FORTRESS MONROE, May 7. – President Lincoln arrived here this morning and spent the day with Gen. Wool. This afternoon he visited Newport News to see Gen. Mansfield and to have a clear view of the Merrimac, which has been lying off Craney Island all the afternoon for the purpose, no doubt, of preventing our gunboats from running up the James river. She made no attempt to come out.
The George Peabody arrived here from Hatteras to-day, and started immediately for New York. No News has transpired.
