The Battle efwilliamsburg-The Expedition
Up the Yerk River Most Successful-The
Rebels Retreating Across James River.

WILLIAMSBURG, MAY s.-The details of the
engagement of Monday are incomplete and
voluminous that it will be necessary to await the
report Of Gen. Mcclellan, which Is now being
prepared. Deserters from the enemy are hourly
arriving. Gen. Jamison has been appointed mill
tary governor and provost marshal of the town
The official report of the killed and wounded be-
ing too lengthy to send over the military tele-
graph line, has been forwarded by mail.
The expedition up the York river has been
most successful, and now occupies West Point
Heavy firing was heard In that direction, but par
ticulars are not known. Yesterday the advance
guard Of our cavalry had a skirmish with the rear
guard OF the enemy about seven miles from here
James river.
The general impression with the military men
is that the rebels have made their last stand in
Virginia. For distance Of ten miles beyond
Williamsburg the road Is lined with broken
army wagons In the retreat of the enemy.
Brig. Gen. Jas. A. Van Allen has been ap.
pointed military governor and commandant Of
Haldeman for adjutant. Gen. Van Allen has ap-
pointed Capt Revere, Of the 4ith New York, TO
be provost marshal.
