threw bouquets in showers over the heads of the people. 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 couhat 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.

sted that his body might be interred at Norfolk, by the side of a dear and gallant young companion in arms, A. S. Keiser, who had died some days previous. From Gen. Dix Mrs. T. --obtained a promise that this request should be complied with, on condition that she "would answer for the expenses." On Saturday, accordingly, the following telegraphic dispatch was received: "Mr. J. G. D.--Dear Sir: C. H. Dougherty is dead. If his remains are sent to Norfolk, will the expenses be defrayed? Surgeon Brownson." The answer immediately returned was. "Send the body by the early boat. I will defray all expenses." Accordingly, at 11 o'clock, the gentleman repaired to the boat, and, in answer to his inquiry, the Captain replied very gruffly that he "knew nothing about any dead Confederates. " A second dispatch was then sent, and yet a third--no answer being returned. A note was then received by Mr. G., from the Provost Marshal, which ran thus: "Sir — If the body of C. H.

remains to the grave." "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

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 gentleman demanded from all who were capable of appreciating such, whether in friend or foe. Fortunate would it be for the citizens of Norfolk did the present Provost Marshal resemble his predec<

aces. By order of Gen Vicle, guards have been placed at the doors of the hotels and at the corners of the streets, and citizens are forbidden to assemble on the streets in groups of more than three. Houses have been searched 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.

Dougherty is forwarded to Norfolk, and here buried, you will please take no ice that no one shall attend the funeral but the relatives of deceased. I shall be present with a body guard, and will have all other persons arrested; and shall also bold you responsible for any demonstration, of whatever character.--Let me know where and at what hour the funeral will take place. C. Liebenau, Provost Marshal." This note Mr. G. at once took to Mrs. T., who, with another lady, forthwith proceeded to General Vicle's residence. Here the guard refused them admittance, but finally allowed them to send a message to the General, who, though at dinner, consented to see them. He received them very politely, and Mrs. T., rising, said in a very excited and indignant manner, "General, is this note written by your order? If so, arrest me, as I alone am responsible in this affai

tly, but which all loyal people here regret exceedingly.--The Secessionists of Norfolk, who, beyond all question, have been every day becoming more rampant and defiant during the last two or three months, had a grand opportunity yesterday of exhibiting the intensity of their feelings and open sympathy for our enemies. "It was on the occasion of the burial of a private named Dougherty, of the Third Alabama Regiment. The funeral ceremony took place at the church of St. Paul's, where Rev. O. Keerson officiated amid a great crowd, chiefly of women. The body was afterwards conducted to the cemetery, attended by a large concourse of people. It is stated.--I know not how truly — that a prominent rebel citizen having seen Gen. Vicle on the subject previously, the latter consented, provided no more than fifty were present, but, instead of fifty, a large concourse of people were collected from the towns of Norfolk and Suffolk, and numbering at the least estimate between five and six hun

stration of the present state of affairs in Norfolk, we will give some account of the funeral of a Confederate soldier — C. H. Dougherty, son of the Hon. L. Dougherty, of Tuscagee, Ala.--which took place on Sunday, 17th of August. On his death bed, at Fortress Monroe, he was visited by Mrs. T.-- a lady of Norfolk, and of her he requested that his body might be interred at Norfolk, by the side of a dear and gallant young companion in arms, A.
