Norfolk and Fortress Monroe

BALTIMORE, May 17. – The Old Point boat has arrived but brings no letters.

Several of the crew of the Merrimac came up.  Some of them were Northern men and claim to have been impressed.


FORTRESS MONROE via WASHINGTON, May 16. – Gen. Wool visited Norfolk again to-day.

He is in contemplation to move the headquarters of this depot to that city.

There is no news from Gen. McClellan’s army.
