The rebels Attempted to regain the post by

The advance under Stoneman reached New

this side of the Chickahominy river, which
at Ibis point dwindl9s down to a small creek
The country in that locality is in 4 good
state of cultivation with no more swamp
than is found in ordinary bottom lands.
Six pieces Of artillery were found posted
on the opposite bank Of the stream, but
Stoneman's purpose was not to bring on an
engagement. lie therefore retired a mile
from the bridge and eucamped during the
day.
While driving in the enemys outposts we
had one man killed and three wounded.
The whole army moved this morning early
with a view Of making a lengthy march.
What roads they took it is not necessary to
mention, but the headquarters of Mcclellan
