MOVEMENTS OF Yesterday CLiL'
TERCEPTED.
vo..o.a,,, o,o,v one seemed lost and bewildercd
IN ,bo;r u.,notions of what had become OF McClel-
| l,n,s army There was no certain announcement
that he had vet reached the river As the day pro-
crossed it became known that Jacksons division
had crossed the Chickahomny, and that there were
strong hopes that Longstreets division would inter
cept the retreating enemy. General Holmes, com
handing division, was said to he between the enc
nv and the river with force of fifteen thousand
men, Every efor: seemed to be made by new
disposition of our forces to repair the unfortunate
| circumstances by which an enemy with three dVis
ions in his front had effected at least temporary
escape from position in which it was paramount
| object of the contest to hold him.
The last accounts we have of the situation OF the
| enemy and which We can recommend to our readers
as reliable leave doubt that his retreat has been
intercepted We are able to state positively, that
we have forces between him and the river, including
| Gen. Holmes command of fifteen thousand men
Il is also certain that General Jackson crossed the
| Chickahoniny yesterday morning, and that the
main body of McCle!lans forces is on this side OF
the Chickahominy, in Charles City county, where
his retreat has been intercepted and he has again
been challenged to battle The condition of the
enemy exctcs hopes Of most favourable result to
| our arms
Information Of the progress Of our arms yesterday
| were meagre on account of the movements being
| conducted further away from the city.
1t was stated by persons who left our lines yeSter
day afternoon that general citing was progressing
| These statements however, we believe to he unre
able to the extent to which they go. There was
some shellng about noon, and probably some action
IN the afternoon preparatory to the great contest
our troops are bllsv marching and courtermarching
to effect the complete Investment Of the enemy's
position.
Tile LATEST FROM 0vR LINES-YESTERrAY BATTLE
POSITION OF ENEMY.
The latest accounts which can get from the
critical portion OF our lines, and recommend to our
readers as reliable represent that late yesterday
afternoon the enemy in position near White
Oak Swamp that all the roads to the Chickahnminy
were in our possession TackSon'S division having
position at Bottoms Bridge; that portion Of
forces had got in the rear of the enemy AMI were
driving him back. and that late in the evening our
forces in his front had drawn up in two lines of bat
tie for genera! action, which the enemy en-
deavoring to decline. The attack was made by
General fiuger the front of the enemy, who
at that time in the angle formed by the intersection
Of the New Market and Quaker roads, with Generals
Holmes and Magrudcr in his rear. After short
and desultory contest the divisions of General Long
street and \. p Hill were moved up, and attacked
the enemy with great iierceness, and toe action
became general with terrible loss side, but
terminated with the result of driving the enemy
Olck for about u mile and halt, and putting him
in pos ton where he will be forced to Int IN the
morning with every prospect Of the rout Of his
forces, as it issupposed that our attack will be made
this morning on his front and both TANKS. Long
streets division is reported to have been badly cut
up, particularly the brigade of General Anderson,
Of South Carolina, and General Kemper, Of Virginia.
1t is supposed that nconsiderable portion Of Nc
/! CleIlans army may have reached James river.
