Gen. McClellan was before Yorktown on Sunday last, where the rebels were in large force and well fortified. We may expect by the next mail, news of a battle, if not more bloody than that in Tennessee, fully equal to it. We await the receipt of further news with great anxiety. Yorktown is probably before this, in our possession, and our triumphant troops marching “Forward to Richmond!”
