THE YANKEE RULE I'm NORFOLK.

The North ts sosenGaged in howltag over
their prisoners In Richmond that they forget
that CoDfederates sometimes get beyond
their lines who have experienced their ten
der mercies in prison. We have had some
conversation with q gentleman who has just
been relieved from Fort Norfolk, where
there are about - prisoners, including sol
diers and citizens. He was In there for a
month, and says that the fare is infinitely
worse there than In the Confederate prisons
small loaf of bread and two ounces O,
meat per day, Is the allowance, with some
slosh which appears under the various name 9
Of tea, coffee and soup. The citizens are
charged with "gross offences" against the
Yankee Government, which means acting as
guerillas. Many of them never had gun in
their hands, and were arrested merely to
crafty the cruelty Of their taptors. The cit
liens of Norfolk, before Beast Butler took
command, were allowed to visit their friends
In the prison every day, but now they can
only go twice a week. The following is IL

like the oath Of allegiance, and being traitors TO
The Government, and suspected Of gross offences
against il, be at once transported across the lines,
nor he permitted within them again, and that they,
moreover, be informed that should they he either
taken within the lines, ar pretended In rrar

be dealt with according 10 the strict 1gor of The
