From Fort Monroe


FORT MONROE, March 16.

The bad weather delays repairs on the telegraph cable.

The congressional committee on naval affairs, and the assistant Secretary of the Treasury, came down from Washington this morning and returned to-night, after inspecting the Monitor and other objects of interest here.
