From Fort Monroe

FORT MONORE, April 24.

A flag of truce was sent to Norfolk on Wednesday, with dispatches. No newspapers were received.

On the return of the flag of truce, the steamer Nellie Baker proceeded with a flag of truce to receive a number of wounded taken by the rebels in a recent skirmish near Elizabeth City. They were brought down from Norfolk in a schooner in tow of a rebel tug.
