Our feet in the james River has been increased

These gun-boats passed mp the james River with
out meeting any obstacle the being lined with
numerous white flags TO show that no enemy was
near. Yesterday the Ceur dc Lion and Stepping
Stones were ordered TO proceed up the AppomattoX
River toward The City Of Petersburg, which is built
on It's banks. They proceeded up this stream for "a
distance OF ten miles above its mouth without mOles-
iaon but Just at this point there III what is called
the Z" Seven Mile Reach" On side the ground
was low and marshy, but on tho other northern
bank side there was q sort Of bluff upon which
there appeared to be an eartbwork; but, on close
examination, It was observed that no guns were
mounted upon ts paraIct.
Moving up little further, tie enemy's troops
were discovered, composed OF infantry and cavalry,
IN rome force. They were skulking around under
cover Of houses aud clumps Of trees Our gunboats
moved up close under shore when they were saluied
with heavy volley Of musketry.
Capt. Hamilton Of the CGur Dc Lion ordered hir

company Of Rebel infantry In the house, setting
fire 10 the latter.
The fire from the gunboats was kept up for about
thirty minutes, bat was not returned by the Rebels,
who having artillery, got out Of the way as fast
as they could.
The eunboafs then proceeded mp little further,
until within sight of Port Waltha meeting no bat
teIies, or signs Of any being constructed.
There was plenty Of wafer in the Appomattox for
light.draught vessels, and the reconnaissance was
one of the most essful aud important that has
been made during the war.
Port Walhsll may be called TIE port Of Peters.
burg aud Richmond for large vessels ard is connect
ed by railroad With both cities. IL is therefore, an
important strategic poiuf and is directly in the rear
Of the Rebel army before Richmond.
Petersburg, five miles above Port WalihalI, is one
Of the most important cOmmercialand manufacturing
cities in the South, and five important Southern rail-
roads rndiate from IL north and south. 1t contains
population Of over 1900 souls, and is built mostly
Of brick and stone.
Deserters taken up by our eunboats report strong
nnder current Of Union feeling in the City Of Peters
burg, and they also report that there Is great suffer
ing from the scarcity of food. Flour went up last
week from $40 per barrel to $7, aud ID very scarce
and sing. There are only about GOO troops in and
around Petersburg, aud these are encamped on the
New-Markot Race Course, two miles east OF the
city, on the Prince George County Railroad.
All remains quiet throughout this department.
Our forces have held communication overland, with
the forces Of Gen. Burnside, but at what points j
