process of obstructing the passes, in order to blockade the Federal vessels, had commenced on the 14th of April; on the 18th, the day of the attempt against Harper's Ferry, the railroad cars brought a number of Virginia militia to Norfolk, sent there for the express purpose of taking possession of the arsenal. Commodore McCauley, the Federal commandant, was surrounded by traitors, who were numerous both among the workmen of the arsenal and his own officers. The latter, who were mostly Virginians, assured him of their devotion to the Union, and, taking advantage of his weakness, persuaded him to suspend the execution of an order just received from Washington, in consequence of which the Merrimac, of more value to him than all the other vessels then at Norfolk, was getting ready to go to sea.

He was followed on the 12th and the 13th by General Floyd, at the head of a strong brigade of Virginians from Russellville and Cumberland City, whither those troops had retired and reorganized after their defeat in West Virginia a few months previously. The Confedfederates regarding the independence of States, Floyd requested and obtained permission from his late subordinate to take with him in his flight the regiment of Virginians he had brought with him from his native State. During this painful comedy the rumor of an impending capitulation spread like lightning among those soldiers whoAt this place the two lines are separated by a large stone wall. Each party is endeavoring to take possession of this sheltering parapet; but Garnett, with his Virginians, is the first to reach it. The Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania, led by the brave Colonel Murray, tries to take it from him, and rushes to the charge despite a terrif
