In view of the blow ing up of the Merrimac this morning, Commodore G o icibnorough has ordered the Meniter and liitter7 A. gieit.M to proceed up the James river, fur the purlrce of co-operating With the Galena. They sail to-night. THE CASE OF THE BLER.RWAc. There is no doubt now that the vessel blown up last night was really the iron-clad monster Merri mac, alias the Virginia. Sailors report having seen the lm li d n ies o f rin two i otacumen, men floating ale Water, dresse in the s]. whom they supposed were u o sailers on the Merrimac. It is supposed that these men were in iroLS, and blown up with the rebel mobsttotity. This agrees with the story very sa, rent hero among Secessionists, to the offset that a mainber of enlisted seamen on board the Merrimac had expressed their disapprobation of again env gieg the Mobitor in Mom:. action. The cruet Tat nail, who was in command, swore that if any man refused to u s ht and the ship shout,' be worsted, she tbould be MOM 'up, and they &Ileum circulate the air as would her monstrous timbers.
