FIGHTING. NEAR SUFFOLK.

PHILADELPHIA, May IA passenger
from Fortress Monroe this afternoon says:
When he left there yesterday, there was
fighting going on near Suffolk. A force
of Union troops had been sent against
some works that the rebels were construct
ing. 1t was understood the rebels had
been driven some distance but no par
ticulars given.
SUFFOLK, May 4.-[By mail to New
York AT nine O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, Gen. Peck sent force of infantry,
cavalry and artillery across the Nansemond
River at Suffolk, to make reconnaissance.
They advanced cautiously up the old Pc
tersburg turnpike, and when two miles out
encountered the enemy in ritie-pits thor
oughly manned. The S9th New York and
18th New Hampshire made spirited and
successful charge upon the rebel works,
and carried them after heavy resistance.
The enemy fell back out of range, leaving
their dead and some wounded on the field.
During this time the draw-bridge bate
ry and our army guDbOats were playing
upon the enemy, doing good execution
among the sharpshooters secreted in the
woods.
In the afternoon our troops came upon
rebel masked battery situated two and a
half miles north of Suffolk, and at four
O'Clock Davis Massachusetts battery and
the gunboat Briggs commenced shelling it
out.
After thirty minutes the rebels returned
the fire, which was kept up on both sides
until shutdown, when the enemy's battery
was silenced
Col. Ringgold, of the 1O3d New York
regiment, was shot while leading his regi-
ment in front, and died during the night.
The Chaplain of the s5th New York was
wounded.
While the above skirmishing was in
progress. Gen. Getty crossed the Nanse-
mond, four miles below Suffolk, and en-
countered the enemy, and it was rumored
and believed that he had captured rebel
battery of eight guns and large number
of prisoners. This needs confirmation.
Scouts were sent out from Suffolk yes

We learn from gentleman who left
New Carthage on Wednesday, that very
heavy force landed on the Mississippi side,
eight miles above Grand Gulf Our gun
boats have been shelling the latter place
for several days. The Grenada Appeal
says of Col. Grierson's Federal raid, that
besides tearing up the railroad he has de-
stroyed two bridges, each one hundred and
fifty feet long, and seven culverts, burned
twenty-eight freight cars, blown up two
locomotives, and burned the railroad depot
and two commissary buildings at Newton.
He also destroyed five miles of telegraph
wire.
