Norfolk, May l2-The city continues very
quiet, most of the stores are still closed, but ex-
pect to openin day or two, exceptin those cases
where the occupants have left the city for the
army. Some excitement still prevails butitis
supposed that III a few days when communion
ton is fully opened with Northern ports the con-
fdence will be fully restored The prices of al
most everything are astonishingly high, candles
for instance Of miserable quality 60 cents per
pound, common brown wrapping paper and en-
yelopes 50 cents per package, brown sugar 20
cents per pound, a number Of stores will be
opened, however in few days by parties from
Old Pointand Baltimore, who will bring sup
plies Of articles much wanted here.
The Post Office and Custom House will short
ly be re-opened. Very little union sentiment is
openly expressed; all over the city our soldiers,
officers as well as the plivates, freely talk with
the citizens, which must produce a good effect
All the Notifications in the vicinity are occu-
pied by the Union troops, and all the public
property is in the possession Of the Federal au-
thorties. The policy Of the Confederate gov
eminent appears to be to concentrate their
troops at Richmond, and some say that all the
Gulf States will be given up before Virginia.
that Richmond will be held TO the very last
All insist that desperate resistance will be
made there, if nowhere else: Several negroes
arrived at Suffolk this morning They report
no troops, guns or Notifications there, or on the
road this side Among most OF the citizens
here there is little confidence in the officers Of
the Confederate government. The Confederate
notes are refused in many instances. Gold and
silver are welcomed with enthusiasm by all
classes Of the population; many Of whom have
not seen either for many months

AGoSrRErExPs.-The unassumipg modss,y,

are well known to the entire community. In
deed, they are proverbial. He never forces
himself unbiddcn into the Executive mansion,
OF departments or bureaus of tho Government
lie never crowds the mourners" In pursuit Of
knowledge or news But "from what we hear
and see around us" I'VE have every reMon to
belieye' that recently he "cssayed" to pump

we'll known that the public mind has been
such exercised" on this subject But with oil
his current arts Of csjolery, and notwith
standing the supposed influence Of "the fastest
steam press" running he was unable to pro
cure 'ary solitary item, but instead was re
ceived and dismissed with the most excruciat
ing Of Gallo ebrugs, generally known among
our people as "the cold shoulder" Such {
lesson, however, is thrown away on him.
