The list of killed aud wounded proves our lose to be heavy in the three engagements, particularly in general officers, ‘The reconnoissance in large force made by the army of General Peck on Sunday from Suffolk, under Generals Getty and Harlan and Colonels Stevens and Dutton, for the purpose of ascertain: ing the position of the enemy on the south side of the Nansemond, and learning whether General Longstreet had withdrawn to aid General lee, resulted in avery serious and sharp encounter with the rebels. in which our troops did valiant service, The gallantry of the officers is described as magnificent.

The arrest of the Hon. Clement L. Vallandig- ham, at Daytow, Ohio, by @ posse of soldiers sent from Cincinnati yesterday for that purpose, has created considerable excitement in both cities. A stubborn resistance was made at Mr. Vallandig- pam’s house before his person was secured. ‘The fire bells were then rung and an attempt was made by his friends to rescue him, but-without success. He was ‘carried off to Cincinnati! An imménse mob then assembled in, Dayton, cat the’ telegraph wires and set fire to the office of the Journal, a radical paper. The telegraph office was closed for fear of an attack by the. people.

Sunday af- ternoon, at which time there appeared to be general suspension of hostilities.. The ‘tremen- dous efforts of the enemy to turn or, double up theright wing of General Hooker had fiited. The position thus secured to our army by the assault upon the enemy of Saturday night and by their repulse on. Sunday morning was * strong one, and our troops were rather anxious than otherwise for another rebel attack. Mean- time on their left, and’ within supporting dis- tance, the corps.of General» Sedgwick” was in pation of the heights of Fredericksbwig. us it will be seen that on Sundayafternoon the general situation of things was in our favor. But we have every reason to believe.thut the fighting was: resumed.on Monday; norcan, we doubt that had the issue of the day’s work been & Union victory, we should” have heard of it. The results’ of tho: day’s operations may have ‘been indecisive. We hope that they were, at least: to some extent, to the advantage of our army, We have reason, however, to ‘appre- hend; that reinforeements-may have reached Lee from Richmond, and that.on Monday in re- newed strength he may have resumed his efforts against the columns of his adversary. We have positive information that’ the rebel forces which but the other day weré so mumcrops and ine- nacing in North Carona and ‘near Suffolk have almost wholly disappeared, andthey may, pcr- haps, have: strengthened Li¢e'to the extent of thirty or forty thousand men. But how easy it would have been for the o3- ininistration at Washington, in support of Gen. Hooker’s advance, to have moved down over- land from Manassas .by rail a-body of fifty or vena hundred thousand, men upon Gordons- ville, and how completely this. supporting col- umn, would’ have ‘séttled “the question the feast informed of our’ readers’ upon imili- tary affairs can now understand. ‘We believe, too, that at least fifty thousand men, could have been'spared for this enterprisé from Bal- timote, Washington, and: from round ‘about | 10 Norfolk and Yorktown, without serious damage Meantime to anyof those »pésitions.

But, conjectnres and speculationy ‘are idle, when facts whigh will seatter all conjectures to” the winds. ‘@overnor Seymour, the Broadway Rait« road and the Se of the Hoar, The people in this city are just now laboring: under a wonderful state of ex¢itement, The bulls and bears of Wallstreet were yesterday rushing to and fro, with paleandagitated faces, as though they expected the next “moment would be their last. A few gathered around the bulletins of the several daily papers to Jearn the latest news of the day, and after read- ing the flaming beadings turned away in disgust, murniuring that there was no news from the fight in Maryland. There are, in fact, three events which just now agitate the public mind, and upon which bets are being made.. First, we have the con- test going on between the two armies on the other side of the; Rappahannock. This of itself seems to attract no particular attention. Then we bave the Broadway Railroad, which Goy. Seymour is now sitting upon ‘and cogitating over like an old ben in a fearful dilemms. The excitement over this extends through- out the city, and bets are freely made on both sides. Even Wall street is running wild over it, and is betting upwards of ninety on the stock of a rafiroad that but a few months ago was on the market somewhere in the teens, The greatest event of all is the fight in Maryland, hetter known as the fight for the champion- ship between Coburn and McCoole, Thia leads off in the excitement and sensation of the hour. The bets are a hundred times thore numerous and far greater in amount than all the others combined. Butwhatever may be the real position of Hooker or the two com- batants in the prize ring, no one can doubt but that Governor Seymour is in the greatest dilemma of them all. The Governor, sitting in the executive cham- ber on that nest egg the Broadway Railroad, is besieged by played out politicians and would be aspirants for political honors, stock gamblers, penitentiary culprits, aristocrats, moreycraty and numerous other grades, all: pulling and hauling to eve if (he egg is ever going to hateh-- one set for one object and others for another.

Many believe that there is danger of a general European ‘war because, the three first named Powers have separately addressed a note to Russia calling Qpon her to change her policy towards Poland. It is to avoid such a contingency, and not to provoke it, that this communication has been addressed to Russia.

Therefore they assume this attitude in the hope that it may have the eHegt of frightening the Czar into the desired contessions, or, at all events. of deterring Prus- sia from joining him.
