The Yankee in command of this expedition was, we think, General John H. Logan, formerly of the Tenth corps. Though the dispatch above mentioned does not mention the fact, we are inclined to believe that General G. W. Smith commanded our forces. Grahamsville is thirty miles northeast of Savannah.

War Department any information in regard to this important event. Gunboats in the Rappahannock. Last Thursday, two Yankee gunboats came into the Rappahannock, attended by a flotilla of oyster boats. The gunboats fired on our oyster boats in the river, and drove them off to make room for the Yankee fishermen. In the course of the day, some barges from the gunboats attempted to land in Essex, but were fired on and driven off by our local troops. It was reported last night that Mosby had found another wagon train, and burned it after some fighting with the sword. He lost two men in the engagement. The precise locality of the affair is not certainly known, but is supposed to be on the ill fated Martinsburg pike. Successful expedition against the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Major-General Rosser, on Monday last, made a successful descent upon the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at New creek. Except the fact that he captured five pieces of cannon, the particulars of

It, however, turned out that all the noise was made by our guns, at different points on James river, practising to obtain certain ranges; trying to see how they could have knocked the Yankee monitors into cocked hats if they had been there.

If all we hear be true, Grant has made a most important movement on our extreme right, south of Petersburg. A gentleman from Petersburg informs us that, on Thursday morning the enemy, with a large force of cavalry and two divisions of infantry, struck the Weldon railroad at Stoncy creek, twenty miles south of Petersburg, and having burnt the railroad bridge at that place, started south, towards Weldon, destroying the railroad and laying waste the country as they advanced.

From South Carolina--the enemy Beaten at Grahamsville, S. C. We have previously stated that the enemy were landing troops from fourteen gunboats and transports at Port Royal. An official dispatch, received at Gene
The War News. The heavy boom of big guns was heard in this city throughout yesterday, giving rise to the belief either that a battle was going on below the city or that an uncommonly lively time was being had in the vicinity of Butler's canal. It, however, turned out that all the noise was made by our guns, at different points on James river, practising to obtain certain ranges; trying to see how they could have knocked the Yankee monitors into cocked hats if they had been there.

A gentleman from Petersburg informs us that, on Thursday morning the enemy, with a large force of cavalry and two divisions of infantry, struck the Weldon railroad at Stoncy creek, twenty miles south of Petersburg, and having burnt the railroad bridge at that place, started south, towards Weldon, destroying the railroad and laying waste the country as they advanced. The Petersburg Express states, on the information of passengers by the South side road, that Stoney creek station was seized by a large force of Yankee cavalry, who held it at last accounts. We fear the account above given by us is the true one, and that the movement is more serious than a cavalry raid. It is proper to state that we have been unable to obtain from the War Department any information in regard to this important event. Gunboats in the Rappahannock.
