THE MOVEMENTS OF YEsTERDAY-THE
MAIN BODY OF THE ENEMY ENCLOSED
BY oURLINEs-DEsPERATE SITUATION
q OF THE ENEMY. y. a.. y.
We have accounts of the position Of
bur lines yesterday, which we may re:
5commend to our readers as reliable, and
(which gives the important intelligence
THAT the main body Of the enemy's for.
ices has been cut off from the river and
8has again been enveloped by our lines.
4 On Tuesday evening the enemy's pc,
7sition, when: the eng sgement took place,
was south of the Quaker road, not fal
from the house Of MI. Gathright:. Il
is supposed that, in the night, the enc:
3my had attempted to retreat to. the river
gin the direction Of Turkey Island, but
the ground'ba and his: pro.
3gress impeded by a swamp, had turned
towards Curl Neck, beyond which his
columns had been pushed, hoping to
make some landings higher up the river.
From this direction the main body Of
athe forces had been driven back and is
now enclosed by our lines.
i a reference to the courses of three
lroads-the names Of which have fre-
Hquently occurred in the accounts of the
progress Of the contest south Of the
3Chickahominy-the Long Bridge, the
New Market and the Quaker roads, will
show that they enclose a triangular
space. In this space it appears from
the best accounts we have, and are vii
ling to trust to our readers, about fifty
Thousand of the enemy have been en-
#closed, our troops commanding the three
8roads, and cutting them: entirely of
from communication with the river. -
4 The triangular space referred to is a
Hpiece of lowland, heavily timbered with
thick undergrowth--a portion Of the
8Curl Neck estate, owned by Mr.. VIM.
ALLEN. It is known : as a swamp, al
Though the ground has not always that
character. It is. ground, however,
that in wet weather catches all the rain,
land is readily converted into a morass.
4 Up to 4 O'clock yesterday evening
There had been but little fighting Of i'm
3portance; the rain adding to the dis
3comfort of the enemy and the embar-
arassment of his situation, which by this
time must be extreme and terrible on
account of scarcity of provisions.
1t is considered not improbable that
Z portion of Mcclellan 8 forces succeed
fed Tuesday night in toiling their way
1 to the river in the vicinity Of Turkey
8Isfand. The bulk, however, of his d.
diminished and scattered forces, at least
; Ito the amount of forty or fifty thousand
Amen, is still held in check and cut off
FROM communication with the river.
! The sheling of the enemy's gun
boats is reported to have continued with
Rbut little interruption since Tuesday,
8but to have done US no considerable
8damage, the shells falling quite as often
within the enemy's line as our own.
4 MISCELLANEOUS - THE WOUNDED -
aoUR LOSS, Erc.-Owing to the number
Bof mountaineering hospitalroom, and
Hthe number Of prisoners being brought
hin daily from the lines, the city is be-
Hcoming very much crowded.
B We have it on the authority Of those
Hwho assisted on the field, that our loss
Bin the action of Tuesday amounted to
Ebetween three and four thousand, kill
He'd and wounded. .-Richmond Examiner.
8 FIGHT BETWEEN MARYLAND AND
MASSACHUSETTS YANKEEs.-We have
Hbeen furnished (says the Richmond Dis
Hpatch,) with an extract of letter
Ewritten in Beaufort county, N. c., near
HNewbern, and dated June 26, 1852,
(which contains a piece of information
(which we deem highly important. We
Egive below the extract as furnished us,
Eand think it's statements may be relied
Hupon: .~

Ia fight occurred in Newbern, in which
massachusetts and Maryland soldiers
Hbecame involved. A regiment of each
