down to Fortress Monroe yesterday and returned in the evening. We learn through this medium that the U. S. steamer Harriet Lane was very badly injured in her brush with the fort at Pig Point. It has been ascertained that six of her men were sent to the hospital on her return to Fortress Monroe. The number of killed we could not learn. The steamer Alabama, from New York, arrived at Fortress Monroe yesterday, full of troops. The following official announcement of the brush at Pig Point on Wednesday, has been sent up by Capt. Pegram, of the Virginia Navy, who is in command of the fort: Pig Point Battery, 9 A. M., May 5th, 1861. Sir: We have just had a smart brush with the Harriet Lane and drove her off. I think several shot were put in her hull. The engagement lasted about twenty minutes. The H. L. commenced the engagement by firing an XI. inch shell. R. B. Pegram. Respectfully submitted by Commander Virginia Navy. To Flag-Officer F. Forrest.
