Spies in prison at Fort Norfolk

Two rebel soldiers recently made their way into Norfolk, and, after taking copious notes of military and naval affairs in and about the ancient borough, attempted to return to Richmond, but were captured. They are now prisoners in Fort Norfolk, and, it is expected, will soon be tried by court-martial as spies. Nathaniel Wilkinson and Wm. T. Buckers are their names.
