this morning, bringing the following advices:—

NEW YORK, JUNE 4.

The following despatch from General M'Clollan
was received by the Secretary of War on Sunday--
"FIELD OF BATTLE, SUNDAY,
JUNE 1, NOON.

" We have had a desperate battle, fn which the
corps of Generals Sumner, Heintzelraan, and Keyes
have been engaged against greatly superior
numbers.

" Yesterday, at 1, the enemy, taking advantage
of a terrible storm, which had flooded the valley
of the Chickahominy, attacked our troops on the
right flank- General Casey's division, which was
in the first line, gave way unaccountably and dis-
unitedly. This caused a temporary confusion,
during which the guns and baggage were lost►
but Generals Heintzelman and Keyes most gal-
lantly brought up their troops, which checked the
enemy. At the same time, however, I succeeded,
by great exertion, in bringing across Generals
Sedgewick's and Richardson's divisions, who drove
back the enemy at the point of the bayonet, cover-
ing the ground with his dead.
" This morning the enemy attempted to renew
the conflict, but was everywhere repulsed. We have
taken many prisoners, among whom are General
Pettigrew and Colonel Loring. Our loss is heavy,
but that of the enemy must be enormous. With
the exception of General Carey's division the men
behaved splendidly.

" Several fine bayonet charges have been made;
the 2d Excelsior Regiment made two to-day.
" GEORGE APCLELLAN, Major-General
Commanding."
