[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]
Fifty-Sixth Virginia Regiment.--the loss of Co."K." in the Fort Donelson battle.

Chattanooga, Tenn. March 11, 1862.

Knowing that great anxiety is felt by the friends and relatives of the men of Co. ‘"K, "’ of the 56th regiment Virginia Volunteers, who participated in the protracted fight at Fort Donelson, in February last, I trust you will publish the following it of these who were taken prisoners, but were well and hearty at last accounts.--Sergeants H. C. Earnest, H. T. Tucker and, E. M. Pearce; Corporals Wm. H. Wood and B F. Marshall, privates E. M. Acree, John Adams, D. We Anderson, R. Haskel, Wm. Baley, L. W. Heath, Leo. W. Morgan, Wm. Ingram, A. J. Jenkins, Thos. Jackson, E. W. Kellery, H. P. Kelley,. John S. McGuee, Robt. Richardson, Joseph J. Smythee, Thomas Truman, Thomas J. Truman, Wm. White, P. J. Woods, and William H. Peace. All the balance of the company made their escape and are accounted for.--We deeply regret the loss of our gallant Captain Barrizon who was mortally wounded on the field, and died on the steamer going to Nashville. We have had a hard time of it, but every man has nobly performed his duty. How long our brigade will remain at this place, I am unable to say,

J. H. Mason,

1st Lieut. Co.‘"K.,"’ 56th Regt.Va. Vols.
