Casualties.
From Our Special Correspondent.
SUFFOLK Vs., April lo. 1861
Yesterday long train Of box cars Transported all
the sick of the post to Norfolk, that they might be
IN place Of safety, and also that the entire hospital
accommodations Of the place might be had by the
wounded. This looked like business.
Then FoleFs Battery and some other guns thai
~ ere painted during the previous night on the bank
Of the rIver Handsomely aioned for the absence Of
the gunbOats by q vigorous assault on the Rebel
batteries at daybreak, which succeeied in n short
time IN dismountng one, disabling another, and
Cnying the rect away.
During the day the usual amount Of shelling Of
woods on our part and Of mutual diminishing wac
had, causing Il iew-some eight or ten-On our eide
to be wounded more or lees severely. Every ad.
vance N every direction, the part Of the enemy,
was handsomely repulsed with comparatively very
little effort on our part, giving him to perceive
clearly enough that there is no huk loose in the
armof which Gen. Peck has built around US. AID
every hour the works are made stronger and
stronger. Those who deny the industry OF The col
ored men ought to rec them volunteer 10 do their
part IN erecting the def5utes, and the zeal with
which they take hold. | have no donbt that they
Lave built works in five days equivalent to re-
enforcement Of 1900 men.
Prsoners assert that The foe numbers 30 coo, and
Is IN three divisions, under Pickett Hood aud Jeu-
kuson aud that the three diyifions BE waiting The
arrival of Hill from North CarOlina, and Of Long
street, TO command the whole. Last night three
companies of the llth Pennsy lcayalry under
Major Stratton, returned from an expedition TO
Elizabeth CIty, y. c., and by coming through The
Dismal Swamp 90 Deep Creek, succeeded Ia GLIDING
the Rebel force ana reaching camp IN safety. They
destroyed IA road through the swamp.
Our works are rapidly extending down the river,
and wherever the foe stal attempt TO approach he
will find ample piepa ration to meet him.
We have had one 2O-pOuuder Parrot gun disabled
by Rebel shot. Most Of tie prisoners taken 70 far
are from the 18th aud 3jh Virginia. The former
numbers $40 men. From the ugual station in the
heart Of the city every appearance and approach OF
the enemy can be distlnctly seen and hOllned, 70
that few minutes would suffice 10 transfer forces
from one point of the deieLses 10 another and the
man at the station can telegraph 10 gunuers, WHO
cannot see the effect Of their own shots exactly how
10 vary in order to do more execution. ln most re-
sptcts could not ask TO DO better situated for
successful fight. A prisoner taken yesterday de-
clared that he and his fellow soldiers bad IDEA Of
the strength Of our deienses, aud be was glad he
was inside rather than Outside TO attack them.
Other regiments are arriving 10 reinforce u.s. and
az close tins hear the sound of lOO-pOunder Oh
a guubOat, coming up 10 guard The river.
