Partly through the influence of a Mr. Metzger, the postmaster, who, except one Dr. Brace, was the only Union man in the town, more troops were at once sent, and we found already encamped here the Fourteenth New Hampshire and Thirty-ninth Massachusettither they or their commands, or both, are green. At first we pitched our tents on a level tract of land outside and near the town, but it being considered by Dr. Brace too flat to be healthy, we moved soon afterwards to a rise of ground a few rods distant. Here we laid out a plan for a permanent camp. From the quarters occupie ascertained, it was the final appearance of the Guidon in the role of a raider. One of the men, an expert in the business, took poultry from the premises of Dr. Brace near by, in open daylight. He was detected, however, and by order of the Captain taken under guard to the house to return the fowls, now ready for the pot, and

The Fort Donelson investigation. As the public are informed, the special committee to whom was referred this matter have made a report to the House, declining at present to announce the conclusion of the committee, owing to the mass of testimony yet to be accumulated; but submitting that already obtained, and asking it to be printed for the use of members. In addition to this report, two of the committee, Messrs. Foote and Brace, asked leave to present a minority report, expressing an opinion upon some of the subjects involved in the investigation; but consent not having been obtained, it was not presented.
