From Portsmouth.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Portsmouth, Va., This is a charmingly bright morning, though the air is cool and bracing. There is not much of importance to communicate, and yet there are a few incidents which may not be uninteresting to your readers. On Saturday afternoon, a troop of Cavalry, the Sussex Light Dragoons, consisting of about seventy members, commanded by Capt. Belsches, rode into our city, and after a brief sojourn on our side of the river, resumed their line of march to Norfolk, their destination for the present. After the parade at the Hospital at 6 P. M., on Saturday, the men at the battery of the great guns were exercised by Capt. McIntosh, formerly of the Navy now under Lincoln.--The orders were executed promptly and skill-fully — the men at the several guns evincing that desire to excel which actuates our people, and is characteristic of them in all they undertake. There has been organized, since the vandalism at

o ascertain the damage done to the road, discovered a large body of Yankee cavalry crossing the road and moving towards the Clover Hill Pits. The force was afterwards ascertained to be about 3,000, and it is believed that they have gone up to cut the Richmond and Danville Railroad, and perhaps to keep on to the canal. The Spears raid upon Petersburg — it Marches to city Point. We have some further particulars of Spears's raid on the rear of Petersburg. On Monday, after burning Maj. Belsches's mill and dwelling, and every out-house on his plantation, they proceeded to the premises of Mr. Niblett, not far distant, when they burnt that gentleman's mill, but did not molest his dwelling or out-houses. Late in the day they swung around towards James river, and burnt Baxter's and Temple's mills in Prince George county. On Thursday night they camped at Mt. Sinal Church, in Prince George county, where they cooked up their stolen sheep, hogs, cattle and poultry. A gentleman who sa

arrived in camp without further interruption at six o'clock on Saturday morning. He brought everything safely with him, losing only some twenty or thirty cattle from fatigue. These cattle were brought through town yesterday afternoon, and have been placed in a position secure from Yankee raiders. During the return of the expedition from Prince George, General Kantz followed in Lee's rear with fifteen hundred men and four pieces of cannon, but he at no time came within shooting distance. At one time General Lee halted, and fed and watered his animals. Kantz also halted. But we understand from good authority that after the battle at Belsches, Kantz turned his troops loose upon the citizens of Prince George and robbed and pillaged them generally in revenge for our success. This is poor revenge for a brave man to take. In the fight at Sycamore church and Cox's mill three hundred fine Yankee horses were captured, which will be put to useful service in the Confederate army.
