readers are aware, has been for some time past serving with the army in the West: Murfreesboro, Tenn., Feb. 17, 1862. We have fallen back to this place, 32 miles East Nashville, 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 batterie

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 treasonable hand were now his friends, ready to minister to him in his dying hour. The loss of the enemy is, without doubt, much below ours. They had their usual advantage of fighting behind breast works, against which o

Then, the 51st regiment, Col Massle's, lost in the fight, 51 out of 250; and are 56th, 41 out of 300; Col. Reld led the regiment, (its gallant Maj. Thorburn at the time very sick, and was wounded in a charge he had made.) I should have said that Col. McCausland commanded the 2d brigade, of which the 56th regiment was a part. The 96th was commanded by Major Smith, ex-Governor's son. I have not ascertained the loss of the 50th, but it was about the same as that of the others. We took three batteries and brought them inside our works. I must not fail to call particular attention to Col. Wharton, who commanded the 1st brigade (Floyd's.) He charged the enemy in their position, and lost 44 men out of 600 in doing so. Col. Forrest's cavalry of Tennessee, took one battery. It was nobly done, I was an eye-witness!

tory. This panic is like that of an unearthed colony of rats, scampering wildly in every direction, hither and thither, within a circle of rat catchers, and beaten back at every point. Our Baltimore correspondent informs us, for example, that Beauregard has drawn off thirty thousand men from Manassas to the defence of Nashville, that his forces there already amount to sixty thousand men, and that he is fortifying the place for a stubborn resistance; while, from other sources, it appears more p 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. 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

What a sight it was to see the 2d Kentucky regiment charge over the breastworks after the Lincoln I was in ten feet of them when the order was given by General Floyd to charge! What a grand sight! Then we chased the Yankees about two miles! I never saw the like! But our soldiers had now been fighting for four days! They were exhausted, they could pursue them no farther, and we were compelled to go

The Roanoke Island Captures. Under the heading of Capture of "F. F. V's" a recent Northern account says: The prisoners captured in the Forty-sixth and the Fifty-ninth Virginia Regiment comprise a greater portion of the genuine fire-eaters than have before fallen into our hands. The Adjutant of the regiment, Henry A Wise, Jr., is a tall, fine appearing young man, and nephew of the ex- Governor, who happens to have a son of the same name. Company A, commanded heretofore by Capt. O. Jennings Wise, is known at home as the Richmond Light Infantry Blues, and comprises many of the first and most prominent young men of that city. 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

They lost three officers killed and eight wounded--all Captains and Lieutenants. A Southern account of Affairs in Tennessee. The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, which came to hand last night, contains the following account of the state of affairs in Tennessee, written by its editor, Mr. Glass, who, as our readers are aware, has been for some time past serving with the army in the West: Murfreesboro, Tenn., Feb. 17, 1862.
