The Yankees at Smithfield.

--Two Yankee gunboats and one transport landed at Smithfield, Isle of Wight county, Va., on Tuesday. They immediately sent fifty men ashore, who quickly spread themselves over the town and arrested several citizens, but these were released in a few hours, upon condition that they would not bear arms against the Lincoln Government. As these men are all beyond the conscript age, such a requirement was altogether unnecessary. At a late hour on Tuesday evening the Yankee visitors had not retired. The object of this visit has not transpired, but it is generally believed to have been organized at Fortress Monroe by Beast-Butler.
