Latest news by Express.
The Baltimore papers of Monday were received last evening.
The telegraphic dispatches which we copy from that source are not, in all cases, reliable, since they are generally much exaggerated:
From Washington. Washington, May 19.
--A private letter, dated on board the frigate Minnesota, at Hampton Roads on Friday, says:
We arrived from Boston on the 13th, and have commenced our assaults on the enemy.
We have seized about $300,000 worth of ships and tobacco.
I went ashore at the fort yesterday to see some of the Massachusetts volunteer militia.--There are about two thousand troops there, including the Vermont regiment that arrived a day or two since.
They are all ripe for a fight, and down on the commandant because he won't allow them to make a raid upon Hampton, where there is a strong Secession feeling.
The Harriet Lane is anchored just ahead of us. She leaves to-day for Charleston.
The Star, late Monticello, is about nine miles a
The North Carolina.
--This ship, belonging to Messrs. Hardy & Bro., of Norfolk, which was seized by the blockading squadron, on her arrival in Hampton Roads, was towed to sea again on Friday.
The Captain was not allowed to communicate with his owners, from which fact it is inferred that the ship has been sent to New York as a prize.--Norfolk Herald.
Baltimore vessels captured.
--The steaming Live Yankee arrived at the Philadelphia Navy-Yard on Saturday morning, from Hampton Roads, having in tow three schooners loaded with tobacco, in cases and boxes.
The names of the vessels are the Emily Ann, Mary Willis, and Delaware Farmer, all owned in Baltimore.
These vessels started from Richmond to go to Baltimore.
Finding it impossible to pass the blockade, they quietly surrendered to the "Harriet Lane," and orders coming from the Minnesota, the flag-ship of the squadron, to have them taken to Philadelphia, they were taken in tow by the Live Yankee.
