After all their boasting over the Monitor, she has been repeatedly dared to combat by the Virginia and as often has sheltered beneath the guns of Old Point. We predict that she will remain there till the Virginia is out of her way. The whole Yankee navy dare not come out beyond the guns of Fortress Monroe to engage this single vessel.
