Going North.

--A number of people are under the impression that if they could get a permit from Gen. Winder they could go to Fortress Monroe by flag of truce. Such is not the case. The General would very readily give a passport to every proper applicant; but Capt. Mulford, the Yankee officer who has charge of the boats coming to City Point, has received the most positive orders from Stanton to permit no one save a Yankee soldier or Union man to take passage on the boats on pain of a forfeiture of his commission. Parties going North have to do so by a land route known to the initiated. They take the risks of falling into the hands of the enemy.
