 NEW YORK. July 3.-The Times Las detailed reports of the battles of Thursday, Friday, and 1 Saturday, from which 1t appears that the right wing of our army, about 10000 men, were at tackled on Friday by rebel force of not less than 5OOOO, and after a gallant fight our troops crossed the Chickahominy in order. On Sat urday night and Sunday, our whole left wing, nnder Heintzleman and Sumner fell back along inc line of the railroad and the Williamsburg road and marched to the James river The rebels crossed the Chckahominy in great force on Saturday, reaching the railroad but made no pursuit, remaining however in possession of the ground previously occupied by our troops, on both sides of the Chickahominy, including the bridres and earthworks we had erected against their approach All our stores, etc., were with drawn in good order, with much loss, of course. There was tremendous fighting during the movements and heavy loss on both sides.
 The Times correspondent states that Gen'l Mcclellan established his headquarters on Mon day on Malvim Hills, one mile back of Turkey Bend. At ? o'clock Monday p. m., firing was heard for two hours n the direction of White Oak Swamp, where Ayres was holding the reb- els. in check. who were attempting to cross an immense force of rebel artillery and cavalry fresh from Richmond. These appeared on our left. when Porters and Keys commands moved to resist the enemy A most terrible fight en- sued. and 1t became evident that the oyerpow. ering force of the rebels was gaining, when the gunboats Galena and Aristook opened with their 54-pounders upon the traitors. The fight con- tlnued until diminishing away into occasional musket shots.
 About 10 o'clock in the evening, Prime De- Joinville, Due. DeChartres and the Count De- Paris left headquarters; embarking aboard the guuboat Jacob Bell, with official dispatches from Gen. Mcclellan to the government. Gen Mcclellan accompanied them to the boat and bade them final adeu. When the Jacob Bell left, all was quiet along the river Several steamers and transports were passed going up James river.
 NEW YORK, July 3d.-The Tribune cores pondent referring to the above, after stating we were outnumberad by the rebels, indulges in the following: When loyal New York regi> 51e4.s lltea from their feet by the fire of rebel brigades, cry out of their wounds and death, for help-when the choicest of New England Michigan and Pennsylvania terribly outnum~ bered in front, and both Hanks, by whole di~ visions of the enemy beg for endorsements, I say that the blackest crime that power can commit, is to stalk upon the field of peril and say, soldiers have no faith in your commando CTS; let your martyrdom proceed and so says this army of the Potomac, and it registers to- night VOWS of vengeance as t marches in the dark from a position which their diminished numbers disable them from holding, but which ! is consecrated by them forever for their suffer- ngs, their labora and their wrongs. The poli- tcans and statesmen who left bs here to be outnumbered, and be cut of from our supplies, and the possibility of retreat, are doomed men.
