Llili's division, of Mechanicsville, though without decisive results, except the possessing of ilia place, served to attract the attention of McCiellan froin a movement in his rear which overwhelm ed him. There llili's division of 12,000 men stood successfully, opposed to at least four limes their number, behind earth-works, which they, one after auoth er, evacuated, carrying otf llreir guns, which, mounted on wheel carriages, were 1 not captured, as some of our cotempora ries announced yesterday, though their positions were gained and held. Many valuable lives were lost at Mechanicsvillo, but they received immortality there. At 3 o'clock, on Friday morning, the grand coup de main of Gen.T. I. Jarckson was accomplished. With bis army, which failed to get into position the previous evening, he, fresh from the field of exploits in the Valley, came down the Chickahominy on the right flank of MeClellan'a army, to Coal Harbor, in the enemy's roar, and put hie front upon it at Old Church. The enemy had fallen back still further during the nigtit, [and Hill's an J Longstreet's divisions pressed hirn in fe.xnt o r??I l.\A I? * * ?UUi ?uu icib unuh. cany yesieruay morn' | jug. Thus, by a strategy unparalleled for its brilliancy, was McClellao circum vented. Up to this writing, we have no accounts of the batt.e that has V een progrossing that would justify particular?, but McClellan and his main army was reported retreating down the Chickahcm iny, bearing off from "Stonewall's" guns in tho direction of West Point, where the gunboats were lying ready to cover him. It was 6 o'clock when the enemy gave way, after leaving their last breastwork battery of thirteen guns, which was their best, mounting beavy siege guns. Mc C ellau retired, burning up bis stores at the depots of his lines. From the top of ' the C^ilol, in the square, shafts of white srnoke could be seen rising in the direc* tion of Old Church and the White House. At first this was thought to originate from the firing of cannon, that could not be beard froin the distance, tbe wind also being contrary ; but later in tbe day it was ascertained to have been caused by the destruction by tbe enemy of his im ujouao Murcn, on 10 me right of the Mecha'niciviilo Pike, on llio faini of Dr. Gaines. Tbe muttering* of tbe figlu could be occasionally beard through the report of heavy guns, but it died entirely away as the scene of the conflict was removed by the retreat of the enemy and the advance of the Confederate forces. The retreat of McCSellan's army, and the pursuit of the Confederate army, has moved our bate of iuforraatior. concerning the fight, which, we learn, was kept up at intervals with great severity ; but, i through the kindness of an officer from our lines, we have been supplied with a very intelligent pencil diagram, furnishing the positions of the retreating and pursuing forces. Jackson's army was represented as moving down considerably this aide of the Pamunkey, for a trestle bridge spanning it at tbe railroad, with the intention of stripping McClellan, whose forces were making for the same bridge to secure it M * ceoaaing lintone it wee seined or burn- i el by Jackson. Gens. Lmgstreet'a, A. l\ Hill's nnd I). II. Hill's Divisions were pressing bar.] upon McClellan's rear, while Magruder and iiuger, on the Chickahotniny, held our right wing in the direc tion of New Bridge, with a portion of the enemy in Jfront of them. This was the supposed situation of the armies up to yesterday afternoon. It appears to be conceded that the enemy successfully withdrow their forces from the position 1 held by them on Thursday night, after 1 the capture of Meehanicsville, leaving be hind, as a blind, some skirmishers and a ' battery, which, when charged upon by tbe advance yesterday morning at day | light, was found to be einnfv of men aiw) guea. A pursuit of three hours brought our forces upon a formidable battery of ] thirty guns at (iaines' Mill, near the New Kent lvoad. Here occurred our heaviest < loss. The breastworks were situated on ' a bluff, across a mill dam, canal and i swamp, with rifle pits in front. Our troops charged through and over ail with a valor and determination lr >Tt swept everything, clearing rifle pits and battery at the point of the bayonet. The troops that did ibis splendid act of gallantry were from North Carolina?the brigade of Gen. Pender. This was accomplished I through terrific volleys of musketry, shell, round shot, grape and canister, that piled the ground with the valorous dead and wounded. We learn from Major John M. Daniel, j ol llie General's staff, serving with Gen | 11 ill in these battles, and who, about 4 o'clock last evening, was obliged to leave the field in consequence of having had his right arm shattered by a M nio hall, that at the lime lie left the field Hill's ^ division, which had been engaged the whole day, nni victories throughout, was engaged in a terrible battle with the en einy near New Goal IIarbor, and were " overmatched by large masses of the ene- ( my. Just as the Major was wounded . several large bodies of troops were ap j pearing on the field, which were troops of Gen. Lrngstreel's division. Gen. J.ick son was engaged on Gen. Hill's left during the day, but was also in lime to join ( in the general engagement, which ensued about five o'clock in the evening. At this hour the action became gen ^ eral for the first time on the UicLmond ^ lines. No such collision of numbers lias yet occurred in the history of the war.? . It is estimated that seventy five thousand n Confederate troops were engaged with an equal, if not superior, force of the ene iny. The scenery of the battle field is . described ss awfully sublime, and its j sights of carnage as exceeding in ghastliness the worst imaginations of the bor ^ rors of war. L Nightfall lias caused the intermission c of the terrible conflict. From the best y and most reliable information we can ob- f tain, the field was undecided, when the , action was intermitted to be resumed , ibis morning. The field of the imposing t battle, on which the grandest fortunes , ever contested awaits decision, is about ( twelve miles from the city of li ehmood. The enemv's rAtroni i*" i- - 1 - J - ?wo wci laiuij liUk ?? rout, as it lias been described oil tlie street corners, lie left his ground hi leisure, carrying otF all h;? dead aid wounded, leaving no marks of disorder on the route of his retreat but such hs are incidental, of course, to the move : meuts of large masses. There is occasion to apprehend that j McClellan, in falling back on his present I ne of defence, bus improved his position. The advantages of Ins present position are mainly artificial, but they are consid ered important and serious, although he gave up yesterday several positions of gieal natural advantage, especially thai at Mechanicsville, upon which he had ex pended every resource to make it impreg liable. It is impossible to estimate tbe loss in yesterday's engagement. The only stale menu wo can get of the casualties of the terrific battle of the evening are vague and gbasily messages that ''the ground is covered with dead." The spirit of our i ?

The regiments which seem to have suffered the most, in the'three days' en> i g.igements, were the 14th and 44ib | North Carolina, 4th and )9il> Georgia, | and the 1st Louisiana. The Virginia , i troops suffered severely. The light hat i teries suffered severely. Purcell's battery, i of Richmond, Colonel Lindsay Walker, < went into the actioo of Thursday evening ' with above ninety men, and brought out i only thirty or f <rty. Seventeen of their ( horses were killed. The Maryland bat- t tery, Captain Soowdeti Andrews, in the t me butila, lost "five uien killed end n wounded, and several bcrses. Doctor ( Hunter, of Maryland, the surgeon, was : filled. Tlio Chesapeake Artillery wan s ordered to join General Longalreel's di a vision on the right, and was not en- i o gaged. e An interesting incident occurred in the v Pamunkey.on Thuradav. A raft batterv, b protected will: iron sides, was annoying a our troops in that direction, when a regi. j t< ment of sharp shooters was detailed to I capture it. They proceeded to the brow d of a hill immediately commanding tiie , a battery, and opened Ore down upon it.? d Ahout a dozen Yankees were killed and e wounded by the vo'ley, a shock which a took them ro much by surprise that they b concluded to give up ; so, hoisting a shirt j h out upon a pole, the survivors sung out ; a "we surrender 1" Our sharp shooters im w mediately went down, took possession, ? and sotit the craft to the bottom ol the , h river.?Jlichnioml Examiner,, 28th.

Sir J. Walsh denounced tire proclama J ion as repugnant to the feelings of the j ineteenth century. Lord 1'almerston thought that no man ' ould rend the proclamation without feellgs of the deepest indignation. (Cheers ) 1 was a proclamation to which he did ot scruple to attach the epithet of in tmous. (Cheers.) An Englishman must dush to think such an act lmd I.kao I ommitted by a m?n belonging to tbe Vnglo Saxon rsce. If it had sprung rdm some barbarous people not withm he pale of civilization, one might have egrelted it, but would not have been >urpriscd. But that such an order should have been issued by a soldier?by a man who had raised himself to the rank of a General ? was a su'ject not less of astonishment than pain. Mr. Gregory deprecated any fussing or ! meddling interference with (he ellairs of foreign Slates, and entire:y disapproved | of the homilies which were being conlin* ually lead to foreign powers by Iler M?j esty's Governrnet. This, however, was an exceptional case A proclamation had been issued by a General of the United States repugnant to decency, civilization And humanity, which was to be put in force against a people to whom we were connected by every lie of family, lan guage and religion. It was the duty of the Government to protest against such a proclamation, and appeal to the moral sense of the world against an outrage so wicked, so inexcusable, and so useless. Anr Vx.mU. - ? U. ?.
