From Nansemond. --Nansemond river has a number of gunboats in it, and thieving parties frequently go ashore to annoy the citizens along the river. On Thursday last some Confederate scouts secreted themselves near the mouth of Chuckstuck Creek, and fired upon a party of Kankees, killing two and wounding others. On Saturday, Cherry Grove, a well known farm on the river, owned by Richard H. Riddick, was shelled and the house much injured. The Yankees threaten to burn Cherry Grove, if their men are again fired upon.
