We have already published a great deal in connection with the late battle at Leesburg, which resulted so brilliantly to our cause; but doubt not that the following official report from General Stone, chief in command of the Yankee forces, addressed to Lieut. Gen. Scott, will prove interesting to the reader.--It will be seen that the attempt of Gen. Stone to throw the blame of the whole enterprise and its results upon Col. Baker, is a miserable failure, and the whole responsibility recoils upon him with double force: Headq'rs Corps of Observation, Oct. 28, 1861. General: On the 20th instant, being advised from headquarters of Gen. McCall's movement to Drainsville to reconnoiter and draw out the intentions of the enemy at Leesburg, I went to Edwards's Ferry at one o'clock P. M., with Gen.

Scott are sweet music to all Virginians. We have read with exquisite pleasure that dramatic letter of resignation, in which he refers to a "hurt" that makes him unable to mount; horse, and to "other and new infirmities dropsy and vertigo," which have entrenched themselves in his portly person. We shall hereafter have a better opinion of "dropsy and vertigo" than we ever had before, regarding them as worthy allies of the Confederate cause and trusmation of "Lundy's Lane," and we see no reference in the resignation to the "gout, " an aristocratic disease, from which Scott long has suffered, and which deserves honorable mention on account of the excuse it afforded the "Great Captain of the agnt in the life of the man who never lost a battle. There is also another malady, which, with his characteristic modesty, Scott has omitted from the inventory of his conflicts — a disease of the heart, which he has suffered from the hour of his birt

ch yields nothing that mankind cannot easily dispense with that the institutions property, and civil, social, and political right of half the American States should be overthrown, despoiled, and annihilated by the other half. The only thing that Scott considers "unnatural and unjust" in this "rebellion," as he calls it, is that Jeff. Davis is President of the Southern Confederacy. If any other man save his old and hated enemy had filled that position, and Scott had been offered the command-iould be overthrown, despoiled, and annihilated by the other half. The only thing that Scott considers "unnatural and unjust" in this "rebellion," as he calls it, is that Jeff. Davis is President of the Southern Confederacy. If any other man save his old and hated enemy had filled that position, and Scott had been offered the command-in-chief of the Southern Army, with the Federal salary for that office, he would now be airing his gout, dropsy, and vertigo in Richmond instead of Washington.

sailing of the vessels. They were close together, and moving at the rate of seven miles an hour. Expert navigators have calculated that at this rate the fleet must have passed beyond the known range of the storm before it commenced. No later authentic advices have been received here. The reputed dispatches since then are unquestionably only opinions or conjectures. The Change in the command. The change in the command of the army, by which Gen. McClellan assumes the position of Gen. Scott, has caused much conversation among all classes, and confident opinions are every where expressed, than the talents of the young General are equal to the position and the emergency in which the country is now placed. He remained to-day at his headquarters, and the few who were so fortunate as to be admitted to his presence, congratulated him upon the new mark of confidence he had received at the hands of his Government.
