WASHINGTON, April s.-'l'lc following is
n summary of the intelligence received by the
War department up to 10 O'Clock last night {:
At Yorktown yesterday, the cncmys works
were carefully examined by Gen. Mcclellan
and found to be- very strong and the approach
es difficult. The enemy was in force, and
the batteries at Yorktown and Gloucester were
much increased in number and force. There
was sharp firing on the right. but 10 damage
was done. 1t seemed plain that mortar and
siege guns must be- used for the attack.
Another dispatch received at 1880 this
morning. states that Yorktown must fall with
out siege, within two days. Some outer
works have been taken Gen. Wool tclcg-
rapl,s that Magruler had 10000 men at York
town. On the afternoon Of Sunday, Ship
Point had been taken, the gunboa,s Smelling
ont the batteries. All the fortified places OF
Importance below Yorktown had been taken.
The following account is from the official
dispatches to the Secretary of War:
That portion of the army of the Potomac
recently concentrated at Old Point advanced
on Friday morning, in the direction of York
town. The right was assigned to Morill's
Brigade. of l'ortrrs Division, with two COM
pancs OF the Sd Pennsylvania Cavalry, act
ing as skirmiShcrs. Nothing of interest oc-
urv,l, until the arrival at Big Bethel where
the outer rebel pickcts were met. The troops
delayed here tor two hours, demonstrating a
bridge which had been destroyed. The rcb-
els rrtrcatcd before our skirmishcrs to How
ard Creek, where they had some carhworks.
Shots were here fred by the rebels from
two field pieces, which, were soon silenced by
the 4,h Rhode Island Battery. Then the
rebels rctrcatcd, taking tho artillery with
them. The main body of the army rested
here for the night, while Morrill's Brigade ad-
vanced to Cuckolsville, six miles from York
town. by seven o'clock Saturday morning.
the column was again III motion. At ten
o'clock they were in front Of the enemy's
works at Yorktown. The first shot was fired
by the rebels. Griifin's, and the Sd and 4th
Rhode Island and the 9Th Massachusetts Bat
tcrics were placed in position, replying to the
same point from which the shots were fired by
A, .i.l, M, couuouo.l;uo continued will,
but slight intermission until dark. About
four hundred shots were fired by both parties
during the day. The loss on our side during
the day was 3 killed and five wounded. The
position of the rebels is a strong one from
present appearances Their Notifications ex-
tend two miles in length and mount heavy
guns. The ground in front of their works is
low and marshy.
Arrangements arc made to build, immedi-
ately, iron clad vessels Of the character but
larger than the Monitor.
