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. And such are the prospects under which, on this anniversary of the birth of Washington, Jeff. Davis is to be inaugurated in Richmond as President, for six years, of a Southern Confederacy which will probably be reduced to its birthplace, the swamps of South Carolina, within less than six weeks.

He led the charge upon a battery, took it, and brought it within our breastworks; and lost, in doing so, 72 men, killed and wounded, out of 300 ! Such is the gallant spirit of old Virginia. 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.)

But our boys took their fire without any ammunition, eagerly awaiting their nearer approach that they might " as they call it But they didn't give them a chance. The Yankees fell back, and it 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, was taken. I rode over, the battle-field. There were over 1,000 Yankees left dead? To give a correct idea of the number killed I ought to say 5,000. I rode over the field on which the battle (outside the breastworks) was fought

ey 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 messant fighting, without food or fire, found themselves entirely surrounded, and in part, 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

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. 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 Sund

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 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 prisonerWise 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
