The Norfolk day Book.

--Our readers are already aware that this paper has been suppressed by order of the Federal General commanding there. The tenor of the communication which excited his Ismay be judged from the closing paragraph, which we copy:

I am sure no high minded and honorable federal officer, who wishes to think well of his species, will derive any gratification from administering the oath of allegiance to any of our citizens, he must feel nothing but contempt or sympathy for these who take the oath, contempt for those who take it voluntarily, and sympathy for those who are forced to do so from inevitable necessity. He would greatly prefer conquering one brave man than to administer the oath to a thousand cowards.
