j. Bland. A. J. Glover, IL A. Bond. and f. l.

1t is alleged that these commissioners con

deny any completely with the matter and insist
they had no power to prevent it.
Burnside intends 10 send one of the commits
soners to Raleigh, whittier Mr.. White has been

BALTIMORE. Nav 24-The following is taken
from the Americans Fortress Monroe corrcs
pondence.
There is but little change in tbs condition OF af
fairs az Norfolk. The Mayor and members OF
the City Council still refuse to take the oath of
allegiance. Gen. Wool had interview with
them Yesterday but they continued in the 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 uD proclamation to Norfolk
this morning notifying the people that the matter
was entirely in their own hands; 50 soon as they
would acknowledge the supremacy of the Gov
eminent. they would eTjOy its fostering aid; but
while they remained in their present rebellion
they would be cut off FROM all the advantages of
trade and commerce, and tile city Will be govern
ed by strict martial law
Gen. Wool also assures them that no contiu
gency or possibility exists whereby Norfolk will
again be given up to the control of the rebel
Government and that those who entertain Union
sentiments can give expression to them with am
pie assurance of protection of all their rights as
citizens of the United States
Most OF the stores now open, an1 the sale
OF such goods as they have is progressing.
As far rs can he ascertained no one is will
ling to receive Confederate notes at par. Bust
ness is mostly done III small notes of Virginia
banks and other chartered corporations. Gov
eminent notes are received with great avidlty.
The Union men OF Norfolk still hold back
afraid To express sentiments openly in defiance of
the rebellious spirit around them.
Quite an enthusiastic meeting was held at
Portsmouth on Thursday night, not less than
eight hundred being present, including many
Union men from Norfolk
The course OF the Government in refusing to
allow provisions to come there for loyal people
was ses erely criticised and the propriety OF such
course 10y no means approved.
The scarcity of provisions and necessar.es of
life are SO great and prices high that the poor.
er classes have 10 live almost entirely on fish and
oysters. The secessionists are nearly all wealthy
people who can stand high prices and have laid in
their stocks long since.
There is no doubt that the decision OF General
Wool is leading to great suffering 20 the poorer
classes. They have suffered beyond all endu-
rance for year.
1t was reported at Norfolk yesterday that Gen.
Burnside had taken Weldon.

FORTRESS MONROE Nav 23-The Baltimore
American has the following special Dispatch
1t is estimeted that there are now at Norfolk
and Portsmouth not less than one thousand de
serters from the force with which Gen. Huger
left Norfolk. Those who have come in, and are
stu arriving in squads OF tens and twenties, did
not succeed in escaping until after they reached
Petersburg. They are in a most deplorable con-
diton. A party who came in to-day say there
must be nearly one thousand more scattered
through the woods behind them, all willing to
take the oath Of allegiance and appear most
happy to have escaped from the rebel army.
The Minnesota will proceed to Norfolk to-
morrow morning. and the whole 9eet will hare
abandoned Old Point, aud taken up position at
the old naval station.
The walls of the navy yard buildings are in n
solid condition. and can soon be put in order
again. The machinery taken out Of the
buildings before they were fired. and packed up
with the intention of being removed, but the
rapid action of General Wool prevented the re-
