Gen. McDowell Washington City, D.C.
Manassas Junction May 28, 1862. 1 P.M

Gen. McClellan, at half past six P.M. yesterday telegraphed that Fitz John Porter's Division had fought and driven thirteen thousand of the enemy, under Gen. Branch2Open page from Hanover Court-House, and was driving them from a stand they had made on the Rail-Road, at the time the messenger left. Two hours later he telegraphed that Stoneman had captured an Engine and six cars on the Virginia Central which he at once sent to communicate with F. J. Porter. Nothing further from McClellan.

If Porter effects a lodgement on both R.R. near Hanover C.H. consider whether your force in front of Fredericksburg should not push through and join him. A. LINCOLN
