Naval intelligence.

--A correspondent of the Petersburg Express writes from Norfolk.

The Merrimac has been gotten up and repairs are to be made on her forthwith. The Lincolnites burned this noble frigate down to the copper. Two or three months, however, will suffice to make her whole again. Three or four steamers are being fitted out at the Navy-Yard, after the regular man-of war style, to cruise in-the sounds of North Carolina, and to run out to sea and pick up the merchant marine of the North. This will be glorious fun, and the gallant officers who command these vessels will doubtless reap a rich harvest from the Yankee Doodles.
