The Norfolk Murder.

Mr.. EDlroR OF the brutal murder, on the
llth inst, in the city Of Norfolk, of Lieutenant
Sanborn by DR.. Wright, you must before thi,
have been informed. Few occurrences in south
eastern Virginia have so erasperated the minds
Of all loyal citizens since the commencement Of
the war. Sauborn, as oil agree, was faithfully
and quietly discharging his duty as n soldier
and officer, neither insulting nor abusing DR..
Wright or any one else, when the murderous
deed was done. Wright would have instantly
shared the fate OF the murderer Of Ellsworth,
and that, too, by the hands OF the Gno company
Of oolored men Of which Sanborn, at the time oil
his death, had charge, had they not been re-
strained by influential white Union men who
were present, and who judged that the moral ef
feet Of the execution Of the murderer after O
regular trial would be, on the whole, better thar
such speedy infection of the punishment de-
served.

his duty, brutally murdered. Whether ho hac

EDIT or THE FREEMAN IL arrived here
last evening from New York, stopping at West
Point one day on my way. AT first thought, in
coming up the Hudson, that the descriptions Of
scenery must have been highly exaggerated, as
saw nothing at all interesting or pleasing. Per-
haps one little matter should be mentioned here,
as it might in the minds Of some have bearing
on the statement; that is, one could not see the
boats length on account Of the very dense fog
which prevailed, and which only lifted as we were
Passing the Palisades, after which it was much
mere pleasant. AT West Point Il Q scenery is
very fine, and so well distributed one can hardly
pariicularize any one scene or spot ss more beau
liiul than the rest. The scenery from Coxzens
Hotel and the drive from there to the Academy,
pleased me most.
Gen. Scott is spending the season at Cozzens
and is now recovering from severe indspostion,
and takes hi, daily drive and sits on the piazza OF
the hotel. The old hero bears well bis weight of
years, reading the papers without glasses, and his
eye is still bright and piercing a, in years gone
by.

zens', and is rea,h he'd by beautiful drive up the
ryeri omnibuses running there several times dur
ing the day. Spent one day at the Academy and
its surroundings. The Cadets are now in camp,
and hsye no rectalions, doing only the practical
part Of military science. COL Bowman is the
present Supstin,endeni,-a native Of Vermont,

so. He is very strict, but also very kind, and is
much respected and esteemed by the Cadets. |

my company around the grounds. was much
interested in witnessing the artillery practice Of
many members Of the first class in large, firing,
firing she'll from battery below, on the river, at
target up the river. We could see the explo-
sion Of the she'll before the report Of the gun
reached US.
There are here many objects of interest. The
drawings, models and paintings by the members
of the various classes many Of the guns taken in
Mexico, some Of very ancient appearance part
OF the old chain stretched across the river in the
Revolution; Old Fort Putnam Koscusko Mon.

From West Point to Albany the scenery is not

mont. But though of his kindred, or even of
his former friends and associates, none were
present as mourners, yet Of real mourners there
was very large company. The procession, as
it started from the front Of the court house
where his body had been resting. was immense
but instead Of diminishing as it proceeded
through the different streets Of the city on the
way to the cemetery, gradually increased, 30
that before reaching it the throng was immense,
numbering, | should think. some two or three
thousand The services at the cemetery, con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr. Scott, Chaplain Of the l2sth
N. T., were appropriate, solemn and impressive.
In the course of his remarks he spoke Of San
born as second Ellsworth, and expressed the
hope that justice, though in the lattcr case
moro tardy, might nevertheless not fail to be ex-
ecuted in this case, any more than in that. In
bis prayer the absent friends Of the deceased
we've remembered, and in manner and in Lam
guage indicating deep felt emotion in the speak
er's own bosom, while the perfect silence which
reigned, and the many fearful eyes by which he
was surrounded, proved clearly that in his emo
tlon OF soul be stood not alone.
The service being ended, the remains were
deposited in tomb, subject to the order of
friends north. Three volleys were fred and the
vast multitude retired, not with noise and con-
fusion, but in solemn silence, some fearing and
Others hoping and expecting soon to see another
funeral procession passing through the streets
OF Norfolk, at the sight of which secesh women
will not laugh-viz that Of DR.. Wright, the
murderer of the lamented SanboIn.

Of the Commission.
came up with the Fifth Corps on the morning
Of the Sd. As we advanced we saw nothing that
told Of battle, except now and then, at long inter-
vals dash Of smoke from the nights held by
Howard. As we drew nearer, however, the hos
pitals told the stery OF what had been aud what
was to come. Our forces proceeded right up 10
line Of battle and speedily every hill was capped
with smoke, the most terrific cannonadiug on
right, on left and front-the whizzing aud burst
ing Of shells and the clstter Of musketry. Then
came the wounded they were lying under every
tree, the woods seemed full Of them, they issued
from every path and were scattered in groups
through the fields aud along the road.sdes. They

spective hospitals II was very small portion
who could be accommodated in ambulancss.
Many OF their hosptalsl was able to point out
10 them AFTER washing their wounds. Poor fel
lows after reaching their hospitsls many Of them
we're little better off The houses and barns
would hold but handful. At one hospital
found hundreds lying on their backs in the open
fled-the sun pouring down into their faces
Their bleeding and neglected wounds were not 9
tormenting as this. They entreated, with q
their powers, as the last request OF dying men,t
have some plan devised TO screen them from the
heat. Every one thought Il useless, for there was
no spare tents at hand nor blankets enough to
wrap about them. In this exigency hardly knew
which way to turn, but | soon found myself
driving stakes with rock and twisting every
spare corner Of their bedding over them. My
success started others and soon l had the pleasure
Of seeing the whole hospital 10 the shade.
But toward evening We saw a shower coming
up and hsre vas new labor. We did the beat
we could, but few escaped the water that night.
This is the way spent my time at 0stysburg-
going round the hospitals reading in the faces OK

speaking words Of comfort and religious consoa-

UNFULFILLED PREDICTION London Times
OF the llih inst. INDUCES itself in the following
view Of the situation in this country;
"From the Federal camp before vieksburg
there was still the same dreary, monotonous and
almost responding bulletin. Gen. Grant had an
impossible task before him, ,cih an adrancing foe
and increasing difficulties behind. Gen. Banks
had mol spsn This much 10 say. for himself At the
last date he had announced to his army that they
must raise thousand volunteers for one more as
sault, and, II they could not take the fort, they
must retreat as fast as possible, il they could re-
treat at all, This was, Of course, to give up the
command Of the great river to the Confederates ;
il was to expose General Grant to similar re.
verse; to endanger the possession Of New Orleans
and all Louisiana, and compromise the safety OF
the Federal forces in that quarter. As yet there
were only rumors as to the results at Port Hud-
,on and Vicksburg; but one cannot help feeling
that in the state Of things in the South, there is
very small margin for success, and very wild 9
margin indeed for every conceivable amount
disasters. In this dark and dreary prospec, there
is hardly CLEAN Of hope from any other quar-
ter"
