LATE EXPLOITS or OUR ARMY
OF the Potomac.

There was . time, few days since
when the news from the gallant army OF
the Potomac seemed to be Of very dis
hear,euing character. and for time the
hearts Of the most sanguine were cast
down. It was .aid that our army there
had been driven before rebel bayonent'
for a distance OF seventeen miles. and
tina, our valuable siege guns bad fallen
into the hands Of the enemy. Thi-
looked very dark at the time, but subse'
qaeut Information assures rs that in.
stead Of suffering an inglorious defeat,
our army under the command Of Genes-
al Mcclellan, has covered itself with
immortal honor. 1t has met with no
reverses whatever on the Peninsula.
From Yorktown on to it's present posi-.
ton it has been attended with q series
Of triumphs. True the grand object Of
the campaign has not been achieved,
true it is that Richmond has not yet
fallen, yet the gallant force uoder our
noble young General, has met the con
solijated force of the enemy at many
points, and on such occasion has bis
bAnuers been Gro ned with victory.
The rebel army has been greatly aug
mented within the past few weeks, and
eyery nerve of rebellion has been strain
ed to overcome our forces before the
rebel capitaI,-they have doubled on tie
as to numbers, but the indomitable
bravery aud consummate military skill
with which the affairs Of our army have
been administered have saved Us from
defeat, and drawn from the hearts OF
the people unqualified gratitude and
praise to those who have thus maofully
and gloriously defended tie Federal
cause.
For long time General Mcclellan
re ,ized the peril 10 which his Condition
OF att hrs was placing the extended Iius
on his right, by which he guarded hi,
commnnlcat on and supplies. The fac
that he was outnnmbered came upor
him with rcsistless force, and hence his
action in changing his line Of oparation'
to assume that laid down in his orgina
plan Of the campaign. This intention
was doubtless conveyed to the Presl

Desperate Conflict on Saturday Evening.
The Rebels afraid OF Cold
Steel.
GES. MCCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS, J
June q, lS62-2P, NJ. {

Two days OF the battle Of Richmond have
been fought, on both Of which our troops
have been victorious. The loss on both sides
is heavy.
The battle was opened by the enemy max
ing an attack on General Casey's division,
encamped near the Seven Pines, on the turn.
pike leading over Bottom Bridge, and within
seven miles OF Richmond.
The attack was made about o'clock on
Saturday by Gen. Hills division, composed
Of FIVE rebel brigades, the rebel troops being
for the most part from South Carolina, Vir.
GINA and Georgia. The fight there was dis
ostrous. Gen. Casey's troops were forced to
retire before superior numbers, leaving oil
their camp equipage and IL batteries. Col.
Bailey in endeayoring TO save his batteries
was Killed. Some OF the troops in this d.
vision from New York and Pennsylvania be-
hayed very badly. Many OF the officers were
killed and wounded in endeayoring to rally
their men.
Gen. Heintzelman. on ascertaining the re-
suit, ordered forward portion OF the divis-
ions Of Gems. Kearney and Hooker, to re-
gain the day. General kearney's men, on
being brought into action, charged with the
bayonet, driving the rebels before them like
sheep, and regaining all the lost ground but
about half mile. Night coming on, oper-
atoms were brought to close.
Gen. Summers two divisions, and Generals
Sedgwick's and Richardson's crossed the
Chickahominy about three o'clock Saturday
afternoon, taking position on Gen. Hent-
zelman's right. Here they encountered Cen
erals Longstrcet's, Rains, and Huger's diyis-
ions. the flower of the rebel army.
The fighting was desperate every foot OF
ground deing hotly contested, but our sol
diers were too much for them. The enemy
would stand manfully at a distance Of sixty
yards and be fired at, but they were afraid OF
the bayonet. and in every instance that our
men charged they were victorious. These
two divisions did nobly, driving the rebels at
every point until dark.
The enemy's loss was very heavy, many oil
them being killed by the bayonet.
We have about 500 prisoners.
