We are without tue information We ex-
/ peeted to possess aud to iinpart to our
| readers this uorning, of the operations
yesterday in front of this city. The au-
lhortties exclude ali reporters from the
| lines of the army, and afford no intelligence
to the press, though the whole country Is
almost bre1thless wiki anxiety to know
what is transpiring-IhOmgh battle has
oeeu raging nearly all day within hearing
We only know that the fire was resumed
before day on the other side of the Chick
ahominy, near Mechuniesville, aud that by
night tue enemy had been driven south
wnrd, down the Chickahnmiuy, distance
4 of three or four miles. The firing, when
ever they stood their ground, was heavy /;
but this generally was not for long periods
I Their Eliiing back was; for the mos. part
orderly, and they succeeded in getting OF
most of their artillery, Us well rs the most
of their dead aud wounded SoIre six or
eight pieces of artillery Srre wrested from
them, aud the usual amount of knhpshcks,
smar-arms, overcoats, &C., were found
strewu along the line of the retreat They
evidently seek TO nryoiG general engage
ment, whether with the hope of reinforce
ments, or with the view of drawing us on
TO their strongest positions, or from sheer
cowardice, ii is impossible 10 say.
Our forces engaged yesterday were ii-
visions under StJnewall jackson. Long
street and. the two Hills. Oar scanty IN
formation dues not enable us to say whcth.
er the forces on this sidetof the Chickaho-
niny wore engaged yesterday. The cnsu-
allies are not believed to be heavy, though
quite a number of wounded have beeh con-
/ Yeyed to this city. To-day Saturday will
probably witness q general aud decisive
battle, We have no fear of the result,
