Instead of attacking Sewell's Point, the soldiers are landing among friends on the beach, beneath the frowning battlements of Fortress Monroe.--Gen. Sherman determined upon this step in order to demonstrate with what expedition the troops could land upon the enemy's shore.

Then again, it is stated that the fleet congregated at Fortress Monroe has tried its hand on Norfolk, and has captured that great reservoir of artillery. Few place any reliance on the first of these reports, and almost everybody credited the latter. The success in Western Virginia. The success of Gen. Kelly in Western Virginia is reported at the White House to-day, and gives us the hopes and encouragement we lost after the disaster at Leesburg. Gen. M'Clellan over the river. Gen.
