The dispatch states that severe and most
determined battle was fought on the right
wing on Thursday and Friday, which is
claimed by some officers as successful and
strategic movement into which the enemy
was unwittingly drawn. and which will soon
result in the capture Of Richmond and the
entire rebel army.
The attack was made by the enemy in I'M.
mense force, who crossed the Chickahominy
near the railroad above Mechanisville, Thurs
day afternoon.
They fought desperately, but were unable
to drive our men single rod, though the
enemy were ten to one.
The only force engaged on that day was
Gen. McCall's division.
The battle lasted from 2 till 0 p. NJ, when
the division was ordered back.
Gen. Mcclellan was on the field, and ex.
pressed himself satisfied with the result.
