The 56th Regt. Virginia volunteers

--The above regiment comprises a part of General Floyd's brigade, and was in the severe fight at Fort Donelson, in Tennessee. For the satisfaction of the relatives and friends of the members, who reside mostly in Virginia, we have to state that a telegraphic dispatch was received in this city on Saturday from a member, by Col. W. D. Stuart, giving the gratifying information that the entire command was safe, and had escaped from the Hessians.
