The supply of Wood — no chance for the speculators — the members of the conference Visiting the Navy-Yard — the weather. Norfolk Nov. 29, 1861. It has been supposed by many persons that in consequence of the high price and scarcity of coal, and the heartlessness of speculators, the price of fire-wood this winter would be exceedingly high — some thought it would sell at $8 to $12 per cord.

Avalanche: Col. R. F. Looney's command, consisting of 250 of his regiment; 200 of Col. Cook's, and 100 of Col. White's, left here on Tuesday afternoon on a scout through this and some of the adjoining counties, where it had been reported to Gen. Carroll that there were camps of Unionists. Col. Looney's command returned this evening, having captured about thirty prisoners, and breaking up sundry camps. We learn Col. L.'s regiment will leave here in a few days for Knoxville — leaving Col. Wood's Alabama regiment and Col. Cook's at this place, (Col. White's having already gone to Knoxville) The prompt and efficient means used by Gen. Carroll has, we think, effectually checked the ardor of those deluded Unionists, and hereafter there will be little trouble in this quarter from them. B. The Flight from Wild Cat. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Ranner, of the 26th ult., we extract the following: We are informed that a copy of the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 21st, whic
