d despotism a decisive fire in the rear. Whether Nashville is to be abandoned or defended by Beauregard, we shall soon have an overwhelming force moving upon that important position, by land and water; and, with our occupation of Nashville, Memphis will become untenable to the rebels. And so, with the loss of Manassas and Nashville, they will be compelled to move down their northern defensive line within the boundaries of the seven original seceding cotton States--south Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. Compressed within these limits, and invested and invaded on all sides, the people of the cotton States will be very apt to make short work of the rump of the Davis Government and the demoralized remnants of his wasted armies.

where General Johnston has established his headquarters, and where, I presume, he intends to make a stand against the enemy. Our scattered columns begin to come in rapidly, and in a few days we will be in good trim again. This is the Bowling Green army, and comprises, amongst others, the brigades of Gen. Breckinridge, Gen. Hardee, and Gen. Hindman. They are as brave and daring a set of fellows as ever trod the field. Before this reaches you, you will have heard of our disaster at Fort Donelson on Sunday morning. For three days did our little army, under the commands of Pillow, Floyd and Buckner, struggle with complete and brilliant success against the enemy, who out numbered our forces at least four to one. The enemy was driven from all his positions at the point of the bayonet, his batteries assaulted and taken, and hundreds of his mercenaries slaughtered upon the field. Never was there such a struggle upon this continent — never more daring heroism and unflinching courage

If they longer remain in Virginia, they begin to realize the fact that they will be expelled or captube no resting place for them this side of South Carolina. Upon two points depend their last chances in Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and those two points are Manassas and Nashville. Whether they evacuate or are expelled from their defensive line of Manassas, they lose Virginia and North Carolina; for the Unionists of both these States are waiting only for an opportunity to open upon their Richmond despotism a decisive fire in the rear.

, by fresh troops. It was determined best to surrender. Gen. Pillow and staff, Gen. Floyd, staff, and some fifteen hundred of his men made their escape. Gen. Buckner and nearly all the balance of our army were captured. This is certainly a great calamity — by far the worst of the war — but it must not discourage our people, or dim for a moment the prospects of the Southern Confederacy. Ten millions of people, whose blood flows in the veins of those whose deeds have rendered immortal Donelson, and its bills and valleys and streams, can never be conquered. The enemy will exult, but he never won a dearer victory. His loss was tremendous, and far exceeded ours. Twenty-five hundred will not, perhaps, cover his killed alone. It will necessarily cause the fall of Nashville, and the surrender, for a time, of a portion of Tennessee, but the enemy has a long road to travel before he penetrates the heart of the "rebellion." Our people, however, must arouse themselves to a m

He can now serve out his second term, and is justly entitled to the appellation of "an old offender." The capture of C. Jennings Wise. When the Zouaves had brought back the boats that were endeavoring to escape through Shallow Rock Bay, Wise, mortally wounded, was taken to the house of Mr. Samuel Jarvis, which had been converted into a hospital for the rebel wounded. He was shot in the arm, both legs, and mortally wounded in the left breast, the latter being the result of the Zouaves' fire. General Burnside shortly after visited Wise and assured him that everything due to his position as a wounded prisoner would be cheerfully accorded him. The wounded rebel was too low and weak to be conscious of the fact that the soldiers of the nation against which he had raised his treasonabl

Their capture is a terrible blow to the Clite of Richmond, and will be felt there as the capture of the Seventh regiment would be felt in New York. They are the identical company which treated the Seventh to champagne shower baths when they went to Richmond to escort back the remains of President Monroe; and who, on a previous occasion, entertained the Knights Templar of Boston and Providence when the latter visited Richmond. I saw among them many high-strung, chivalrous young men, who seemed gratified that their enemies did not immediately put them to death. One of them generously offered me his entire pulse of King Jeff's treasury notes, to be used for his personal convenience when he arrived at Fort Lafayette, but not being aware that such currency was received on deposit in Wall

Capt. Johnson, of North Carolina, was one of those captured at Hatteras, and was only released from Fort Warren by exchange on the 10th of January last. He immediately rejoined what was left of his old regiment, and got in just in time to be taken again.-was not long before plenty of ammunition was at hand, and now they prepared them. We fought four days, and were up four nights, and under such circumstances a man might fall asleep whilst firing a gun and our Generals (Pillow, Bruckner, and Johnson) knew that a surrender was almost inevitable. General Floyd said he wouldn't surrender, and took his original division, Col. Wharton, and Col. McCausland, and started for Nashville. I fear that one of his regiments, the 20th Mississippi, w
