FORTRESS MoSRoE, May o.
Old Point this evening presents most
stirring spectacle. About n dozen steam
transports are loading troops. They will
land on the shore opposite the Rip RaPs,and
march directly on Norfolk. The transports
are gathering in the stream. They have ON
board artillery. cavalry and infantry. and will
soon be prepared to start. The Rip Raps
are pouring shot and she'll into Sewall's
Point, and a bright light In the direction OF
Norfolk leads to the superstition that tho
work of destruction has commenced. Presi-
dent Lincoln as COMMANDMENTS Chief Of the
Army and Navy, is experimenting the eIpe-
dition himself. About 9 o'clock he went
across to the place selected for the landing,
which il about mile below the Rip Raps.
Ii il raid he was the first 10 step on shore,
and after examining for himself the facilities
for landing, returned to the Point, where no
was received with enthusiastic cheering by
the troops who were embarking.

ed and OF before noon.
The President with Secretary Stanton ac-
companied Gen. Wool to the wharf, and then
took tug and proceeded to the Minnesota,
where the President was received with ma
tionsl salute.
Il is generally admitted that the President
and Secretary Stanton have Infused new vigoF
into both the naval and military operations
here. and that the country will have no canso
for further complaint.
Az to the insulting course Of the rebels in
this quarter the President has declared that
Norfolk must fall, that the Merrimac must
succomb to the naval power OF the Union.
and that the Government property ut Nor
folk must DO re.possessed ut whatever cost IL
may require. What Is more, he has deter
mined to remain until II Is accomplished.

were out of ammunition, and the rebels were
attacking them with desperation. The re.
port says:
"But now Brigadier Berry, of the stout

ing time into the field with tho star spangled
banner. A wild .hurrah :" went up from
the army, and with yell that was electric,
three regiments OF Berry's brigade went to
tho front, formed line nearly half mile
long, and commenced firing volley that no
troops on earth could stand before-then ut
the double-quick dashed at the rebel array,
and sent them flying from the field into their
earthworks, pursued them into the largest OF
them, and drove them out behind with the
pure steel. and then invited them to retake
It. The attempt was repeatedly made, and
repeatedly repulsed. The count Of the rebel
dead In that battery, at the close Of the fight,
was 63. They were principally Michigan
men who did this work.
The equilibrium Of the battle was restored.
Il was now o'clock, and Jamison and Bir-
ncy came up with their brigades, covered
with mud and steaming with the rain. but
eager for share In the blessed work. They
went to the front, and soon the tide Of the
fight turned backward. But Berrys timely
arrival, for which he 10 entitled to both graf
itude and honor, saved the day."
