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. PEYTON H. COLQUITT, > v , it „ r> JAMES W. WARREN. ( Mlfor ' $5 I’i.K ANNUM 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.” The following order has been Issued in Norfolk : Headquarters Dep't op Norfolk;, j Norfolk, Va., Dec. 20, 1861. j Hereafter no letter exceeding one page of or dinary sized letter paper will be sent to the Uni ted States by flag of truce.
