FoRTREss MoNRoE, April II, p. M.-The re-
turn OF pleasant weather to-day brought the
Merrimac as was anticipated. She bad been seen
three days ago under steam at Craney Island, and
a. the evening Of yesterday promised that the
storm had exhausted itself, few we're surprised
this morning at the announcement that she was in
sight coming down.
The alarm gun was fired at ~ minutes past
o'clock, and as soon as the appearance Of the
Merrimae was generally known the docks. beach
and ramparts Of the Fortress and other points
commanding view we're crowded with specta-
tors
The Merrimac after showing herself beyond
Sewalls Point appeared to be leading this way.
She did not long continue on this course, how
ever. but turned towards James river, followed
By six gunboats which had come round the point
In Der company. OF the latter the jamestown
and Yorktown were recognized. The others

sunday Night Dispatches


WASHINGTON, Apr. ia dispatch to the
Secretary Of War from Gen. Wool, dated Fort
ress Monroe, April IL. says
The Merrimac has been stationary near Sew
alPs Point all day, but in plain sight.
The following dispatch was received by the
Secretary of War, dated Headquarters Sd Divi-
sion, Huntsville Alabama, April 11th:
After forced march Of incredible difficulty,
leaving Fayetteville yesterday, my advance guard
entered Huntsville this morning. The city was
completely taken by surprise, no one considering
the march practicable
We captrred 300 prisoners, fifteen Locomotives
and large number of cars, the telegraph appa-
ratus and two Southern mails.
We have at last succeeded in cutting the great
artery of railway communication between the
Southern States o NJ. MITCHELL.

were supposed to be the Raleigh and Treasurer.
Arriving at point midway between SewalIs
Point and Newport News Point and near the
place where the French war vessels Gassentie and
Castinet and the English steamer Rinado had
placed themselves early in the morning, the whole
feet came TO a stop, while the jamestown, fol-
lowed at some distance by the yorktown and a
small tug, continued on her course.
The intention of the jamestown was not at
first perceived. As she came round, leaving New
port News on the LETT ii was seen that her OBJ
feet was to capture two briggs and schooner
which were anchored near the shore about two
miles from the Point.
This was done without the slightest difficulty.
and with the assistance of the small tug the three
prizes we're taken off under the rebel flag.
The whole affair was concluded in less than half
an hour. and the jamestown having regained the
feet was ordered to tow the prizes to Craney
Island. Taking one brig in tow astern and one
on each side she moved slowly away.
Slightly alarmed at this bold dash quite num-
Der of schooners in the upper harbor avaied
themselves of a favorable wind and sailed
Up TO this time the rebel fleet has remained in
the position in which they first placed themselves
and nothing more has been DONE
The tide is now out, and probably no new
movement will be made for some hours. If the
Merrimac should see fit to pay us visit. she will
be appropriately welcomed.
The names of the two briggs captured are the
Sabas, of Providence, Rhode Island, and the
Marcus of Stockton. The former was loaded
with hay on private account, and the latter was
chartered by the government, but had been I'M
loaded. The name of the schooner has not been
ascertained
The captains of the two brigs escaped ashore
in a small boat, with four of the crew of the
Marcus. Two men were left on board the Mar
Gus, and six on board the Sabas. They made no
efforts to lower boat to escape. They were all
taken prisoners, together with the crew of the
schooner.
II is said that the captured vessels we're order
ed last night to move down the harbor for safety.
The schooner Harmony, used a water boat
by Mr.. Moves, Government contractor for sup
plying water TO the feet, happened to be along
side of the French man-of-war when the Merri-
mac made her appearance, and was taken under
protection of the French tag, thus escaping cap
ture.
Mr.. Noyes has previously lost by capture two
schooners employed as water boats by him.
LATER.
The jamestown returned from Craney Island
at three O'Clock. Not shot was fred until four
o'clock, when the Merrimac fired three shots in
the direction of Hampton Creek. The Manga
tuck and Octoroon which had been stationed in
that vicinity replied with a number of shots. all
of which fell near the rebel feet. The whole
rebel feet. led by the Merrimac, then returned to
the Elizabeth River
The name of the schooner captured is the
Emily. She was from " ashinston, with suffers
stores.
A passenger steamboat, filed with spectators,
came out of Elizabeth river this afternoon. A
number uf small sail-boats could be seen through
the day off Sewell's Point

The market opened on Monday with consider
able sales at rates nearly equal to those obtained
last week, the presence of buyers on account of
Government having some effect to stimulate the
activity of dealers.
On Tuesday it was found that there would be
an abundance of stock to satisfy all classes Of
buyers; and prices were less firm, indeed most of
the sales were made at slight decline.
To day the cattle sold we'll, the market was
cleared of stock at noon, and prices were very
firm at the close, averaging 25@3l1ac per cwt
lower than the quotations OF last week.
More than half the offerings this week were
from Illinois, and we're generally of medium or
inferior quality; there were few fine droves,
which sold early, and were taken in part by Gov
ernment. e
The beginning of shad season and the abund-
ance and cheapness of eggs and veal have their
influence upon the beef market.
There is an effort making to commence the
regular market sales on Mondays, and it is pro-
posed to inaugurate the change formally on Mon
day, the 2lst inst.

the Merrmae aground near Sewalfs Point.
This is only surmise. The other rebel vessels
are moving about. -
AT FIVE o'clock in the afternoon the Merimac's
position was unchanged, and from the tide being
low and tugs about her. it looks pretty certain
that she is aground.
