A Great Battle Impending!
Our Whole Army Yesterday on the
Move.
Headquarters Last Night
within q short Distance Of
.-.- Richmond. ..-
The Main Body Of the Enemy eneamp'
ed In front of that city.
Exciting News to be Expected at any
mOment!!

TuNsTALL's STATION, May 20, (mldnight.)-
The enemys pickets were driven across Bottoms
Bridge yesterday by the troops advancing In that
direction.
The rebels attempted to regain the post by the
use OF their artillery, but failed.
Our batteries opened, Smelling the woods on
each side Of the bridge.
The advance, under Gen. Stoneman, reached
New Bridge yesterday, within eight miles OF
Richmond. They found no enemy in force on
this side Of the ChIckahominy, which at that
point dwindles down to a small creek.
The country in that locality is in good state
Of cultivation, with no more swamp than is to be
found on ordinary bottom land.
Six pieces Of artillery were found posted upon
the opposite bank but his purpose not being tc
bring on an engagement, he retired one mile
from the bridge, and encamped.
During the day,while driving the enemy's out
posts, he had one killed and three wounded
The whole army moved this morning, early
with the view Of making lengthy march.
What roads they took, 1t 10 not necessary to
state; but the headquarters Of General Mcclellan
tonight are within short distance Of Richmond,
In front Of which city is supposed to be encamped
the main body of the rebel army.
IL they intend to give the Union army battle
which is almost universally acknowledged to be
the case-the hour is drawing near at hard when
they will have IN opportunity

Spirit Of the Morning Press.

The IatslIigsaeer noticing the comments Of the
New York Tribrss on the late proclamation
" Of the President 1t processes to support" says
As 1t (the IntsHigsnesr) Is not the political
friend Of the President In the same sense as the
TribEss, II would be quite superauous to become
the political enemy Of a man whose soTest distress
must find expression in the cry, Save me from
my friends.'''
The RsPEbliean argues that the "question Of
the legality Of Gen. Hunters order Is the whole
question Of the right Of the Commander-in-chief
TO lberate slaves a military measure; and says
eve greatly fear that a practical resolution Of
that question In the negative, Is found in the
Presidents proclamation Of Monday" The Re-
publican hints that Congress should legislate On
the subject
