Norfolk Is distant only five miles from the city. Al
this place the Rebels had made preparations in every
way possible to make it battlefield, and it wa,
we'll adapted for this purpoOe.
About 9 o'clock in the morning, Gen. Wool ac-
companied by Generals Mansfield and Viele and Sec
re,ary Chase came up with the Sixteenth Marsachu'
setts, and they were at once marched down TO the
bridge across Tanners Greek, the bridge which the
Rebels had just before set on fire.
As a small party of the 20th Regiment came near
to it, the bridge being all in flames, the Rebels
opened upon them with a small fed battery from
the opposite side of the creek. Our forces being
without artillery and it being impossible to come
within rifle. range they fell back to the Gross Roads,
about four miles, where, after short consultation,
il was decided that Gen. Mansfield should proceed to
Fortress Monroe for consultation with the Presi-
dent and Secretary Stanton.
< Gen. yiele has now placed in command Of tie
10Th Ncw-York Regiment, Col. Bendix. and the 10th
Massachusetts, a portion Of Gen. Max Webers
brigade. With this command Gen. Vele took the
advance The roads in some places were exceed
ingly bad and in many places were obStructsd by
trees.
When within q mile and half Of the batteries,
the column was halted in a small copse the 2oth
Regiment ordered forward, Major Dodgcs Cavalry
taking the lead, and upon near reconnaissance OF
the enemy's works they were found to DO vacated
Msior Dodge then went into them with bis cavalry,
followed closcly by Gems Wool, Viele, Max Weber
aud Secretary Chase.
In these works we're left the Doth Regiment Union
Coast Guard, Col Woodruff; the 5Sth Pennsylvania
Regiment, and the llth New-York, Col. Beodix.
Gen. Wool was informed ut this place that the Ret'
els had entirely evacuted Norfolk. After short
examination Of the works, which he found TO be OF
immense strength. though not mounting Its whole
armament, he took up bis line Of march for Nor
folk, Mai. Dodges cavalry i'll forming tho advance,
aud the Goth Regiment coming along behind him.
Upon nearing the city, white flag was observed
70 be waving over a small shanty. An orderly WIS
DISPATCHED to investigate, and il was found to be
aag of truce from the Mayor and Common Council
of the city-Gen. Huger having surrendered the city
into the hands Of the cisil authorities but few
hours previous, and left i'll bo: haste, taking all his
soldiers with bin. The Mayor and Common Council
had come out to see what terms Gen. Wool would
make with them.
ANer a short consultation the terms were con.
siercd satisfactory, and the general was invited to

and Gen. Viele with small escort only OF cavalry,

THE SOUTHERN EXPEDITION.
The forces now going south from this
point have been assigned by Gen. Blunt to
the command Of Gen. Doubleday. It viii
be sufficiently strong to occupy and keep
in subjection the country of the rebel In
dians, and even menace the border OF
Texas, on the line Of the Rea river. The
forts in the Indian Territory are Gibson,
Arbuckle, Washita and Cobb OF these,
Fort Gibson was dismRntled and abandon
ed several years since; Fort Cobb is a new
post, and Forts AFbuckle and Washita are
the old frontier defences of Texas against
the Camanches and KiOwa Indians. These
forts are situated as follows;
Fort Gibson is on the Arkansas river,
l60 miles south Of this place, and So miles
west of Fort Smith, by the Military road
and 80 by the Whisky road Tahleyua, the
Capital of the Cherokee Nation, is near
Fort Gibson. Fort Arbuckle is 140 miles
southwest Of Gibson; Washits is go miles
south of Arbucl1le and Cobbis $50 miles
west of Arbuckle, in the Washita Noun
tains. It was built for the protection of
the Texas Indians, who were removed
thither in 1860.
should Gen. MitcheTs division move
southwest in the direction Of Fort Cobb, he
win be able to occupy the whole Of North
western Texas to the Rio Grande, effective
ly cutting off their Communication with
New Mexico and Arizona. We hope, ere
long, to see the Texans receiving their
share of punishment for their partieiPa-
ton in The rebellion.
