The Peninsula.
There are no movements on the
Peninsula.
Our cavalry are scouting below
Barhamsville, in New Kent, and on Sunday killed a Yankee picket and wounded another.
This occurred between
Barhamsville and the
Brick House.
The
Yankees are clearing out the country below there.
They burned the house of
Mr. Pinckney Walker last week, and are carrying off all the negroes they can lay their hands on. The
York River train last evening brought up about fifteen men and one woman, who were caught trying to get through our lines to the enemy.
Most of the men had been employed in the
Government workshops here.
The citizens on the
Peninsula took the parties in custody and sent them up to
Richmond.
All hands of them were sent to Castle Thunder.
There are no gunboats lying off
Yorktown.
