The city of Norfolk was formally surrendered by Mayor Lamb to Gen. Wool Saturday evening about dark, the latter immediately returning to Fortress Monroe. Several large war vessels came up to Norfolk Saturday night, among the number the Minnesota, and anchored in the stream fronting the city. These vessels were piloted to Norfolk through the narrow passage in Elizabeth river by the traitor Tobias, who ran off to Old Point Thursday, while in discharge of important duties entrusted to him by the Confederate authorities.

One citizen, named Kayton, a dealer in musical instruments, was so loud and out spoken in his laudations of our own and denunciations of the Lincoln Government, that the military commandant of Norfolk has caused him to be arrested. This is the only arrest that has come to our informant's knowledge. Portsmouth was surrendered by Mayor Nash about the same hour Saturday evening as Norfolk. A Federal General named Wyman, having been appointed Military Governor of the place, received the surrender, embracing the occasion to assure the people that the Yankees came not to destroy property, but to restore order; to relieve an oppressed people, and refasten that g-a-l-o-r-i- o-u sold flag which had been so long concealed from the view of the dear Portsmouth people.

The Federal soldiers all expressed the most profound amusement at the destruction of the Merrimac. They said she had made them feel more uneasy than any other event of the war, and the opinion at Old Point was general that she was the most formidable war vessel ever constructed.
