The report originated from the fact that

Fort Monroe, March 10.
With the assistance of the steamer
Spaulding the Minnesota has been got Of
and she is now on her way here. She
has received numerous shots, but no seri-
Gus damage. The Congress is supposed
to have lost over 100 men, including but
one officer. The escaped crews Of the
Cumberland and the Congress- have ar
rived Lere. The Monitor has come up to
the expectations that were formed of her,
and has proved herself imPregnable to
heavy shot at close quarters. She behaved
remarkably well on her passage from New
York, and although the sea covered her
decks completely at times, her speed did
not seem to be at all diminished. 70 her
presence may be attributed the safety Of
the Minnesota and other vessels in port
and the inal disabling of the Merrin,ac,
which had previously been proof against
everything
Capt. Warden of the Monitor was
wounded in the head while he was in the
lookout of The wheel house. No other
accident of any kind occurred to the bat
terry or crew. We have no accurate list
Of the killed and wounded.

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
W. sMITHsoS.

We regret 70 have to state that II In understood
In ofacial circles that the arrest Of w. T. Smith
son, private banker Of this city, under which he
10 now either in Fort Lafayette or Fort Warren,
was made on what is regarded as ample positive
testimony that be had been for a considerable
time engaged In most iagranty reasonable CORES
pondence with the enemy to the end Of aiding and
abettine the latter's cause. We shall not be sur
prised to learn, therefore, that he is tried and
dealt with by military court, simply as spy, in
which capacity It is charged he acted.
FLAG FERMENTATION.
Colonel A. w. Clark, of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Yesterday presented beautiful stand
of colors to the Thirty-hfth regiment New York
State volunteers, formed principally In his dis
trict. They were manufactured by Tiffany q
Co., New York, and are among the finest In the
army. The response by Colonel Lord was pa
triotic and appropriate.
RooRBAcx.
IL Ia not true as the Boston Traveller alleges,
that the Comte de Paris and the Due de Charities,
the two French Orleans Princes, have resigned
their positions on Gen. McClellan's staff, and are
about to return TO Europe. They are simply alb
sent from their posts here ten days leave, with
the design Of visiting Niagara Falls.
NAVY YARD.
There has been no arrival from the hotilla since
the Anacestia came up Yesterday. That steamer
went down again yesterday afternoon, also the
Resolute, which has been thoroughly repaired.
The Pensacola will probably leave her anchor
age to-day, bound down, but her destination is
not known.
MRS GRRRNHOw.
The story alleging that Mrs. Greenhow who has
for some time past been in confinement here for
reasonable practices has been sent to Fort LafaY-
cite, is untrue. she has not been removed from
the house in this city, in which she 10 held to pre-
vent her from indulging In reasonable practices
THE SUMTER.
The Department of State has information that
the Sumter was in the harbor OF st. Pierre, Mar
Unique, on the 22d November last, and the U 8.
steamer Iroquois, that had followed her up, was
one league of the harbor waiting for her to come
out.
