TIE YANKEES AT SMITHFIELD-CON-
FEDERATE BRAVERY--DEPREDA-
TIONS Upon TIE NEGROES IA

4 correspondent of The Petersburg "Ez
press" furnishes the following items concern
ins the transactions of the Yankees ut Smith
field, Va:
Early on Thursday morning, Captain Caus-
| lay WAS informed by one Of his pickets, thai
ketveeM 500 and 500 Yankees were landing
at Burwelpr Bay. Tho Captain and Lieut..
than thirty men, and determined to make such
resistance Sd their meagro numbers would OIL
low.
A skirmish cnspcd near Mr.. Wren's house.
Oar gallant little band Was compelled to fall
buck, but It'll; disputing the ground with tho
"cncmy's ADVANCE" until they reached Wren's
mill, which, it secms, the enemy intended to
burn, but wero prevented by the timely aid
Of Captain Causcy. 1t was the original plan
of the Yankees to proceed to Smithfold, and
ct tho same timcdestroy Wilson's mill. They
were, ho@eTer, so closely followed, and 80
much annoyed by our men, as to necessitate
n change Of programme, and consequently
found themselves retreating towards the Rock
Wharf. ] say 'retreating," because it is a
we'll established fact that they came to q halt
near Mr.. John Sinclair's house. Our men
advanced, fred on them, and killed one OF
their number, whom Immediately the advance
of tho column marched rapidly towards the
wharf, their rcm yuard following alta double
quick" Arriving at the wharf, there tboy
remained until about three o'clock that night,
when the gunboHts and transports took them
off to Old Point.
During tho day, ten neutrality-suspicious.
and transports-pnssed up the creek to Smith
fiald. and remained there IA part of them un-
til the following morning. A large number
of troops were landed there.
They pulled down fences, carried off no.
grors and committed other depredations.-
Tho drugs and medicines belonging to Mr..
Chalmers were thrown from his drug store
into the street. MIR. Samuel White, an aged
citizen. lost all hia negroes, with one e1cer.
ton. Early Friday morning, oil Of them de-
parted for Old Point nndINcwport News.
The houses Of the citizens visited by the
23d Massachusetts Regiment were not dis
turbed-in fact, the only robberios committed
were upon negroes. / noticed q kitchen, in
which lived an old negro woman, completely
sacked. Everything of any value wus car
ried off, and spinning wheels, etc., broken to
pieces. This may seem strange, but it is neV-
ertheless true.
At Mr.. Wronns', the negroes were badly
treGted, ard one or two watches owned by the
servants were stolen. This regiment boosted
of not interfering with ladies, and q Lieuten-
ant told Mrs. Sinclair the ladies ghould not DO
disturbed. No negroes were carried of by the
men OF this command.
Too much praise cannot be givon to Captain
Causey and his brave band. Some 10 or IL
of tho enemy were killed and wounded
among the former, two officers, said to be a
Major aud Lieutenant.
We bad one man wounded and one taken
prisoner. We captured one man.
