Yankee Opinion Of Blockade Raaning .Iesss.
For ONE time back large number of Jews
from this city and other portions ot the
Confederacy have, after aecumulating by
their peculiar tricks of trade, large sums of
money, shown en- overweening desire to de-
sert us in our hour Of trial, taking good care
to carry with them wha. they have made
while among us. That those who still have
il in contemplation to follow in the wake Of
the Judas Iscariots who have a!rea3y gone
before, mag know in what light they are
looked upon at the North, we copy the fol-
lowing extract from the Norfolk, Va, cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ltq~;-er,

both by looks, manners and name, thou. h they

AFFAIRS IN PoRTsMourH.-A gentleman lrom
Portsmouth, Va, gives the Petersburg EalTe5s i
sad account oflhe oppression and sn;triinss of the
loyal citizens Of that place. He says
There were in Portsmouth and its vicinity about
3 U10 soldiers, mostly negroes, commanded BY
Yankee sriicers who seek every opportunity 10
opercss nj annoy the 'Sccesh, As they call the
ioyal citizens. Nearly all the citizens, both NAL"
md female. have been lorccd TO take the oath OF
allegiance To the bincolfNHovernhcht The lew
who have refused TO take il ale constantly watched
by the uegroes, dsiOyal citzens-Oi whom there
are sone-and the Yankee detectives, and feel
that they are constantly liable 10 be arrested and
shut up prison. No sort OF protection is at1hfdcd
to their personal property, and they are at the
mercy of the fends around them. While cur in
iormant was in the city n negro threw MS arms
around the neck OF respectdhle white .aty VINO

ported hin at headquarters, and was asked II SHE
| could identify hm. She readily answered Ia the
| affirmative. He was brought up and identified 10y

| being given, she Uas told 10 tPaye the mouse, as
! she was not entitled to any projections The per
| son from whom we derive this in;1rm1'ion walked
the streets of Portsmouth, and says that scarcely
familiar face could be seen. although before the
war they were well acquainted in the city. The
doors and blinds in the Houses occupied by loyal
pCr5Ons are all cirsed, and a Virginia lady was
rarely to be seen in the streets.
Gen. C'ttV, whose heddquarter- have been al
