From Fortress Monroe

FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 29 – Some negro deserters arrived here this morning from the opposite shore.  They were cooks in the Third Alabama Regiment, which is encamped in the vicinity.  They report that the last of the iron plates for the Merrimac were put on yesterday and that she was to be launched today.

A large steamer, reported to be the Merrimac, but probably erroneously so, made its appearance at Craney Island yesterday after noon.
