As chairman of that committee, I am a in my remarks by the appalling facts which mast each day reach the ears of your Excellency, as borne upon the wings of the telegraph or through the medium of the public prints; and yet, sir, startling and terrible as are each day’s official reports from Norfolk and Portsmouth of the p: 38 of the yellow fever in those cities, they fall far and fearfully short of the awful reality.

Recovery or Sroten Goops.—Officer Fan- ning, yesterday, searched the premises of Eliza Hexter for siolen goods, a portion of whieh was found. The magistrate, upon ex- amining into the circumstances attending this case, finding no evidence upon which to accuse her of the felony, dismissed her. Arrests.—Officer Norwood yesterday ar- rested the following named persons, who were disposed of by Justice Clark: Cassie Bowie, assault and battery, security for pezce; Jno. Wells, do., do.

The resolutions which we herewith present, will to some extent explain, what it i* we de- sire, and we submit them, in a just and abi- ding confidenee, that as a men, and as the Chief Magistrate of the country, in the welfare of every section whereof we believe you feel an interest, you wi'l suggest and aford that relief which must be immediate to be avail- ale.” To which the President responded in a brief but feeling manner. He expressed the mo ¢ heartfelt sympathy for the unfortunate saf- fevers in Norfolk and Portsmouth, stated that the sabject hat caused him mach anxious cor- sideration, and induccd him to shorten his visit to Virginia, «end hazten his retura to Washington, indulging the hope that some mode of relief might be afforded by the intor- vention of the Federal Government; and con- eluded by assuring the commitiee that he Would co-operate with them in any legitimate action that might be determincd upon.

The committee retired with an invitation from the President to call at 8 0’clock in the evening. The committee met the President at the time_appoint:d, and were to have a final audience this morning at 10 o’clock, when he would be able to decide upon something definite. The committce waited on the President this morning; for an account of which sce our Washington News columns. They then took their leave. impressed with the feet that the failure of their mission, so far as the obtaining of Old Point was concerned, was not owing to an ifdieposition on the part of the Prezident to do all that could be done by him to relieve the distresses of the citizens of Portsmouth. _ Previous to the committee leaving the Pres- idential Mansion, the President pla:cd in their hands the sum of $375, being a eceond contri- bution from himself and the members of his Cabinet for the relief of the sick and suffering ; and stated that bis private purse was open at all times for the relief of the distres ed. The President also assured the committec that the Washington Navy Yard would be thrown open to all the workmen who are now here from Norfolk and Portsmouth who are irous of ewployment—that is, in those de- —— of tne yerd where work can be nd forthem. There are about thirty here, who will be benefited by this order.
