And here, from personal experience, I may express my conviction of the utter impossibility of blockading the Potomac and the Ohio, and shutting off the South from supplies, along a frontier which from Fortress Monroe to distant Kansas extends for some 1,500 miles. If the whole Federal navy was concentrated in the Potomac it would be utterly inadequate effectually to block the innumerable creeks and reaches of that river. Add to this that on both sides the stream dwells a population of which not more than five per cent are in favor of the Union. Ravages of the enemy in Virginia.

He gives it as his opinion that there are not more than 15,000 now in and around Suffolk, and says that an attempt will be made to cross Backwater, at or near Franklin, at an early day, and that the material for pontoon bridges reached Norfolk on Friday week. Corcoran's Irish Legion arrived at Suffolk on Saturday week, and were received with some enthusiasm Corcoran was not with the Legion, being left at Fortress Monroe, where he lies quite ill with aphoid pneumonia. Corcoran is said to have expressed a desire to be assigned to duty at Suffolk, with the hope that opportunity might be afforded of avenging some "indignities" offered him in Petersburg in February last.

ovements but little reliable is known; indeed, they are so carefully concealed that it is next to impossible to fathom them. The report of their retiring upon Richmond, however, I am inclined to doubt — the more probable theory being that they have merely left the front for a more secure and better fortified position behind their second range of batteries. The fight Near Suffolk. Washington, Dec, 3. --The following has been received at the headquarters of the army: Fortress Monroe, Dec. 2. Major-Gen'l W. H. Halleck, General in-Chief: An expedition sent out from Suffolk yesterday by Major Peck, captured to-day the celebrated Pittsburg Battery, which was taken from our army, and drove the enemy across the Blackwater at Franklin's.
