--Intelligence from
Norfolk to Thursday last is received.
An order had been received from
Washington forbidding the departure of the flag of truce boat to
Suffolk, as ordered by
Gen. Barnes.
With this order came another for the execution of
Dr. Wright, who shot the
Yankee Lieutenant,
Sanborn.
The community was overwhelmed with grief at this unexpected and barbarous order.
The gallows was being prepared at the
Fair Grounds on Thursday.
Four companies of
Spears's cavalry are at Bermuda Mill, four miles below
Suffolk.
