| M'Clellan's Movements |

| Later |
| Since the above was in type,
we have come into possession of some entirely reliable and highly
interesting information regarding McClellan's movements. At 8 o'clock
yesterday morning, the superintendent of the
{Richmond &} York River railroad left Richmond with an engine,
intending, owing to the uncertainty of the enemy's movements, to go only
as far as Dispatch station. But on arriving at this point he received a
message from Colonel Roper commanding our cavalry in New Kent, that he
might safely proceed to the White House, the enemy not being, or likely
to be in the neighborhood of the road. Proceeding down the road, at
Tunstall's he had an interview with Major Roper, from whom he received
satisfactory information of the enemy's movements. ***** |
