PHILADELPHIA, May 19.
The Bulletin contains
the following additional from Fortress Monroe:
The repulse of the gunboats is generally regarded as a very
serious affair. On the Naugatuck
seventeen are reported killed by the explosion of the gun. The boat made a useless fight and was
withdrawn. The Galena was riddled with
shots, and the loss is supposed to be heavy.
The Monitor was struck repeatedly, but is said to be uninjured.
Affairs are quiet at Norfolk. There have been several attempts lately to
assassinate Union soldiers. Yesterday an
affair occurred causing some uneasiness.
Colonel Brown, of the 20th Indiana, stationed at Portsmouth, went out of
town to take a ride; soon afterwards his horse came into town, wounded and
without a rider. It is feared the
Colonel is killed or captured.
