The DISTURBANCE IN HAMPTON The
collision between certain white persons from,
Fort Monroe and the negroes of this place
which we mentioned on Friday, occurred, as
we learn on excellent authority, in the follow
ing manner: Some eight or ten men, en-
ployees of the Government in the Ordnance
Department, visited Hampton on the day Of
the ARRAY, Thursday last, in wagon, and
were in that delightful condition popularity
described as half seas over" They drew up
before "the Kecoughtsn House and fastened
their team, where they proceeded to "ire up
In the meantime s. juvenile darkie amused
himself by untying their horses, whereupon a
scene of confusion Immediately ensued, the
excursionists pitching into Cuffee and Cuffee
into the excursonists. The white mon were
outnumbered, and roughly handled. Two of
them having been badly hurt balanced by
an equal number Of the negroes. Tho weap-
ons used were brick-bats and bottles, and the
claret flew A little circumstance we have
heard is worth repeating, for the benefit of
Mr. Greeley. An old inhabitant hearing the
noise accosted negro running by his door,
and inquired the occasion of the tumult, to
which the sable warrior replied; 'Ntffn

ExAGGrRArED RUMoRs. There are various
rumors afoat in this community of an excit-
ing nature, relative to the increase Of cholera
in the suburbs of the city. 1t is alleged that
the ''iufeoted spot" on the Princess Anne
road, has already produced several more cases;
and if we were to chronicle all that we hear
we should, perhaps, enumerate as many as
eight attacks, real, or supposed, as the case
may be. We have high authority for the
belief tina: "bad rcws grows in It's telling"
and there is no doubt that, while the general
health Of Norfolk was never better, these sto-
ries go abroad, from, mouth to mouth, aud

der these crcumstanc es, we respectfully sus-
gest that the B,ari Of Health should at Oh &C
convene, and after an inquiry into these ru-
mors. publish the facts, and from time TO time,
give the public an authoritative statement of
the progress or abatement of the disease
This will at once put these exaggerated state
ments at rest. and relieve the public mind
We are glad to know that Major Simms, the
energetic Sanitary Superintendent, is vigo-
rously at work applying disnfectauts, &C., in
the suspected region, though it is beyond the
corporate Ii mits and with the experience of
New York before us, we may hope to check
the disease. should it really develop itself
among us. Ia order that the efforts of the
authorities may be fully successful we
should, one and all, resort to an energetic and
immediate Use of the proper agents.
