There is a Lull,

After storm comes calm, saith
the proycrb. Is not the converse of this
true also, and may We not confidently ex-
pect in a few days, TO hear Of the present
calm of some ten days being succeeded By
a terrible storm, which shall carry terror
and dismay to the rebels? Island No. 10
has had longer lease of rebel authority
than was at first supposed conld be allow
ed it. Something decisive will soon re-
lieve the present suspense in that quarter.
So far as the news Is allowed to be made
public, nothing has vet transpired at Sa-
yannah. New Orleans, Charleston, Mobile,
&C., &c, to break the rebel authority in
those cities, but soon, no doubt, it will be
laundering in these directions Gen
erals Grant and Buel are not idle, and We
have every reason to expect that they will
allow the rebel Generals within their de-
partments, or their own armies, but little
rest. General Mcclellan is no doubt
somewhere in Virginia, yet reviewing his
troops and preparing TO follow closely,
the retreating rebe. Some ardent friends
gave him until about this time to be in
Richmond. 1t is to be hoped that he will
give the rebels ne time to build fortidca-
tions, and will give them battle. The
cheapest way to blockade Norfolk barber
and prevent the Merrimac doing further
injuries would be to capture the city of
Norfolk. So also of Charleston. With
all the vigilance of our bIockaiing
squadron and the sanken stone vessels,
rebel vessels run the blockade. With
these cities in our possession, the public
mind would be greatly relieved.

No doubt all that transpires at Fortress
Monroe of an important character, is con-

is cut off, except an occasional row boat sup

summon the Fort TO surrender on April lst.

Immediately commence to shell it.
Ills mortars and seige guns were 50 stu
ated that the guns from the fort could not
reach them. The rebels had Withdrawn all
their troops from the COAST and abandoned
the earthworks. previously removing the can
non to savannah.
Their fort at Thunderbolt taken by the
Seminole, had mounted 10 large guns but
the cannon were all taken to Savannah,
which is strongly fortified as well as all the
approaches to it
The forces there are variously estimated at
from 10 900 to 30 900 There is the great
est dependency among the peoT le and troops
at Charleston. The fall of Newborn created
the greatest CONSERVATION.
Fire eaters ridiculed the North Carolina
troops, charging them with cowarlice.
Shop keepers and bakers refuse to receive
North Carolina money. and there being two
North Carolina regiments at the time, re-
volt was the consequence, and the shops were
broken open and the troops helped them
selves. these regiments refused to serve any
longer, and they were allowed to return
home.
There is no direct information of the
Abandonment of Pensacola, but it is gener
ally believed that our troops have crossed
from Santa Rosa Island and occupied the
place.
There is no doubt but the Merrimac is ful
ly repaired and IN commission, ready for an
other expedition. The delay in her coming
out is believed to be that she is waiting for
some ammunition for her heavy guns, and
for some internal machines, constructing by
Bombastcs Maury.
The steamers Yorktown aad JAMESTOWN
are also being strengthened and more thor
oughy clad with iron to accompany her. 1t
is rum1red that two steamers are being clad
with iron at Richmond to Join.
