We eopy from the Norfolk Herald the follow-
ing aaftitifl if the exciting events :
■ On Saturday and Sunday the greatest excite-
ment prevailed in the eity. Troops were hur-
raing to and fro and Mfery one anxious to
know what was to be done, bat unable to obtain
the denied information. The rumor was that
• the Cumberland was aboat to jwil from the
Navy Yard, and preparationsjrerc made to pre-
vent her. s , ,
At 12 o'elock an officer came from the yaw,
bearing a flag of truce, and was conducted; to
Geo. frliaferro's headquarters at Ae Atlantic
Hotel, where a consultation was held, which
resulted in a promise fh>m the oommWant of
the yard, Com Macauley. that noue of the
Tesaels should be removed nor a shot fired ex-
cept in self-defence. This quieted the excite-
ment, but it was renewed at a later hour, when
it was ascertained that the Germantown
and Merrimac had been ecuttlcd, and
tl «t the heavy shears on the whari at which
the Germantown was lying had been cut away,
and allowed to fall mid-ships across her decks,
carrying away the m#in topmasts and yards
It was abo perceived that the men were busily
engaged in destroying and throwing overboard
side and small arms, <&c , and other propertj,
and boats were constanly passing between
the Pennsylvania, Cumberland and other ves-
sels.
The assurance of the Comordore, given by
bis officers at the trucc interview, however, ten-
ded to allay the apprehension ot an immediate
collision. But the continued stirring move-
ments at the yard,soon rendered it certain that
it was the intention of Macauley to destroy all
the buildings and other property there—and
it was therefore with not much surprise that,
about midnight, after two or three slight ex-
plosion*, the light ot a serious conflagration
was observed at the yard. This continued to
increase, and before daylight the demon work
ot destruction was extended to the immense
ship houses known as A and 1?, (the former
oontaining the entire frame ot the New York,
74, which had been on the stocks, unfinished,
•forsome thirty-right years.) and also to the
long ranges of two story offices c.nd stores on
each side of the main gate of the yard. The
flames and heat from this tremendous mass of
burning material.was set,by a south-west wind,
directly toward the line of the vessels moored
on the edge of the channel opposite the yard,
and nearly a'l of these, too, were speedily en-
*v«loped in flames.
The scene at this firae was grand and ter-
rible beyond description. The roar of the con-
flagration was loud enough to be heard at three
or four miles distance, and to this were added
occasional discharges from the heavy guns of
the old Pennsylvania, ship-of-the-line, as they
became successively heated. These guns, it is
asserted,were double-shotted and directed at dif-
ferent parts of the yard for the purpose of en-
suring its complete demolishment. This, how-
ever, is certain—that if all her guns had been
thus prepared and directed, the burnt district
could not have been more completely cleared o1
its appurtenances
THE CUMBERLAND AND PAWNEE.
As soon as the torch had be°n successfully
applied to the ship-houses, the Pawuee, which
had been kept under steam from the moment
ot her arrival, about nightfall on Saturday, was
put In motion, and taking the Cumberland in
tow, retreated down the hasbor, out of the
roaeh of danger—freighted with a great portion
ot valuble munitions, &c., from the yard, and
the Commodore and other officers, who had won
for themselves the inglorious distinction of des-
troying devils iu accomplishing such a vandal
work. The slTips proceeded as far down as *he
barricades at the narrows, where the Cumber-
land was left at anchor, and the Pawnee con-
tinued on to Fort Monroe".

THE P&OPERTY DESTROYED.
As far as we could judge from a cursory ob-
servation, the property de troyed embraced,
besides the ship houses and c ntents, the range
of buildings on the north line of the yard,
(except the Commodore's and Comm iuder's
residences, which are unhurt,) the old marine
t irraoks and one or two work shops, the
i nmense lifting shears, the ships Pennsylvania,
Merrimac, Karitan, Columbia, and brig Dol-
phin, burnt to the water's edge j the sloop
i iermantown, broken aud sunk ; and a vast
amount of small arms, chronometers, and val-
uable engines and machinery in the Ordnance
and other shops, broken up and rendered utter-
ly useless.
THE DRY DOCK.
Appearances indicated that it was intended
to cripple this admirable and useful work, hy
'-lowing up the gates, but from some cause
t his work was not done, and the dock was found
to be altogether unhurt.
We can not. bring ourselves to believed that
any officer of a Navy, distinguished hitherto
by a sense of honor and chivalry courage, could
willingly condescend to such an inglo-ious
mode of warfare as this. Wo rather regard it
as an emanation from the wretched cabal at
Washington, and a practical canying out of
tactics laid down by the villainous Sumner,
and other orators of the Black Republican
party. Burn, sink and destroy is the word with
them.
Correspondence of the Delta.
Portsmouth, April 22, 1861.—The past two
days with us contain events of wondrous inter-
est Saturday our troops were under arms all
the day—our community was all excitement.
Kumors from the Navy Yard came thick and
fast.. About one o'clock, or before, it was as-
c rtained that the fine war steamer Merrimac
was scuttled, the Germantown was crushed by
the ponderous shears, and the small arms on
. bond the ships were being broken in picces
bitd thrown overboard. It was evident there
was a panic among the remaining officers of the
yard and. of the ships. Tbey were regarded as
tokens of a felt necessity to surrender upon de-
mand. Thus events were strangely thickening,
whan about nine o'clock a loud shout from a
steamer as she passed our wharves, up to the
j*jdj broke on our ears, surprising and sad-
our hearts. It proved to be the steam-
er Pawnee, whioh had brought from Washing-
ton a large reinforcement ot troops for Old
Point, oha was said to have on board near
500. As she fastened to the wharf out poured
be^troopa. In a 'few momonts the sound of
scores of sledge hammers broke on our ears,
aaMhaysbiked the cannon, battered them and
sH—Hiied to render them useless. ' It was evi-
dettt a thorough destruction wis Wended —
Soon powder trains were laid all over the yard,
and by cm o'clock the barracks was on fire.—

VIRGINIA.
The following intelligence from Norfolk
and Portsmouth, we Sod iu the Richmond Dis-
patch of the 20th ult:
Preparations were coiiinionced on Wednes-
day for raisin;; the s'.oop-ofwar Plymouth,
which was scuttled and sunk at tlie wharf near
the Dry Dock. It w 11 ta'-:e but a short time
to get her up and pump :d out, when sho will
be placed in the dock for repairing damages.
The Plymouth is a Sine ship, of handsome mod-
el, pierccd for twenty two guns, aud has been
but recently thoroughly overhauled. She
could be put in comurs.ion in a very short
time, if necessary.
The Herald says : ''In consequence of ru-
mors, prevalent in the city, that several of the
officers stationed at Fort Monroe, nativ. s ot
Virginia, are detained at that post contrary to
their wishes, and under forcible restraiut, a
delegation of our citizens, accompanied by the
Mayor, went down on Tuesday afternoon, un-
der a flag of truce, to inquire into the matter.
Their mission, we are lnfjrinad, resulted in be
ing assured that such is not the fact, but that
every officer 13 in the enjoyment ot as unre
strained freedom of action as the requirements
of the service will allow.
Operations at the Navy Yard have recom-
menced. Laborers nre engaged in clearing
away the-ruins ; workmen employed in several
of the shops finishing up work previously com-
menced ; the clinck of hammers, and buzz of
machinery heard in all parts of the yard, and
boats rowed by jolly j ck tars plying baok and
forth as formerly.
Ten thousand dollars have been appropria-
ted by the Councils of Norfolk for the relief of
poor and necesst>ous persons and families in
the city. A schooner from Cardenas, with a
cargo consisting principally of molasses, con-
signed to Norfolk while under the tow of the
steam tog Yankee Blade,Cspt. Baker,was sum-
marily brought to by shots from Fort Monroe,
and both the schooner and tug are still detain-
ed.
. Portsmouth, April 24,1861.
We have been busily engaged since Sunday
morning, preparing batteries at the Hospital
and Craney Island. The former is nearly
completed. Several Dahlgren guns are already
mounted. The old ship United States was
towed down to the buoy of the mouth of the
Western Branch, but had been brought back
for the purpose, as 1 learn, of putting guns on
board of her. Everything is moving forward
with celerity, and very soon our state of de
fence will be <fuite complete. Now we have no
fears Of a successful attack—indeed, it may be
well supposed that, for the present, nothing of
the kind is designed.
