(Special to New York Times)
FORTRESS MONROE, April 27. – It is stated by contrabands that the most intense excitement exists around Norfolk and they have great fears of an attack by Burnside. Nearly all the troops have gone to South Mills to repel any advance he might make.
Contrabands state that the new prow on the Merrimac is 12 feet long, of wrought iron and steel pointed.
Many citizens of Norfolk are leaving.
The fall of New Orleans is credited by every one.
