Thirteen of our cavalry were taken on Thursday night last, in Gloucester county, at a frolic or party at the house of a Mr. Sinclair.

Gloucester county has chawed more tobacco since the war, than when all her soldiers and other citizens were at home. A regular trade is carried on with the Yankees across York river.
