against us, and supported by their gunboats they have gained some important victories. To hold them in utter contempt was dangerous enough; to swing from that to the opposite extreme would argue a weakness of character which it would be humiliating to impute to the Southern people.--We must not permit what the Yankees have accomplished, with immense odds in their favor. to make us oblivious of what we have achieved against great odds, and, in lamenting our defeat at Roanoke Island and Fort Donelson, to forget Bethel, Bull Ran, Hansesse, Springfield, Belmont.

To Major General McClellan: Clarksville is taken, with supplies enough for our army twenty days. The place is now occupied by General Smith's division. H. W. Halleck,/signed> Major-General Commanding. St. Louis, Feb. 21. --Special dispatches from Cairo to the Republican and Democrat, say that on Tuesday two rebel regiments, from Clarksville, came to Fort Donelson and were tired of fighting the old flag. It is declared that strong objection a will be raised by the Tennessean against the Bowling Green force offering battle at Nashville. The Provost Marshal at Clarksville his sent word to General Grant to come up and occupy the town at once. The officers of the gunboats now lying there represent the Union feeling as very strong.

The poor fellow, after the first excitement was over was assisted below, and in the night he died, full of rejoicing to the last; at the triumph of the old flag. Relief for the orphans of the slain. Philadelphia, Feb. 17. --In the midst of the rejoicing over the news from Fort Donelson at the Commercial Rooms in the Merchant's Exchange, a proposition was started to raise a fund of $100,000 to educate and provide for the orphans of the slain on the Federal side, and $5,000 was raised in a few minutes. The rest will be easily obtained.
