NORFOLK Novemnox 9Th, 1oo1.
Ten men who lately worked ID tie fsospcft
enemies, have been sent TO ktchmOnd. we pre-
sumo. II they receive their inst deserts, to BE-
inearcerated within some prison walls, or like
wise dieposed Of. The rascality Of one OF these
. fellows 10 well shown mp In the. following
truthful narrative, given US by . friend !:
About the time the State seeded, one OF these
applied 10 Com. Forrest for work in the yard,
assuring him in very patriotic manner, that
he did not wish rem uneratfon for his services:
these he would give to the Confederacy -
Nothing more was thought Of the matter, as
he was a resident of Portsmouth, until within
day or two, the name Of this same in
dividnal was seen entered among the list
Of aliens who desired to leave the South.-
Here, then, is an instance OF a man gaining
the good graces Of the heaal Of the yard by IN
act OF deception that we'll deserves the most
rigid punishment. / am glad to know that
they were not allowed to leave. for. IL 90, we
can well imagine the evil results that would
flow from onr own hands. some of them,
am told, have also bten at work on the nlerri-
mac, and the fact only forces II upon us that
we should Do strictly vietlant to whom We
grant permits on account of siniiiar favors -
There are vipers in our midst. and we should
guard against them.
Three men from Portsmouth happening
out on the river last night, the boat cap
sized, and one OF the party named arthur
II rvey, member OF capt. Richardson's
Rifle Company, of Portsmouth, was drown.
=
cries OF the imperii-d party, went of in q
boat and after much difficulty aud danger
su. ceeded in saving two OF IN m.
Yesterday several shots were fired from tho
Rip Rape at the forutications at Seweil's
Point, doing no damage. This morning iouo
reports were heard from below, coming pro-
badly from the Rip Raps
The bali at the tlantic last night was at
tended by many Of the gay and fashionable OF
this city aud OF Portsmouth. Il number OF
army and Navy officers Were present, and the
affair passed Off aomlrabiy the exciting ana
healthful exercises continued until late
hour. At Il seasonable hour of the night the
long tables were filled with delicacies in pro
fusion and great variety, served in the highest
style OF the culinary art.
From the vessel lately captured ON Curri
tuck beach, am informed 60 bags of coffee
Were secured.
Ga sunday night last four negroes abecond-
ed from this section. 1t Is suppo ed they
Went 10 the farm of a gentleman near the
beach and secured q set Of oars tor the pur
pose. The dog which the gentleman usually
had chained IL the yard was removed previ.
ously for fear OF giving alarm, SO that the
matter looks as III We're entirely preconeert-
cd Inere exists In my mind no doubt but
that white men or White negroes are at the
head OF this aEur. case was lately told
me by gentleman In whom have tull con.
ndence. He informed me that two young
menr" night or two ago, saw a white man
p as by house in one of our pubic streets,
aud whistle quite loud, and that shortly
thereafter II negro man with his best suit on
Emerged from the kitchen, and with the white
man went down the street. Ia g few nights
after IL was found the negro had escaped -
HIRE we fnd Il forcibie tact sustaining our
suspiciOns-that white men are implicated ii
their escape 1t is useless 10 say, If caught,
they will suffer their penalty On the Slhbel.
