for concealed arms and Confederate flags. Yet on the whole, under the administration of Gen. Vicle the Yankee rule is much milder than it might be. Gen. V.'s policy is rather conciliatory than otherwise — decidedly more so than that of the present Provost Marshal, Capt. Leibenan, whose harsh measures and uncourteous manner (especially to the ladies) render him very unpopular. The people have lost much in the resignation of Col Christensen, the former Provost Marshal, now promoted to Gen. Wool's staff. Col Christensen was a thorough gentleman — kind hearted, humane, and invariably polished and courteous in his manner alike to high and low. Under his administration justice was impartially dispensed, and his sympathies and kind services were easily enlisted in behalf of the distressed. The writer of this article knew him well, and though standing politically opposed as an enemy, could not but accord him the esteem and regard which his qualities as an honorable and kind hearted g

And if this note was written with your knowledge or consent, I shall not allow the body to be removed from the boat, but in explanation will cause the note to be read in the church." The General read the note, and remarked that it had been written without his knowledge, but that he had lately received a very insulting note from Washington, blaming him for allowing such large processions at the burial of Confederate soldiers. He then inquired into the particulars or young Dougherty's death, and asked how many persons Mrs. T. thought would attend the funeral? She replied, "About three thousand." "Are these processions got up in defiance of the Federal Government? or would the number have been equally large had the young man died while the city was in possession of Confederate troops" She replied, "In the latter case it wou

That such displays, no matter how good or humane the intent, have the effect of encouraging disloyalty and crushing out entirely whatever Union feeling is existing, no man in his senses can doubt, and I am informed by parties well acquainted with Norfolk, and on whose word I can rely, that in that large crowd there were many Unionists drawn there because on such an occasion to have remained away would have made them marked men, perhaps doomed ones, in the event of the rebels ever returning. Such latitude may be all very right in the eyes of what some people call conservatism, but conservatives among us would do well to put this question to themselves: Had a Union private died in Richmond would the authorities there have permitted the Unionists of that city to make any such display at his grave. If not, why this differ

Now, anywhere else, and under any other circumstances, God forbid that I should utter one word against this feeling of respect shown to the dead; but when we consider the position in which Norfolk stands toward the Union at this moment, and the utter contempt they have shown toward Unionist and the Administration of the United States, it does seem to me — and it will be odd it the public do not think so, too — that the ends of humanly could have been obtained with much lest ostentation and open in suit to the duty constituted authorities.

He died resigned and happy, with many tender messages for his mother and absent friends, and a wish only that he might be permitted to live to fight to the end in his country's cause. His friend and comrade, young Dougherty, was the next victim. These two sleep side by side. Next them is the grave of a young man of Alabama, named Coachman.--In one of the battles before Richmond, after fighting long and gallantly, he was finally shot down, and being taken prisoner, conveyed to Fortress Monroe. Here amputation of an arm was found necessary. His sufferings were borne with a heroic patience and fortitude which won even the admiration of his enemies. A lady, seated beside his bed, remarked.

"In that case," replied the General, "I see no harm in permitting the funeral procession; and death, whether of friend or foe, is too sacred a subject for quarrelling or contention." He there upon wrote to the Provost Marshal, countermanding the order of the latter, and remarked that he would insist upon one condition only, which was, that no Confederate flag should be used upon the occasion. The funeral accordingly took place from St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church. Mr. Okeson, the pastor, read the service in a very impressive manner, tears being in the eyes of many, even of the male portion of the congregation. The crowd was so dense within the church that it was almost impossible to breathe; and without the pave and street were crowded. The coffin was placed in front of the pulpit, and covered with flowers — small Confederate flags being also quietly deposited within it before it was finally closed. The procession of men, women and children who followed the
