FORTRESS MONROE, May 27 – The Norfolk Day Book which was allowed to continue its issue after the occupation of Norfolk, on condition that it should be respectful in its tone was today suppressed on consequence of a communication in yesterday’s paper signed Inquirer, which in severe language, assails those Union citizens who have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. A meeting was held last night and the course of the paper was discussed, and a Committee having waited upon General Viele and stated their request that the paper should be stopped, he acquiesced and the order was issued this morning.
