FoRrREss MosRoR, VA, Oct. 81 The only
news Of any kind stirring about is the mar Of
truce that went TO day from here to Norfolk,
with 70 discharged prisoners, and two ladies'
As this was the first flag that has left here
since the concentration OF our fleet at this
point, some interest was felt In regard to Its
reception. In my letter of yesterday gave
the order issued by Gen Wool, ex planning
the object Of the nag Of truce, which was the
sending or 20 discharged rebel prisoners, and
the forwarding Of two ladies to their friends
! also gave you the names of the prisoners.
at eleven O'Clock this morning, Capt. VIM.
Jay, Atd-de.Camp to Gen. Wool went on
board the propeller Fanny Cadwalisder, of
Baltimore, accompanied by his orderly, who
had a bag OF letters in charge which were in
tended for our troops a the hands of the reb-
els. BY the kind permission of Major Gene
raj Wool, your correspondent was allowed to
accompany the flag; and after Deputy Pro-
vost Marshal Duval had finished thu exami-
nation Of the ladies' trunks taking therefrom

started on its peaceful mission. We very
shortly after leaving the pier from the fort ar.
rived opposite TO Sewells Pc int, and we
could plainly see the rebel Notifications,
which are anything else but despicable. All
along the shore, and at Kenna creek, formi-
dable entertainments are erected. and the
dark muzzlss of heavy heid pieces are staring
the beholder in the face from the embrazures.
The propeller was allowed to proceed to
house, when an insignificant little tug boat, of
about fifteen tons measurement was seen
coming towards US, and having hove to, the
tug ran on our larboard side. When / first
sized sail boat, as scarcely anything else but
the white flag could be deserted. However,
on coming under the bow of our boat, made

I could not help contrasting the effect be-
tween that and our glorious Star Spangled
Banner, then proudly doating from the mast
head Of our propeller, looking fresh and de
family pure. Besides that the rebel fiag-the
Stars and Bars-measursd about two feet by
four, whereas our banner was large sized
steamer flag, with the thirty four stars clus-
tering in the blue field.
As soon as the rebel ting was made fast to
our boat Captain Jay saluted the rebel officer
on the former, a Second Lieutenant, with cold
formality, handed to him dispatches from the
department, and transferred the mail bag,
ladies prisoners and trunks, to the tug, re-
ceiving in return dispatches addressed to
Maj Gen. John E. Wool. and bundle Of
letters from Secessia. Not half a dozen words
were spoken on either side, and no one was
allowed to say nything to the rebels on board
the tug.
The Lieutenant in charge of the tug boat
was young man, apparently about twenty
years of age, with very pleasing coun,e-
nance. He was attired in fatigue flannel
coat having Virginia State buttons on, pair
trimmed with gold cord. At his side hung a
cavalry sabre, probably one Of the many
stolen by Floyd. He also wore pair of
heavy buckskin gauntlets. On the deck OF
The tug were about halfa dozen rebel soldiers,
dressed in gray uniforms, all of whom appear
ed to be in an advanced state of consum ption
or starvation. Capt Jay was in vited 10 come
on board of the tug, but he very politely re-
fused the invitation; and having transacted
his business, gave orders 10 heaye about and
return to the fort.
According to the observation had of the
part of Secessia above described, il seems to
points along the coast without resulting in a
fearful loss of life. Facing the bay are any
number of batteries, which, judging from the
tents behind them, are sastaluad by a large
force of infantry. Between Craney Island
and the creek probably fifty small hoats vera
lying in the bay engaged in fishing. thus
proving the assertions made here, "that at
Norfolk and vicinity the main support of the
rebels is the finny tribe" Before reaching
the light house, and near Sewell's Point, two
yellow spars are observed, about 100 to 200
yards distance from the shore, which ema-
nate from a sunken schooner, wrecked there
to i'm pede navigation.
The difference of the appearance of the
country at this point, and that from Wash
ington towards NJ tnassas Junction, is Just as
day is to night The former is q level coun-
try, intersp-rsed with beautiful trees and ich
landscape, while the latter is nothing but
ugly hills and waste barren soil. On the
ramparts Of the fortifications of the rebels
numerous small flags are displayed. The
largest one noticed all along the distance TO
Craney Island, was floating on a brick house
standing some distance back of q cove oppo-
site Craney Island. This house is evidently
the headquarters Of some mogul In the rebel
ranks. Inasmuch as the mission Of the flag
of truce was one of peace, and not one of re-
connoissance, l did not think 1t proper to use
glass. but what is described aboveI beheld
with the naked eye. Probably in a day or
two the little rebel tug will pay us visit, ia
asmuch as communication by truce is again
established between the fort and the rebel
forces on the other side
General Wool issued a special order this
morning, eOmplimentirg the troops reviewed
by him and staff yesterday, in the highest
terms, congratulating them on the proficiency
attained in 80 short a time.
