Battle Ground, Near Mechanicsville May 31--6 P. M.
yesterday evening, about 8 o'clock, there was a considerable engagement between a portion of Early's and Rodes's divisions, of Ewell's corps, and the 5th corps of the Yankee infantry.
The fight lasted about two hours. We drove the enemy back about a mile and a half, until they reached a strongly entrenched line of works, from which it was impossible to dislodge them.
We attacked the enemy for the purpose of discovering his position, and found him strongly masked and entrenched on our right.
The fight occurred near Bethesda Church, on the Mechanicsville road, about nine miles from Richmond.
Our loss was about 300 wounded and 50 killed. Among the former are: Col Willis, of the 12th Ga, and Major Smith, of the 45th N C. Among the latter, is Col. Terrell, 13th Va, mortally wounded and left in front of the enemy's works.
We captured about 180 prisoners.
The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is supposed to be heavier than ours.
To-day there has been heavy cannonading and sharp skirmishing in Mahone's front, but no general engagement.
It is supposed the enemy are still moving towards our right, so as to cover and use the York River Railroad.
