confirms the statement of the reporter Of
the associated press at headquarters, in
every particular. He says our forces

envy at the commencement Of the battle,
and that the rebels were driven back a

of the day. were regarded by him and his
staff as a glorious victory, though not a
final one. There was no faltering at
any point of the line of our whole army.
Our soldierswere exultant at the result
of the previous days fight, and McClel=
Ian was in the highest spirits. The opin-
ion Of Mcclellan and those around him
was that the final result would depend
on who got reinforcements first
sm. Our informant says that nothing had
been heard on the field of the capture of
Longstreet or the killing of Hill, and
that there is no truth in either report
Twenty thousand more reinforcements
were expected to reach the field yester-
day from Harrisburg. He thinks the
loss of the rebels fully equal to ours
The gentleman who furnishes the forego-
ing intelligence is one of our most re-
spectrble and intelligent citizens. He
says that while the battle of Wednesday
was not a decisive one, it7was a contest
in which all the advantages were with
