevingto find themselves all coming together again. At sight of each other they barst into Jomd cheers, which made the welkin of tho Blue Ridge ring and riug again. I happened, at the time, to be on an ewimence overlocking the neighborhovd, where 1 viewed the conyerging coluinns winding their way through the woods and along the roads, their bayonets glistening like sireams of silver in the Inst rays of the sun; the long strings of wagons behind, Mike white ribbons, etreiched throngh the forests cf autumn, gold and green—ail couspired to illustrate in-no smnall degrea the ‘pomp and glorious circumstance of war,” and form a pleture the beauty of which 1 will not goon forget. And when night camo the splendor of the scene had not faded; for the bright, crackling flames of the bivouac fires shooting up among the trees and illuminating the woode, took the place of the long lines of blue and steel, and, tracing these fires, one might now tell whore those marching columns bad soeght repose. The lastfow nights bave beon bitterly cold, and the soldiers’ occupation (and for that matter, too, the arm: correspondents’) is not just now couleur de rose. Will novght but the ground and tho leaves for a bed, the keen, piercing air of there November nights finds its way in A most wnceremonious manner to the very marrow of all who sleep out of doors, even with the shelter of a tent. This last is a comfost which I observe, the soldiers are apt to deny themselves under the present circum- stances. Tired withthe @ay's march thoy wait only to build a fire, and then wrapping themselves in a blanket go to sleep ‘within the circuinference of its warmth. Jt is hardly necessary to say that scimething different from the usual every day skirmishing of the present time is anxiously looked for by our troops. Butso far the ene- my do not appesr to oppose eur progress with any force. From the fact that their cavalry in ail iustances endeavor to support the artillery and cover its retreat, it is con- jectured that they have no infantry force this side of the Blue Ridge, or botwecu here apd Manassas, 60 wo may, after all, have to give them battlo in their chosen passes, where the advantages will all be on their side, We are alzo anxiously looking forward to a junction with othor forees, who will, uo doubt, turn up in the right time. , ‘A house near Upperville, the Pletcher mansion, sus- tains the marks of yesterday's skirmishing.

Fach of these gentlemen is impressed with the idea that his persoval clams are the etrongest, avd that the pubtic good would beet be pro” tected under bis individual administration, The plan- Div eming and wire pulling going on js something tremendous, Next in importance to the Comptrotiership is the office of Corporation Counsel. ‘A number of citizens haye mado up their mindg that Mr. Richard O'Gorman ebail succeed Mr. Brenson as civic counsellor, no matter whut arrange ments the powers of St. Tammany and Mozart may agreo upon, But “the machine’? is said to be undergoing oiling for another purpose, diametri- cally opposed to the wishes of the aforesaid citizens. George C. Genet, one of the lights of Mozart, and at pro- sent Corporation Attorney, ia cn ono of the siates as the candidate, On the other Mozart slate is John H, Hackett, whose euperior claima with the democracy mako hima formidable opponent. The two bravches of the democ- racy, having pulled go we!l together in November, have continued their partuership in the spoils, with a view to victory in the December clection.Q Tammany this time gets the big prize—the Comptroller—while Mozart con tents herself with the Corporation Counsel. This is aup- posed by the managers to insure the nomination of Hackett. or Genet. ‘There © a number of Aldermen—eight in all--to bo » Mest of the old members are candidates for re-election.

Her Trip from Alexandria to this Port, Carrying Sick and Wounded Soldiers ler Experience in the Late Severe Storm—She Puts into Port in Distress and Short of Supplies, déc., &e. The steamship Danicl Webster, Captain Blethen, from Alexandria for Portemouth Grove, R. 1., put into this port yesterday, having experienced the late gale, and becom ing short of fuel. From a person on board we havereceived the following sketch of the trip:—Left Alexandriann the dth inst. at half-past nine o'clock P. M., with a load of sick and wounded soldiers for the military hospital at Portsmouth, Grove, R. I. Having been obliged to Iay at anchor in the Potomac river most of the night, did not pass Cape Henry until Wednesday, 6th inst., at ten o'clock P. M. the wind at this time blowing fresh from southeast. At one A. M. on the 6th it hauled to northwest, and increased to @ terrible gale, with squalls of rain. At six P.M. passed the light ehip off Cape May. By midnight the wind had hauled to the northeast, with greator force, At two A. M. on the 7th was off Absecom light, the gale in creasing with heavy rain squalls, At seven A. M. blow- ing a violent gale, which increased iv force until five P. M., accompanied with torrents of rain, the eea running very high, and breaking over the veesel in all dirco- tions, stavivg the guardhouses, and throwing every- thing about decks into dicorder; water in large quantities found its way into the cabin and steerage. At this time the gale began to abate, ana continued to moderate through! the aight, thougl blowing heavily until two A. M. on the 8th. The bedding and evorything clse on board being satu. rated with water, and the supply of coal not being deem- ed sufficient to carry the vessel to her intended pert, with the concurrence of the officers of the vessel, the surgeon in chargo, Dr, Nelson 8. Drake, ordered the ves- 1 to this port. At balf-past nine A. M. ake, fell in with the Sandy Hook lightship, which had boen blown from her moorings at half-past twelve P. M. tho day previous. Took her in tow and brought her to this port. Too much credit cannot be awarded to Captain J. Ti. Blethen, Commander: Mr. James H. Sherman, Chief E gincer; Uaptain 8. H. Chester, Pilot, and to the whole crew of the vessel, for their untiring vigilance and severe exertions during the whole gale. ‘The soldiers, many of whom had never been at sea be- fore, though nearly all of them very sea sick, behaved with romarkable fortitude. ‘The ship cannot be too highly lauded for her seaworthy qualities, and the engino, although her fircs were nearly drowned out several times, wae, by the masterly mauage- meut of Chief Fagioeer Sherman and his assistants, still enabled to hold the vessel's heud to the gale and s the Daniel Webster baz outridden gale which, in ite violence aud continuance, is rarely met with on this coast, nad a sea which Captain Biethen, iu an experience of thirty years, says he does not remember to have sccn surpassed to ce. Tn consequence of the great confusion on board, Mr. H. K. Starkweather, the very eflicient Commissary, was not able to take a list of the sick and wounded. ‘On November 8, Michael Cassly, Coxswain on the United : mortar schooner ¥. A.
