NEW YORK, April 23.
The Post says the rumors in regard to the conduct of the accomplished officer, Gen. W. L. Smith, at Warrick river, appeared to have no foundation. Not only is he one of the most temperate men in the army, but we have the authority of a private dispatch from Gen. McClellan for saying, that, on the occasion alluded to, he gallantly and skillfully gained a great advantage for us, silencing the fire of a battery, which was splendidly done, with little loss on our side.
