Hill led 20,000 men over the Chickaho- miny, and advanced against the Federal right, now consisting of Porter's three divisions only. Of these, M'Call's was advanced about a mile from the river to a place called Mechanicsville, and upon him fell the brunt of the first day's fighting. However, the position being good, and intrenched beforehand, the Confederates made little progress. Porter's second division, under Morell, prevented their turning M'Call by any movement in his rear along the river..., and the day closed, after long skirmishing, and considerable loss to the Northerners from the concentrated fire of a YQTj superior number of the enemy's guns, without much advantage to either side. In the night, however, Jackson was arriving from 62 CAMPAIGNS IN VIRGINIA, ETC. Hanover Courthouse, near which he left the raUroad, and moving his troops to Hill's left, to join in a renewed attack next day. On his part, M'Clellan abandoned the hope of maintaining his communica- tions with York Kiver, and resolved to escape for the present to the James, where the gunboats might restore the equality of force, and his supplies be uninterrupted.
