8&y*The following short account of
the fight and surrender of Fort Donel-
son, was written by Hon. J. C. Burch,
ono . of the editors of the Nashville
Union & American, and a meniher of
the Staff of General Pillow :
Tho fight commenced at Fort Donel-
son on Wednesday noon, and contin
ued daily until tho Fort was surrender'
ed, Sunday mon::n~. The main fight
was on Saturday, when our forces
marched out of their entrenchments
and attacked the oriemy, killing not
loss than 1,000, capturing 7 pieces of
artillery, 250 prisoners, and a huge lot
of small arms, blankets and knapsacks.
Our loss was ubout 200 killed and from
400, to 000 wounded. The enemy had,
with a large foroe, surrounded us, pre
paratory to culling off our communica
tion with Clarksville and Nashville.
This was tho cause of our going out
and attacking them Saturday. Ihe
result of the fight on St turday made
us tool triumphant. About sundown
on'Saturday we sent off the sick, woun
ded and piisoners in the two small
boats wo had at Donelson. Early in
the night «ur scouts brought us the in
telligence that 14 steamboats were
landing fresh troops 1J miles below us.
Three hours aftor, our cavalry informed
us that tho onmuy in large force had
again surrounded us, occupying the
position from which we had driven
thorn in the morning.
Tho complote state of exhaustion of
our army, and its manifest inability to
raako or sustain an attack, determined
the surrender. The snow was three
inches deep, the weather severely cold
and our’ltten had ' been working and
fighting.for several clays and nights,
with no means of rest except what they
found in tbe trenches. They had
been hurriedly carried there, without
thoir tents' or camp equipage. The
number surrendered was about 9-000.
The number escaped about 3,000. This
does not include about 1,000 cavalry,
the most or all of whom probably es
caped.— Oonftd.
prisoners will be made according to the
plan adopted by the U. S. and Great
Britain in the war 1812.
11 is rumored that an nttempt will
shortly be made by tho Federala to go

The Bohemian 1ms arrived from Liv
pool with dates to the 7th inst. Lord
Derby thinks the assent of the Yankees
to the demand for Mason and dlidell
was ungraceful.
Die Nashville started from Sontlramp
ton forty hours in advance of the Tus-
curoru, and her affiaers announced that
they would blow her up before they
would a'low her to be taken.
The ••Tribune” ridieuleH t ie idea thnt
McClellan directed tho buttle- Ft Fort
D-melson. It says the latest advices
from that place is, that the rebels liad
abandoned Clarksville, and nero mov
ing everything to Nashville ; that tho
federal troops were preparing to attack
Memphis. The capture of Nashvil.e is
not claimed by the Yankees.
News to the North from Port Royal
to tho 16th inst., says it was exp otod
that Savannah tveuld full in a few days.
It is also reported that, the rebels are
evacuating Manassas. Gen. llalleek
has decided not to iiang the condeiiin

people were thrown out of employ

Memphis, Fob .24—Tho Federals have
not occupied Nashville. Buell’s army
scouts have appeared on tho north side

Gens. Price and MoCullough are pre

Memphis. Feb. 25.—Fayetteville

paring for a battlo.
The Confederates at Cumberland
Gap are largely reinforced—tbe Feder
als frightend at the sight of our camps

Richmond, Feb. 25.—The President
sent a message to Congress in which he
says:
“Since the delivery of my last mes
sage events have demonstrated that tho
Government lias attempted mors than
it-had the power to nohieve ; hence, in
our efforts to protect our territory—sea
board and inland—we have been so ex
posed as recently to enoountor serious
disasters.
At the formation of the Government
we wero, to a great extent, destitute of
means to prose cute a war on so gigantic
a scale. Workshhops and artisans were
mainly in the North'. One of the first
objects was the establishing of manu
factories of arms; and in the mean
time tbe purchase of them in Europe
as far as practicable, whatever was re
quired lor tho public defenco.
In A pril lust, active military opera
tions in Europe placed many obstacles
in i lie way ol the procurement of arms.
lie says lie has no official reporta of
tho discomfitures of ltoanoke and D-m
elson; hut it is enough to know the
surrender at Roanoke to, make us fool
deeply humiliated, however imperfect
may linve been tho means of delense.
Ho hopes the reports from Donelson
are exaggerated, inasmuch as we nr>-
not only unwilling hut unable to believe
that a large’army would surrender
without a desperate effort to out their
way through the investing forces, what
ever may have been their number, and
endeavor to make a junction with other
divisions of the army ; but in tho ab
sence of official reports, will not be
premature in judgment.
