To remedy this evil, © Saturday Isat we purchased of the well-Fnown firm of R. Hoe & Co., New York, op% of their celebrated Lightning presses, cape Sle of working off fifty thousand copies of the Star in the course of the afternoon : the machine (vow partly built) and its appurtenances to be sbipped to us in tive weeks. This purchase, to- gether with other improvements in the office con- sequent upon it, involves an additional cash in- vestment of about twenty thousand dollars in the business of the Star, and will enable us to meet the so rapidly increasing demznds of the public for it at this time. 2+ OUR MILITARY BUDGET. eo THE LATE IMPORTANT MOVEMENT, &c. Up to noon to-day, no further information, direct from the Peninsula, had been received in this city (that we have been able to hear of) since that published fa yesterday’s Star. That 5%, except the account of the fight published in vesterday’s New York Tribune, from which we make copious extracts to-diy. If Gen. McClellan and bis 2d v.sers had opprehensions relative to the citectof that battle upon the future progress of our erms there, it stands to reason, he would doubt- e promptly communicated the fact to one. The only forces engaged on tbat day was Mc, Call’s division, which was located on the oppq- site side of a swampy revine, about 2 mile and * half back from the Chicthominy river. The dattle lasted from abont® until p. m., when the enemy drew of, reiewing the attack at the break of day. and after several hours of hard Sqpties, @eh. McCall’s Division was ordered to 2ck. Gen. McClellan wason the field during the afternoon and up to a Late hour at night, directing the movements, and expressed himself well satis- fled with result. On Friday morning commenced what fs called the ‘strategic movement,’ which. it is hoped will be successful, although at one time it nearly Proved fatal to a considerable portion of ¢! army. The following ate the facts of the two-days’ battles: ‘hursday, about noon, the enemy made an attac’ n Gen. Stoneman’s forces in the vicin- ity of Hanover Court House, probably for the Purpose of accomplishing an out-flanking move- ment on the right, and to engage our attention in that direction. Soon afterwards they commenced a vigorous Kenuertgaecat from the works situated onan eminence opposite Mechanicsville, about one and a half miles distant; also from two bat- teries, one above and the other below. They were replied to by Campbell’s Pennsyl vania batteries on picket duty—ome on the Me- echaniceville road, and another from behind earthworks at the right ofa grove. About 2 p. m. the enemy’s Infantry and equad. rons of cavalry crossed the Chickahominy in | mense force, a short distance above the Virginia Central Raliroad, making a rapid advance, through lowlands and forest, teward General McCall’s division, who were entrenched on a hilly woodland across a swamp ravine, about a mile in the rear of Mechanicsville, ‘The First Pennsylvania Rifles (Bucktalls) and Campbeil’s Pennsylvania battery were on picket duty, all of whom, except one company, fell back behiud the breastworks and rifie-pits Where a !ine of battle was drawn up.

The cannonading was kept up on both sides until about 9 p.m, when the battle ceased. Our forces wete covered by earthworks and suffered but slightly. Late in the afternoon the enemy made a char, with cavalry. About one hundred of them came rushing down end attempted to cross the ravine when the horses became mired.
