Movements at Fort Monroe. --From the movements of vessel going on at Fort Monroe Wednesday, it is thought that the enemy were carrying away troops — probably to Washington. A brisk firing near Newport News was also heard, which some receive as a token of an engagement between portions of McGruder's and Butler's forces.--Norfolk Argus.
