ANOTHER EvACUArIoN.-The Richmond Er.
dminer gives US the announcement of the evac-
uation of Norfolk. This takes us rather by sur
prise, and we hope it may not be truo, a. the
Examiner does not assert it positively, and the
Norfolk Day Book, of the 5th, the day after the
evacuation is said to have commenced, makes no
mention Of it. The fact that the telegraph
brings ~ no news OF the occurrence argues no
thing, - nothing of importance comes to the
press through that medium. If Norfolk is evac-
uated, We think there 10 moro involved than the
consequences mentioned by the Examiner.
With tbeIexceptou of New Orleans and Rich
mond, it is the most important city Of the Con-
federacy, and losing it We should be more Grip
pied than by the loss OF any other city. Indeed,
we do not perceive how Richmond is to be de-
Tended after Norfolk has fallen, the James River
opened to the enemy's feet, and Mcclellan and
Burnside permitted to unite their forces. The
Msrrimac may not be lost by the loss of Nsrfslk,
bat her inactivity since her famous battle leads
as to think that she was % badly injured in the
encounter as to be useless, except q scarecrsw.
II, however, she is only held back by q string ol
''red tape" from Richmond, We may yet heal
good tidincs Of her. We hope the information
of the Erdminer may prove untrue.
