No Union Sentl IT ent I'm Norfolk.

The Norfolk correspondent of the Phila.
delphia Press, under date of May 18th,
writes
We had ample observation to assure US
that the feeling here is almest wholly dis
loyal, aad our ccnverse with residents, which
was considerable, confirms US in the opinion
that Norfolk is almost wholly devoted to
jeff Davis and his minions. The people
are more miserably duped, ignorant of eve.
rything in the North, and deep and bitter
in their feelings than we supposed possible.
They believe in the rebel General Huger's
last words before leaving--"Ill be back
again in two weeks Conversing with one
of the most respected citizens. and appa-
rently we'll informed on matters in general,
he said, with serious earnestness, "Why,
sir, you can't hold this place your soldiers
will all be captured, and our generals com.
mand the harbor here in less than two
weeks" Until our flag is flying in the reb.
ell capital, Richmond, and the Confederate
army passing beyond the borders of Virgin.
ia, we cannot expect much improvement in
the feelings OF the rebels of Norfolk. tg
Every store room is closed. each window
and door barred and bolted, and, with the
exception of an occasional bakery or drug
store, there is not business house open ia
all Norfolk. The same seclusion exists in
the resident portion Of the city. rhe blinds
closed and doors locked, Norfolk presents
the appearance of deserted town.

Timothy TitcOmb's Deacon.

"TIMorHY TIrcoMB," alias Doctor Hol-
land, of the Springfield Republican, is down
upon the sour kind of deacons; he likes a
wholesouled man, and thinks the lugubrious
sort of religionsts are very serious injury
to the reputation of genuine Christianity.
He says:
have seen deacon in the pride of his
deep humility. He combed his hair
straight, and looked studously after the
main chance; and while be looked be en-.
ployed himself in setting a good example.
His dress was rigidIy plain, and his wife
was not INDUCED in the vanities of mili-
merry and mantua making He never joked.
He did not know what joke was, any
further than TO know that it was sin. He
carried Sunday face through the week.
He did not mipg!e in the happy social par

Sunday because ne was deacon. He so
brought them up that they learned to con
slder themselves unfortunate in being the
children of deacon. They were pitied by
other children because they were the chill.
dren of deacon. His wife was pitied by
other women because she was the wife of a
deacon. Nobody loved him. If be came
into circle where men were laughing and
telling stories, they always stopped until he
went out. Nobody ever grasped bis hand
cordially, or slapped him on the shoulder, or
spoke OF him as a good fellow. He seemed
as dry and hard and tough as piece OF
jerked beef. There was no softness of

him.
Now it is OF 20 use for me to undertake
to realise to myself that God admires such
character as this.

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY. MAY 30. 1867.

der way and headed for Mobile bar, which
is to be the scene of their future operations
The steamer squadron, consisting OF the
Harriet Lane. West6eld, Clifton, Jackson,
and Miami, reached their destination at
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and an
chored within plain view of Forts Gains
and Morgan, not more than four miles dis
tant from the last named fort.
The steamer Harriet Lane, with Captain
Porter of the Mortar Flotilla on board,
arrived at Pensacola on Saturday morning,
and was of great service to General Arnold
in transporting men, horses, siege guns,
camp equipage, &c., to the main land.
About 500 regulars, and the Seventy-ffth
New York Volunteers have gone over.
We saw two rebel steamers inside Mis-
sissippi Sound, across Dauphin Island, one
of which fired an alarm gun to notify the
forts of our approach, and both steamed
with all possible alacrity to the cover of the
forts for protection. We also saw two reb.
ell gunboats, of large size, known to be iron
clad, which came down to the wharf at
Fort Gaines, seemingly to embark troops,
and carry them across the bay to Fort Nor
gan. Several trips of this sort were made,
and we infer from the fact that Fort Gaines,
which could make no prolonged resistance
to our shells, has been abandoned Dy the
enemy, whose strength will be concentrated
at Fort Morgan. At sundown both vessels
retired to the rear of Fort Morgan, where
they lay all night.
Both of these gunboats were recently
completed. They are ramed respectively
the Morgan and the Gaines, and the expen-
ses of their construction were betrayed by
voluntary contributions from the ladies of
Mobile. The Morgan carries the broad
pennant of Commodore Victor Randolph,
late an officer of the navy. Both steamers
are 200 feet in length, IS feet breadth of
beam, and 9 feet depth of hold, drawing 6
feet 3 inches of water. Each is armed
with ten rifed guns, and has crew of $50
men. Neither appeared to have much
speed and we had ample opportunity of
determining their merits in this respect
from the frequency of their trips between
the two forts. The three ferryboat gun-
boats belonging to our fotila, which have
been far more serviceable than any other
vessels in the Gulf in connection with our
operations, could steam all around the rebel
vessels.
The enemy seemed to be disconnected at
our appearance off the bar, and could
scarcely have expected us so soon after the
hard work in the Mississippi. Doubtless
they supposed that the mortar men would
have taken time to recuperate, but Captain
Porter believes in following up one glori-
ous su cess with another, without giving
the rebels time to recover from the stag
gering blows which have been administered.
Com. PORTER has sounded and placed
buOys in the channel OF the Mobile bar, and
we may soon hear of an attack on Fort
Morgan and the capture of Mobile.

GER HANGED REFUSAL TO SURRENDER.

The following very important informa-
tion we obtain from the Vicksburg Evens
ing Citizen of the 18th:
The latest we can ascertain of the where
abouts of the gnnboats below is, that they
arrived at Natchez yesterday evening about
tour o'clock, and that they are anchored on
the stream below that city. What they
are doing, or bow long they will remain in
that quarter has not transpired.
The following dispatch direct from Natch-
ez, was dated at eight o'clock this morning:
We have further report to the effect
that the gunboats had sent yawl with a
flag of truce and bearing a demand for the
surrender of the city. AS the yawl landed
number of people had gathered to wit
ness the proceedings, and the men from the
boat requested that some one in the crowd
should take the dispatches and deliver them
to the Mayor. None could be found will
ling to accommodate the Yankees, until at
last, they prevailed upon fisherman to
carry the note to the Mayor. When be dcs
livered the document, and it was found to
contain demand for the surrender of the
city, crowd of exasperated citizens took
the fisherman and hung him, and that the
Mayor refused to surrender, and the gun
boats gave them till ten o'clock today to
determine what they should do.

AMY'S CRUELTY,
BY MRS. z. B. BROWNING,

"Fair Amy of the terraced house,
Assist me to discover
Why you, who would not hurt mouse,
Can torture SO. your lover.
You give your coffee to the cat,
You stroke the dog for coming,
And all your face grows kinder at
The little brown bees humming.
But when he haunts your door (the town
Marks coming and marks going,)
You seem to have stitched your eyelids dowr
To that long piece of sewing.
You never give look-not you,
Nor drop him good morning,
To keep his long day warm and blue,
So fretted by your scOrniDg."
She shook her head" The mouse and bee
For crumb or -four will liDger;
The dog is happy at my knee,
The cat purs at my finger.
"But hs,-to him the least thing given,
Means great things at distance;
He wants my world, my sun, my heaven,
Soul, body, whole existence.
"They say love gives as well as takes;
But I'm a simple maiden;
Lily mothers first smile when she wakes,
still have smiled and prayed in.
81 only know my mothers love,
Which gives all and asks nothing;
And this new loving sets the groove
Too much the way of loathing.
"Unless he gives me all in change,
forfeit all things by him;
The risk is terrible and strange,
tremble, doubt, deny him.
"He's sweetest friend or hardest foe;
Best angel or worst devil;
/ either hate--or love him so,
Ican't be merely civil.

Her blossoms thick as Summers?
You think she dreams what love is wort b
Who casts it to new corners?

A moments pretty pastime.

A NOBLE WoMAN.-Mrs. General w.
III. l.. Wa lace, of Ottawa, went up to
Pittsburg on one of the first boats after the
battle, having heard that her husband was
wounded. When she arrived she found him
already dead. For brief season she yield.
ed to the great grief of her bereaved soul.
and wept over her dead, refusing to be
comforted. But when she saw all around
on the boat the men who had fought and
fallen with him there yet alive, 10 pain and
thirst, with none to help them, she turned
from her dead to the living, and all night
long went from man to man, with water
and words of comfort and the holy succor
that must coma out of such an inspiration
in such place. Many incidents of no ole-
ness and usefulness have come to our
knowledge during the progress OF this war,
but no one has touched US more tenderly, or
excited more deeply our admiration than
this.-New Couenant.

THE DEATH OF GEN. STEvENs.-A special
correspondent of the Tribune gives the follow
ing account of the circumstances Immediately
preceding the death of Gen. Stevens at Chan
tilly, Va:
The army was retreating from Centreville.
The battle was fought against rebel force
that had penetrated five miles nearer Washing
ton than our rear and was moving to strike
upon the flank. Gen. Stevens division, the
advance OF Renos corps, was on the left of the
road taken by the trains and intercepted. the
enemy. He saw that the rebels must be beat
en- back at once, or during the night they
would stampede the wagons, and probably so
disconcert our retreat.fl the last divisions
would Eai1a prey to their main force. He de-
cided to uttack Immediately, at the same time
sending back for support.
Having made his dispositions, he led the at
tack on foot at the head of the 10Th High
landers.) Soon meeting whitening fire. aud

zled old Scotchman, being woiindea. they fal-
tered. One of the color guard took up the
flag, when the General snatched it from him.
The wounded Highlander at his feet cried !:
For Gods sake, General, don't uou take the
colors; they'll shoot you if you dor' The
answer was, "Give me the colors! If they
don't follow now, they never will;- and he
sprang forward, crying, "We are all Highland
ers follow Highlanders forward my Highland
ers" The Highanders did follow their Scot
tish chief, but while sweeping forward ball
struck him on his right temple. He died in
stantlv. An hour afterward, when taken up,
his hands were still clenched around the flag

READFIEIp, Sept. 10, 1862.
MEssRs. EDITORS To-day has been the
dreaded day. To-day has been the day that
towards and traitors have feared all over the
country, and to-day Readfield has done her
duty. Every citizen expected a draft. A
town meeting was called at 1-2 o'clock and
they voted 500 bounty to every man that
would enlist. Z. o. Bean presided. A call
was made for some one to head the roll. Mr..
L. A. Luce, assistant teacher in the Eaton
Boarding School, was the first man to move,
and was Immediately followed by others until
fourteen had volunteered. When the excite
ment subsided a little, Hon. A. p. Morrill, Of
fered $40, to the next man that would enlist,
another man came,-the offer was repeated
four times in succession by him, and every time
1t was Immediately accepted. Then other men
took it up offering S. and $40, until twenty
four men had enlisted. Some of these last Of
fers were made by men that were poorly able
to bear it, but we're willing to sacrifice all for
country. l am sorry that cannot give you
the names OF these worthy men. The number
of men called for from this town, under all the
calls, Is seVenty-nne, we nave sent seventy-lour,
SO but five men are due from us. The mistake
was brought to the notice of the Governor, but
he would not rectify it, and consequently we
were obliged to send seventeen men. During
the time speeches were made by Hon. A p.
Morrill,, Rev. II. p. Torsey, Rev. H. NJ. Eaton,
Rev. C. F. Allen and others. At the close the
volunteers were taken 10 the Hotel, and there
dined at the expense of the town. Readheld
is in earnest, and we are ready to make any
sacrifice, or to do anything to save our glori-
GUS Constitution and country, from the foul,
demoralizing, destroying hands of traitors.
And we all unite in giving three cheers for

EDITORS PREss:-Your correspondent A.
speaks earnestly and properly Of the course
pursued by our Government, in too many in
stances, in the treatment of paroled prisoners,
and especially of the notorious Captain Nc
Cormick.
But with regard to the widow and young
children of the late ex-President Tyler, his re-
marks seem uncalled for. Mrs. Tyler is daugh-
ter of the late S. Gardiner, of New York, pro-
prietor of GARDENERS Island, in Long Island
Sound, and one of the prominent and patriotic
families Of the Empire State. He was one of
the victims at the explosion of the monster
gun at Washington, some years since.
Miss Gardiner, subsequently the youthful
bride of the President) was a bright, particu-
lar star, in Washington, universally esteem
ed and respected. She has for some years
past resided quietly in Virginia, dispensing,
with liberal hand, to the sick and needy, from
her means, and beloved and esteemed by all.
She now returns to her native State, seeking
quiet, and the facilities for the proper educa-
tion of her children, and without shadow of
disloyalty to the Union and the Constitution
