BALTIMORE, April 2-The following inteli
gence is from the special correspondent at Fort
Monroe of the Bait more American:
The number of rebels in Fort Pulaski is re-
ported by deserters is 500. Two German com
panies there had revolted and were in irons
Sherman's mortars and seige guns were so
stationed that the guns of the fort could not reach
them.
The rebels have Withdrawn all their troops
from the coast and abandoned their earthworks,
previously removing their cannon to Savannah
The city of Savannah, however. is understood
TO be very strongly fortified, and all approaches
to it. The force there is variously estimated by
refugees at 20, 900 TO so 600; probably 1000 is
more nearly correct.
A great dependency existed among the troops
and people at Charleston. The fall of Newbern
created the greatest CONSERVATION.
The fire eaters ridicule the North Carolina
troops, charging them with cowardice.
The shopkeepers and bankers in Charleston
had refused TO receive North Carolina money.
and there being two North Carolina regiments
there at the time a revolt was the consequence,
and the shops were broken open and the troops
helped themselves.
These regiments refused to serve any longer
and were allowed TO return home.
No direct information OF the abandonment of
Pensacola has vet been received here. but u was
generally believed that our troops had crossed
over from Santa Rosa Island and occupied the
place.
The latest advices received from Norfolk by
the underground railroad leave no room to doubt
that the Merrimac was thoroughly repaired and
in commission and ready for another expedition
against the wooden walls of the Federal navy
and the river transports now lying in Hampton
Roads. 80

The commissioners appointed to examine into
the Western and Missouri Departments have
made yoluminous report in which they state
they examined 200 witnesses and had claims
presented to them amounting to eight million
dollars.
They have devoted the principal part Of their
report TO the exposure of the abuses which char
acterized the late administration of these Depart
ments, and testify to the integrity which general
~ has been displayed by merchants, mechanics
and manufacturers when permitted to deal direct
ly with the Government.
Wide spread as have been the decentralization
in official circles and among their dependents and
favortes, and st"rtling as have been the frauds
which have been attempted and consummated, a
large majority of the claims have presented
themselves before the commission unimpeached
by imputation either in their loyalty or honor.
