Fortress Monroe, April 14. – The Merrimac remained in the same position all day yesterday until evening, when together with the rest of the rebel fleet, she returned to Norfolk. She is generally supposed to have been altered. – None of the rebel fleet have shown themselves to-day.
Several Captains of vessels in port testify in relation to three vessels captured by the rebel steamer Jamestown that they were ordered to move either outside of Fortress Monroe or inside of Hampton Bar. As the position of the vessels in question was inside the bar, the blame, if any one is accountable for their capture, should rest upon the Harbor Master, rather than on the captured vessels.
Mr. Twigg, a correspondent of the New York World, was arrested here this morning on a charge of having prepared matter for publication of a contraband character.
A Norfolk paper has been received here containing a dispatch from Beauregard in relation to the second day’s fighting at Pittsburg Landing. He claims a complete victory. He says that after capturing 36 of our guns and 8,000 prisoners, his force fell back upon his works at Corinth, which they are fully able to hold.
