He appears to be moving his infantry to the right, amid clouds of ascending dust, from the South Quay road to the Blackwater. Two or three of the enemy have visited our abandoned signal station, more are deployed in the fields as skirmishers, and cavalry can be seen on the railroad track. The following was received at about half-past 9 o'clock this morning, from Lieut. Murray, signal officer on the Edenton road: "Our cavalry on the Summerton road have been captured. We have two rebels, who say a large force will attack on the Edenton and Summerton road to-day." This was reported to me by a reliable officer, The field officer of the day is Col. Melver. At this time we can see that the enemy has some field places in position on the Petersburg railroad line, with large bodies of infantry in reserve. Intense excitement was very prevalent.
