WASHINGTON, April 13.– The last dispatch was received from Gen. Wool at 9 p. m., to Secretary Stanton:
“The Merrimac has not made her appearance to-day. I think her object is to prevent interference with the reinforcements from Norfolk to Yorktown.
Deserters from the rebel camp yesterday report that constant reinforcements are reaching the rebels from the direction of Richmond and Rappahannock.
(Signed) J. E. Wool, Maj. Gen. Com.
BALTIMORE, April 13.– An Old Point letter brings no later news except that the Merrimac was aground near Sewall’s Point. This is only surmise. The other rebel vessels are moving about. At 5 p. m., Merrimac’s position was unchanged, and from tide being down and tugs about her, looks pretty certain that she is hard aground.
WASHINGTON, April 12 – A dispatch to the Secretary of War from Fortress Monroe, 12th, says the Merrimac has been stationary all day near Sewall’s Point, in plain sight.
