FoRrREss MONROE. May 1l.-At 4
o'clock this morning bright light WAS
observed from Fortress Monroe, in the
direction of Crsney Island. Precisely at
hall. past four an explosion took place,
! which made the earth and water tremble
for miles around. In the midst of the
bright flame, which shot up in the dis
tance, the timbers and iron of steamer
could be seen flying through the air. No
doubt was entertained that the Merrim &C
bad ceased to exist. Flag officer Colds
boro. on receiving this report, ordered
two armed naval tugs, the Zouave and
the Dragon, TO proceed toward Craney
Island on Reconnaissance. and ascertain
the truth of the rnmor. Imme diately af

at fell speed, and when nearing the wharf
the radiant countenance of Capt. Case, of
the Minnesota, gave assurance that the
news they brodght wa, of most crafty
ing character. The report was true that
all the earth works at Crapey Island ap-
peared to be abandoned, though the rebel
flag was still flying Lieut. Eldridge,
from the Dragon, landed with an armed
crew, took down the rebel flag, and hoist
ed the Stars aad Stripes, amid cheering
by the crew.
Capt Case Immediately reported the
fact to the President and Secretary OF
War, who received the confirmation of
the picket boats with great satisfaction,
at the request Of the President Captain
Case Immediately proceeded to Craney
Island 30 ascertain if the works were
evacuated, in company with the feet.
which was then advancing As we neareG
Craney Island, we found this immense
fortress apparently abandoned. though
three rebel flags were floating from very
tall stats in different parts of the works,
Captain Case was the first loyal man that
pressed his foot on the soil of this trea-
sonable stronghold, and the old flag was
soon given to the breeze The forts on
the island are in four or five separate sec
tions. They are constructed with the
best engineering skill and most admirable
workmanship. The forts were left in ex-
celIent condition as were also the cyten
sive barracks, which had accommodated
during the winter garrison OF over 1000
men. Forty guns were mounted in differ
ent parts of the works. On the main
part of the island the works commanded
the approaches to the channel of the river,
The whole number of guns mounted was
SO, of which 2 were Parrots and num-
Der of Dahlgrens. There were about 6
guns ia the works, which had not been
mounted. After spending an hour on the
island. we proceeded to Norfolk.

Mutilation of Treasury Notes

Eyidence has been received at the
Treasury Department that the work of
mutilating Treasury Notes has become
quite business, aud not an Improbable
one. For instance, the muiilator takes
enc $40 note, and tears of tenth part
tof one corner, and passes off the note for
ten dollars-no one questioning that it
is perfectly good He takes another note
OF the same denomination, and tears off
teush part of another corner, aud so on,
until he secures the four corners. From
six other notes he tears six pieces from
the right and left sides aud centers. Then
he has ten parts of what appears to be a
Ten dollar Treasury Note, which LIE pastes
together, and passes off under the plea
that it has been accidentally torn in pieces.
This business has become so extensive
that the Government has decided, as the
only effective away of checking the evil,
not to redeem any note at par unless it is
whole; and to deduct one dollar for every
tenth part of note torn of

TAXATION,

Mn. EDrroR:-The question of taxation is
an Interesting one in Ohio and likely SO to
continue. Formerly our County taxes were
higher than in Belmont, and this made people
prefer Belmont to Monroe. The thing is ex
sctly the other way now, pay taxes in both
counties. And I have to pay higher in Bel
mont on the same valuation, than l do in
Monroe. Yet the Southern line of Belmont
is moro than twenty miles from 81. Clairsville,
and in some places less than ten miles from
Woodsield. The south west corner of Bel
mont is more than twenty-six miles from St.
Clairsville and but little, if any, more than
ten miles from Woodsfeld. These people
have to go much further and fare much worse.
They pay double for worse accommodations.
The reason of the heavy taxation in Bel
mont, in addition to the county expenses, Is
tile railroad debt, they have to make up the
interest every year.
