The Fort Donelson battle.a Confederate account. Augusta, Feb. 21. --Lieut. Duquerceron, of the 14th Mississippi regiment, and who was in the battle at Fort Donelson, arrived here last night. He gives substantially the following account of the battle: On Sunday last the enemy were reported within sight of the fort. Our forces were from 13,000 to 15,000, and embraced one or two regiments of cavalry and four field batteries. On the previous Wednesday morning the sharpshootersrsday and Friday the battle continued, but it was little more than an artillery duel, with occasional engagements between skirmishers. There was but little loss on our side. During Friday the enemy's gunboats opened a tremendous fire on Fort Donelson, which was continued throughout the day without interruption. On Saturday morning the Confederate army was ordered out at three o'clock A. M., and formed in line of battle. The fight which resulted continued from centre to left and soon

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.

active operations what heroism and patriotism are here displayed by these, the most defenceless and exposed! It is hot though probable that the enemy will make an immediate advance along the Bowling Green route, unless they defeat us at Fort Donelson. In that event, an advance movement along the whole line of the enemy will be promptly made, and terrible fighting will ensue. Before this reaches you there fore, you will doubtless receive-by telegraph stirring news from this quarter. an inviting city, the capital of the State, and not far removed from the Northern invasion, yet, strange to say, not the first preparation seems to have been made for its, successful defence. Bowling Green protected it in one direction, and Fort Donelson in another; but the fall of either of these place exposes the city to the speedy tread of the Hessian columns. It seems never to have entered the heads of its people that danger was only a few miles from their doors, and at any unguarded mom
