The following is taken from the Aneer-
ican' s Fortress Monroe correspondent:
There is but little change in the con-
dition of affairs at Norfolk. The Mayor
and members of the city council still re-
fuse to take the oath of allegiance. Gen.
Wool had an interview with them yes
.crdav, but they continued in sulks so
that he now refuses all intercourse with
the people of Norfolk and Portsmouth;
even the little business they have been
doing in the way of Strawberries and peas
is now stopped.
Gen. Wool sent up proclamation to
Norfolk this morn ng, notifying tie peo-
pie that the matter Was entirely IN their
own hands. so that rs soon as they would
acknowledge the supremacy of the gov
eminent they will enjoy its fostering aid,
but while they remain in their present
mood, they will be cut off from all advan-
taces of trade and commerce. The city
will be governed by strict martial law.
He also assures them no contingency can
possibly arise whereby Norfolk can again
be given up to the control of the rebel
Government, and that those who enter
tain union sentiments can give expression
to them with ample assurance of the pro-
lection of all their rights as citizens of
the United States. Most of the stores
arc now open and the sale of such goods
as they have is now progressing.
As far rs can be ascertalned, no one
is now willing to receive confederate
n otes at par; business is mostly done in
small notes of Virginia banks. and other
chartered corporations. Government
notes are received with great avidity.
The union men of Nashville still hold
back. afraid to express sentiments openly
in defense of the rehellious spirit around
them.
Quite nm enthusiastic union meetinr
was held Mt Portsmouth on Thursday
night. and not less than 500 were present
including union men from Norfolk.
The course of the government IN refusing
to allow provisions to come there for
loyal people was severely criticised, and
the property of such course was bv no
means approved.
The scarcity Of provisions and necessa-
ries of life so great. and prices SO high,
that the poorer classes have to i've almost
entirely on fish and oysters. The seces-
sionists are nearly all wealthy peonle
who can stand high prices, and who
have laid in their stock long since. There
is no doubt that the decision of Gen.
Wool is leading to great suffering among
the poorer classes. They have suffered
beyond all endurance for year.
1t was reported ut Norfolk Yesterday
that Burnside had taken Weldon.
1t is estimated that there are now in
Norfolk and Portsmouth not less than
1000 deserters from the force with which
Gen. Huger left Norfolk. Those who
come IN, and are still arriving in squads
OF tens and twenties, did not succeed in
escaping until after they reached Peters,
burg They were In p most deplorable
condition. A party who came in to-day
saws there must be 1000 more scatter.
cd through the woods behind them. All
willingly take oath of allegiance. and an
pear happy to have escaped from the
rebel army. The Minnesota will proceed

tinued marching in order to Mart;nsburg,
