Baltimore, April 2.
The following intelligence is from
the special correspondent at Fortress
Monroe, Of the Baltimore -4naerican.
The number Of rebels in Fort PuIas-
XII as reported by descrters, is five hun
dred. Two German companies there
had revolted and were in irons.
Sherman's mortars and siege 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The rebels have withdrawn all their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
then cannon to Savannah.
The city Of Savannah is understood
to be fortified, and all the approaches
to it. The force there is varlnuslv es-
timated, by refugees, to be from 20
900 to 10000 Probably 10000 is
more nearly correct.
A great dependency existed among
the troops and people at CharIeston.-
The fall of Newberno created the great
est constern 1tion. The tire-caters rid
iculed the North Carolina troops,
charging them with cowardice. The
Shop-keepers and bankcrs in Charles
had also refused to receive North
Carolina money, and there being two
North Carolina regiments there ut this
time, revolt was the consequence,
and the shops broken open aud the
troops helped themselves. These reg
imentS refused to serve any longer, AMI
were allowed to return home.
No direct information OF the aban-
donment Of Pensacola by the rebels
has yet been received. but it was gen
orally believed that our troops had
crossed over from Santa r >sa Island
and occupied the place.
