From Fortress Monroe.

FORTRESS MONROE, April 2.--The weather to-
dav is clear and pleasant.
Everything is progressing in the most satisfac-
tory manner.
The rebels fired several shots from Sewalls
Point last night at the transports in the harbor,
some of the shots falling within nifty feet OF YES
sci loaded with horses.
A reconnaissance was made from Newport
News to Watts Creek, distance OF nine miles.
The enemy appeared, 1900 strong, and opened
on our forces but their balls passed entirely over
our men.
Our batteries were Immediately got in position,
and opened fire on the rebels, when their entire
force broke and fed, fording the creek in great
confusion, but keeping out Orange.
The object of the reconnaissance being accom-
plished, the troops returned.
The whole country through which our troops
passed formerly the garden spot of Virginia

was left standing.
The houses. fences and trees had been burned

that she will not come out again. She has now

over the Monitor, and if she should fail to come

a terrible rebel defeat Pea Ridge and admitted
that there was no use to attempt TO conceal the
fact.
A second reconnaissance was also made to Big
Bethel.
The enemy was found to have returned and
occuped the earth works in force.
On seeing our scouts they threw shells into the
woods occupied by our troops on the previous ad
vance, but they were unoccupied and no damage
was done.

appointment. We understand that Captain VI
Gooding. Of Company A, will likely get the APP
pointment. No better man, one better quail

portant position. Captain Gooding is peculiarly
fitted for the Office of Colonel, not only by his
military aptness aud quick perception. but BIZ his
GOODNESS, perfect self-possession and unquestion-
