EVACUATION OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF TIL
MERRfMAC.

MERRfAAC.
rFrop, the London Times, May e6.l.
Norfolk is now added to tho Federal cap
lures. A division Of s, 900 men sufficed, with
out f:ht, and by mere demonstration, to
drive the Confederates from their only arsenal.
Norfolk, upon which at the commencement OF
Of thus war SO much reliance was placed, is
max like a little Sebsstopol after Sebastopol
had fallen. Ita Navy Yard, with all the stores
and machinery has been destroyed, and the
vessels which it sheltered have been sunk or
burnt. Norfolk has fallen, however, not like
Sebastopol, after q glorious resistance, but
without shot fired, and the ruins show moth
ins but the determination Of the Southerners
to destroy what they cannot defend Here is
An end Of The Confederate Navy. Here is An
end also to all our hopes Of learning some
thing more from the pr0wcss Of the Morrimac.
That celebrated iron-clad ship, which was the
first to test in real battle the value OF the new in
ycntion, has pcrished ingloriously. Her de-
slruction is announced with an apology. She
was so blockaded by enemies that she dared
not venture out; she was so large and so deep
that she could not pursue her smaller antago>
nists into shallow waters. She had struck one
great blow she had frightened the North !;
made New York anxious and Boston afraid,
and had occupied a great naval force. All she
was capable Of doing had been done; force
she could not hope to resist was coming down
upon her, so she was blown up. Such has
been tho fate of the Mcrrimac. Perhaps We
shall be now allowed to know something more
about her. Europe s still curious as to how
sho came to accomplish her great achievement
and hGw il was she failed to repeat 1t; Whit
her strength was and what her weakness; and
why her masters could not mako prciit even
of her destruction. 1t is impossible yet to
believe that all was got out Of her which might
have boon obtained. In the early days Of this
! WAT much was expected from the superior
knowledge and experience OF the naval COM
nanders who adhered to tho South; but hilh-
erto it would appear that the science of their
naval men has only taught them to foreace
difficulties The ignorance Of tho adventurous
CAPTAINS who forced their wooden vessels past
! stone torts and through chains and beams, and
iron-clad ships and batteries, is an ignorance
which fortune favors and victory. does not dis
own. Eeen the advantage Of iron against
wood seems to be lost in Confederate hands, il
it be true, as Captain Davis reports from the
mississippi, that sight Confederate iron clad
ruoboats have been beaten off by six Federal
vessels. tis not, however, from such reports
IA these that we can take trustworthy data for
orr own guidance. All we can collect from
thcmis that tho Confederate cause is desperate
wherever guns can be floated, and that the
seas and the rivcrs are all parts of the Federal
empire

BUTLER's TYRANNY m NEW ORLEANS.


What is passing in Now Orleans may teach
us:what the apprehension Of those desperate
men are, and what is the nature of tho fate
they dread. rhe proclamation of Genersl
Buder realizes all that has ever been told
Of tyranny by victor over Vapquished. The
state Of slavery endured by negro in New
Orleans cannot be more absolute Than that
now suttarred by the whites of that city
They are compelled under pain of "severe
punishment" TO trslt the Federal flag with
tho utmost Difference and respect which is
treating the New Orleanisls much as Grslcr
treated the Swiss. They are compelled to
open thoir shops and their places Of amuse-
mont whether they wish TO do SO or not, and
while the shops and theatres are thus open
any little liberties which may be taken by
General Buffers garrison, or any of their
friends must not be resented, on pain Of death.
all asscmblages are forbidden, State property,
as we'll rs Confederate property, must be sur
rendered, and everything proposed to bo pub.
lishcd by newspaper must first be authorized
BY federal censor. Even this proclamation
appears TO DO exceeded by the practice under
it, for it seems that the Mayor and Aldermen
of tho city had already been committed to pri-
son for refusing to take the oath of allegiance
to President Lincoln. If this be a sample Of
the energetic measures by which the North
holds in subjection what it hss already con-
quered OF the South, we can well understand
the conspiracies in Kentucky, the burning
of cotton, the recruiting of the two Al
mica Of tho confederation, and the unbroken
resolve which seems still to reign throughout
the Southern States to hold On to their inde-
pendence TO the last. Such severity does not
bode we'll for European interests. The Presi-
dents proclamation which opens the ports Of
Nov Orleans, Beaufort and Port Royal would
have been moro welcome here if it were not
accompanied by acts Of tyranny likely to drive
the planters to despair, and to produce. the
destruction OF all the cotton in stock. Tho
conditions imposed by that proclamation must
DO measured and squared by tho rules oil inter.
national law, with which We hope they will be
found To conform. But a. matters nre now
proceeding, it would Seem that neither Now
Orleans, Beaufort nor Port Royal is likely to be
for some time TO come Of any great use to the
world Us cotton port. Gen. Butler, with his
osths OF allegiance, his forced alteration OF the
Federal aag, his confscations his compulsory
opsuing OF shops and theatres, his imprson-
murts, his punishments and his threats OF death,
is not lhe man to make a commercial port pros
porous and TO tempt down cotton bales from
Tho interior; aud New Orleans, with its rival
issues OF paper money, ono OF which ls of
course now legal tender, is not tempting
port 10 which to consign merchandise.

TEE Coon EFFEo1s or THE FLooD. The
late ffeshet here has proved far more destruc-
tive TO Sausage Row and "Helps Half
Acre than any previous rise since the es-
Adjustment Of those delectable institutions.
This morning, upon visiting those localities
we found q sight we were not quite prepared
for, but the beneficial results attending the
washing out of the rat holes will be good
paramount to the destruction of property.
Tbe low, long, narrow, dingy apartments,
which have been divided and sub-divided
until, at distance, they present the appear
euce of a pigeon. house, with 80 many doors
for entrance, have been abused most destruc-
lively by the ungovernable yellow clay
eolored water of the Ohio.
Scarcely room could be found but the
floor had been raised, the counter broken,
the paper on the walls torn and mutiIated,
while the gas-pipes and burners were bent,
twisted and curved into endless shapes, the
whole being coated with soft, miry mud.
which on the floor and ground lay from two
to six inches deep. The owners of the dog
geries, whisky shops, cheap clothing stores,
shoemakers' huts and what-nots, were busily
engaged in carrying out the mud, rearraug-
ing the floor, tearing from the walls and par
titions the torn and wet paper, working with
a determination to resume again in a very
few days.
The river is falling very rapidly, and street
cleaners are engaged in removing from the
wharf the accumulated mud and filth. Two
weeks will elapse before our wharf is itself
again,

THE LAST HouRs or JOHN TYLER.-The
Richmond Examiner gives the following ac-
count Of Ex.President Tylers last illness and
death:
On the Sunday morning preceding his
death Mr.. Tyler came TO the breakfast table,
at the Exchange Hotel, Ms ususl While sip
ping cup Of tea he was seized with q sudden
faintness, and on attempting to rise from his
chair be fell to the floor. He was taken into
the ladies parlor, where he recovered, and
was then conveyed to his chamber Several
physicians were present, and came TO the as
sistance of Mr. Tyler.
This sudden attack Of illness was not sup.
posed to be serious, and gave but little alarm,
as it was known that the deceased, at differ.
ent periods of his life, had been subject to
severe attacks of vertigo. Hopes were in-
dulged of his speedy recovery, and it was
not doubted that he would get well until the
night he died, when he was suddenly taken
worse, and failing rapidly, but without pain,
died precisely at fifteen minutes past twelve
o'clock on Friday night.
DR.. Brown had been sent for, and on en-
tering the room MIR. Tyler said, Doctor,
am dying" A few moments and he fell off
into the utter weakness preceding dissolu-
ton One Of the attending physicians ap
preached the bedside with medicine, and
said, "Mr. Tyler, let me give you some stm-
ulant." 81 will not have il, :" replied the dy-
ing sufferer, and in a few moments quietly
breatbed his last. His last ineligible words
was the reply to the doctor.

GARRETT DAvIs.-This new Senator from
Kentucky delivered a powerful speech on
Wednesday in favor of the expulsion of Sem
ator Bright. In the course of his remarks
he said:
He considered it great mistake that Old
Hickory was not allowed to 90 on and hang
the traitors from South Carolina in 1892
He Davis knew that there were warrants
issued for treason against three Of the prin-
cipal traitors, aud at the very fl rst gun from
Charleston Old Hickory would have seized
these traitors and hung them. But now a
conspiracy Of thirty years has broken out in
stupendous rebellion, and there are many
people in the South to-day who would like
to have their old enemy, England, rule over
them, with whom already we have had two
struggles. Rather than such thing should
happen, he would prefer to see the whole
American country sunk to the bottom of the
ocean.

Intelligence has been conveyed to us that
Mcclellan was preparing to cross the Poto-

of observation the necessary preparations
were very nearly completed.
The Yankees are represented as being
about to make one more great effort. uoon
which they rest their ability to subugate
the South. That they may have nothing to
upbrsid themselves with in case of defeat,
they have gone so far as to ask the direction
