March 10th while openly proclaiming the defeat of the Merrimac by the Monitor in the engagement of the 9th, Secretary Welles wires the Assistant-Secretary of the Navy at Fort Monroe, The President directs that the Monitor be not too much exposed and authorizes vessels laden with stone to be sunk in the channel of Elizabeth river to prevent the Merrimac from again coming out.—Do., page 25. As late as the 12th General McClellan telegraphs Assistant-Secretary Fox: Can I rely on the Monitor to keep the Merrimac in check so that I can make Fort Monroe a base of operations? —Do., page 27. The same date General Barnard, chief of engineers, McClellan's army, wires Assistant-Secretary Fox: The possibility of the Merrimac appearing again, paralyzes the movements of this army by whatever route is adopted.—Do., page 27.
