The people of the river towns are re.

BALTlMoRE, May 8.-The following is
from the AmeTican's account of the battle
of Mondays:
The battle. before Williamsburg on Mon
day was most warmly contested engage
ment. Owing to the rOughness of the
country and bad condition of the roads,
but small portion of our troops could be
brought into action.
Gen. Sickles' excelsior brigade of Gen.
Hookers division bore the great bront of
the battle, greatly overpowered by num-
6ers and superior position and earthWorks
of the enemy.
TheaPproaches to their works were se-
rles of raVines and swAmps. Whilst the
rain fell in torrents throughout the day, the
men had also been lying on their arms all
the previous night in the woods, soaked
with rain and chilled with cold.
The battle ragged from early in the morn
ing until three o'clock in the afternoon,
when General McClellan arrived With fresh
troops, and relieved the Division of Gener-
al:HOOker, who were nearly PROSTATE with
fatigue and exposure, whilst the 3rd Ex-
celsior Regiment, of the Brigade, had its
ranks terribly thiuned by the balls Of the
enemy.
They are represented as having fought
with imprudent bravery, and that not less
than two hundred of them were killed and
wounded.
After the arrival of Gen. Mcclellan the
enemy was fercely charged upon by Han.
cocks brigade aud were driven within
their works before nightfall with heavy
loss. Nearly 700 oftheir dead were left ON
the field with many wounded, though most
ofthe latter were carried into Williams
burg. Our loss was less than 300 killed,
and about 200 wounded.
Might having come on, we occupied the
battle field, the enemy having been driven
within his works.
A large number of wagons and NUM-
tiOns of war, and considerable store of
provisions, were found in town, whilst the
road was strewn for many miles with arms
and accoutrements.
A number of deserters also made their
escape and came within our lines. They
stated that the rebels had received intelli-
gence that large numbers of U. S. troops
were landingin York river above Williams
burg to flank them.
