On the morning of the 7.b, at daylight, General Gregg’s sevairy, the Third division of the Second corps and the #..th corps marched In the direction of Stony Creek sta, Mon, and the same day crossed the Nottoway river on pon- foons without serious opposition from the enemy. De" werters report M.hone's rebel division in pursuit, Yesterday afternoon a force of cavalry advanced from ‘@ur lives on the left, encountered». rebel pickets on the ‘Vaughn road, and drove them to their breastworks at Hatcher's rap, The object of this reconnoisssance Baving been attained the expedition returned We Yost seven mon wounded. The enemy’s toss was not on this reconnoissance report cannonading in the direction of Stony Creek ste ‘ton, showing that the force under General Warren, which started on the Tth, was engaging the enemy, Reporte concerning the evacuation of Petersburg are now revived. . The men who accompany General Warren were de- Ngbted at the prospect of their march, and evinced their | ‘ey ‘0 words and gestures. In ten minutes after the orders to march were received the Fifth corps was pur- ‘suing its serpentine course to the rear. The trosps of the a and Fifth corps bad orders to maas between the Ha- ifax and Jerussiem p!ank roade, which ran parallel t> the ‘Weldon Raiiroad..and on each side of it. The troops Divouacked for the night after having formed a junction, and were exposed toa storm of rain, which, however, id pot materially Gampen their ardor. There are ‘warious specujations as to the destinatton of these forces, ‘bot they are all vague and worthless.

The videttes of the enemy were driven across the ran, when a sharp fire was opened ob the adyance trot a Itne of broxstworks op the opposite side, After some skirmishing to discover the strength of the enemy, & charge was made across the ron, and tbe | works carried by agsauit; but not till the rebels had gpade good their retreat up the ‘south side’ Our men took position in the captured intrenchmente, whilo skirmishers were thrown out om both finks.

Information reached the olty yratarday moraing that e force from Gran ’s army had struck tho Petersburg and Weldon Road at Jarre't’s, thirty-two miles south of Pe- fteraburg, and were proceeding \owards Weldon. Up to the time or writing, no offictal advices have been re- ceived ta relation to this expedition. We learn from ono‘fcial sources that a beavy column of the enemy, consisting of infantry, artillery, and cay- airy, left our front at Peter burg on Tuesday night, moving dowo the Jerusalem plaak road, and were re- pomed on Wednesday morning to be at Prootor’s milis, twevty miies south of Petersburg. ince thas time thoy wore not heard from t!!] yesterday morning, when the information above mentioned was received bere. This column of the enemy fs said to consist mostly of infantey, from which it is inferred to be aimpiy & Paiding party, similar to the one which visited Stony creek lagt week, and that it is not prepared for an ex-. tensive and protracted expedition. There are, however, those who fear that itisa movable column destined (o operate first against Weldon, and then, perhaps, lo con- tinue its march and (ake Wiiminyim in the rear, AB ab Pregent informed we are not prepared to oxprone an opinion.
