2 P. M., at which time I had but four guns fit for service. At five minutes before 3, finding it impossible to maintain the fort, and wishing to spare the lives of the gallant men under my command, and on consultation with my officers, I surrendered the fort. Our casualties are small. The effect of our shot was severally felt by the enemy, whose superior and overwhelming force alone gave them the advantage. The surrender of Fort Henry involves that of Capt. Taylor, Lieut. Watts, Lieut. Weller and one other officer of artillery; Capts. Hayden and Miller, of the Engineers, Capts. H. L. Jones and McLaughlin, Quartermaster's Department; A. A. A. Gen. McConnice, and myself, with some fifty privates and twenty sick, together with all the munitions of war in and about the fort.

s stream, which, however, when excited, has sometimes threatened to carry away the town. During the late war, both Charlottesville and Staunton had a good many more Northern visitors than they are ever likely to have again. Staunton, we believe, has the advantage in this respect, having entertained a succession of cavalry and infantry can only boast of a solitary cavalry parade. One of the chief glories of Staunton has disappeared since the introduction of railroads. The innumerable stage coaches, which would have delighted the heart of the elder Mr. Weller, and made it a perfect horse heaven, have departed to the regions of the setting sun. What the commercial prospects of the two towns are in the future, we do not care to inquire. We dare say that neither of them will become a Tyre or Babylon, but they may be content if they always remain as they are, the homes of a population which few of the great hives of commerce can equal in all the qualities which ennoble human nature.
