Saturday night, another party was engaged In
firing the shipping and steamboats, In the harbor.
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 craft.
There Were also two iron clad gunboais which
were unfinished, set on IRE and foated towards
Norfolk, probably fer the purpose of destroying
the city. The fremen, however, towed them out
and exfinguished them. - 90
This work Of destruction was accomplished on
Saturday night after the F ederal troops had occu
pied Norf Tx, AID the incendiaries could be seen
pine iambeaux, like so many abolical visitants.
The scene strongly reminded the spectator Of the
panorama of the burning Of Moscow, and with
the immense fame that Il threw forth made the
scene one Of terrible grandeur. ..-.--..-..-
Pickeis and troops have been thrown out sew
eral miles In the rear Of Norfolk, and active es-
distance will be given TO General Mcclellan In
clearing Virginia OF the Rebels.
The steamer Hero came down the James liver
this evening from the neighborhood Of Williams
burg, and brought down about four hundred
prisofe.s from Gen. Mcclellan. This puts an
end to the dou0is that had been promulgated by
the assertion Of the secessioniss that the Merrmac
nad not been blown up. but had gone up the
James river TO Richmond, which, Of course, she
could not do for want Of sufficient water.
The Rebels around Norfolk did not leave until
Saturday morning, when they evacuated in great
paste Paste camps OF three cavalry regiments were
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-
vste stables were broken open and carriage
horses and harness taken of, without any one
daring to question their right, -.
large number OF young men In Norfolk sd-
United that they had been In the service, and
had deserted during the fight. They all pro-
leased to be Union men, aud expressed great sat-
isfaction at the coming of our troops.
