From Gen. McCieIIan,s Army

Gen Hooker, at 9 o'clock this morning.,
advanced his division with the view of
occupying another position. The result
was that bis troops met with most de
iermined resistance from the enemv, which
lasted TIL 4 o'clnck p. NJ, but he rebels
were forced to give way be.Ore the inyin-
chile courage of our men.
During the day everything indicated
general engagement, but the enemy, for
sime reason or other, backed out of it.
THE troops fought as bravely and gallantly
as ever.
/ The loss on our side will be about 200
! killed and wounded. Among the W; unded
! IS Col. Morrison, volunteer aid to General
/ Palmer, wounded in the hand. The enc
nly's luss is not known, but it is believed
to equal ours.
Tha camp of the rebels in front Of Ger.
I Hooker was captured, and is now occu; led
! by his troops. The ground fought for was
swamp with thick unC eTbrush, beyond
which is an open country. The woods in-
tervening between our troops and the
enemy prevent the result of our artillery
firing foim being known.
Two Napoleon l2-pounders, under Capt
Duessey, succeeded in getting through the
sw mp during the afternoon, and did ex
cellent service. An effort of the enemy to
capture them resulted III their being driven
back with severe loss.
The r suit Of to day is highly important
to the health of the army,as but little more
ground is to be gained to place our troops
beyond the swamp.
Gen. Mcclellan was present the whole
day, experimenting all the movements.
