The Daily Dispatch: October 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 15 (search)
From Norfolk.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Oct. 18th, 1861. It is announced that a steamer will shortly go down from Norfolk to Old Point with persons desiring to go North. This will close up the flag of truce arrangements at this location. Those who intend to go are required to register their names at the Mayor's office; and suspicious persons who fail to do this, and remain here, will be arrested and confined in the public jail. There is much talk about a supposed intention of the Northern vandals to attempt an attack upon Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the Navy-Yard, from Hatteras, at which place, it is stated, a large Federal force has landed. I do not think there is any danger to be seriously apprehended from this newly-discovered plan of the enemy. A man who is supposed to entertain sentiments hostile to the South was arrested yesterday at the Navy-Yard. A review of the Light Artillery batteries near the city will take place to-morrow
