FROM SUFFOLK.
The Enemy Driven Back mt all
t4 Points.
An Attack to be made this Week.
Gen. Longstreet's Opinion Of the Fedora
Position.
SUFFOLK, April II,

SUFFOLK, April II,
via Fortress Monroe.
Yesterday afternoon the enemy drove back
our skirmshers on the Somerton road, which
is Gen. Coreoran's front, and opened or Fort
Union with two pieces of artillery. Our forts
ut once replied and drove them back Our
skirmshers on the South Quay road drove the
enemy back some miles from our lines.
Deserters say the enemy intend to make an
attack this week. Guerrillas were proving
about our TANKS yesterday. They Killed one
man and cut the telegraph wires, which were
soon repaired.
Both railroads between Suffolk and Norfolk
are In running order and amply guarded by
cavalry patrols. No letters are now allowed
to be sent forward by flag of truce except to
prisoners OF war.
80. NEW YORK, April 10.
Suffolk letters report that our forces hold Nan
seinond river for l6 miles, and have defeated
every attempt Of the rebels TO get in our rear.
The rebels expect TO bring against us, includ-
ing reinforcemeRts from Gen. Hill, some 60. 900
men. The delay Of the enemy in making an
attack is as good as reinforcement to us OF
10000 men.
Gen. Longstreet has expressed the opinion
that Suffolk Is too well fortified for him, with
his present force, To risk direct assault on
our works. %#tfrfGF
A Norfolk letter says, NJ am Of the opinion
there will be no great battle at Suffolk. We
outnumber the enemy there and have the adj
vantage of strong entertainments. Unless
Gen. Peck takes the initiative and advances
on the enemy am confident there will be no
battle"
