Many of their men went ashore and perambulated the town, but gave no reason for their visit. On the return of the boats a gang went ashore near the residence of Mrs. Jeremiah Pinner and killed and carried off hogs and poultry to the value of $1,000. Robberies are being constantly committed along the Nansemond river by parties from the gunboats. Suffolk, where they remained until Saturday.
