Norfolk and Portsmouth Matters.

NORFOLK, Va, April 24.-Before the iede.
raj troops left here they pulled down their
ship houses, their factories, with the intention
of setting fire to the mass of timbers, and par.
tally succeeded.
The mayors of Norfolk and Portsmouth, on
saturday night, sent flag Of truce and asked
Com. Pendergrast if he intended to fire upon
their city? and Pendergrast replied that if
he was fired on, or the Navy Yard attacked,
it would be his duty to do so.
The excitement here has been intense, the
women and children were leaving and men
rallying to arms.
1t was reported that the ship of the line
New York, would be set on fire before the
abandonment of the Yard.
The buildings were blown up with powder,
and not fired, for fear of the condagration ex.
tending to Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The people had seized the powder-house,
on Craney Island, and removed the powder
to the city, and are preparing for vigorous
defense.

SOuth.

e New York World makos IL calculation by
vi. it arrives at the conclusion, that it is the
| hIt Of Jjool-hardimcss for the South to rent"re
ui a contest with the North. It's statement Of
tlasc can he falsiicd with its own data.
| t tho white population of the South, rs the
NYork World does, at S,00o,UOO, and that OF
tEorth at 100000. Divide each number by
2 get the male proportion, and VIC have $780,
Olagainst 9,JOO,OUO Divide ngain by 2 to ap-
piimatc the material of fighting age, say from
Is 55-it is now 1000, 600 to 4, 100000. OF our
2},OOC VIC will perhaps need 100000 for asri-
cural and police purposes ;--reducing our avail
atstrength for offensive warfare to 100000.
Toack these numbers, We have the 5OO0OO
nls (of working or fighting age) at home, and
10000 blacks, producing cotton and corn, and
prHng forward such manufactures ms our ne
ceiies may require. Now for the North: Or
th, $780, surely 3,OOO,OOO will be needed to
prhcc and manufacture cUrrcspondingly to tho
WIS Of their country, and to keep the North on
aiming like respectable footing with us before
maind. This leaves 1,75U,OOO against our
$4,000; And we submit it to tho fairness Of
tru to decide whether or not this approximatcs
coictness. We think it does sufficiently to in
dice the relative strength Of the parties. Our
fses may be too large as to fighting material !;
yif reduced on one side, they must he reduced
caly on the other.
tut suppose it stood 100000, to 2,5OO,OOo-
lat be remembered that our men aro nearly all
irsed to toll and danger, nearly all to the manor
bn, and, We may say. all imbued with the intel
li,ncc TO understand their rights and the courage
maintau them. The lIorld can set up no
:. claim for its Northern troops as q whole. no
dO,t many, very many of them, are good men
an, will mako good soldiers; but many, very
may of them arc also worthless for the purposes
obuccessful warfare against the freemen OF tho
Seth. The statistics of immigration for the last
fe' years are pointed to in proof of this asser-
tic. The character of tho rabblc in Northern
cies is another index. The tens and hundreds OF
thasands whose occupations have scarcely per-
mijcd them to know the uscs of fire arms, may
als be considered in estimating tho real war
stragth of the Northern States. But more than
alive of the South arc standing in defence oi

for military despotism that madiy
