Old Point boat from Fortress Monroe arrived last night. The Merrimac was confidently expected with seven other gun boats first favorable day.
Latest news by Yorktown everything progressing [satisfactorily]. Gentlemen who went with flag of truce Monday say the Merrimac was then lying off Craney Island. – No particular change in appearance of Merrimac. It was the impression there with the men with flag of truce that the rebel fleet there was on their way down to attack us.
