THE VICTORY AT WILLIAMSBURG.
Nav YORK, May 3.-General Mcclellan, on the 9th
inst, had a most decisive victory. Only about 5000 Of
our troops were engaged against 5000 Of the best rebel
troops.
Our men fought most valantly, and used the bayonct
freely, which the rebels could not stand.
They fought well until they felt the cold steel, when
they took to their heels and ran like hounds, leaving
their dead, wounded and sick upon our hands. Joe
Johnston led them in person. They have lost several Of
their best officers.
