Brick House, May 7 A. M. Gen. G. B. McClellan: All of my division has landed except the cavalry.

M.--The battle of Williamsburg has proved a brilliant victory. None of your friends injured, though our loss considerable. That of the enemy severe. The Quaker army is doing very well. Hancock was superb yesterday. Williamsburg,
