ave been scouring the country from Wintonsville to Zuni, keeping close watch of the movements of the enemy. On Monday Major George Stetzel, in command of companies L and D, with two mounted howitzers, started for Holyneck Chapel, Wainvale, and South Quay. Hearing that the rebels were rebuilding the bridge at Franklin, Major Stetzel went rapidly from South Quay to Franklin, and, secreting his command in the woods, proceeded to reconnoiter Franklin.

On the 3d of July a party of Yankee cavalry, about sixty in number, went out from Suffolk to South Quay and burned all the houses at that place. They also obtained a small quantity of cotton and pork, a wagon and four mules, and returned the same day to Suffolk. This expedition is characterized by the Northern papers as a grand affair. On Thursday last, two brigades of cavalry, from Grant's army, passed through Suffolk toward Portsmouth. They were supposed to belong to Sheridan's command. Their destination was unknown.
