ARREST OF A SWINDLER. PETER DEMBEY, a colored man, who claims to be a fugitive slave from the State of Maryland, was yesterday arrested and taken before Justice CONNOLLY, at the Tombs, upon the compliant of CHARLES A. DANA, of No. 154 Nassau-street, who charges that the prisoner applied to him for a sum of money sufficient to take him to Canada, at the same time exhibiting a letter, purporting to have been signed by Mr. GEORGE WILKENS, of Trenton, N.J., in which the bearer was represented as a worthy object of charity, and representing that Mr. DANA would aid him in his escape to Canada. The complainant at once recognized the swindler as a man who, two years since, had applied to him for money for the same pretended purpose, and to whom he had then given a sum sufficient to have taken him where he desired to go. Mrs. MARY S. TREMBLY, of No. 21 East Twenty-fifth-street, was called as a witness, and testified that DEMBEY was in the habit of practicing these impositions upon the public. The Justice committed him to the Workhouse for [???] months.

NEWS OF THE DAY.; THE REBELLION.
Date: 25 October 1861
Gen. McCLELLAN was yesterday again at his headquarters across the Potomac, and everything along the National lines remained quiet. There has been no renewal of the fighting near Leesburgh, but we hear that the enemy have shown themselves in force above and below, and it has been thought advisable to withdraw our troops for the present, from the Virginia side. From the best data at present attainable, it is probable that the number of our men killed on Monday was 79; wounded, 141; missing, prisoners, and not yet returned to their commands, about 400 -- in all, say 620, which figure will probably be considerably reduced by those returning to camp.
