NORFOLK CORRESPONDENCE.
Norfolk and its defences —The Merimac and its
guns — burn it—The [Prisoners —
Cannon raised—Navy Yard — Homicide — Gov.
Brown’s position on State Defence.
Norfolk, Dec. 25, 1861.
Dear Times: —All furloughs .for soldiers are
now suspended by the Major General comman
ding this harbor. The intimation |,that Norfolk
may be attacked causes the .utmost enthusiasm
among our troops, and they put up with any in
convenience to facilitate an engagement with the
enemy. The battery at Sewell’s Point has been
reconstructed, and its big guns frown on the Fed
eral Fortress. Craney Island, Pig's Point, Lam.
bert’s Point, Fort Norfolk, and [the battery at
the Portsmouth Naval Hospital, will do efficient
service in the event of an attack.
The long talked of Merimac will be afloat in
a few weeks. Her crew is now ; made up. She
is built upon the finest model in the world, and
though looking like a huge terrapin, she carries
splendid engines, and the best guns in the ser
vice. Her sides are plated and replated with
thick bars of iron, and the top is arranged for the
escape of smoke, fche can capture [any man of
war or gun boat now on the waters. She will
have four rifled cannon and six 32 Dahlgreen
guns. Lookout for a crash amongr the Fadere*
Fleet in Hampton Roads some of these days:
The hulls of the ships sunk last Spring are
now seen at the Navy Yard, and eighty cannon
and many hundred shell have been raised. The
cannon will have to be recast before being fit for
service. They were thrown overboard from the
Pensylvania.
Three men were captured in the Navy Yard
some nights since from Fortress Monroe. They
had matches and candles, and no doubt intended
to burn the Merimac. One of the men was a
discharged workman on the Merimac, who had
deserted and gone over to the enemy. They will
be taken care of.
A Court Martial is now sitting in Norfolk.—
Col. Lomax of the 3d Alabama, of the
best officers in the army, is President.
A homicide occurred here on the 24th. Priv.
Walter Grtffin of the Macon Volunteers, shot a
man by the name of Cassey, killing him instant
stan ly. It was a case of self-defence, as the tes
timony shows, and Griffin will no deubt be dis
charged.
Our Battalion (2d Georgia) are in a fine state
of discipline and most excellent drill. They have
comfortable winter quarters and are well satis
fied. Major Hardeman is the popular comman
der.
W e see the papers occasionally. Gov. Brown’s
position in regard to the State troops is endorsed
by our soldiers. They admire the spirit of the
Governor to defend our State, and hope he may
be as determined to drive off the invaders as
were the old Romans. ‘Delenda est CarthayoV
PRIVATE.
Ben. McCulloch no General. —The Rich
mond correspondent of the Charleston Mercu
ry says :
Ben McCulloch is at the Exchange. Say*
he has a fine army of 8,000 men, but no one
to command them. Hence his visit here.—
Confesses he is no General. Says Price and
his whole command will certainly be taken
prisoners. A gentleman reports this, who
heard him say it.
Ben is a dashing partizan, nothing more.—
He has been a clog and nuisance to Price: At
tbe battle of Oak Hills, his utter incompetency
was painfully manifest. This is the common
talk in town.
J§St"*The Columbus Artillery, under Captain
Croft, numbering 125 men, a battery of four 6-
pounders, and two howitzers, and 65 horses,
fully caparisoned, reached this city on Wed
nesday last. They were immediately posted
at a point where their services may soon be
needed. We feel confident they will give a
good account of themselves should the enemy
come within range. Capt. C. is a South Caro
linian, a gentlemen and soldier, whose popu
larity i s seen in the unlimited confidence and
esteem he enjoys of every man in his ranks.—
Savannah Repub. 28 th.
Anecdote. —At the late session of the Legis
lature (says the Charleston Courier) a veteran
member of that body, from the interior of the
State, in the course of a speech on some financial
subject, introduced or insinuated an old proverb
thus—“lf you sue a beggar you will recover
you know what, n with a gesture very like a
scratching of the head. Shortly after in another
speech, having been’perhaps emboldened by his
first attempt, he came out with the whole prov
erb, scrupling not to call the thing by| its right
name, thus —“If you sue a beggar, you will re
cover a louse.” Thereupon a witty member of
the Charleston "Delegation fremaked to those
near him ; —“When the venerable member first
spoke he had the thing in his head, but he has
now taken it out.”
This reminds us of the witty epigram of the
celebrated British Minister Fox:
A lady once told me and in her own house
She did not regardime three skips of a louse-
But I forgave the dear creature she
said,
For ladies will talk of what runs in their haad.

Another Proclamation,
Our readers will find a treat in the following
extract from the proclamation of Brigadier
J. W. Phelps, at present in command of the
Federal forces at Ship Island, near New Or
leans. We despair ofever seeing a climax to
Northern arrogance, ignorance and folly. We
thought it was reached by Fremont, but Sher
man overtopped him, and now this bellowing
idiot strides many furloughs in advance ol
both. According to the logic of J. W. P., the
Constitution has been a dead letter for half a
century. Indeed he sees no use for a Consti
tution at all, for everything must be subsistent
of the “vitalities of Republican Government’'
and of the “dominant political principle.” No
toriety is all these fellows seem to covet,
whether praiseworthy or infamous, they care
not. They are content, like the foulness of
the earth to attract notice by their uoisorue
ness:
Headquarters, Middlesex Brigade, U
Ship Island, Dec. 14, ISGI. J
To the Loyal Citizens of the South- West :
Without any desire on my own part, but
contrary to my private inclination, I again find
myself among you as a military commander of
the Government. A proper respect for my
fellow-countrymen renders it not out of place
that I should make known to you the motives
and principles by which my command will be
governed. We believe that every State that
has been admitted as a *lave State into the
Union since the [adoption of the Constiution,
has been admitted in direct violation of that
Constitution. We believe that the slave
States which existed as such at the adoption
ofthe Constitution are, by becoming parties to
the compact, under the highest obligations ot
honor and morality to abolish slavery.
It is our conviction that monopolies are as de
structive as competition is conservative of the
principles and vitalities of jrepublican govern
ment,• that oelave .labor is (a monopoly which
excludes free labor and competition; that slaves
are keut in comparative idleness and ease in a
fertile half of our arable national territory, while
free white laborers, constantly [augmenting in
numbers from Europe, are confined to the other
half, and are often distressed by want; that the
free labor of the North has more need of expan
sion into the Southern States, from which it is
virtually excluded, than slavery had into Texas
in 1844; that free labor is essential to free insti
tutions; that these institutions are naturally
better adapted and more congenial to the Anglo
Saxon race than are the despotic tendencies of
slavery; and finally, that the dominant [political
principle of this North [.American Continent, so
long as the Caucasian race continues [to flow in
upon us from Europe, must needs be that of free
institutions and free Any obstruc
tions to the progress of that form of Government
in the United States must inevitably be attended
with discord and war.
A Warning from Havana.
A in Havana, writing on the
sth inst., says:
“My countrymen have to contend with un
scrupulous foes, and our people should not he
lulled into any fancied security by the very
moderate proclamations of Sherman and others
for 1 have this day learned from a Yankee,
styling himself the intimate triend of the Yan
kee General, Burnside, that the latter, at his ta
ble, in New York, had mentioned, in confidence,
that the proclamations of the Generals of Lin
coln were to be a part of the programme to in
duce, as far as possible, non-resistance, until
Charleston and Savannah could be placed un
der their batteries, and laid in ashes. As the
burning ot either city would create horror in the
minds of civilized nations, it appears that the in
vading forces are.tobe supplied with heavy seige
guns of great range, and, under pretence of the
ignorance of their effect, they are to ignore
even the rights of humanity until they can effect
their complete destruction. I am not aware
whether Mr. Burnside is the intimate friend of
the party relating the above, but I do know that
my informer is a member ofthe firm of Haugh
wout <fc Cos., of New York. 1 fear not for the re
•ult; but let our people know that they must not
sleep the sleep of Brutus, but be prepared for
war to the knife; that they are dealing with
Yankees, who will offer protection and kindness,
the better to be able to destroy their victims.
Let Carolina and Georgia be as Sparta of old.
and the breasts of their sons the walls to de
fend them.”
