Anairs in Norfolk and Por,smou.h.

A gentleman who made his escape a few DAYS
ago from Norfolk and reached Richmond on YES
tsrday, furnishes rs with some Interesting items
Of affairs in that city and Portsmouth Since
the abolition of the municipal government, the
Federal provost marshal takes charge Of the
district Little, however, of any Importance :,
occurs 10 render bis duties laborious.
On the 4th of July little negro eboshin in
Portsmouth, Haunted a Union flag in the face OF
young lady, who snatched It from him and
trsmpled upon it. The juvenile eboshin imne-
diately circulated the incident, and the young
lady was taken before the provost marshal, who
reprimSnded and dismissed her A similar Incl
dent, with similar result, occurred in Norfolk.
The people generally remain loyal TO the South
and keep quiet, but there are few Union men
who render themselves Tidicu!Ous by the display
of their peculiar prOpensities. Among other
eXEedients for creating sensation, they have
Union flags swung out on ropes across q street,
here and there about town, for the particular
tantalizatiOn Of ladies' of secession prochvities.
They are 80 arranged that when q lady passes,
the 'msn ct the widow" can let it down, back
ward and forward, so that the lady however
agile she may Be in lodging, will at length have
to pass under it.
AL the Negroes in the public and private jails,
except the public jsil in Portsmouth, have been
released, and many of them taken into the
United States service. There are three comDa-
MES of United States Volunteers" consisting
Of runaway negroes, daily on drill ct the Ma
rine Hospital
The whole military force stationed in Norfolk
and Portsmouth is about 300 men, consisting
of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania regiment,
Of six hundred men each. There are two regi-
ments, about 1,5O0 altogether, stationed at
Suffolk.
ALI of the material left by the Confederate
army in the navy yard has been removed to
Fortress Monroe or the North. The bomb proofs
on Craney island have been burned, and all the
guns, that could not be removed, bursted.
A portion of the Delaware regiment, stationed
at Portsmouth, before the recent defeat of Nc
Clellan, mutinied because they received march
ing orders, as they supposed, for Richmond, and
twenty were imprisoned. The regiment, how
ever, was only sent to Suffolk, when the null
neerS returned and were released.
A few days ago, the garrison at Suffolk shell
led the woods in the vicinity, suppOsing an at
tack waASto be made upon them, they having
lost a number of pickets on the previous day
No serious harm was done.
Business was exceedingly dull both in Nor
folk and Portsmouth, many of the stores being
closed.
The following are the retail quotations Of
prices of the leading articles of domestic sup
plies sugar, IL to 12c.i coffse, q to %; bacon,

General Lee to rEts army.

A brave and skilful loader has seldom had
mere glorious achievements upon which to cen
grstula'e noble and gallant army, than are
narrated in the following admirable address Of
General Robert E. Lee to the army near Riet-
moEd
HEADQUARTERS, IN THE FIELD,
July 9TH, 1852.
General Orders No 70
The General Commanding, profoundly grats-
fol to the only Giver of all victory for the signal
success with which he has blessed our arms,
tenders his warmsst thanks and congratulations
to the army by whose vslOrsuch splendid results
have been achieved.
On Thursday, June 26ih, the powerful and
thoroughly eqaipped army of the enemy was
intrenched in works vast in extent and most
formidable in character, within sight of cur Cap
ital.
To-day the remains of that confident and
threatening host lie upon the banks of James
river, thirty miles from Richmond, seeking to
recover, under the protection Of his gunboats,
from the effects of series of disastrous defeats
The battle beginning on the afternoon of the
26th of June above meehsnicsville, continued
until the night of July Ist with only such in
tervals as were necessary to pursue and ever
take the flying foe. His ssTong inIenchmenss
our army swept irresistleasly down the north
side of the ChickahOminy, until it reached the
rear of the enemy, sad broke hts communica-
tiCn with the York, capturing or causing the
destructing Of many valuable stores, and, by
the decisive battle of Friday, forcing the enomy
from his line of powerful Notifications on the
South side of the Chickahominy, and driving
him to precipitste retreat This victorious
army pursued, as rapidly IS the obstructiOns
placed by the enemy in his rear would permit,
three times oveTtsking his flying column, and
as often driving him with slaughter from the
field, leaving his numerous dead and wounded
in our hands in every conflict.
The immediate fruits of cur success are the
relief of Richmond from a state of siege, the
rout of tue great army that so long menaced It's
safety, many thousand prisoners, including Off
GERS of high rank, the capture or destruction of
stores to the value of millions, and the acqusi
tion of thousands of arms and ffty-one pieces
Of superior artillery.
The service rendered to tho country in the
short bat eventful period, can scarcely be esti-
matsd, and the general commanding cannot sde-
auately express his admiration of the courage,
endurance and soldierly conduct of the officers
and men engaged.
Those brilliant results have cost US many
brave men, but, while we mourn the loss of our
gallant dead let us not forget that they died no
bly, in defense of their country's freedom, and
have linked their memory with an event that will
live forever in the hearts Of greatful people,
Soldiers Your country will thank you for the
heroic conduct you have displayed-conduct
worthy of men engaged in cause so Just and
sacred, and deserving nations gratitude and
praise.
By command of General Lee.
