Named Entity Results, Fortress Monroe (Virginia, United States)

s, the neighborhood of Cairo is being daily strengthened by the Federalists, while Gen. Lyon has extended his line in such a manner, he believes, as Gov. Jackson's retreat may be cut off. The New York 17th Regiment, Col. Burke, arrived here yesterday at 1:30. While at the depot they drank much whiskey, and indulged among themselves in a game of fisticuffs. The 71st New York Regiment is now at the Navy-Yard. They leave on Tuesday or Wednesday next, either for Mathias' Point or Fortress Monroe.

From the operations of the enemy and their movements at Newport News, it seems probable that they intend crossing to the South side of James River and take possession of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, if they can do so.
