By this time three of the boats were disabled, and then the signal was given to back out and return to our anchored. The enemy's lower battery was silenced, however, and only the two one hundred and twenty-pounders on the hill were playing upon us, and it is universally conceded that if we had ten minutes more time Fort Donelson would have fared the fate of Fort Henry, and the Cumberland river been opened and divested of its rebel embargo. Commodore Foote tells me that he has commanded at the taking of six forts, and has been in several naval engagements; but he never was under so severe a fire before. Fifty seven shots struck his vessel, his upper works were riddled, and his lower decks strewn with the dead and wounded.--We count no less than thirty-seven shots which struck our own vessel, the Louisville, while, in all, over one hundred shot and shell took effect upon

The battle at Fort Donelson.Federal Accounts. We make some further extracts from the Yankee newspapers in our possession, which it will be seen, readily admit the desperate fighting on the part of the Confederate troops, at Fort Donelson. The following is an extract from a letter dated Feb. 14, written by a person who witnessed the naval engagement: The flagship St. Louis took the advance, and was hugging the western shore; then came our own (the Louisville,) then the Pittsburgh and n to back out and return to our anchored. The enemy's lower battery was silenced, however, and only the two one hundred and twenty-pounders on the hill were playing upon us, and it is universally conceded that if we had ten minutes more time Fort Donelson would have fared the fate of Fort Henry, and the Cumberland river been opened and divested of its rebel embargo.

The enemy concentrated his main force on our right, to turn it, which was done by our men getting out of ammunition, and the confusion created in getting up reinforcements. The division retreated about half a mile. As soon as McClernand

One of the one my's shells entered and exploded directly in the pilot-house of the St. Louis, killing the pilot and wounding Flag Officer Foote severely in the leg. Two of the shots entered the Pittsburg below the guards, causing her to leak badly, and it is probable that she will sink before morning.
