The Merrimac again Appears and
Captures 5 Small Vessels,

FORTRESS MONROE, April II. . p M
The return of pleasant weather to-day
brought out the ebel steamer NIerrimac ,
as was generally expected. The alarm
gun was fired at 20 minutes past Z o.
clock, and as soon as the appearance of
the Mcrrimac was generally known, the
docks, beach, ramparts of the Fortress
and other points were crowded with spec
tators. She was accompanied by six
other boats, including the jamestown
and Yorktown The jamestown cap
turcd two briggs and schooner which
were anchored near the shore about 2
miles from the Point. This was done
without the slightest difficulty, and the
assistance of the small tugs being rem
dered, the three prizes were taken off
under the rebel flag. The names of the
briggs captured are the Sabbao. of Prov
idence, Il. |. and the Marcus, of Stock
ton, Me. The name Of the schooner has
not been ascertained The reason why
our vessels did not engage the rebel
feet is, that the Merrimac, nor her con-
sorts of less draft of water, venturcd
down TO where the Monitor or any other
vessel of our squadron could manoeuvre
to assail her. The plan of the rebels
was to entlce our small craft into the
narrows of James river, and then force
them ashore by the aid of the Merrimac
and the guns OF Scwell's Point battery.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The Secre
tary of War has received the importan,
information that Huntsville, Alabama
was occupied yesterday by Gen. Mitch
ell, without much resistance. Two hun
dred prisoners were taken and fifteen 10.
comotives, and large amount of the
rolling stock of the Memphis and Char
lesion Railroad. This results in cutting
the great artery of railway communica,
ton between the Southern States.
LATER.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The follow.
ing important despatch was received by
the Secretary of War to-day.
NashriHe. Tenn. April 14.-On Sat
urday morning two expeditions were
started from Huntsville, Alabama, with
the captured cars, the one under Col
Sill, of the 33d Ohio, went East to Ste
yenson junction of the Chattanooga
Railroad with the Memphis and Char
lesion road, which point they seized, a
force of 1900 of the enemy retreating
without firing shot. Here they cap
turod five locomotives and large a.
mount of rolling stock. The other ex-
petition, under Col Turchin, of the
18th Illinois. went west, and arrived at
Decatur in time to save the railroad
bridge, which was in flames as they ap-
preached. Gen. Mitchell now holds
about one hundred miles of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad.
Huntsville is the metropolis of North
Alabama, and commands the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad. 1t contains a
population of 5000, and many splendid
buildings. Its possession by the Fede-
raj troops is of vital Importance.

CAIRO, April 12.-The flag officer
Commodore Footel left New Madrid to-
day, with the fotilla and mortar boats,
en- route for Fort Pillow, accompanied
by Gen. Pope's army. Fort Pillow is
the first rebel fertilization below New
Madrid, on the Mississippi. When that
and Fort Randolph shall fall, there will
be none remaining this side of Mem
phis, if not of New Orleans. 1t is, we
believe, about 60 miles above Mem phis.

NEGRO STAMPEDE.-On Saturday night
last, we had a real stampede of slaves in the

about one-half dozen were among the missing

that they have all taken trip across Mason

belonged to Mr.. James Percy, two to Mr..

male and female have been making their

but on this occasion they had heavier train
than usual. John, who has been employed
