A Federal officer of some Sensibility.
--Gen. McCook, of the Federal army, sent the following letter to Hon. Baille Peyton, of Tennessee, with the remains of Lieut.
Baille Peyton, Jr:
Sir: It was my painful duty to-day, as commander of this camp, to receive the remains of your gallant son, who fell, bravely leading his company, at the battle of Mill Spring, on Jan. 19th inst.
I have no personal acquaintance with you, but I have often heard my father speak of you as one of his friends; and I, as the son of a friend, to the son of a friend, have had all possible attention paid to the remains.
On the arrival of the body here.
I had it embalmed by Professor Goldsmith, of Louisville and Dr. Meylut, my Medical Director.
The metallic coffin was --furnished by Gen. Dr, O. Ryell and Department Commander.
I hope a speedy close will be put to this unhappy rebellion — this unholy war.
The News from east Tennessee.
As yet we have no clear statement of the result at Fort Donelson from our own side.--The telegraph has given nothing directly to the press, and no mail has come through from Nashville since the great battle.
This is owing, no doubt, to the complete monopoly of the railroad to transport troops and stores.
Neither mails nor passengers have come through.
We publish a statement this morning by telegraph from Augusta, made to the press of that city by a Lieutenant who was in the fight at Donelson.
This statement rather discourages the hope that the loss in prisoners is very much exaggerated by the Yankees.
The disaster in this respect must be very great.
Another terrible lesson against cooping up men to defend positions not properly fortified.
We are yet unable to announce positively that Buckner is not a prisoner.
Floyd is the only General in whose escape all accounts concur.
