THE SITUATION.
Tho capture of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and
the destruction of the formidable rebel gunboat
Merrimac, which has so long been a terror and an
obstruction to our operations at Hampton Roads,
ia the most important news of the day. As we an
nounced in our extra of yesterday afternoon, Gcu"
Wool, with a force of five thousand men, whom he
landed at Willoughby Point, advanced on Norfolk
on Saturday, and after a brief skirmish with a
rebel battery at Tanner's Creek bridge, pushed on
and took possession of the city without opposition.
A delegation of the citizens met him five miles out
? de of Norfolk, and formally surrendered the place.
The rebel General Huger had withdrawn his
troops previously, and Brigadier General Egbert
L. Vlele was put in command by General Wool, as
m litary governor of Norfolk. The city was found
11 be "injured, and the Gosport Navy Yard in
perfect condition and good order. The rebels,
A iding that they could not save the Merrimac
from capture, set her on fire at three o'clock yes
terday morning, and she blew np in two hours
?fter. President Lincoln in person selected the
landing place for onr troops at Willoughby Point,
?ad was among the first to step ashore.
The arrival of the steaa transport Jersey Blue
from Newbern, N. C., yesterday, which port she
left on the 7th inst., brought the news that our
?ron-clad gunboat Galena had gone up the James
river and sunk the rebel steamer Yorktown and
captured the Jamestown; but as her intelligence
purport* to have been received at Fortress Mon
roe on Friday, the 9th, it is evident that there can
be no truth in it, inasmuch as the despatch of
Secretary Stanton, from the fort, dated at mid
night on Saturday, mentions that the expedition of
Commander Rogers was heard from that afternoon
lending the James river; hence the fleet could
not have accomplished what the news by the
Jersey Blue recounts.
In addition to this news from Norfolk we have
Information that General McCIellan has pursued
the enemy to a point within twenty-two miles of
Richmond. The rebels were still in sight on Satur
day at three o'clock, but wera rapidly telling back.
It was reported that they would make a stand at
Bottom Bridge, on the Chickahominy river, fifteen 1
miles from Richmond. General McCIellan, how
ever, will no doubt make short work of it, though
a heavy battle may be fought there, and will pnah
on to Richmond without much delay.
The Richmond papers admit that the safety of
that city depended upon the Merrimac and the
prospects of obstructing the James river by sink
ing rafts of trees in the stream. These chances
?re of course now destroyed. The Richmond Ex
aminer also advocates the plan of concentrating
?11 the manufactured tobaoco in the city in certata
prescribed warehouses, where it can be destroyed
in case of an unlucky visit from tho " Yankee
vandals.'' The probability is that the rebels
will have an opportunity of disposing
of their stock erf tobacco fooner
hey imagine The destruction of the ootton crop
seems to be deliberately resolved upon by the rebel
government, rather than any portion of it should
fall into the hands of the armies of the United
States. The rebel Secretary of State, J. P. Ben
jamin, has addressed a letter in answer to an in
quiry by a Southern firm whether cotton purchas
ed on foreign account would be treated as exempt
ed from the general law which deolares that
all cotton shall be destroyed when it is about
to fall into the hands of the enemy, in
which he says:?"I know no law which prohi
bits tho purchase of cotton on foreign account, but
I am not aware of any law or reason of policy
which should induco this gover nment to extend to
property thus purchased greater protection than
s extended to that of our own citizens. It is the
settled determination of the government to ?ilow
no ootton to faU into the hands of our enemies, as
it is perfectly well known that they would seise
and appropriate to themselves all cotton they could
find, without regard to ownership. If yonp cor.
respondents buy cotton they must expect to share
the same risks as are incurred by our own cltl
MOI.

Jeff. Davis has already given the rebels two "na
tional" fasting and prayer days, and be has jns^
issued his proclamation for a third, which is to take
place next Friday, the 16th inst. The first occurred
on the 13th of June, 1861, and the next day Jeffer
son City, Mo., was captured from their hands, and
Sterling Price, the Governor of the State, with all
the rebel State officers, skedaddled; and the fourth
day thereafter General Lyon won a brilliant victory
over the secesh troops at Booneville, Mo. The
next proclamation of Jeff, for a day to bo devoted
to fasting, hnmiliation and prayer in the Confeder
ate States of America, fixed the time on the 2*th
of February, 1862. Of course it was duly observed,
and from that date to the present has followed a
succession of Union victories In his last procla

Mr. H. Campbell, a merchant of Nashville,
bought sixty-six bales of cotton of a planter in

eracy.
The City Council of Nashville have passed an
ordinance declaring that whoever shall be guilty
of,uttering treasonable or seditions words or
speeches, speaking aloud falae news, or dispensing
scandalous libels against the corporation or the
government of the United States, or shall meet
together for the purpose of inciting rebellious
conspiracies or riots, shall pay a fine of not less
than twenty-five dollars. The secesh gentry are
opposed to it.

or* Militart and Naval (^wrespondixch.?
Many of our readers have no adequate idea of
the dangers incurred by our corresponded in
obtaining the war news which we daily place
before the public. This war has developed a
new class of literary men, who flfeht ai?

dangers they describe. At New Orleans,
Williamsburg, West Foint, Fort Pulaski,
Yorktown, Fort Macon, Pittsburg, Fort
Henry, Lee's Mill, Tea Ridge, Fort Royal
and many other military and naval engage
ments, our correspondents have been not only
graphic historians, but also actual participants
in the fighting. The correspondent of the Lon

Norfolk and Portsmouth Our?-Th? Hon*
itvr Mcrrlmnc UnlrojreU
Lincoln at a Corumantler-ln-CUl?l??Q?ne
ral Mrl'lolluu Onwurd?Anolbtr Naval
Victory In lilt We?t.
The quiot of a New York Sabbath was agree
ably interrupted yesterday by the stirring and
glorious intelligence from Fortress Monroe tlial
"Norfolk is ours, anil also Portsmouth and the
Navy Yard;" that ''the city and the N .vy Yard
were not burned that the rebel General
lluger, while declining to play the incendiary,
"withdrew his forces without a battle;'' that
?'the landing of our trooj>s was effected at Wil
lotighby's Point, at a spot selected the previous
day by President Lincoln himself, who wa?
among the first" who stepped ashore;" and, to
crown all, that the rebel monster, the Merri
mac, on Sunday morning, "at two minutes be
fore five o'clock," was blown up and went
down, having, m a last resort, been fired by
the rebels themselves.
Simultaneously with these good tidings from
the department of General Wool came the
news that the advanced detachments of General
McClellan's army are within twenty-two miles
of Richmond, and "crowding" the rear guard of
the retreating enemy; and that the rebel
General Jo. Johnston is expected to make a
final staqd for the "Confederate capital" at the
Bottom Bridge crossing of the Chickahominy,
within seventeen miles of the city; and we
think that his orderly and systematic retreat
indicates a desperate and bioodv struggle close
at hand.
Entirely satisfied with the budget of tho day,
our fellow citizens had addressed themselves to
their usual Sabbath evening devotions and re
creations when they wore again electrified by
an "Extra Herald," announcing another deci
sive naval victory over the rebel iron-clad rams
' and gunboats of the Mississippi. And thus
passed, in this rejoicing metropolis, our most
remarkable Sunday in the history of this vic
torious war for the Union.
Hardly second in importance to the recovery
of New Orleans by our invincible naval forces
is this restoration of Norfolk and its Navy
Yard to the "old flag" without the loss
of a'single man, and the destruction of the
Merrimac. And how have these great results
been achieved ? First, by the army of General
McCleilan and its march towards Rich
mond. To strengthen their defensive army in
that quarter the rebel leaders were compelled
to draw very largely upon General Huger, and
thus to leave Norfolk mainly dependent upon
the Merrimac for its protection. Secondly, it
appears from Commodore Goldsborough's apo
logetic report to President Lincoln that said
Commodore had been instructed by the Presi
dent to remove that nuisance, the Merrimac;
and that, although the naval demonstration the
other day in Hampton Roads, in pursuance of
said instructions, failed directly to accomplish
the object in view, it did suffice to convince the
commander of the Merrimac tbat the odds were
too heavily against him to risk a battle with
our fleet, and that he had no other resource
than to make a bonfire of his ship. Next, ar
President Lincoln himself selected the point of
landing of the troops of General Wool, it is
clear that all these great results in and about
Norfolk are immediately due to the presence
and sagacity of the President as our active
Commander-in-Chief in all these suceesaful
movements. He was, doubtless, convinced in
his own mind that what was done by our naval
heroes of the Mississippi could be done by our
noble sailors of Hampton Roads; and the re
sults have fully confirmed the soundness of this
conclusion.
Thus, upon General McClellan rails the im
port ant task of the final blow to the rebellion
in Virginia. We await the iaeue with absolute
confidence. He may suddenly find himself in
fierce collision with a superior force in point
of numbers; but all the other essentials to suc
cess are so immensely in his favor that our
only doubt of the result is whether the enemf
will be dispersed or captured. Meantime, the
destruction of the Merrimac gives us not only
the undisputed control of James river, but
gives to our venerable Secretary of the Navy
the vessels and the means required for a final
settlement with Fort Sumter and that original
ne?t and hotbed of this rebellion, the unpun
ished city of Charleston. Let that heavy out
standing account be settled, and the people of
Virginia and the other border slave States, and
of the whole South?deceived, betrayed and
ruined by the mad ambition and selfish cruelty
of South Carolina?will rejoice at the righteous
retribution of her humiliation.
Our triumphs on the land and water follow
each other so rapidly, and with such accumulat
ing force, that we may predict a month, or even
a wcok, as the remaining remnant of life to that
death-stricken monstrosity known as the go
vernment of the "Confederate States of Ame
rica." General McClellan, from the East, maj
give the signal to General Halleok. In the West,
for the complete dislocation and dispersion of
its last srmy; or Ilalleck, from the West, may
precipitate the rebel evacuation of Virginia.
1a any event, the days are numbered of Davis
and his Confederate impostors as the rulers of
the South, and they must be quick and vigilant
in their flight, or they will not even escape to
Mexico. _
Anotukk Naval Victort on the Mississip
pi.?By the important despatch, in another
column, to the Navy Department from Comme
dore I>avis, successor of Commodore Fuute,
near Fort Pillow (or Fort Wright, as it is also
called), it will be neen that the rebel gunboats
at that place, with which the vaunting Hollins
threatened euch wonders*, have been defeated
in a naval action of one hour. Two of the
boats were blown up and one s3kk, whtn the
enemy retired with tbe remaining fire behind
tie shelter of the fort, By a letter from the
Confederate steamer Florida, which we publish
to-day, it will be observed that there are seve
ral nuns and iron clad vessels in Mobile.
Af ter they are destroyed the whole of the coast
and the navigable rivers will be clear of them.
They can neither make gunboats nor fight them.
Let them give the business up at onee.
With the destruction of three of their boasted
iron-clad fleet at Fort Wright, before their
eyes, following that of the conUapration and
sinking of the flout at New Orleaus, and with
the knowledge that the victorious commodore
to whom Fort Jackson and Fort St. Philip sur
rendered is rapidly approaching Memphis, if
ho is not alroady there, the rebels will be
greater fools than they are reported to be if
they hold out any longer at Fort Wright. Mem
phis in possession of our fleet, there is nothing
left to defend. But if they should bold out
there is but small chance for them after a few
broadsides from Porter and Farragut.
Defeated, as they have been, in every naval
action, overthrown on tbe sea and on the
rivers, and even wherever they approach them,
it is useless for the rebels to contend any
longer against their fate. It is evident that
w.iter is not their element. They will soon
find out that the land is equally hard for rebel
lion to travel. In fact, they would now show
their wisdom, if they never showed any before,
by imitating the 'coon whioh voluntarily de
scended from a tall tree to save Captain Scott
the trouble of bringing him down with his un.
erring rifle.
This News from Nkw Orleans.?The intelli
gence from New Orleans which we published
yesterday is of the most gratifying character
The development of the Union sentiment*
though gradual, is nevertheless sure. At first,
on tho 26th ultimo, the citizens, as represented
by the journals, appeared to feel the disgrace
of the capture of the city and the presence of
the Stars and Stripes. On the 28th they de
clared the destruction of some of the property
unnecessary. They were satisfied about the
burning of the cotton which was ordered by the
Confederate government, but the destruction
of sugar and molasses was wanton,?some of it
belonging to widows and some to unnaturalized
foreigners. This was destroyed, not by the au
thority of Jeff. Davis, nor by that of the State go
vernment, nor by that of the municipal authori
ties, but by the rowdy element of the city, and
tbe thieve* and courtesans?tbe same who inso
lently flaunted the rebel flag in the faces of our
troops, at tbe very moment when tbe city was
in their power, and they could lay it in ashes.
For their forbearance our naval officers are
entitled to great praise. It would not be just
or Judicious to visit a whole city with the mis
deeds of a few scoundrels.
The city was gradually subsiding into a calm,
and tbe Mayor had ordered the provision
stores to be opened to the starving population
There is no doubt that as soon as General
Butler reached the oity all would go on
favorably to the full development of the
Union sentiment which we know exists
in New Orleans, and only wants a chance to
assert itself. There are two great events at
hand which will make it free to do so?one is
the approaching destruction of tbe rebel army,
led by Johnston, near Richmond; the other is the
overthrow of Beauregard's army in the South
west. With tho destruction of these two armies
the doom of secession is sealed, and Unionism
will be tbe prevailing sentiment of the South,
openly and fearlessly expressed.

of Infantry, Captuin Robinson's battery of light artillery,
and the Sixth cavalry, undor Major Williams.
The rear guard of the enemy which romained here last
night, and which our mon had to drive before thom, was
General Ixmgstreet's divialon, consisting of ten regiments
of infantry, two batteriea and a regiment of cavalry, the
First Virginia.
Our advance was this morning strengthened, on ascer'
talningthe force of the euomy, by the Eighth Illinois
cavalry and two rogiments of the First New Jersey
brigade.
Tbe euomy, on leaving here this forenoon, fired two
buildings containing commissary and quariermastors'
stores.
The engagement yesterday between our advance aad
the enemy's rear, at Slater's Milla, three miles from
here, resulted in fourteen of the enemy's cavalry being
killed and several taken prisoners.
They secured their wounded.
The Sixth cavalry, which made a most brilliant ohnrge,
had three killed and three men missing, and thirteen
wounded.
Howell Cobb remained hero last night, and left with
he rebela this morning.
Tbe enemy's retreat has been most admirably accom
plished, carrying almost everytMng with them in the
shape of forage and provisions, the wagon trains in tho
daytime and the troops at night.
The enemy covered their retreat with a line of skir
mishers stretched aeroea the country, driving in their
stragglers at tbe point of the bayonet.
The Richmond papers of the 6th make no mention of
the movements of their army.
The country between here and Bottom bridge is thick
ly wooded, with few cloarings, and In many plaoeslow
and swampy.
The jail here waa burned yesterday.
The railroad from West Point to the bridge where it
crosses the Pamuakey river has been torn up.
The d extraction of the bridge will probably follow.
