Our loss at the Leesburg light, it appears Iroiu late anJ more authentic accounts, was at first exaggerated. It is said now to have amounted to 40 killed and 108 wounded. The Eighteenth Mississippi Regiuieut, alone, killed 649 Federate, and surrouuded a piece of woods said to contain many Hi re, who will doubtless be captured. Geuerul Baker, of Oregon, received live balls iu the breast. He was made a Brigadier Gen eral only the day previous to tbe light, and commended a cjlumn. The battle lasted a'l day, being serious skir mishes until towards night, when a grand charge was made by the Confederates, a panic took possession of the enemy *§d they lied in the greatest confusion toward the river. The object of this demonstration on the part of the Federal# was to possess and fortify Leesburg, and thence make a dank merement in co-operation with an attack from McClellan on our caatie. Two hundred and fifty of the prisoners ta ken iu the ac.iou are from Worcester county, Massachusetts, the hot-bed of Abolition, and they are full ot rancor and haired agaiut the South.

Tbe now s from the North is also quite inttrea j ting- The panic caused by Reward's circular,instead of diminishing, seems to be on the increase. The Journal of Commerce says that its cfleots have already caused the sacrifice of more weal'h than it w ould have cost to build all the fortifications recommended by Seward The Northern acci unu of the battle of Lees burg say that tbe (dject of the Yankees in cross ing the river was to attempt to fomi a junction w ith the right wiug of McClellan s army. The repulse aud utter defeat are admitted. This re verse has thrown giocru over the whole North The news of the death of Gen. (or Senator) E. D. Baker was received with the deepest sorrow.— The Washington Star says that Lincoln “felt his loss us keenly as if he had l>ccn a brother, and paced the floor of his room in the greatest grief during the entire night.” Judge Mvrrick, of Washington, has been ar rested, owing to tbe proceedings in a hbra eor fin* case brought up in his court. Tbe charge against him is *‘a disposition to defeat the tuilila ry measures of the Government by issuing suen a writ.” Riots among he military huvo occurred at Terre Haute, Indiana, and the newspaper offices were demolished.

At a Cabinet meeting on the 23d some favored depriving him of his command imrneJi ately, and ordering him to Washington to be tried by Court Martial. It was left to the Presi dent to decide, who finds it a difficult question to settle, involving as it docs great pecuniary inte rests of Government, anJ perhaps important mil itary results. Reliable advices report Gen Price at Neosho on the loih, with his army in good fighting con dition. McCullogh was in close proximity, re ceiving large accessions. Their combined forces will out number any force Fremont can bring Fremont will probably make a desperate effort to retrieve bis felling lotrunes.

Richmond, Oct. ‘!1, The Whig of this morning publishes the corret pot:deuce betwroo Brig. Gen. W. 11. T. Walker and the Feorelary of War on the resignati* nos he former, Walker giving some reasons for rc signing. He says he has been over slaughed.hy the Hppoin ment of youug officers he ranked in the old serviot; says the Government, not con tent with putting hi* own countrymen over him, brought from New York General Lovell, who wus un office holder in New York when the bat tle of Manassas whs fought, and made him a Major General over Southern men, and to cap the climax, Walker’s brigade has been taken front hi in and one of his junior Colonels made Brigadier. He concludes bis letter by saying:— “One would have supposed that an Executive, who had himself been a soldier, would have scorned to have wounded the sensibilities of an old and tried soldier. Tho sacred cause for which I drew my sword, 1 will light for in my native State, but 1 will not condescend to submit any longer to insults und indignities from ‘.ho Exec utive.” The Secretary of War replies, that it is duo his self respect to remark on the Impropriety of Brig. Gen. Walker using the War Departmout for conveying disrespectful and insulting com ments on the action of the President. The sole offence consist* m uot selecting Walker to he a Major General, and that there is no question of promotion involved in appointing general officers* the law expre.-sly vesting tho appointing power in the President,andUia no duparageinentofany officer, whatever his services, that the President prefer* unother ns Division Commander. Walker's resignation is accepted. Walker, replying to the Secretary of War’s re marks al-out self respect, says the War Depart in'uti* the proper military channel to coniey his rerignation, and the present acting Ferretary of War, in consequence of his short sojourn in that Department, is igiu rant of it.

Tbe project as conceived la a brilliant one, and has, besides, the substantial merit of being entirely practicable. It is proposed to effect a subscrip tion of $2,000,(M>0, and with that sum construct ten steamships of the class indicated, here at New Orleans and in the Mississippi river. The docking and ship building faciliUs are unsur passed anywhere in the world. It is contempla ted, after building the steamships, to tender them to the Confederate Government for the war, with the condition that they Bhall b* employed at the month of the Mississippi river or in tbe ueighber- IMg wuters of the Gulf.
