An immense fleet is still behind — in all not less than 500 sail. There was a prize for which the rebels struck at the White House, and which eluded them completely.

e regiment. General Fitz John Porter, sorely pressed, crossed to the right, or western side of the Chickahominy, the enemy taking the left. On his left McClellan, with much severe fighting, had penetrated and passed through White Oak Swamp, to a secure and advantageous position, and had subsequently cut through a line of communication with the James river. It is reported that, during the two days fighting, McClellan's loss was 10,000. Under this head we have no particulars whatever. Col. Alexander had come through to James river to select, the new base and Turkey Bend had been decided on. This is not far from thirty miles from Richmond, and some ten miles above City Point. The most prominent and important feature covered by the report is that McClellan has succeeded in penetrating White Oak swamp, and in placing a very large force on the other side of it. While this must have advanced a heavy body of his boat troops to within four miles of Richmond. It was ... of the last In

As soon as confusion in the rebel ranks was apparent, Gen. Porter ordered Gen. Meagher's Irish brigade to charge bayonets, which they did in the most gallant and heroic style, bareheaded; in their shirt sleeves, occasionally with these rolled up.--This charge had an excellent effect. The rebels were driven back with great slaugk with his command, and cross the Chickahominy. The order was executed in fine style, and our troops did not miss a man, the enemy being too severely punished to follow us closely. The only difficulty was with the Pennsylvania Reserves and Meagher's Irishmen--their commanders exerting all their powers to induce these brave men to cease firing. They saw the advantages gained by hard fighting, and they were anxious to follow up the success. General Porter thought he would be reinforce

ss Monroe, Monday, June 30. --During last night a large number of steamers, tow-boats, and sail craft, arrived from York river. An immense fleet is still behind — in all not less than 500 sail. There was a prize for which the rebels struck at the White House, and which eluded them completely. Probably not to exceed $100,000 worth of property was destroyed to prevent its falling into the enemy's hands, consisting of whiskey, pork, corn, locomotives, and a small number of arms. Quartermaster Ingalls, who arrived at 5 P. M. yesterday, left during the night to go up the James river. This morning information has been received that the gunboats have established communication with McClellan's left wing, so that all uneasiness relative to the new base is at an end. As yet we are without particulars of the operations of the army for nearly four days, further than that a dispatch from a high source acknowledges that the change of line had been attended with "a serious reverse."

t of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Fortress Monroe on Monday afternoon, says: The affair of Saturday last partook more of the nature of a battle than the engagements of Thursday or Friday. Gen. Fitz John Porter has covered himself with glory. He selected a very strong position, and, having posted his forces in an admirable manner, was prepared to hold it against any force of the enemy. The brave men of his command all fought with heroic courage, and the volunteers vied with Gen Sykes's regulate in making steady movements, and carefully executing the commands of their officers. Time and again vast hordes of rebels moved up in solid columns upon our troops, but our regular batteries as often mowed them down in a most destructive manner. Steady discharges of shell, grape, and canister, in regular salvos, seemed to sweep down whole companies. As soon as confusion in the rebel ranks was apparent, Gen. Porter ordered Gen.

in sight of White House Point. The houses burned on all night, and the scene presented was one of the grandest I ever beheld. The rebels were not in eight on Sunday morning when we moved down the river. The gunboats dropped down with us some miles, and anchored under a bluff, so as to allow the rebels a chance to come as far east as they chose. A boat sent up to communicate with Gen. McClellan by way of James river was fired on recently by a rebel field battery. A portion of Gen. Stoneunan's command was ordered to Yorktown and Williamsburg to guard the telegraph wires and open direct communication with Gen. McClellan. Arrangements are perfecting under the direction of officers of high standing here, to convey a full supply of stores to Gen. McClellan's army, but by what means I am not at liberty to publish.
