Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Chamber t f
Commerce. Sse*-t is the language of praise, when it
comes from s high source of iute‘1 gence and m> raj
worth ; and sweet is the consciousness of having labor
i ed through a long life to deserve euch praise. Tbe
; measure is full and orutiowing. This great cilamity
' which has come upon our country—this great rtbtU.o i
i —found me fir advanced ia life, and by the labor and
i anxieties which it threw upon me bat broken me down.
I l aland before you quite a wreck. Had this calamity
occurred seme three or four years earlier, it would have
found me in a state of vigor, in a condition lo render
i some service to my country, to meet that rebellion ; an-!
| 1 thh k and ll ftter myaelf that I should hsve met it with
| considerable fcuocees.
| Although it has thrown mo h me du combat mr-eK, I
have the happiness of saying to you—sad my opinio
! may l« of some lit la value upon that subject—that 1
j have left in the field a large, noble aud patriotic army,
| for it is filled with many of our best citizens, tlficci
' aid men, commanded Oy Generals of very great merit—
! Generals capable of commanding and enchaining vie- 1
j tory so tboir cars. I have left in ihe (j *ld young and
j rigorous men competent to do all tho dudes which their ,
] couctry cso require of them—a Major General, McCicl- I
Ian, full of science and grind.;, and already of respects
1 ble experience. I have left U*jor-Geueral Halleck, an- •
j other officer of genius sod science, and judgment and
! direrctioo, who oauant fail lo meet sil the wianes of hi.
Govern meat sad his country. Beside-* tLejc Major
Generals, we have many Brigadiers and Oolonols of h-gii
! worth. I do not, therefore deapt r of tb* Union. Nay,

to nothing but the United Slates of America, and I mean

I am about to leave this city and my country for it

YANKEE PRISONERS AT CHARLESTON—LETTER
FROM COL. CoRCORAN.
We make the following extract} front' letters from
Osh Corcoran, of the New York S x y-Ninlb Regiment, ;
now in confinement at Castle Hockney, S. 0. He was
captured, it will be remembered, at Ball Run, and ia
held a hostage for Smith, coavictsf of piracy in Phila
delphia. Col. C. says :
' In my list I mentioned that the people Of Charleston
had treated us wl h eonstderat le couRcsy on the occu
ion of our arrival in and depirture from that City, but
neglected to atats another la rorable oiling* in our treat
ment here. The officers have the liberty of the isl
ando* which the cisrie ii riftuted, from tbe reveille t# t
retreat, and are now allowed on the ramparts unlit tat- j
too. The rank and file are nllowid the liberty of the in
terior yard during tbe aforesaid hour*. This is quite a I
eba’ gs from Yirgiuiahorpitaiity, where we had uot been j
permuted oue moment for air or exercise during the !
fifty da*s of oor drtjntion In the ever memorable totac- (
co factory, and without bedding of any kind. 1
The Bwbop of ibis piiue vsi^d me, acd spoke In that ;

that it was impoerihie, without imminent danger, tocrorf ,
over f.ciu the City; but we expect him at hi* earliest
convenience. Tub is tbe tint time that any apparent in

NORFOLK MATTERS AS GIVEN BY AN ALIEN
ENEMY.
The following statement is furnished the New York
Tribunt by Mr. Henry Davis, a shoemaker, who left
Norfolk on Friday week list, urdir s flag of truce. Ho
had been a resident ot Norfolk for the past ten moo tha.
A few d.»ye ago tlour tote in Norfolk from 6 to $8 50
a barrel on account of tbs oat-break amoeg the Union
tneu ot Tennessee. Ot ffee is 6*i cants s p >und tnd vary

pound. Fish is plentiful, and meat popple live qu that
diet, with com bread; salt pork, 30 oeau; lard, 16 cents
a pound; potatoes, (l a bu-hel; candies, common tallow,
26 to Sir cants a pound, and sperm, 10 cents each.
Glo king ot everv kind is very high. Common black
pintalonns, li to *18; ve«te, from 12to$20; black frock
coats, (60 Dry goods of all kiodi have advanced from
600 to 1,000 per cent. Most of the goods are brought
from New Orleans at present
rw for hams and shnea. «ole leather sold at
$1 a pound, with not a pound left In Norfolk when our
inform int cute away, dxeept wbat llttl > tbe shoemakers
held; upper leather, calf, $100 for a doxens (kins. No
in iteriais f jr ladies’ shoes to be hid. Lidias' shoes sold
at fire to lit dollars a pair, very common $S #0. Men’s
1 lead-bool* $8; long 12 to $20 All kinds of business
w s very good, many people baring started small man
ufactories for various necessaries, giving poor people
employ mem.
Tne chief apology ofl’erfd for tbo B.-aufort defeat was
die fact thnt the guns kicked eras and tbna threw vic
tory into tbe Up oi the North; if else the a—nnltion
gave out jail ns ihu gunners hail got tha rang* and
were going to (iuk the flaet. ' a
The Menimse hi* been irarsfonned into a peat bat
tenog rsm, w;th a n eel noae, for ruuning down VMsels.
All her internal work* are completed, but her pUtiug is
only pir ially iff cted as yet. She is to be sbeatbed
from tbe wat*r line upwird w’lta iron plates one foot
wide and two inches thick, ibe sime way as her planks,
and then agiin nbea.bi-d with nimble piste* over that,
rnnning up tbe same way a* her ribs, the whole to be
oolted through ani i n rough. Tlfty expect to get
her finished by the 1st of January, but, from tbe
setreity of tbe plates and tbe slowoess of the work, it
will probably be nearer the I at of-June before ahe ie
roady tor s a. Wncn complete d, aha is to tun down
■ one da k rainy night to tbe Beads, aud stnasb up and
an k the fleet. Her engines are four feet below watar
line, and ber side* slop* award. She Is to lie covered
overhead with a btfmb proof network of railroad Iron.
She is co: to bave a ty decks, except forward and aft, tor
’ths big pivot guns, with gailerii s for her broadside ar
m rnt. It is thought that ahs will bs so hot maids, from
Vint ot ventilation, tbal very few persons are willing to
•hip in her. n?r armament is to bs oT tbe heavieit aud
best r.fl.d ciuuon known, and there Is uo doubt, if she
has a cnance, ahe will do an immense amount of damage
to our tf ;et.
About 15<i, men women and children left Norfolk when
Sir Divisctd. When they came tff they had to sacii
fi >e everything, a* no ouo would buy their property. As
it was, tbe guird bsd to protect them to tbe boat or the
“RittieSaakis’’ would bave mobbed them,•
Hold and silver coin wa.iso-.rco. Buinplostershad to be
exchanged for it at 21 to 26 per cent, ducouut. Never
theless, ehoemak an, tsilor* and other michaaic* coaid
mika good wsgt-s. Mr. Davis corned trout $20 to $30 per
week clear ot all expeuser; but the pleasure* ol living in
fiecessia, even with such templing inducement*, were not
sufficient to kocp bint there. Nortb'Careliaa prohibited
the eipotUtion ol aoy more supplies from the State,
and uow tbit, Tcuuemee Caiou men bad cot ett that
State from Virginia, they did not know what ibex were
going to <h>- A merchant in Norfolk had bought a large
lo' o' bacon in North Carolina, vecemly, at 16 oeuts a

It it difficult to toil how many suldlera are et Norfolk,
as ni»:.v are cursropcd about the town The estimated
number varied from 10/00 to 20,000. Mott of the
rroooa bite gone into wlcter quarters, haring built huu
for that purpose. .
Norfolk i* "ell defended. Oa the Portsmunth aide are
miles of embankment, with heavy guut from ibe navy
rard, at inlerrili of 100 yards. Tno camps are about a
half a mile distant from rich other. Oa the Norfolk
side, for fiv.’ or six miles, billed** run along the Prin
ces! Anne Mad, with riniiar armxment The troops in
and about Norfolk s-e from Nor til Carolina, South Caro
lina, Alabama, Georgia, aad three regiments from Peters
burg, Va. Tne soldiers are well clothed in gray cloth
■aits. The Confederate Government could not supply
the men with shoes, and they were constantly writing
home for money, shoes, aad other comfort*, their pay
being too email to allow *bem to pry fit) a pair for feet
coverings. The newspapers are a gutug list the pay of
tbo c Hirers should be curtailed and that of the private*
advenecd. The ladies h td be*n getting up concerts urd
exhibitions to raise money for the relic! ot their soldiers,
but ibeir t Herts did not avail much.
The Southern soldiers aro good, plurky fellows, well
■rated, end cipital shots. Mr. Davis’shop was next
door to a shooting gallery, and he knew that most of -
them could ring the bell twice out of Arse timtf, while
aotn# would betoo doing It nineteen time* out of twenty. 9
