nciples of civilized warfare. A remarkable escape. The following particulars of the remarkable escape of Lieut. Atwell Johnston, of the Columbus (Miss.) Riflemen, who was captured at Donelson, forms quite an incident of the surrender, and wi of about 200 men, two of whom were free negro soldiers, a company of them having served, it is said, in the battle. Lieut Johnston was crashed at the idea of being taken a prisoner, and never, perhaps, being able to see his young wife and mother aarrying out the plan, as the boat anchored quietly in the river. They were taken from thence to Chicago, Ill, where Johnston succeeded in swapping off his uniform among his comrades until he obtained a suit of citizen's clothes. A large number of citizens received passes from the commanding officer to visit the prisoners daily.

Our line of battle extended fourteen miles; the right was commanded by Gen. Johnston; the centre by General Beauregard, and the left by Gen. Cheatham. As the day advanced, the enemy threw their whole fore on the left wing, when Gen. Beauregard changed his position to that wing. Another account. The Memphis Appeal, oeft are, retiring on his gunboats — has given way — his centre shaking, and shouts of victory pierce the air. But I could only guess at what transpired beyond my own little sphere.
