Glallantry OF our Troops at Suffolk.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.--The following has

FORTRESS MONROE, April 10.

10 MloT-GentTdI HGHeck:
deem IL due to the forces at Suffolk to no.
tice briefly their gallant conduct for the last
six days. On Tuesday Gen. Peck's right was
attacked and the enemy's advance was gallant
ly met by Sen Fosters light troops, and the
former driven back to their line of pickets.
Anderson's division was engaged at the same
time on the water front with our gunboats
aud batteries, and suffered materially.
On Wednesday a rebel battery Of
twenty y-pounder riAed guns was silenced
effectively, and an attack on the Smith Briggs
and an armed Quartermaster's boat was repuls-
ed. Repeated attempts have been made on our
lines, but all failed. The storming of the en-
emy's battery near the ives. branch of the
Nansemond by Gen. Getty and the gunboats
under Lieut.. Lawson, of the Navy, and the
c.pture Of six guns and two hundred prisoners,
closes the operations of the six days against
tue enemy's large force, very satisfactorily.
