THE S1ERRIMAo AND MONITOR.

Fort MONROE, April 1.-The rebels state
only the last two shots of the Monitor serious
ly injured the Merrmac. These were thrown
under her shield at the moment she attempted
to run the Monitor down. No doubt the Mer.
rlmac is thoroughly repaired and in commits
sion, ready for another expedition. Her de.
lay in coming out is believed to be that she is
waiting for some ammunition for her heavy
guns, and some internal machines construct
ing by Bom6astes Maury.
The steamers Yorktown and jamestown are
also getting strengthened and more thoroughly
clad in iron, To accompany her. There is a
rumor that two steamers are being clad in iron
at Richmond, to join her.
As to the loss of life aboard the Merrimac
in her conflict with the Monitor, a recently
arrived contraband says he was nurse at the
general hospital at Norfolk, and had helped to
shroud thirty.two of her crew, and that both
Commodore Buchanan and Lieut.. Minor are
dead. There were still a number of wounded
surviving.
a tug came down james river, yesterday
afternoon, and at long range threw some shell
into Newport News camp. No damage was
done. The distance was so great that il was
useless for our guns to reply. A rumUr is cur.
rent that Yorktown has been abandoned by
the enemy, but it is not believed by the high
est authorities.
Notwithstanding the great delay in the ap-
pearance of the Merrimac, she is hourly ex-
pected. and the naval and military commanders
are prepared to receive her at any moment

Fort Pulaski Invested

FORTRESS MONROE, April 1.-The gunboat
Seminole has arrived, with Port Royal dates
to Saturday last. Fort Pulaski had been
thoroughly invested for thirty days, and was
momentarily expected to surrender 1t was
said that there were about five hundred rebels
in fort Pulaski, and they had offered to go, but
with the llonors of war; but Gen. Sherman
demanded an unconditional surrender, and
would, on the first of April, open on the fort
if they still refused.
The rebels have withdrawn all their forces
from the coast OF Georgia, and had abandoned
all the works ct Thunderbolt and taken all
their guna to Savannah. The Seminole land
ed force and destroyed Thunderbolt fort,
which is within five miles of Savannah, over
a good shell road.
Refugees from Savannah say that the friends
of the troops in the fort offered $50, 900 to any
one who would rescue them.
The number Of rebels at Fort Pulaski is re-
ported by deserters to be five hundred, and
two German companies. The latter had re-
VOTED and were in irons. All communication
with Savannah is cut off, except occasional
row boat is supposed to escape our pickets. 1t
was the intention of Gen. Sherman to summon
the fort to surrender, April 1st Ii the demand
is not acceded to, he would Immediately com.
mence to shell it. His mortars and siege guns
could not reach them.
The city of Savannah is understood to be
strongly fortified against all approaches. The
forces there are variously estimated by retu.
gees at from twenty to fifty thousand prOba-
bly, twenty thousand is more nearly correct.

NEWS FROM THE POTOMAC ARMY
VIA RICHMOND.

FORTRESS MONROE, April IA flag of truce
from Norfolk brought down letters from fed
eral prisoners, and dispatch from Gen. Huger
to Gen. Wool
The Norfolk papers notice military move
ments at Old Point. They say large rein
forcements are landing; and that at least a
hundred large steamers and transports are at
the wLarves and the channel.
The Richmond Dispatch of today says the
grand army of the federals seems to have
been transferred from the neighborhood of
Washington to the Peninsula, which, they
have probab y concluded, is the shortest and
an easier road to Richmond than that via Ma
nassas. which we have courteously placed at
their disposal.
The Dispatch says the roads here are as
bad as those on the Potomac, and refers to
General Magruder as a man not likely to be
caught mapping. There was rumor yester.
day that there had been severe fight on the
peninsula, probably caused by the fact that
there was a strong reconnaissance towards
Yorktown on Saturday

GEN. BANKS COMMAND.
HE IS DRIVING THE REBELS

WooDsrocK, VA, April q We have
driven the enemy to day, from Sirasburg TO
Woodstock, distance of twelve miles, and
then to Edinburg, seven miles beyond. He
| contested the march most of the way and at
a strong position at which he contemplated
| making stand, and also at Edinburg, quite a
sharp contest occurred He burned the bridges
in his flight, except that at Narrow Passage,
which we were enabled to reach in time to ex
tiDguish the flames.
We lost but one man, and had but one
wounded. The enemy suffered more, bot
can not state the extent. Col Ashby received
a shot through his cap, which he exhibited
with some satisfaction to the people of Wood
stock. Others suffered more severely. The
men behaved admirably. During the advance,
yesterday, our vanguard and skIrmishers
were frequently fired upon by the rear guard
of Jackson's retreatng force. We shelled
them through the town, and as often as they
appeared III range.
After passing the bridge over Stony Greek,
they set fire TO it, but our troops arrived in
time to save it. They also set fire to another
turnpike bridge, and to the railroad bridge. all
within two miles this side of Edinburg, and
our artillery endeavored, but unsuccessiully,
to prevent their destruction by pouring into
the enemy showers of shells.
Some of Ashby's scout made their appear
ance, this morning early, on the high wooded
ridge on the opposite side of Stony Creek, be.
yond Edin5urg. They were fired on by some
of the twenty ninth Pennsylvania, when Ash
by unmasked four guns and threw several
shells into the camp. He subsequently re-
treated under the fire of our guns. During
the day they frequently interfered with our
bridgebuiders by Smelling them at long range.
The foot of the bridge, however, has been
completed, and our skirmishers and some of
the Andrew slIarpshooters are now on the 9TH
Ell side beyond the town.
Second Lieutenant Daffand and two prvates
of Ashby's cavalry were captured yesterday
Daffand admitted that he was carrying dis
patches, but arrogantly refused to divulge the
contents or tell who they were from.
A late intercepted letter from a rebel line
officer speaks significantly OF the anticipated
opening of the rebellion in Maryland but this
is regarded as one of the means resorted to
by secession leaders to dupe their followers
into continued resistance.
The expensive railroad bridge at Edinburg
was burned by jackson yesterday. There is
only one locomotive at this end Of the Manas
sas road, and no cars. Ashby's artillery was
reinforced to day by two or more heavy guns,
with which he practiced on us at long range.
