Yankee news.

--A prisoner caught by our troops yesterday on the Chickahominy, four miles north-east of this city, reports that orders had been given by McClellan to attack our army on Tuesday, but the rain prevented, and that an attack would be commenced this (Thursday) morning. Another Yankee, captured near Ashland, says that Lincoln has issued a proclamation calling for 50,000 additional troops to fill the vacancies caused by death, desertion, and the incidents of battle.
