From Gen. McClellan’s Army

WHITE HOUSE, Va., [May] 17.

To Edward M. Stanton, Sec’y of war:

The combined army and naval expedition went some 25 miles up Pamunkey river to-day, and forced the rebels to destroy two steamers and some 20 schooners.  The expedition was admirably managed.  We have advanced considerably to-day.  The roads are improving.

(Signed)
G. B. McCLELLAN.
