GEN. MCCLELLAN's DISPATCH.

Hon. E. n. STANTON. Secretary Of War =
After arranging for movements up York
river. I was urgently sent for here. fod Gen.

probably greater good deal than my own.
General Hancock has taken two redoubk
and repulssd Earley's rebel brigade by real
charge with the bayonet, taking one Colonel
and . hundred and 6fty prisoners, and killing
at least two Colouels and many privates. His
conduct was brilliant In the extreme.

General Hooker has lost considerably on Dur

rebels intend disputing every step 70 Richmond.
shall run the risk Of at least holding them
in check here, while resume the original plan
Ny entire force is undoubtedly considerably
inferior 10 that OF the rebels, who will fight
well-but will do all can with the force al
my disposal.
G. B. McCLEIIAN,
Major General Commanding"
When this dispatch was sent General Nc
Clellan vas qaite unaware Of the extent Of the
victory which had been achieved OIL The mem.
orable 5th Of May, and no far from anticipating
the retreat Of the enemy on the next day from
Williamsburg, be regarded them a. good deal
stronger ,hsn himself, and ss determined 10
dispute every step TO Richmond. The most be
promises, is to hold them 10 check there
'',ohils L." be says, 'res,nne The original plan"
What this '.original pla~" was, is not stated
and could not have been stated with propriety
but that II did not embrace the idea OF pusbiui
the enemy 10 front, ia most certain. All ths
he proposed, when this dispatch was written
was to hold the enemy, believed to be superio
in numbers, in check al Williamsburg, and t
resume bis original plan elsewhere.
When General Mcclellan walked up on th
morning Of May 6, he foand that the enem
had been altogether worse beaten on the PR
vious day than he had supposed. and were
tull retreat. He doubtlrm then changed b
opinion as 10 their superiority in number
which were never really more than half b
own.
While 1t was not proper Tor him to aonount
what his original plan" wss. il is not dificu
to divine what il was.
II was 70 land force, under Gen. Frankli
At West Point, the head Of good navigation (
York river, sod thus cut of the retreat OF d
enemy from the Peninsula; or at any rate,
compel him to evacuste without battle.
That plan had merits, although Its succe
would probably have resulted, not In the CO.
ture Of the enemy, but in bis evacuation OF Il
Peninsula. 1t Is not common for armies to r
main quiet while they are being surrounded.
Gen. Mcclellan followed up the retreat Of II
enemy, which he 10 Unexpectedly witnessed {
the morning Of the 9Th Of Nay, with vigor 81
with most happy and successful results. 4
"original plan was, however, spoiled alt
gether; Is happens constantly in military sffail
by unanticipsted movements of the enemy.
