Report of the Confederate army at Williamsburg and Fair Oaks.

We are not in possession of official documents to prepare full statements of the reports prior to the 26th of June, 1862, and can only give the following outline.

On the 4th of May the army under Johnston at Yorktown, numbering about 55,000 men, was divided into four divisions:

1st, Magruder; 4 brigades, under D. R. Jones.

2d, G. Smith; 8 brigades, under Wilcox, A. P. Hill, Pickett, Colston, Hampton, Hood, Hatton and Whiting.

3d, D. H. Hill; 4 brigades, under Early, Rhodes, Garland and Rains.

4th, Longstreet; 4 or 5 brigades, under McLaws, Kershaw, Semmes and R. H. Anderson.

On the 30th of May the army under Johnston at Richmond, about 70,000 strong, was divided into six divisions:

1st, Magruder; 6 brigades.

2d, Smith; 7 brigades, under Wilcox and Colston, Hampton, Hood, Hatton and Whiting.

3d, D. H. Hill; 4 brigades, under Early, Rhodes, Garland and Rains.

4th, Longstreet; 4 brigades, under McLaws, Kershaw, Semmes and R. H. Anderson.

5th, A. P. Hill; 2 or 3 brigades, under G. B. Anderson and Branch.

6th, Huger; 3 brigades, under Pryor, Mahone and Pickett.

Holmes' division, comprising the three brigades under Ripley, Lawton and rayton, numbering 15,000 men, rejoined the army on the 2d of June.

From the month of June, General Lee's reports enable us to give the most exact particulars.
