ny hour may plunge us into a fight, we do not lock for one for some time to come. Washington, May 28--Midnight.--Gen. McClellan telegraphs to the Secretary of War that the battle of yesterday, at Hanover Court-House, resulted in a complete rout rted in Walls rest this afternoon, and the report was very generally credited, that the news had been received that General McClellan was in Richmond.
