It seems that the expedition which landed at Smithfield on Sunday was organized for the purpose of capturing a number of our pickets, consisting chiefly of members of Major Milligan's signal corps, who had annoyed the enemy considerably on Saturday at Cherry Grove. The Petersburg Express says: On Friday night the gunboat Flora Temple anchored at Cherry Grove, where she remained quiet until 11 A. M., Saturday, when she weighed anchor, and steamed up the Chuckatuck as high as Mr. David Corbell's place, where the creek, being so narrow, she made fast on his landing and worked her way around. The Yankees on board were in high glue, laughing, whistling and dancing. Several members of the signal corps who were concealed in the bushes near by waited until the Flora got abreast of them, when they opened upon the invaders, firing at them 80 rounds, and killing and wounding ten or twelve before she could get beyond range. The pilot and wheelsman were both killed, and others

Brigadier General Graham, accompanied by a Lieutenant-Colonel, one Major Pendleton, and 80 marines, landed at Holliday's Point, on the Nansemond river, Sunday at 12 M. They proceeded to arrest every man in Chuckatuck, both white and black, and then at to eating and drinking. The object of the visit was to await the arrival of the Smithfield expedition; but night approaching, and none of their brother pirates appearing, the General and his party began to "smell a mice," and speedily steamed off to Fortress Monroe. Before leaving they released all the prisoners, white and black, except Mr. J. L. Walraven, late of this city, who was taken off to Old Point with them. While at Chuckatuck Gen. Graham boasted of his recent visit to Brandon, and said he had burnt corn and pork enough there to feed the rebel army for a month or two. Graham is the General who was taken prisoner at Gettysburg, but was subsequently exchanged for Gen. Kemper.

The enemy had not landed any troops at Smithfield at a ate hour Monday night, nor was there a gunboat in Nansemond river, or Pagan or Chuckatuck creeks.
