Saturday night, another party was engaged In
firing the shipping and STEAMBOATS, In the harbof.
Among these were the steamer William Selden,
stolen at the commencement OF the war from the
Norfolk and Baltimore Steamboat Company, the
Cayuga, the Pilot Boy, and other small Gran.
There were also two iron-clad guuboats, which
were unfinished, set on fire and foated towards
Norfolk. probably fer the purpose'of destroying
the city The hremen, howe yer, towed them out
and e1tinguished them.
This work Of destruction was accomplished on
Saturday night after the FEDERAL troops had occu-
pied Noff Xix, and the incendiaries could be seen
moving about In the daT kneSs, with their pitch
pine hambesux, like so many dlabolical visitants
The scene strongly reminded the spectator Of the
panorama Of the burning Of Moscow. and with
the immense fame that It threw forth made the
scene one of terrible grandeur
Pichets and troops have been thrown out sew
eral miles in the rear Of Norfolk, and active as
sistence will be given TO General Mcclellan In
clearing Virginia OF the Rebels.
The steamer Hero came down the James river
this evening from the ueighbnrhood Of Williams
burg, aud brought down about four hundred
prisoners from Gen Mcclellan. This puts an
end TO the doubts that had been promulgated by
the assertion Of the secessonisss that the MerIimac
had not been blown up, but had gone up the
James river TO Richmond, which, of course, che
could not do for want OF sufficient water.
The Rebels around Norfolk did not leave until
saturday morning, when they evacuated In great
haste Camps Of three cavalry regiments were
found In the rear Of Norfolk, bearing evidence
OF having just been evacuated.
As the troops retreated through Norfolk to-
wards Suffolk they helped themselves TO private
and public property without distinction. Pri-
vate stables were rroken open and carriage
horses and harness taken off, without any one
daring to question their right
A large number OF young men In Norfolk sd
mitted that they had been I'm the service and
had deserted during the fight. They all pro-
fessed to be Union men, and expressed great sat
isiaction at the Coming of our troops.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET,
BOTTOMS BRIDGE.

Gen. Mcclellan may probably, il seems 70 us,
be delayed some days before Bottoms bridge
on the direct road TO Richmond. We hear that
its approaches are not only densely wooded, but
20 swampy for miles on either side that the road
through them 10 substantially Of carpentry, and
therefore easily destroyable. That, unfortunate
ly, Is the only route for his army except very
roundabout ones. For instance, to essay to 20
around the head Of the Chickahominy from that
point, distant not more than fifteen miles from
Richmond In direct line, would involve march
Of perhaps seventy five miles through a difficult
country, without water facilities for transporta-
ticn.
We believe II to be the policy Of the rebels TO
delay his army before Bottoms bridge until they
NAV remove much Of their war material In
Richmond 90 possible by rail to DanvilIe, and
get of az many Of their troops by the same means
Of conveyance. II seems probable that our Feet
will, however, interfere successfully TO defeat
that plan. That IL: IL It has been pushed up
within Smelling distance Of the city.
A STRANGE IDEA.
Nothing seems stranger 10 US than the idee
prevailing In some quarters tbat rebel army
between thirty and fifty thousand strong, Is ad.
vaucing from Richmond In the direction Of Gen.
McDowelPs front Under the circumstances of
the fall Of Norfolk and the destruction of the
Merrimsc, IL Is simply an absurdity; the chance
for the success OF any such rebel movement not
being one In hundred, as Davis, johnson, Lee
and Magruder well know. We place no faith in
this ruuior, because crediting the rebel leaders
with knowing too much Of the art Of war thus to
adopt The policy most likely CT all others so TO
cripple themselves as not only to essure the de-
feat Of their army opposed to Mcclellan but lao
the capture Of any force they may venture upon
so hazardous an experiment. Their present aim
