of our picket line in this vicinity on Tuesday night, but the line was re-established by our forces the next morning. A very handsome little affair occurred one day last week, in the vicinity of Burwell's bay, in which about two hundred and fifty Yankees, belonging to the celebrated Naval brigade, were defeated and routed by a comparatively small force of Confederate scouts, under command of Sergeant Shadburne, assisted by a party of the independent signal corps, under command of Lieutenant Woodley.
