He was division engineer on the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, and assistant engineer in the survey of the Norfolk and Wilmington Canal, of the Eastern Shore Railroad, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and on other prominent works of public improvement.

Lloyd Tilghman and his staff, with sixty men, as prisoners. The surrender to the gun-boats was unconditional, as we kept an open fire upon the enemy until their flag was struck. In half an hour after the surrender I handed the fort and prisoners over to Gen. Grant, commanding the army, on his arrival at the fort in force. The Essex had a shot in her boilers, after fig

The pursuit — Unfaithfulness of Confederates. Paducah, Ky., Feb. 7. --Gen. Smith on the west, and Gen. Grant on the east side of the Tennessee river, are pursuing the retreating rebels. It is reported and credited by some of our officers, that the rebel troops at Fort Henry were not true to the rebel cause, and took adwith twenty guns and seventeen mortars, was defended by Gen. Tighman with the most determined gallantry. I have sent Lieutenant commanding Phillips and three gun-boats after the rebel gun-boats. A. H. Foote Flag Officer. Movements of Gen. Smith's brigade.

The latest from Washington--Federal account of another Skirmism on the Potomac--Sixteen Confederated made prisoners The telegraphic correspondence of the Herald, from Washington, February 7th, has the following: A cavalry regiment attached to General Smith's division accomplished a brilliant connoisance this morning. In their absent they killed one rebel and wounded several besides capturing sixteen prisoners, twelve horses, and one wagon. At 4 o'clock, slaven companies of the Cameron Dragoons, Col.

In the engagement the Cincinnati was in the lead, and, flying the Flag-Officer's pennant, was the chief mark. Flag-Officer Foote and Captain Stembel crowded her defiantly into the teeth of the enemy's guns. She got thirty-one shots, some of them going completely through her.

reconnoisance. The occupation of Smithland. General Grant ordered the occupation of Smithland, the location of which we have already stated, as that point occupies a central position, and is of considerable straisgical value, as a force stationed there would be at all times ready to co-operate with any movement, either on the Tennessee or Cumberland river, as circumstances might require. Thus it will be seen, from the brief resume of the movements of the several brigades of Gen. Grants first expedition towards Columbus, it was not, as some supposed, a failure, but, on the contrary, was a decided success in the objects for which it left Cairo. The second expedition, the result of which we now record, was based upon the information derived from the first, and its grand and glorious result has ere this sent a thrill of gladness throughout the loyal States of the Union. It must be remembered, also, by our readers, that what has now been accomplished has been done by ou

, cuts off the communication between Memphis and Bowling Green, from which the latter is depencent for its supplies, and isolates Columbus from Bowling Green; so that for all military purposes communication is cut off between the rebels-at these points. No doubt the Federal force will push on until they reach the Nashville and Memphis Railroad, near Camden, Tenn.--This point, once in our possession, will cut off Hickman and Memphis from Nashville. This accomplished, then good-bye to Gens, Johnston, Beauregard, Buckner, and the rebel host. There will be no necessity then to attack Columbus or Bowling Green.--Starvation will do the work. The New Orleans Delta, in a late edition, says:" The safety of the whole South depends on the result of the battle at Columbus. This place once taken, there can be no effectual resistance at other points." In military philosophy a position turned and besieged is equal to a place captured. Hence, according to the New Orleans Delta, the safety of the

On the opposite side of the river are three hills, which completely command the fort. Recently some new fortifications were commenced on these hills, where it was intended to mount some very large guns and three rifled cannon. The late rebel garrison was composed as follows: Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, commanding. Staff. Captain Powhatan Ellis, Assistant Adjutant General. Captain S. C. Morris, Aid-de-Camp. Troops. Fourth Mississippi regiment. Seventh Mississippi regiment. Regiment Louisiana Volunteers. First Kentucky Volunteers. One regiment rebel cavalry. Damage to the gun-boats.
