Faulkner, istely released from a Federal prison, had arrived at Norfolk, under flag of truce, and would come on by the evening train. Our citizens accordingly determined to give him a suitable reception, and the proposition was cordially approved by the State and municipal authorities. When the train arrived at the depot, about 6 o'clock, a large number of citizens, with Gov. Letcher and Mayor Mayo, were present to greet Mr. Faulkner on his return, and the Armory Band saluted him with one of our national airs.

He had no apprehensions that the proposed exchange of prisoners would be refused. The Government could well afford to give up half a dozen Elys for such a trade as this.

e newspapers that the Europa has arrived, and the messenger is probably now in this country, and the result must be a restoration of Mason and Sildell, or the Federal Government will be involved in inestimable war with England. [Cheers.]--Never was government in a more critical condition. If the demands of England are compiled with, and our Ministers are surrendered, there is a fanatical spirit at the North which will crush the Government; and if otherwise, then they must have war with Great Britain.

He was then placed in a military prison and kept there for a period of thirty days, after which he was transferred to Fort Lafayette, and then to Fort Warren. Thus his fellow-citizens would perceive that he had some experience in prison life, and an opportunity of studying fortifications. But he was not yet a free man. It devolved upon the Confederate Government to say whether he should be, or not, [Voices — You shall be] Whether he should be compelled to go back to imprisonment or whether he should go free, and dedicate himself to the cause of liberty — or, as Mr. Seward expressed to the cause of "treason."
