NORFOLK AND THE MERRIMAO-MR. FOX.
During the examination as to the en-
gagement between the Monitor and the
Merrimac, Captain G. V. Fox, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, having been asked
the question:
Did it ever occur to the Navy or War De-
partments, before the Merrimac was prepared,
to see whether it was not well enough to take
Ans,oer-fhe matter of taking Norfolk has
been talked over great deal. The movement
of General Butler to take Newport News, was
in reference to the ultimate possession of Nor
folk
The President at that time was very much in
favor of it, and it was believed that it could
have been done then without any difficulty.
General Butler, dated some time in the latter
part of May, when he was down there, setting
forth the feasibility of capturing Norfolk.
Question-HOw came that to fall through?
AnsUer-That could not say The matter
was presented to Lieutenant General Scott
can give you my impression about it.
Question-DO so, if you please?
Anscer-My impression is that the panic in
regard to Washington that occurred after the
battle of Bull Run blocked this enterprise as it
seemed to block every other enterprise that
was proposed elsewhere. General Butler had
at one time got as high as eleven thousand
men down there, and they were still sending
troops to him until this "panic" here, when
they were all taken from him except some four
or five thousand men.
Questioas-Tne ghost of Bull Run was in the
way?
Answer--Yes, sir, and it also put off Du-
points expedition for two or three months.
We could get no soldiers after that for any of
our expeditions.

TO the Editor Of the Wig;
SIR:-In your editorial notice Of the Rules adopted
by the Comptroller to property taken and used by
the Confederate troops by order Of commanding OH
Ger, you speak Of my having COMPOUNDED the Executive
With the Government and then say that "By proceed
ing without Law the citizen is exposed to the license of
every upstat agent &c" 10 making this remark you had
overlooked the fact that had shown 10 my letter TO the
Secretary of War that this proceeding entirely in
compliance with the U. S law of August 30 1919, which
is Of course in full force in this Conederacy by the
operation Of of the first Acts passed by our Con-
gress at Montgomery, declaring that "A the laws of
the United States of America in force and in in the
Confederate States Of America the lst day of No
vember last aud inconsistent with the Constitution
of the Confederate States BE- and the hereby,
continued III force until altered repealed by Con-
gresl" would further state that had drawn bill to
be passed by Congress than year ago to cover
these cases but it has never been acted upon. 1t is
however probable that the bill just introduced by Gen.
Wisfal may meet with better fate.
Very respectfully
Your obedent servant,
