Affairs in Suffolk.
Our advices from Suffolk are to Wednesday night last.
The number of troops now in and around Suffolk is estimated at 17,500. Major-General Peck is in command, assisted by Brigadiers Ferry and Vessey.
The infantry number 15,000, cavalry 2,500 and there are three batteries of artillery, numbering 17 pieces.
The railroad is guarded all through the Dismal Swamp, chiefly by new levies recently raised.
The enemy is fortifying four miles this side of Suffolk, and they say they will hold the town at all hazards.
The tidings of Gen. Mansfield's death, who fell at Sharpsburg, was received at Suffolk with some regret by the citizens of that place.
Gen, M. had been in command there for several months previous to his fall, and unlike Yankee officers generally, was very mild and lenient in his rule.
The people fear that they will not see his like again during Lincoln's Administration.

A brother of Mrs. Lincoln in Congress.
--J. S. B. Todd, who has been elected delegate in Congress from the new Territory of Dacotah, is a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and a graduate of West Point in 1837.
He resigned his position in the army a few years ago, and took up a residence in Dacotah, from which Territory he was appointed a Brigadier-General of volunteers on the 19th of September, 1861. He has been, most of the time, and we believe is now, in command in Northern Missouri.
