Our advices from the country bordering on York river are as late as Saturday last. Up to that period a small force of the enemy continued to occupy a point in New Kent county, known as the "Brick House," but not one had visited West Point since the grand flight of the gunboats and transports immediately after McClellan "changed his base." They doubtless find more scope for their thievish propensities on the Peninsula between James and York rivers, where a direct communication with Fortress Monroe affords them greater security. Two prominent citizens of Gloucester have lately been arrested by the Confederate authorities for trading with the Yankees, though it is believed that their trans actions were prompted rather by cupidity than by any design of returning to "their allegiance under the old flag." Such men are found in every community, and it is perhaps well enough to make an example of them. Many of the people of that county, heretofore in comfortable circumstances, are now
