The True Story of the Battle and Fall
of Fort Donelson.
- At length, after a long and painful
interval, we begin to see something
about the fall of Fort Donelson
from our friends who were present
there.
An officer of a Virginia regiment,
who took part in the affair, has pub
lished a concise, but authentic state
ment of the whole affair in the Lynch
burg Republican. We hasten to lay
before the reader its important
points:
Nashville, Feb. 17.—You have, ere
this, heard of the bloodiest contest ev
er witnessed on this continent—the
light at Fort Donelson. It commen
ced on the 12th, but did not rage
fiercely until the 13th. On the morn
ing of the 13th the enemy opened fire
on the fort with their gunboats and
attacked us on our right by land. In
the course of two hours the fight be
came general and terrific. They made
gallant charges on our right and left,
we being in our rifile pits. They came
again and again. Early in the even
ing they drew oft' their men, rallied
them, and made another desperate ef
fort, but were repulsed with heavy
loss just about night. On the morn
ing of the 14th they again attacked us.
and were again repulsed about 12
o’clock. In the meantime, their gun
boats were doing all they could to re
duce the fort, without success. They
were disappointed, and sadly so, for
their boats were disabled. About
night they again made a desperate ef
fort with their boats and by land, but
were literally torn to pieces. At this
stage of the game we got the news of
transports coming up the river, fifteen,
iu number. They landed fifteen thou
sand more men, and their force was
now about fifty thousand. We had
about fourteen thousand.
Our generals determined to go out
of the entrenchments'and drive them
away, or sacrifice the life of all in their
armies in the attempt. So, early on
the morning of the 15th we left our
rifle pits and attacked the enemy in his
strong position, and after seven hours
of the most terrific fighting, put them
to flight. We took at our charge 200
prisoners. Just here I will call par
ticular attention to the Thirty-sixth
Virginia regiment. It led the charge
upon a battery, took it, and brought
it within our breastworks, and lost, iu
doing so, seventy-two men, killed and
wounded, out of 300 ! Such is the
gallant spirit of old Virginia. Then,
the fifty-first regiment, Colonel Mas-
sie’s, lost fifty-one out of 250, and the
fifty-sixth forty-one out of 300. Colo
nel Reid led the fiftieth regiment. I
course'of some two hours,
having received the fifteen
reinforcements above mentioned, at
tacked us on our right, and such an
attack as they made, I reckon was
scarcely ever before known. They
came up and took a portion of the
breastworks on the right and held
them—;took one battery, but were im
mediately repulsed and driven beyond
the rea,ch of Buck and Ball. But on
thew»xjjfome right they fought so very
desperately that at one time I thought
we would not repulse them. We got
out of ammunition on the right, and
then it was I was apprehensive of the
result. But our hoys took their fire
without any ammunition, eagerly
awaiting their nearer approach that
they might “stick ’em,” as they call
l^iit. they didn’t give them a
•cJnuitje.^Cljjj^ftmkees fell back, and
it was ^^^ong before plenty of am-
munitio^was at hand, and now they
peppered them.
But we were too much exhausted.
We fought four days, and were up
nights, and under such circumstances
a man might fall asleep whilst firing a
gun ; and our Generals (Pillow, Buck
ner and Johnson) knew that a surren
der was almost inevitable.
General Floyd said he icould'nt surren
der. and took his original division, Col
onel Wharton and Colonel McCausland,
and started for Nashville. I fear that
one of his regiments, the twentieth
Mississippi, was taken.
I rode over the battle-field. There
were over 1,000 Yankees left dead. To
give a corrrect idea of the number
killed, I oYrtijht to say 5,000.
I rode over the field on which the
battle outside the breatworks was
fought, aud really I would have sup
posed there were three thousand kill
ed there; but General Pillow and
Floyd supposed there was one thou
sand killed outside the breastworks.
Our loss in killed must be fully six
hundred, but I have not ascertained
accurately what it is. We have a great
many wounded. It seems str-ajjge,
but every Yankee I saw on the^t-
tle-iield was shot through the Brad.
It was remakable.
Generals Pillow’s, Buckner’s and
Johnson’s commands we taken, and
probably one regiment of General
Floyd’s was also taken. General Pil
low himself escaped.
Besides the foregoing account, the
edftor of the Republican, who has lately
been his own correspondent in the
West, furnishes some particulars of
the manner in which the intelligence
was received at Nashville, where the
editor was at the time :
The panic at Nashville Sunday was
perhaps, never equalled since the
afiiiir at Bull Run. The news of the
'all of Douelson reached the city just
as the several congregations were as
sembled for morning worship. It was
announced from the pulpits, and the
ladies and children were told to look
out for themselves. Such consterna
tion was never seen before. The men
seemed worse than the women, and all
who could do so packed up and fled
the city. Every road was soon lined
with rapidity flying vehicles, heaped
with baggage and families. The rush
at the cars was overwhelming. Noth
ing was ever seen like it. Not one
bundreth part got off who sought to
go. The scene was indeed, indescri
bable. Women in tears excited our
sympathies many things excited our
laughter, but the cowardly conduct of
men was the subject of unmitigated
loathing. Grown up men would tell
you the enemy would be in the city in
two hours, when he was at least sixty
or seventy iniles distant.
Our loss in the fall of Nashville is
very great. It was one ol our largest
depots of provisions, and the quantity
of bacon sacrificed is immense. But
it will not fall into the hands of the
enemy, but be destroyed. Indeed the
whole city should be fired by its peo
ple, so that the enemy would only
march into a burning Moscow.
Generals Pillow and Floyd and their
staffs reached Nashville Sunday night.
They are undismayed by their deteat
and will soon put the enemy to a se
verer test. These two men are the- idols
of the people and the army in this sec
tion. Universal confidence isput in them
and ‘ ‘ Old Floyd” especially is propounced
to be one of the best generals in the field.
He was the only one who 'marched off any
respectable portion of his brigade.
immense crowd who visited him __
his quarters, spoke as follows: “This,’*
said General F-, “is not the time for
speaking, but for action. It was time
for every man now that loved his coun
try to enlist in tne army, and for the
w r ar. Not day ought to be lost. He
spoke feelingly of the fight at Fort
Donelson, where only 10,000 effective
men fought four for days and nights
against a force of 40,000 of the
enemy. But natjire^cdffld noVholdout
any longer—men required rest, sflld
after having lost over one-third of his
gallant fo/ce, he was corbelled to re
tire, not however, without leaving
over 1,000 dead of the enemy on the
field. He spoke in high terms of (Jbn-
eral Sydney Johnston—whom he said
had not slept a wink in three nights, ^
and also that his plan was a wise one
to entice the enemy to our mountain
fastnesses away from the water cour
ses, and then to drive him back and
carry the war into his own coun
try.
The Fall af Fart Drnrlna.
Our Northern files now begin to furnish
detailed accounts of the late affair at Fort
Donelson.
The special correspondence of the Cin-
cinuatti Gazette furnishes a very complete
narrative of the part takeu by the gunboats
in the first two aays of the combat.
It will be seen that the Yankee force
was 60,000 men at tbe close oi the
the second day, independent of the gun
boats force. We have room for one or two
extracts only.
DAMAGE TO THE BOATS.
GENERAL FLOYD.
This brave and gallant man, alter
his brilliant but unsuccessful de
fence of Fort Donelson, retreated with
a portion of bis brigade to Nashville.
Upon his arrival in that place, he was
enthusiasticly welcomed by tbe citi
zens, and in respects to the calls of an
As we neared tbe fort the enemy com
menced pouring "plunging shot” into us
great rapidity.—Theirguns were well
pointed and did great execution. A thir
ty-two pound ball struck the pilot-bouse
of our vessel piercing tbe inch and a half
iron and the fifteen inch oak. In striking
tbe iron plate it was broken. A number
of large fragments scattered within the pi
lot-house, mortally wounding one of the
pilots, F. A. Riley, of Cincinnati, striking
tbe Hag-officer, Commodore Foote, in the
ankle, and slightly injuring two other men.
Immediately after this a shot entered our
deck iu the starboard side, and, passing
through, it glanced downward to the shell
room, striking the ship’s cook, Charles W.
Baker, of Philadelphia, in th^^^l, liter
ally tearing the skull off. heavy
balls now glanced over the pilot-house,
piercing the chimneys and cat rying away
the chimney guns. These were followed
by a couple of shots, which struck our
vessel just above water mark.
It was now discovered that tho wheel
bad beeu injured by tbe shot which killed
tbe pilot. Two of the spokes were broken
and the vessel did nJt respond well to her
helm. At attempt was made to steer
her by the relieving tackle, but it was
found that the current was too strong.
The Commodore fearing lest the ship
should turn a broaside to the enemy, order
ed her to drop down slowly.
At half-past three a shell from our boats
struck the rebel fiag-6taff breaking it off
close to the ground. An officer of the
fort immediately fan out and erected it
near its former site.
ALL THE FLAGS CUT DOWN.
Scarcely had tho rebel ensign been dis
placed when a thirty-two pound ball struck
the flag-staff of the St. Louis, carrying it
away close to the ship’s deck. It had no
sooner fallen than one of .our brave men
jumped before tbe month of a cannon just
about to be fiired, and seizing the spar,
placed it in an upright position, and cool
ly remained a mark for the enemy while
he secured it to the ship’? deck with a rope
A few moments after this the flag staff of
the Louisville was carried off; that of the
Carondelet went next and that of the Pitts
burg followed soon after.
The other boats we found were suffering
quite as severely as the flagship.
One of the guns of the Carondelet
burst during the latter part of the engage
ment; the tiller ropes of tbe Louisville
were cut away rendering it almost impos
sible to steer correctly; the Pittsburg re
ceived a number of shots below water
mark, causing her to leak very rapidly.
These two latter accidents happening al
most simultaneously with the injury to the
flagship, rendered a withdrawl absolute
ly necessary. The order was then given
for the entire fleet to drop beyond the
range of the fort.
CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND DAY’S FIGHT.
Cairo, Feb. 16.—Commodore Foote re
turned to Cairo last night in the Conesto
ga. His wound is much better, but he is
compelled to use crutches. He is here to
attend in the completion of the Benton,
and the outfit of some of the mortar boats.
A number of the mortars left for the Cum
berland yesterday.
Reinforcenents hare been sent to General
Grant, to such an extent that his army must
now number nearly fifty thousand men.
With such a force he can certainly prerent
further accession to the enemy's Ranks. The
Battle will be a fierce one. What ire saw
on Friday convinced us that the rebels mean
"fight,” that they fully realize the impor
tance of holding their position; aud the
utter prostration of their cause that must
attend their defeat at Fort Donelson.
-Give ate Drink."
Mr. M’Leod, an English writer, puts
the following language in the mouths of
those who visit the rumsellers den:
“There’s my money; give me drink!
There’s my clothing, and my food’ give
me drink! There’s the clothing, food and
fire of my wife and children: give me
drink! There’s the education of tbe fami
ly and peace of the house; give me drink!
There’s the fees I have robbed from my land
lord, fees I have robbed from the school
master, and innumerable articles 1 have
robbed from the shop-keeper; give me
drink! Pour me out more drink, fori will
yet pay for it? There's my health of
body and peace of mind; there’s my char
acter as a man, and my profession as a
christain; I give up all—give me drink!
More yet 1 have to give! There’s my
heavenly inheritance and the eternal
friendship of the redeemed—there—-there
—there—is all hope of salvation! I give
up my Savionr! 1 give up my God! 1 re
sign all that is great good and glorious in
the universe, I resign forever, that I may
be—Drunk.
Escaped.--Brig. Gen. Busbrod W. John
son, of Tennessee, who was among the
prisoners taken by the Yankees at Fort
Donelson^ succeeded in making his escape
and arrived safely at Murfrees-boro’ on
Sunday last. He states that on account
of their terrible less, the enemy*" was not
at all exultant over their victory.
In the fight at Donelson, General John
son eminent by dLtinguihbed him self forbis
bravery* He was the most gallant. He expo
sed himself continually aud even recklessly
all tbe while cheering his men, and calling
upon them to follow him.—Atlanta Confed

The Wheat Crop.—Reports from differ
ent sections of the Confederacy represent
the wheat and other growing crops u very
promising.
