FROM M'CLELLAN'S COMMAND.
Especial Difpatch to the Chicago Tribune.1

eaiDst the policy Of compelling the army be-
ore Richmond to dig and fight by turns, and
avs thousands of contrabands should be en-
,loyed fo1 such menial labors as campaign por-
ers.
The emancipation substitute Was carried il
he Eouse By efghty-two to fifty4four. Most |
If the absentees we're on tile other side.
Most, if not all, the Republicans who voted
or the reconsideration voted aye. Delano,
Divcn, Granger, Harrison, Horton, Kellogg
3f n1lroie, Thomas GLASS. and both the Rhode |
Islanders, voted no Us before. This decisive |
majority leads to the hope that it will pass the |
Senate
Ladies who visited McClellan's headquar- |
tiers on sunday, say it was the impression |
there that there we're connections between |
Mrs. Lee and her entrance In Richmond and the |
rebel raid on the railroad on Friday, a proper
return for the peculiar courtesy extended
herself and family By Mcclellan, who sent her
through our lines into Richmond. She had
abundant means ofgettIDg necessary informa-
tion Us to our defenscs, road, &c.

THE REBEL RAID ON McCLELLaN'S

TEE RIGHT NKG, -ARAF Or THE foruAAc,}
Fziday, June 1a-1n Pm.
To-day the right wing of che army WAS at
tackled by the rebels at point little anrici-
pated. 1t has been known for Several days
that the enemy has been lu'ktng about Han
over Courthouse, and small force has been
detailed every day to watch his movements.
It Seems. .;however, that the rebels became EN-
boldentd by the apparent Indifference with
which we kept watch Of that section, by not
having larger force on guard, and made q
bold dash toward our piekets and rear guard,
which was not wholly unsuccessful.
TIE portionfof our force engaged was com-
panies 3, G, and H, Of the Fifth United
States cavalry, wlo have been for the past ten
days stationed Oh picket duty at the Old
Church, which is situated Oh the main roa1
abont midway between ClickAhomiuy bridge
and the White house.
| Early this morning company F vas sent out
on a scouting expedition to the right Of the
Hanover road, Company B and a part of
company H having been detailed to picket
| the road leading to Hanover court house,
about eleven o'clock the rebels made their a1,-
| rearsnce and commenced au attack on our
iickets, and succeeded in capturing nearly all
I Of them.
| at about the same time the scouting party
also fell in with large party OF rebel cavalry,

force was remaining there
The enemy, however, was not to be delayed

Il did not take long to ascertain that tn
rebel force outnumbered that OF our own, au
that it would be useless to attempt to brea
or drive them. Bnt our gallant band WAS deter
mined to do the best they could, and sho,
the rebels that they had q good quality {
metal to contend against. With this view On

Q ued effect Of the whole causing our men
q fail back to Old Church. The enemy pursue

would be inconyenicnt to take away Vii
