Another naval engagement near New Orleans. Augusta, Oct. 21.
--The New Orleans Trust Delta, of the 18th inst., says an engagement took place at noon on the 17th inst., between the Confederate gun-boats Jackson and Ivey, and two Federal steamers, near the head of the Passes.
The shot of the Jackson fell short, but the Ivey pursued the Federals down to the Southwest Pass, after which she returned to the head of the Passes.
Affairs on the Peninsula — Designs of the enemy.
The community was somewhat excited yesterday by a report, which seemed to be well authenticated, of an engagement near Newport News on the 18th inst., but later advices contradicted it entirely.
Nevertheless, the tenor of the official advices goes to show that sharp work may be apprehended in that quarter at no distant day. The presence of a large fleet of Federal vessels in Hampton Roads is well known to Gen. Magruder, who is preparing to give the enemy a warm reception should an attack be made.
We deem it unnecessary to notice any movements of troops, of which we received information yesterday.
The War Department received a dispatch last evening from Gen. Magruder, stating that a portion of the command of Brig. Gen. McLaws, of Georgia, engaged the enemy yesterday forenoon, near Young's Mills.
The dispatch gives no particulars.
