The latest positive intelligence from "en'
McClellan's army is an announcements from '"o
General himself that all the DIVISIONS nave
made forward movement. Those under LIS
immediate command had reached tho Cbicka-
bominy at New Bridge, while the rest OF the
army had advanced from New Kent Court
Uouse TO Bottoms Bridge, on the same stream.
The position of these two points may be seen
nv referring to our map published yesterday
morninr. New Bridge and Bottoms Bridge
we judge to be about seven miles apart, while
tbe former is eight miles and the latter about
ten from Richmond. We may expect to hear
of q battle or another retreat on the part OF
the Rebels within a few hours. and it is this
expectation of the impending event, doubtless,
which gave rise to the rumors with which,,
our dispatches inform Us, Washington was
filled last evening.
