Peninsula Items.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] February 25th, 1863.
The following paragraphs are the products of a peep at odd times, within the past few weeks, into the Yankee lines behind Yankee scouts and Yankee pickets, by a rebel scout.
The Yanks on that unfortunate strip of country are a braggadocios and bad people, with faces behind and before; their eyes sometimes no eyes at all, their consciences are only manifested in their thefts, their brains in their retreats and futile skirmishes with our boys.
The poor women are made to suffer intensely, either from want or the apprehensions of a doleful future.
In Hampton and thereabouts — where the greatest number of contraband are — negro brigades are being organized, armed, drilled, &c.--More than four hundred negroes are at King's Mill, where the negro recruiting officers from Hampton operate in behalf of their respective commands, frequently extending their recruiting circuit to Williamsburg where they

Two more only are now due. Our iron-clad navy will soon have full and complete control of Charleston harbor.
The health and spirits of the troops are good, and everything indicates success.
The requirements of the public service, in addition to my own desire not to say anything which may conduce, however remotely, to the benefit of the rebels, prevent my giving your readers a full description of the iron-clads now in these waters.
Our antagonists have shown an amount of prudence and inventive capacity in this war for which few were, until lately, disposed to credit them; and although it is almost an impossibility to imagine any engine of destruction more nearly perfect in all that constitutes offensive and defensive
