From Fortress Monroe.

FORTRESS MONROE, August G.
The 5000 rebel prisoners from Fort Warren
and Fort Delaware, went up the river from
Harrison's Landing night before last A flag
of truce boat accompanied them, which re-
turned last evening, and reports that the
change is being made satisfactorily, and that
the same number of Union prisoners from
Richmond may be expected down the river to-
day or tomorrow, and that the requirements of
the federal government in regard to the ex-
change, has been strictly complied with. which
is understood to mean the release of Colonel
Corcoran and other Union officers
The reconnaissance of Monday night has re-
suited very favorably. Our troops drove in
the rebel pickets early yesterday morning, and
the fight Immediately commenced, which last
ed between and hours, and resulted in the
federals taking possession of Malvern Hill,
which they now occupy with sufficient force to
hold, and carry on otner plans which are in
connection with this very important move
The public no doubt will be fully satisfied
with the activity of the army of the Potomac
for few days TO come.
The fighting and capture of Malvern Hill
was done by artillery, and our loss was small,
only 20 killed and wounded. The rebel loss is
much greater; 100 cavalry men, horses and
eqnipage complete were captured, and one
small battery.
We may expect this move to be followed up
with the greatest activity, as it is considered a
move of much Importance.
Col Gamble of the 9Th Illinois, is among the
wounded. Other names of killed and wound
ed we have not yet been able TO obtain.
The mail steamers to Harrson's Landing
are conveyed by gunboats.
A list of the sick and wounded NAV be ex-
pected tomorrow from the returned Richmond
prisoners.
From the Army of the Potomac.
HEAD QUARTERS, ARMY Potomac,
August 6, 1862.
Three thousand exchanged prisoners arriv-
ed here yesterday afternoon from Richmond.
Those belonging to this army and fit to do du-
ty, were sent to their regiments and the rest
leave for the North to-day. No officers are
among them.
There is no truth in the report that this ar
my is used to protec. rebel property, as re-
ported in the case of Hill. During the two
days battle Of Malvern Hill, from 500 to 1000
wounded Union men had wounds dressed at
this house, the ladies freely tearing up their
sheets and pillow cases for bandages While
the army was passing guard was posted to
protect the women and children. The horses
and cattle are grazed on his farm and his ne
groes are working upon our Notifications. All
applications for the return of these slaves
have been refused.
