the river and capturing the entire rebel force
nocth IF til Pemunkey river.
Upon crossing the river it WAS discovered
that the nemy were in much greaier force than
had been previously estimated, but General
H oker pushed on, driving the enemy before
him at very point during series of sangui-
nary conflicts, which terminated last Sunday
in iavor of General Hooker. On that day 1t
became plainly manifest that the enemy was
brinaing up very heavy columns of reserve
troops, and was preparing to make desperate
and powerful onslaught upon our position at
ancrilorville, and st the same time casting
his entire cavalry force upon our right wing,
threatening to turn it, with some prospect Of
success
Gen Hooker, although to some extent pre-
pared for battle, received and reviewed the in.
telligence sent in by his corps and division
comma nd. re-. He was positive that the en-
emys communications from Richmond wers
still intact, and as q tremendous rain had then
set in, he was apprehensiSe that the river
would be so swollen in his rear as to be i'm
passable in case Of q heavy reverse to our
arms. Indeed, our ammunition was almost
exhausted; the troops had nearly consumed
the rations served to them for eight days sub
sistence, and the consumption Of both stores
and ammunition was far greater than the sup
ply.
In order to leave our army as free to operate
against the enemy as possible, Gen. Hooker
took no ANN unition trains across the river
nothing but caissons furnished our artillery
1t was designed to have alarge train Of pack
mules to follow the army with supplies OF all
kinds, but this channel was found impraeti.

to our retrograde movement, but these were

WHO WERE ENGAGED

In his recent battles, but three of Gen. Hook
er's corps may be said to have been engaged.
Viz: Gen. Sedgwick's, Gen. Sickles', and Gen
Sykes; the latter but for q brief period. The
corps OF Gen. Howard, which subsequently
gallantly it will be remembered, gave way
without fighting, through the shameful con
duct Of the division formerly known as Sigel's
corps. Thus, at most, more than half our army
failed TO obtain an opportunity to participate in
the fighting.
