OMPORTANT FeO FORT MOWTOK of tee Yort—No Apprehension of Decurtty wlan Attach—So Hebel Batteries on the Wert Side—Burmimg ef Bar- mt Conduct of Massachu- Porrsuovra, Apri) 27, 1361. fo Mach anxiety seems to prevail, in the North, re- Fort Monroe, that it may bs well to inform you tas not the slightest apprehension haa been felt, at any time, by Colonel Dimick that a successful attack could be ‘ade againat it, by the State troops of Virginia, Not” -withstanding the comparative weakness of the land side, has been materially strengthened, within the last few weeks, and labors are Constantly going on, to render it umeesailable. @ver two thousand troops are in garrison, and they are in the best of health and of spirits. They we well provisioned, and, excepting milk, which they have been unable to obtain, tince communication was cut off with Hampton, have everything that is needed. The votuuteers from Massachusetts, behave admirably, and adapt themeelyes readily to the service. There is daily with the large paixhans, constant drill, and the strictest mainter ance of discipline. Inquiries are continually made whether any batteries have been raised by the State troops, on the western side @f the fort. This is the side nearest the land, on which there are no casemates. Colonel Dimick declared, even Before the secession of Virginia, that he should regard my attempt to raise batieries there as an act of ‘war, and, without waiting for instructions from Washing- Jon, should demolieh them forthwith. Nota single ap. pearance of aggreesion has yo been made, however, nor do I believe that anything of the kind is in prospect. ‘There ja no movement of guns, mortars or ammunition possible from the interior, and the little steamer which makes daily passages from Norfolm to Hampton, is so @eeely watched, that ehe could scarcely land # percussion sap without ite being detected. The surveillance, in every @trec: ion, is incessant. Gentinels are|ported at the bridge ever the creck, and all communication from without is more for the purpose of preventing annoyance from fugitive slaves, than as a measure of pre- eantion, or to keep out citizens of Hampton. Af of the barracks and woodwork in the interior of FertMonroe, have been burned. Carroll Hall, a brick remain. Officers and soldiers, are alike quartered in the casemates. The trees, whose beauty and sbad are among the chief attractions of the interior of the fortress, have, @ eourse, not been cut down. The seventy-five acres, watuded within the vast stronghold, would be bleak in deed, without their presence upon the parade. The wildest, and moet absard ramors, prevail here, Seom time to time, with regard te mattars in the fortress, Shut up as tt is, it constitutes a Udolpho of mysterious, fearful sttractions. General Gwynne, commander of Vir. gtmia for es, seat over s flag of truce, a day or two since, with a request to be informed whether it was true that ‘& wumber cf Virginia officers, as had been currently re- ported, were ip irous, or otherwise restrained, at Fort Monroe or Galhoun! He was informed that no such Btrocity had been perpetrated. Again, another deputa ten, waited, recently, apon Colonel Dimiek, from Hanp. ton, with @ polite demand that he would let them know by ‘whether the Massachusetts troops, as they had heard, ‘were 60 insubordinate that he had been compeile | to ask fer gore regulars to put them down; and alo whether be had just hung & man from Mill @eek) The Colone) assured them that no individual had Deen strang up that he was aware of, and that he hat never feen better conducted troops in his life, than those | the Ninth, Seventy-ninth and Fifty-firth, will be sadly ‘whom be bad the honor to command from the Bay Siate. We added that there was not a particle of abolitionism among them; that they all entertained the utmost respect fer tbe rights of the South, and were indisposed to attack %®; but that they had come away from home to defend fe Union, and because, as they said, ‘ they wished to pow whetber they stil! bad a country.” Colonel Dimick had s narrow escape, last Sunday night, from being, himself, a victim to the close watch of his sentinels, He had been, in a boat, to the lightship, sta- tioned between Capes Henry and Charles, and, upon bis veturn, wos challenged at the water battery. From some eare, benegiected to give the word, and a shot was fired, which narrowly missed him, and severely wounded, in the shoulder, a soldier standing behind him. In an in stant, twenty men were on the spot, were, Not a dive annoyan ‘6 was experienced, avd some mis ‘enderg@tandings were created, previous to the entire stop- page of intercourse between Hampton and the fort, by pegroes. Not many days ago, a dozen or more over the Mili Creek bridge ; but were conducted ack to the Hampton shore by order of Colonel Dimick. Bome of them were not recovered by their owners, but get off into the woods. The Hamptonians complained Ditterty that they had not been brought by the troops to We guardhouse. The Colonel replied that he bad neither vight nr authority to do more than expel them from the precincts under his command, and that therewith they moust 6 content. One wench managed, however, to re- weeks in the fortress, going about from Kitehem to kitchen, before the fact of her being a slave ‘was discovered. Do not believe any story to the effect that Fort Monroe | casicnally participate in the conversation, ntleman express the hope to one of the recruits (lat egiment would return to their homes ia safety, to te im danger of being taken.
