From Gen. McCiellan's Army
McClellln,s Headqns der. June %.

Gen Hooker, at Q o'clock this morning.
advanced his division with the view of
occupying another position. The result
was that his troops met with most de
termined resistance from the enemy, which
lasted TIL o'cl1ck p. a., but he rebels
were forced to give way be.ure the inyin-
chile courage of our men.
During the day everything indicated
general engagement, but the enemy. for
slme reason OF Gther, backed out of il.
THE troops fought as bravely and gallantly
as ever.
The loss on our side will be about 200
killed and wounded. Among the W; uuded
as Col, Morrison, volunteer aid to General
Palmer, wUupded in The hand The enc
nsy's loss is not known, but it is believed
to equal ours.
Tha camp of the rebels in front Of Gen.
Hooker was captured, and is now occu; led
by his troops. The ground fought for was
swamp with thick unC erbrusb, beyond
which is en- 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 in their being driven
back with severe loss.
The suit of to day is highly importan mt
to the health of the army,a 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.

A letter from Mr.. Raymond to the
Times, says:
General Mcclellan is bringing up hi,
siege guns irom Yorktown, some of which
have already arrived
The rebels show no disposition to as,
sumo the offensive again in force, but are
evidently preparing to resist attack. Their
occasional demonstrations, like those o
Saturday night, seen intended to draw Us
into an attack, but they have no Genera
who is capable of making Mcclellan figh
till he gets ready, nor of making him figh
upon Plan of their selecting.

rebel army a short distance bevond Fai,
Oaks, and drove them back a mile. Nv .

the ground gained as snon as we had oh-
tanned possession Of it, and then. when this
error was Suited and understood .nur oaIl,n,
lads went at 1t again, and corrected the
mistake and maintained our position there
at night.
But little artillery was engaged, and the
casualties are therefore not az numernps a,
