The, visit of the rebel fleet yesterday was the cause 4f great excitement, though it had been looked for during several day past. The Merrimac is again lying at Craney Island under shelter of the rebel batteries, controlling the entrance to Elisabeth River, and guarding against our gunboats. Tho rebels intention is to keep the. Merri mac as a protection to Norfolk and Ports mouth. They will not venture a fair combat with the Monitor. At Yorktown the situation of affairs is un changed. Strong now batteries are developed daily. York river is damned in order to overflow the marshes flanking the rebel works. Gen. Joseph Johnson now commands the rebels. Gen. McClellan is receiving heavy siege guns.. Ti army is in good spirits, and everything le hopeful. Heavy thunder will be heard soon. The _vessels captured by the Merrimac, yesterday, wore of little value. I talked with a returning correspondent from the field of battle at Pittsburgh Land ing. He reports as substantially correct, our loss at about seven thousand, two thousand taken prisoners included. Corinth is not yet taken. The rebels will make another futile stand-there.

He furnishes the following particulars of the battle : Taylor's and Waterhouse's butteries, sup ported by the 23d Illinois, 77th and fghl Ohio regiments were first in the fight. Both of the Ohio regiments ran, the 77th without firing a gun, leaving Waterhouse's battery without support; he fought half an hour, however, retiring with three of his guns; he was wound ed is the ..high by a Minio ball, not fatally ; his battery karts badly cut up. Taylor's bat tery continued the fight, supported splendidly by the Illinois regiment, until he end his sup port were out flanked on both sides ; he then retired through a cross-fire, having but one man killed and seventeen wounded. T Meantime Warthrouse with his th guns took position, supported by the 2d Bri gade, MeClernand's division,composed of th 116th, 118th, 17th, 20th, 45th and 48th Illinois, Cal. Marsh commanding during the fight. They were compelled to retire through their own _encampment with henry loss into come woods,. where a emend line of battle was formed, and an advance ordered by Meelernind on the rebels, who were about a hundred rode ahead and in sight. Here commenced the most fiercely contested engagement of, the day, re sulting in the repulse of the enemy, who were driven back through our encampment. At thiS point the enemy met reinforcements, and our ammunition giving out, Marsh's command gave way to another brigade. They, how ever, were compelled to retreat within half a mile of the river. Atthis moment the gun boats behind commence d' throwing shells over the beads of our men, covering . the ground in every direction with the gain rebels. Tay lor's battery again took position on the • pa rade ground of the first division, and opened on the rebel battery placed about 800 yards distant. A splendid artillery duel then took phial*, which resulted in the silencing of the rebel battery, their minimal - being blown up. Taylor's battery was then ordered into the renerro. During the fight, several Mississippi regi ments.who had - arrived on Baturday night, came into the fight on.a *fable quick, and were almost immediately repulsed. On Monday, a much larger be tiery, cap tured the day before, was retaken-by the 15th Wis consin. The fight over this battery wan' con dueled by Beauregard in person. In his ef forts to recover it be was wounded in the arm. lie was succosaful in taking it, but it wail again taken from him. .It was captured and recaptured no loss than six times. Company A, Chicago Light Artillery, was so; severely handled the first day that they were only able to man three guns on Monday; but with thesis, after a desperate contest, they succeeded completely in silencing and cap turing a rebel battery of six.guns ; but, they were, however, compelled to - abandon it from lack of horses to draw itlDff. Their own pieces wore drawn off. The general retreat of the enemy com menced at dark on Monday, oar cavalry fol lowing until the horses were tired out. But for, the almost impassable condition of the roods, the rout would have been complete, and we•could have carried their intrenched camp atPorinth. It will bo impossible, on account of the condition of the roads, to do-it now fur some days. The rebel artillery is superior to ours, and their small arms are almost equal. The rebel loss is fifteen thousand killed and wounded, and ours ten thousand. These will be , found moderate estimates. The enemy have taken more prisoners than we. The Bth lota were captured en masse. When our reporter left, on Wednesday morning, our advance, which bad been pur suing, only occupied the ground formerly held by the enemy, half-way between Pittsburgh and Corinth. The enemy are straining every nerve to got in reinforcements, and bloody work must yet occur before we drivo them from their position. The Tirne(!• special says the responsibility 0 the surprise. rests with the commanding sili con. On Friday a largo force of rebel cavalry ap peared in sight of our linen and remained tfiere ; but Oen. Sherman, who occupied the advance, bad been ordered not to bring on an engagement, consequently he sent out no nor responding foree;,to meet them.

Sr. Loins, April 12.—Major McDonald, of. the Bth Missouri, arrived here last night, direct _from Pittsburgh Landing. Ile con firms the'death of A.

He thinks ell the reports about Boauregard being wounded are unreliable. 411 officer of the New — Orleans Creole Bat talion, who was taken prisoner, Bays &aura gard made a speech on the Saturday before the battle, in which he told them the, result Will a sure thing ; that they could not fail ; that they would capture tirant's army, and then whip Buell, and thus hold their rail roads. if they lost the day, he said they might as well lay down their arms and go home. Tho story of the escape of en. Pretitiss is not. true. lie, with the tar part of hie brigade, were taken ptidcuie early :in the fight of Sunday.

[Signed] Joss' E. Wow., Maj. Gen. FORTRICRS MONROC,ApriI 11-2 o'clock r. u.—The return of plasant weather to-day, brought out the Merrimac, as was generally expeeteC She bad•been seen three days since, under steam at Craney Island, and, as the evening of yesterday promised that the storm bad exhausted itself, few were surprised this morning at the announcement that she was in sight coming down. The alarm gun was fired at 20 minutes past 7 o'clock, and as soon as the appearance of the . Merrimac was generally known, the dock, beach and ramparts of the Fortress, command ing a view, were crowded with spectaters4 The Merrimac, after showing herself beyond Seiall's Point, appeared to be heading this way. She did not long continue on this course, however, but turned towards James river, foliose - Why six other gunboats, which, had come around the Point in her company. Of the latter the Jamestown and Yorktown were recognized. • Among the others were sup posed to be the Raleigh and Teaser. Arriving at a point about half way between Sewall's Point and News Point, (arid near the place where the French war vessels Gassendi and Catinet, and the English steamer Rinaldo had placed themselves early in the morning.) the whole fleet came to a stop; while the Jamestown, followed at some distance by the Yorktown and a small tug, continued on her course. Tho intention of the Jamestown was • not at 6ret perceived, but as she came around, leav ing Newport News on the left, it was seen that her object was to capture two brigs, and a schooner, which were anchored near the shore, about two miles from the point. This was done without the slightest difficulty; and the assistance of 'the small tug being rendered, the three prizes were taken off under the rebel flag. The whole affair was concleded in less than half an hour, and the Jamestown having rejoined the fleet, was ordered to tow the prises to Cr Incy Island. Taking the brig in tow and the others alongside, she moved Slowly away. Slightly alarmed at the bold dash, quite a number of schooners in the upper harbor availed themselves of the juvenile wind, and sailed out of danger. .11, to Chili time, the rebel fleet has remained in the position in which they first placed themselves, and nothing more has been done. The tide is now out, and probably no new movement will be made for some hours. If the Merrimac should then see fit to par us a visit, she will be appropriately welcomed. The amity of the two brigs captured are the .Salbad, of Providence, It. 1., and the Marcus, of Stockton, Me. The former was loaded with bay on private account, -and the latter was chartered by the Government, but had been unloaded. The name of the schooner has not been ascertained. The captains of the two brigs; escaped to the shore, in a small boat, with four of the crew of the Marcus. Two wereleft on board the latter, and six on board the Salbad, who made no efforts to escape. They were all taken prisoners, together with the crow of 'the schooner. It is said that the captured vessels were ordered last night to mova,down4he harbor fur safety. The schooner Harmony, used as a water boat by Mr. Noyes, Government-contractor, for supplying water to the fleet, happened to be along side one of the French men of war at the time the Virginia made her appearaneq, and was taken under the protection of the French flag, thus esciping capture: Mr. Noyes has ,previously lost .by capture two schoonersi which were employed as water boats by Latze..—,The Jamestown returned from Craney 'lsland at 3 o'clock. Not a shot was - area natil 4. o'clock, when the Merriman fired throe shots' in the direction of Hampton'Creak. The Naligatuck and , Octorora, which had been stationed in, that vicinity, replied with a number of shols o . all of which fell near the rebel fleet. The whole fleet, led by the Mer rimac, then returned to Elisabeth river. The name of the seliooner captured was the Emily, from Washington, with sutlers' stores. A passenger steatubeat, filled with specta tors, came out of Elizabeth river this after noon, and a number of small sail boats could be seen through the day off Sewall's Point.. Skirmishing , near Yorktarvn. Caul. careen Yoncrowx, April 13.—0 n Friday, while the 12tItNew York Volunteers, in command of Major Barnum, was on picket duty in front of the enemy's works, near Yorktown, a regiment of rebels came out from under cover and advanced in line of battle. Thu Major rallied about 300 of hie men to re ceive them at musket range, pouring forth a deadly fire of minnie balls, when the rebels retired, leaving their dead and wounded, which they afterwards removed in ambulances. Later in.the day the rebels advanced in con siderable force from another point, driving in our entire pickets and burnt a dwelling need by the United States troops. During both these skirmishes we bad three men slightly wounded. The 57th and 63d Pennsylvania Reghnenta had a brisk skirmish with the enemy on Fri day, in which we had two men killed and four wounded. Killed, E. Cross, Co. K, and j Jas. Thompson, Co.

A balloon was sent up from the rebel lines this morning, for the first time. The weather still continues pleasant, much imploring the roads. The stern-wheel steamboat Wissahickon, of Philadelphia, while entering a creek yester day', was, fired upon by the rebels' water bat tery, one shot passing very close to her cabin. Thera was no firing of artillery yesterday, by either party, of any moment. The army is busily occupied In pushing for ward the necessary preparations for an ad vance. There are no sutlers here, but the quarter master and subsistence departments are rap idly-perfecting their arrangements to keep the army supplied with everything needed for the comfort of the troops.

They said no money could hire them to endure the constant atinoyanee submitted'to last summer. They were obliged to leave their families and crops fingering, and shelter themselves for days and wake le the bush to get out of reach of tho rebels. Bands of outlaws frequently come down from Cassville, and would rob. Union mmt of every thing in the house blankets, bread, bacon, and so forth, and if 'they, eadght the owner he would be taken under a strong guard to Cassville. In consequence- of the : uncertainties of the future and unquiet Mate of the country, but a few area making any , preparations to put in their crops.- Harms are laid waste and fences burned up along the main road, and Union men are. discouraged. The secessionists have mostly gone South with their negroes. Some. Union people have not only abandoned the idea of making crops, but are getting their wagons oat, intending to forsake all and emigrate to a place of safety: The wounded are doing :well at Camille- The court-house and all the prominent starag• are being used as hospitals—it being a fortu nate circumstance for them that the owners of the principal buildings had stampeded from the town.
