Nobtqlk, Dee. 28, 18815, To tho Editor of iU Sm Tori Nov: The policy of General Naglee, during his brief military role over the citizens of Norfolk and vicin ity, was marked by so many courtesies- and kind acts, that it was apparent to-the most casual obser ver, had he remained to have controlled this- de- nartment six months longer, four-fifths of our pop ulation would, under his mild, beneficent Bway, long since have earnestly arrayed themselves on the side of his government The rateful results of the law of kindness were (very where made manifest. Or der SDrane out of chtos. No man appealed to him r" in vain who had grievances to be redressed. Per sons and property .were new inviolate, except jor pressing military purposes; ana justice wasaumm- Istered with' an even hand to the loyal and disloyal alike, accordins to their respective deserts. The most humble, without being kept waiting at the door bv official menials, bad a ready audience; and the 'machinery of government moved on, as by. clock-work. Indeed; such was the ascendancy ac- ouired over the people, that upon bis removal many hot-headedsecessionistR declared theywere rejoiced at the contemplated change, because he was fast insinuating himself into the good graces of our peo- nlerraakioz them feel that the government, of which he was the honored representative, still cher ished for her erring sons a feeling 01 parencn una ness. - ''. But Mr. Lincoln, or his advisers, grown drunk with power, spirited awav this good man, to- make room for another, and now what is our condition ? I speak it in plain truth. I speak it as Union men from the beginning speak it. It is a Reign of Ter ror. General Wild seems to be independent of General-Barnes, who, -we believe, if he had the power, would deal kindly and gently with us, and re ports only to General But'.er. He has visited the surrounding couutry with fire and swnrd, literally so, and lar beyond the Federal lines devastated whole provinces ; and .threatens that this is only the beginning of that terrible vengeance which he purposes to call dowa upon the heads of defenceless .women and children. In the county of Pasquotank, N. C, forty miles from Norfolk, he hung Daniel Brigh at his own- nouse, oecaose it was oetievea ne was. attacnea to an organized, commissioned' guerrilla company. lie seized more tban -one bundred thousand dollars worth of personal property jn the adjoining coun ties; stripped the farmers of every living -thing, and brought it all away, leaving hundreds of in habitants without a pound of meat or a peck of meal. Many of .these people; to my knowledge, were : loyal, and had been so for months ; suffering for. this loyalty persecution from their own people. They had certificates of .protection from the former commandants of this p03t; and no man questioned their good faith. When he took the property .of Mr. Alornsetts, of UaruUen countv, N. V., be inter posed his certificate of loyalty ; General Wild paus ed lor a moment, took the properly, however, prom king tareturn it when he reached Norfolk. The old man followed him to this city, and again press ed to bis attention bis promises and the shield of , government manifesto, but in vain. The gentle-manMlatly- told him this property -belonged to his negroes, and his loyalty did not protect him. I t saw the tear gush from, the old roan's eye as he j turned away muttering in the anguish of his broken , heart, " I am a mined man ; my children are' beg: gars," 'i Negroes were permitted te curse and abuse "de i fenceless ladiesj to strip them of their jewelry and j clothing, and offer them indignities which' would ! offend delicacy to repeat. A small Confederate i frce captured two of his negroes in a skirmish, and 4Vii 4liia l-i A mi f n naA all a 1nma at si 0 1 trAr1 van tut bit 10 iao vuMHgcu vii w icawo vi viiiiavu naii j lie arrested two ladies of b?gh character, permitted a brutal negro soldiery to tie -them hand and foot, f 1 (as I believe and am credibly informed,) and kept them in . this condition, for two days and nights ; uavuuu vuviu v Aiuiiviia, uuu nun iwccpa liiclu wu fined irf a close room. These he holds as hostages for the return of his negroes. He visited the farm 1 of Mr. Gregory, an old man ot seventy odd years of i age, who, I feel certain, never took any par, in this war, set fire to his dwelling and outhouses, of im t mense value, and burned them to the ground ; stiyp ' ped him of all his personal estate, and brought him a prisoner to Norfolk. - The old map, bowed under ; the weight of many years, infirm in health, weeps , in sorrow on his sad and melancholy fate, declaring '. before God and man he never had raised bis hand in ' aid of this unholy war. He, also, is held as a hos ' tage. I am ready to exokiui, with Madame Roland, i "Oh! Liberty, how many crimes have been commit ted in tny name. You will ask me who is Gen. Wild f I answer, God knows I Whence or where he came, or - what his lineage, the future must disclose. His history is faintly written here in atrocities that make the blood run cold. Whatever else he purposes is not lor me to say. ;iou will inquire further, does Gen eral Butler give bis countenance to these acts of in humanity ? I answer, in all candor. I believe not. 1 saw a letter from General Butler directing General v 11a to wane no arrests without specific charges; the prisoners to bo sent immediately to Gen. Getty I- for investigation ; to seize no property unless under military necessity. Notwithstanding, however, meso express orders, the property has not been re turnedthe prisoners are still in jaiL The truth is, each superior officer, including the Provost Marshal, 'seems to be independent in his sphere o( action, and each, General Barnes excepted, assumes to play the petty tyrant; and lords it, unchecked, on a defence less people. Our only hope, now, 13 in Governor Pierporrt. He has been sent for to stay the hand of raping and vio lence. Can he do it ? Wo shall see. ' In the mean time, unless I am crushed beneath the despot's tread you snail neaMrom your correspondent again. .Exbmptoio -Fahmbes. The question of subsis tencc, both, for our people and our armies, should never be lost sight of, whatever may be the urgen cy of increasing the number of our men inthe field. We are pleased to see that a bill has been introduced in the House bv Mr. Smith, of N. 0.. nronosine to revive the privilege of substitution as far as applica ble to these who, previous to 1st" Jan., 1864,- were engaged in raising subsistence lor man. .Negroes left to themselves will not make their own support They will be come caasnmers instead of producers. apart from greater injuries they would commit, from the utter Demoralization that will ensue, especially Where they are inlarge gangs, if relieved of the re straint of their managers.-. The country is how full of deserters and stragglers, hiding in our mountains nd 8 wraps, and in many nnstaoces confederating with negroes in marauding upon planters. Remove the planters, and the country will soon become an easy prey to demoralised soldiers and skulkers, and to negroes who will become rapidly rebarbavianixed. We would Suggest, in extending this privilege to planters, that it be required of every one so exempt ed, that he shall deliver to the government, prompt-, ly and in good order, a certain proportion of the .surplus of ms crops.

' ' r,' In' waking visions I atill dream it p'erj f- V; It haunts me like my first sweet dream of lore : ' Lost In a wilderness of strange, rare beauty, -I pensive strolled beside a moonlit stream -TiU suddenly I stood, 'aid thousand flowers, , Between two pearly pillars: lavish folds Of sunset purple, erarlandea with roses. ' (ung lightly pendant from a beauteous arch Of melted rainbow hues; and high above, . Where the mist-arch dissolved into the stars, -'. In rosy letters of enameled gold, -These words, just feiptly-visible, 1 traced : TkUii BeulahThe Fair Land of Dream ! "O, for a magic wand V I spoke aloud, : "That I might enter this delightful land 1 " ' ' ' , Scarps had Ae words died on my wnting lips, ' '. . When gently the soft purple folds were parted :. By two young seraphs robed in glittering gems, And I, enchanted with one -little glimpse, Entered the Fairy World. ' . '. . A score of moons . Rolled silvery billows from a summer sky, ' ' The Bifd of Paradise, with colored plumes, . . , Flew like a sailing cloud from flower to flower, , Drinking the honey of the almond buds. And then in globules of sweet, melting musiq Pouring it out again. The very leaves . Of all the million blooms that dangled there -Gave tiny silver notes to the soft breeds Whi ft swung itself to sleep in their ftrfpiue. -: There'were no little) bees ' . To-rob the blossoms ot their honey dewH -And every petal glistened with its sweetness, E'en some dropped honey on the waving grass, - But none was lost, for little fairies came v With tiny cups of golden tulip buds : And caqght the sweet drops as they glided off. And8uddenly there burst upon my ear '. ". " The sound of many voices, small but sweet -' Most ravisbingly,exquisitely sweet . ' ' Surely," I thought, " this is no common day AmoDg the fairy spirits of Dreamland !n And pressing onward thro' the entangled blodtaa, I came to where a silver fountain played Beneath a mossy knoll ; and all around," . In flowers of every hue, light nymphs reclined .. And touched with dainty hands their golden harps, And tiny blue bells round the fountain's rim Chimed in wee tones tbe most exquisite notes. While two Bweet (ays upon the moss-knoll danced, This was a wedding day , - . Among the little fairies of Dreamland t : : . I wandered on for hoars, and thought if heaven Were half so sweet as Dreamland 'twere enough To spend eternity in prayer to gain. - I spied a vale beyond a billowy slope .. Thick with the .snow of fragrant orange buds," . Wherein a bower of most bewitching beauty . Wooed the soft moonlight to more calm repose. " Thither," I thought, " the beauties all retreat When weary with their playful wandering." .' A moment more, and in the magic"bower . I laid me down upon; the green, soft grass, And list'ning to the songs of strange, bright birds, I closed my eyes and sighed a dreamy wish . That I might die. Just then a voice Among the leaves above called me by name I . I oped my eyes, and these strange, tender Words Came floating down in flute-like melody r .

L The President having approved the following joint resolution of Congress, directs its announce ment in Uenerai urders, expressive of his-gratification at the. tribute awarded the patriot officers and soldiers to whom it is addressed. ; For the military laggard, or him who, in tbe-pur-suit of selfish or inglorious ease, forgets hiscountry's need, no note of approbation is sounded. His in famy is his only security from oblivion I But the heroio devotion of those who, in defence of liberty and honor, have periled al, while it confers, in an approving consqence, the best and highest reward, will-also be cherished in perpetual remembrance by a grateful nation Let this assurance stimulate the armies of the Confederacy every where to greater ex ertion and more resolute endurance, till, under the guidance of heaven, (he blessings-ot peace and free- dom shall finally crown their efforts.

Mrs. Washington was as remarkable for punctu ality as her illustrious husband. At one time, dur- ing the General s absence, ne wrote niwrw Mr. James Peale to paint her portrait in miniature, and to send it to him. Mrs, ' Waahingtoa wrote a. note to the artist, saying that her presence at home was indispensable whan the uenerai was away, am .. , j 1 ; : 1 r 1 i -11.. -t V-- painting room.

Mrs. ' Washington met him with the obser vation, "Mr. Peale, I bavp: been in the kitchen to give my orders for tbe day ; . have read the newspa--per, and heard my niece, her tesgon on the harp, 'and vet have waited for you twenty minutes." Tbe gentleman, of course, teit exceedingly moriv- ned, and remarked that 11 his engagement naa oeen with General 'Washington, he should have felt the importance of being punctual to the minute; but he thought it necessary to allow a lady a little more time.

' " I am satisfied that the people of the State- in their moments of calm and deliberate reflection long since' came to the same conclusion. When the con spiring leaders at the South lifted their hands against the Union and pointed to slavery as the institution upon which their visionary republic was to rest. they struck a blow at its very vitals in every Border State, under which it has continued to languish,' and which must inevitably result in its ultimate destruc tion. - .. ,. " It becomes us. therefore, to whom the whole question rightfully belongs, to take immediate meas ures tor its removal, wpietvuiould be no longer de layed, than may be required by s proper respect for thosejndustrial pursuit with which the institution has been so long and so intimately interwoven, and a humane regard for the slave himself which for bids us to cast'bim all unprepared for so great s change, too suddenly upon nts feeble resources.. -The Governor reiterates his objections to tbe man ner in which tbe enlistment of slaves has-been con ducted in the State, and to tbe military interference With elections. HALLELUJAH. . Dr. Hibbard, of the Auburn Advocate, makes the following comment on the word halleluiah, a word WUICIl, owing iu iguunuui ui tui uicnuiug, ia buiuv times irreverently used : Ititfa compound word, made "of halleoo, praise ye. ani Yah or iah, . which is an abbreviation of Jehovah, the most awful name of the SuDreme Beins. Jah, or Jehovah, is derived from hayah, the verb to be, the verb of existence; and when God says, hx., iiL 14-:- "I am that I am,'-' he assumes the same descriptive title as in Kev., l48: "He which is, and which was, which is to come :" that is, the im mutable and eternal One. 'The later Hebrews so reverenced this name that tttey. never spoke it or wrote it, lest they should " take it in .vain." as for bidden Ex., xx ': 7 : but wrote Adonah instead.

MEAT,-For the, purpose of smoking meat, select dry materials, such as have not under gone the slightest decomposition, as smoke is al ways flavored with the substanee burned. Corn cobs produce, according to seme who have directed; us now to proceed, a sweet smoke, containing little water, ana win oe tound to answer tbe purpose ad mirably. Kindle a fire of cobs and hickory, and J cover it with dry saw dust Corn cobs contain an essential volatile oil, Which, when mixed p'th the smoke of the hickory, imparts a very pleasant and paiataoie aroma to tne meat, 1 ae smo;e ot rotten wood is not only unpleasant, but unwholesome, as it is sour, and mostly steam ; besides, it causes the meat to drip. .
