Fort Donelson (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 2
often happened at the close of a battle that we have been able to secure bundles of letters, written from various parts of the North to friends in the army. In perusing these one cannot fail to be amused with the unaffected disclosures of truths and opinions found written and enlarged upon on paper — At Bull Run, Manassas, and Leesburg many of these epistles fell into our hands, all speaking more or less timidly and with battle hope for the Federal cause; but since the fall of Fort Henry, Donelson, &c., the character of sentiment has very much changed — thus showing that while be fore those untoward events their tone and expectations were humble, yet now the successes or the Western army have inspired McClellan's man with unlimited ideas of conquest and spoliation. There is undoubtedly great suffering at the North, as evidenced in the many calls made upon the soldiery for small some of money to keep their families and kinsfolk from cheer starvation, and many other items of great int

we have not at present time or space to enlarge upon. We subjoin brief extracts from a journal: "Our army is laying everything wants in their march, and innumerable fields of grain are totally ruined. We staid in several fine-looking dwellings on the route — owners fled, leaving directions to have everything burned up. The loss to property is great, yet it can't be helped — everything is 'ours' for the present, and all we can say is, 'The way of the transgressor is hard?' " "Chickahominy-Camp, May 13th.--We are expecting a battle very soon now, and it will probably be a hard one. If the rebels make up their minds to fight us here at Richmond, they will do their best, and there is no use or sense in saying or denying that they can fight. They are Americans as well as ourselves, and Americans are not cowards. The coming battle will probably decide the war if we are successful; but if they whip us, the war will last no one knows how long." Extracts from another jour

Your eldest daughter, Lizzie, has got a nice situation to teach school--$8 per month and board, but, then, board is something these times." &I wish the d — d rebels were all in h--," writes another. "This cursed rebellion has knocked things into a cocked hat — the men have little to do and the women seem to have gone crazy, or something worse. Nothing doing in Lowell, I hear, and 3,000 girls without bread to eat. Don't believe it, Jack, the rebels will fight. I know 'em, and I shall feel glad if ever I get to Boston again. This all comes of them d — d Abolitionists, and now the Union is gone, collapsed, kerflumxed — gone up, and Old Abe nor all of 'em can bring it back again, so there's no use of any more gassing.

"Wednesday Evening, May 28.--The report about Major Kelly was too true. He was brigade officer of the day, and it was his duty to visit all the outposts.
