OPERATIONS AT YORKTOWN.
Rebel News, &c.
| FORTRESS MONROE, April l6-Calm weather
at present here. 1t has been most propitious
for the re appearance of the Merrimac, but az
she does not come, it is concluded she was most
| likely injured by getting aground when last
out.
A flag Of truce was sent this morning to de-
liver letters and dispatches, but no news trans.
pired. 1t was impossible to obtain even a
glimpse Of the papers received at head quarters.

Day Book we're received here last evening.
The Dispatch contains a telegram from Beau.

was strongly entrenched and prepared to defy
tho Federals in whatever numbers they might
attack him. He claims the battle of Pittsburgh
Landing As most important rebel victory. He
says we captured six thousand Federal prison.
ers, and thirty-sx cannon.
The Dispatch, commenting on the above,
thinks that the total rout of Generals Buel aud
Graut is certain. No mention is made of Beau.
regards being wounded
| The Dispatch says in reference to affairs in
| the Peninsula that no anxiety should be felt az
| to the result of the coming battle. The Yankees
are to be driven to the Fort and thoroughly
vanquished by the forces under Generals Lee,
johnson and Msgrudcr.
The Richmond Dispatch has some comments
on the Asrrimac, which it says spent two days
in Hampton Roads, bantering the Monitor and
| Yankee feet to come up from the security Of
the batteries.
The rebels claim the Merrimac as the master
Of Hampton Roads.
| The exploit ofthe jamestown in sinking three
of the Federal vessels, is regarded ~ showing
| the terror with which the Yankees view the Mer.
rimac.
The Dispatch says, considering it not worth
! while to waste any more coal to entice the Mon
itor into conflict, the Merrimso returned to her
anchorage.
The belief 10 very general here that the Ner-
rimac received some injury during her recent
raid, which compelled her to 60 back to Norfolk.
| She vas undoubtedly aground all the second
day, and INDY be the heavy weight Of her srms
ment caused her to spring leak. She Is, how.
ever, back at the Norfolk Navy Yard, and there

al boys called upon our citizens for small con.
tributions for organizing and uniforming com.
psny. They met with fair success, but from
some cause the project fell through and the
company was not organized. Day before yes
terday they restored the money contributed by
each individual. This is decidedly creditable to
the boys, and is an example of honesty and
good faith that should not be lost upon older

York River about two miles from Yorktown and
within sight of our gunboats, but their guns
were of too long range TO allow Of the approach
of the gunboats to shell the works. About one

Yesterday morning, however, the gunboat
Seebago arrived, having hundred FOUNDER

with shell, which were so well aimed that they
could be seen falling in their midst and e1plo-

are spreading terror among the gunners of the
enemy by their unerring aims The enemy have
made several sorties with infantry to dislodge or
capture our rifemen, but have been driven back
with heavy loss.
As to the arrangements for the FINAL siege, we
need only say, the work goes bravely on.

1t is barely possible there may be some COM
plant about the gunboats killing our own men
in the cannonade on Sunday night. 1t is true, I
believe, that they did. An officer of one OF
them informs me that he estimates the number
thus killed at twenty; but it was better to lose
those twenty than to lose the cannonade. Firing
in the dark, and in the general confusion Of
our lines, and the advance and change of posi-
tons during the night it is only wonderful tina,
they did not do more of this unavoidable dam.
