BAIMMORE, MAY 6.—The special corres
pondent of the American at Fortress Monroe
says that General McClellan's advance is
beyond Williamsburg, and that our gunboats
are at West Point, having on their way
captured or destroyed many rebel trans
ports.
A retort was also current of the capture
of a large number of prisoners.
A force had been landed at West Point,
and destroyed a bridge on the Richmond
and York river railroad.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The French war steamer Gassendi came
down from Yorktown at five o'clock last
evening, bringing the French Minister and
also Captain Fox, the Assistant Secretary
of war.
We learn that up to ono o'clock the
steamers with Gen. Franklin's division bad
had not yet gene beyond Yorktown, but
were waiting to hear from above. One of
the gunboats which went up on Sunday
morning, had returned, and reported that
they found the river unobstructed, and that
the gunboats had reached West Point, where
a farce had been landed, and destroyed a
bridge on the road to Richmond.
Several rebel ttansports were overtaken
going up the river. Some were run ashore,
those on board escaping, and were burned.
Others had been captured.
The latest reports say that Gen. McClellan
was with the advance of the army, and was
supposed to be before Williamsburg, in
which direction there bad been a brisk can
nonading all day.
Among the prisoners is the Chief of Engi
neers on General Johnston's staff, who states
that the whole rebel army at Yorktown
amounted to 85,000 men.
lie gives a most deplorable account of
the • condition of the army, and says that
they will be unable to make a stand any
where this side of Richmond.
the Columbia Spy
The retreat commenced before daylight,
on Saturday morning, and be doObts not
that the advance was twenty miles distant
at the time ' tbe last gun was fired from
Yorktown. ' ' - •
On Sunday morning General MitClellan
signalled the five gunboats-lying below
Yorktown the fact of the evacuation, with
instructions to' pro* . id , on up the river to
West Point, anirteullore all obstructions in
their way... "' - -
Quite a fleet of steamers and vessels,
loaded with troops, were discovered in the
distance, 'and a "ptirstiit was commenced,
resulting in the capture of some of them,
whilst others were run ashore and fired by
those on board, who escaped to the - woods.—
ft is said that by three o'clock in the after
noon the gunboats had reached West Point,
at the head of navigation, nearly thirty
miles above Yorktown, frequently shelling
the partios of the enemy that wore discover
ed flying along the shore, and flanking that
portion of the retreating army that were
moving towards West Paint, to take the
railroad to Richmond.
Immedintly in the walto of the gunboats
followed a long line of river steamers loaded
with troops, carrying General Franklin'i
division, with 15 000 to 20,000 men.
These troops remelted Yorktown during
the afternoon, and were stopped there to
await inteligenco from the gunboats. It it
proposed to land them at Yorktown if the
reports of the gunboats are favorable.

The action id this vicinity was very severe
at times. T,heloss in killed s and- wounded
is not know, but it is supposed to inve'been
considerable on both sides. .
The enemy were repulsed at all points.
-Gen. Peet's•brigade, stationed to Eke right
of pen. Hooker's forces, soon after became
engaged. Here the firin g was very heavy
for about two hours, during which our troops
handsomely repulsed the enemy in-making
a charge. Our loss was about,thirty killed
and serenty-foqr wounded.`
A brilliant victory waE achieved, about
five o'clock in tbe•afternoon, by Gen.. Alan:
cock's brigade, assisted by Kennedy's and•
Wheeler's batteries. They bad been order
ed to the right to feel the strength of the
enemy, and, if possible, turn his left wing.
Here they were met by Gen. Earley's brig
ade, consisting of the Fifth North Carolina
and Twenty-fourth and Thirty-eighth Vir
ginia regiments, with a:squadron of cavalry,
who advanced in line of battle.
Our troops, who were quickly prepared to
receive them, opened a heavy fire on them,
but the enemy steadily advanced to within
200 yards, when Gen. Hancock ordered a
charge with the bayonet, which was execu
ted wito the greatest courage. Tee enemy's
line broke, and they became panic-stricken,
and fled. They left upwards of eighty of
their dead and forty wounded on the field.
We also took nearly 200 prisoners. Our
loss was 17 killed and about 40 wounded.
The colonel and lieutenant colonel of the
Fifth North Carolina Regiment were wound
ed, and among the enemy's dead left on the
field were the bodies of the lieutenant colo
nel and major of the Twenty-fourth Virginia
Regiment, together with several other offi
cers. Their dead were buried by our troops,
and their wounded cared fur.
The conduct of Geo. Hancock and his
brigade on this occasion has excited univer
sal• admiration. A standard of colors be
longing to the rebel cavalry engaged was
captured, and is now on the way to Wash
ington.
When the news of Gen. Hancock's success
became known, a shout went up from • the
tens of thousands of Union troops that made
the country resound for miles around. Gen.
Hancock remained during the night in two
of the works of the enemy.

General McClellan and staff arrived on
the field at fire o'clock, and immediately
rode to the front, where his presence among
the troops was joyfully hailed. lie imme
diately assumed command in person.
The rain has poured in torrents all day.
The troops suffer much from exposure, but
none complain.
From information received from the pris-
oners token the enemy will make a decisive
stand at Williamsburg, reinforcements hav
ing been arriving all day. General J. E.
Johnston is in command of them.

Wasuirrovoiv, May 7.—The following has
been received nt the War Department:
HEADQUARTERS Attar or TILE POTOMAC,
WILIAMSBURG, May 6, 1862.
To Hon. E. Af. Stanton, Secretary of War:
1 have the pleasure to annou nce the occu
pation of this place as the result of the hard
fought action of yesterday.
The effect of Gen. Hancock's brilliant en
gagement yesterday afternoon was to turn
the left of their line of works. He was
strongly reinforced, and the enemy abandon
ed the entire position during the night, leay.,
ing all his sick and wounded in ourhands.
His loss yesterday was very severe.
We have some 300 uninjured prisoners .
and about 400 wounded; their loss in killed
is heavy.
1 have sent cavalry in. ursuit.
The conduct of our men has been excel
lent, with scarcely an exception.
The enemy's works are very extensive
and exceedingly strong, both in respect to
their.position and the works themselves.
Our loss was heavy in Gen. Hooker's divis
ion, but very little in other parts of the field,
Gets. Ilaueock's success was gained with
a loss of not over twenty killed and wounded.
The weather is good to day, but there is
great difficulty in getting up food, cm ac
count of the roods. Very few wagons have
as yet come up.
Am I uuthorized to follow the example of
other Generals and direct the names of bat
tles to be placed on the colors of regiments?
We have other battles to fight before
reaching Richmond. (Signed)
