The paper does not go to press until after the arrival of the mail. . It is delivered by Carrier for $8 per year or $4 for six months.. ii Important Engagement on the Po. - tomac. c A few days ago says the N. O' Bee, a telegram from Richmond sta ted briefly that a sharp skirmirmish had occurred between the Confede rates and Federals, on the former ta king possession of an important hill near Arlington Hlights; and that 300 Federals had been killed or woun d ded in the action. Since then the .d telegraph has been silent respecting t, the affair, but we perceive by the correspondence of the Picayuue that the skirmish in question assumed somewhat of the proportions of a bat tie, and resulted in marked advan tages i,, the Confecderates. We quote the annexed pasnsges from Ii. P's. letter : The principal point of attack was SMunson's lill, though the object was to obtain possession of a still greater eminence about a mile and a half further north, in the direction of the Loudon and Hlampshire Rail !i road. It is this hill, which com pletely overlooks the enemy's works on Arlington Heights, that we seiz lf ed a few days ago, are now strong ly fortifying. The attacking party consisted of about rz000 men, who were complete v. Iy repulsed at every point with great loss, especially friom the second coin d pany of the Washiington Artillhry, under command of Captain Rosser 'l'his company is rapidly making up, by its daring and interpid play upon the enelmy, for its torcedl inactivity. f under the miscarriage of orders, on ci the 21st of July. Its exploits are the theme of every tongu:. ' The number engaged on our side t was about 60(00, and consisted prit cipally of Virginians and Soutlh (.Car olinians, the fotrmen composing the adv:ance:( brigade ,f (:,tneral Lo.,ng street. the latter that of ;-netral lion haiLi. Tlhe repulse was comtpllete. and our forces not tlly rem.linll te in Ii possession of the contested heitghts. .,but in the pursuit puitshl!e forward . till they gained a still nt,..e cotultlantn ding position, prt:viu-ly ,occupied by the enemy. Inl do,it sr, thev also 1 Came in pos essio) n f, txrt 'niv(e cotun ter works of thel t.nm . and slout half a million tllltrs worth of the Seneany's alnlnuntitioin anti sttores. '1'Tle atffir, though on a: small scale, as compared with the memnorable en gagenments of the 1,thlt and 21st July, Sis nevertheless one of the most im portant character. It st;ck another panic into the enemy. gave us a still Smore advanced position of at coln manding character, and stiupplied its n with mnlumunition 'witlout being put V to the trouble of bringing it up from our depots. It at the same time con firmend our Convictions of the continu ed denmoralization ot'the whole Nor !thrn army. While tihe affair wais toing on be fore Arlington Heights, still another, of hardly less importance, was taking place on the upper Potomac, just be Slow Leesburg. For sotnme days past it had been observed that the enemy o from time to tinme incautionasly ap peared on the opposite shore, and p reparations, in the shape of "masked batteries," which they seem to dread so much, were several days ago made to give them a lesson of prudence. Yesterday morning these betteries opened with a tremendous fire, which must have done destructive work, though we are unable, from the fact' that the river still flows between us, to estimate the killed and wounded. , The loss on our side, of course, i amounted to nothing, either in men or horses. The Fraternal Temper of the! New York Press. The Tribune declares that the 1 World is losing fifteen hundred dol Jars every week. Tl.e World returns the compliment by asserting that the Tribune is losing an equal amount; and, becoming statistical in its pas sions, it even investigates such mi croscopic matters as the number of the Tribune's advertisements, and declares that the Tribune will short ly be compelled to curtail its dimen sions, as it has already done its news, in order to redu,; its expenses. This is all very true of the Tribune, but the World itself is in an equally had way. Having lost two hundred thousand dollars in good bankable money, and about a million in second hand piety, sectarian bigotry, Sabba tarian legislation and advice to Gen. Scott not to tight on Sunday, it has at last been sold for a mere song to an India-rubber manufacturer, and it will henceforth be the organ of the India-rubber merchants, with principles as elastic as the material which it represents, and which has proved its temparary salvation.- From all accounts, the stockholders have been as badly sold as the paper, and the Courier and Enquirer, which was to have regenerated the World, only assisted and hastened its danmna tion, as the blind lead the blind into 1 the :_..a r,', pit. +N.
