! Yankees.
/ The special correspondent Of the New York
! " Herald writes from the camp on the Chick
/ ahominy:"
/ The country as we progress becomes more
| open and diversified, and houses, which, since
| we left the immediate vicinity Of Yorktown,
| were few ard fsr between, now spring up trom
points on every side, and give to the country an
/ air Of civilization which Is refreshing 10 behold.
Some of these residences still retain their look Of
chesrfulness and net few of them sre inEabiI-
"a by the families Of the owners, minus the
males, with the exception Cf those who are OF
such an advanced age TO be unable to enter
the army of Jefferson Davis. In one Of these
houses distant about seven miles from Richmond,
and now some miles within our lines, YVES found
the family OF the rebel Gen. Il J5t Lee, consist
ing of Mrs Lee, her daughter-in-lsw, tie wife Of
Col Lee, OF the Kent cavalry, and two nieces.
From what | can learn concerning them. Il Gp-
pears thss they were sent here from Richmond
by q IN Lee about six days before our forces ad-
vanced and took pOss, ,ssiOn, and have been liv-
ing here under guard of Union soldiers since the
arrival of cur advanced quad When the grand
army came up, one OF our genela-s sent party
Of soldiers to eaIch the house occupied by Mrs.
Lee and family, with view to secure some val
usble papers which were supposed to be seeTeted
in the house The soldiers made the search, and,
after having become satisfied that there was R0ih-
ing contraband, except the ladies, ON the prem
ises, were about to depart, when Mrs Lee hand
ed a note to the officer in charge, which was d.
rected 10 the commanding officer Of the division,
with the Tequ 3 that it should be handed to him
in person. The note was delivered per lnstIuc-
tions, aud is as follows:
To the General in command
SIR have patiently and humbly submitted
to a search Of my house by men under your com
mand, who are satisfied that there is nothing
here that they want. all the plate and other val
uables having long since been removed 20 Rich
mond, and are now beyond the reach Cf any
Northern msTsujers who may wish for their pos
session. WIFE OF ROBERT LEE,

tesn sent 10 this place by General Lee, who
could net bu. know that cur troops would take

Of peaceful citizens, whose only wish has been
to be 81 let alone " We live with the exPeeia-

| From the News CT the 5;h
| From BELOw.-For several days past we
have heard nothing OF the enemy's vessels in
! our river or q the movements of their fJrces.
On Wednesday night, two or three Of their
small boats came up to cur Instructions in the
channel, doubtless lOr the purpose OF ascertain
ing their character and precise location, WHEN
| our piciets in the vicinity fred on Them. The
Yankees returned the FIRE, and scme huud-ad
shots were exchanged between them and a Z =
| tachEeut Of Capt. Easou'5 corps, belonging ,
Gel. Ways regiment
The skrmish-in which no one WIS hurt on
our side-took place near Screveu's ferry.
The YANKELS is OUR RYER-Between u
and | o'cl, ck on Thursday morning, while Mid
shpmGn Wilji an +. Wi's1n, with four men, in
charge of the guard boat, was proceeding to TO
lieve the ms iguard-bOGt near the obs ructons he
suddenly found himself between two Yankee
boats, and not more than fifty yards from one Of
than. The nearest Yankee boat contained
about twenty men, and both their boats gave
chase TO Midshipmsn Wilson, with the intention
to capture him Our men Immediately steer,
their boat for the Carolina shore, where they
safely arrived, aud then threw up several signal
rockets. Sore firing took place between the
parties, but no one on our side was Injured. Il
seems hat the Yankees got their boat this side
of the ObStructions, and thus came near capiur-
ing cur picket boat
II is due to say thai Mdshipmau Wilson is
but sixteen years Of age, native Of AIabsm',
and that TO his courage and presence OF m Id it
mainly atiributsbls the escape OF our picket
boat from capture and the defeat Of the Yankees
in their daring reconnaissance. After tie firing
between the boats hsd ceased. our picket boat
returned and took is usual station. The picket
of the 18Th Georgia regiment, Oh duty al the
point, as usual, did its duiy.

of the hazards of tie position. Night before last,
