We- are stationed at Cedar Grove, on Ferry Point,.and abpnt one mrlejfrom Norfolk; There is a-detatchmetit of our company, at Deep Creek, and pne at Great Bridge on the Chesapeake and Albemarle Cabal. Cedar Grove is ■ one of the most pleasant places to be‘ found within many miles; close to (fie Elizabeth river and- opposite the navy yard. • We are quartered in two good’ houses, and have good stables .for our horses., We havo a plenty of the very best fare issued td the soldiers, and so little duty to do, that we have’no cause to complain bf onr lot.'

We had some fine- sport, while the • company were enjoying a short halt, in the vicinity of the bridge. Several hives of bees,were fonnd in a yard, on, a plantation unoccupied, except by two negro servants, and one of the hives the boys resolved to take at ail hazards, bat it would not do to charge with drawn sabres. So stratagem -was resorted!to, and after a short search, artepeSOO feet in'length was found, which was-made fast at j one end to the hive, and with several, determined boys pulling at the other, the hive commenced_to move off, bat the bees were too good soldiers, to be captured so easily; and charging, drove? ; tho boys fora time from their perilous undertaking; but ral lying, the joys succeeded in drawing the hive some two hundred yards- from its associates,' -and applying some burning tow to the mouth of the hive quickly demoralized the bees, and allowed us to confiscate the honey, tvell satis fied with the sport.

The’.costom house which is now the center of biisihess, : is used by Gen. Yeile and Staff for offices, and the Provost Marshal’s office is crowded- during business hours, by citizens, applying for paper, permits to take sundry, ar ticles to thejr homes,ip the country, .ing fire-arms i taken fropi them by taking the oath of allegiance, by prisoners to bo examined or provided with safe quarters. and in faot, al most .everything passes 1 through the Provost Marshal’s hands. ■ Portsmouth is nearly, opposite Norfolk, be tween the south and west branches of the river; and though .smaller thin Norfolk, it is by far the most pleasant city. 1 The streets are regu lar like those of Philadelphia, and also wide and clean where they are paved. Gosport, or Newtown, is situated between Portsmouth and the navy yard, and consists offa small collec tion 1 of wooden buildings. The navy yard is mostly in ruins, yet it bears traces of its 4 former beauty. There is a strong Union feel ing. in this county, the Union Glob numbering about 1,000 members; several 'hundred offered their assistance to the Irailitary authorities .to protect the cities from being sacked t)j Long street’s arrby, .thus proving their loyalty by their deeds.. . The 10th of May was celebrated by the Un ionists, as a ;dsy to be associated with _tha 4th of July, beoaoßo it is the day and month of 1862 in which: the aothority of the Government and protectipn of the 014 flag was re-established in Norfolk, where, the proud old banner once waived nnassailed.
