ightfall alone prevented us from occupying with our rifled artillery, which would readily have commanded the enemy's main works. This repulse from the ground so hardly won in the forenoon, and probably still more our possession of a vantage gained within their lines, induced the enemy to capitulate on the morning of the sixteenth. J. D. Webster, Chief of Staff. Report of General Lewis Wallace. headquarters Third division U. S. Forces, District of West-Tennessee Fort Henry, February 20, 1862. Capt. John A. Rawlins, Asst.

Incomplete as the above account necessarily is, from the limited opportunity afforded the narrator for seeing the general movements upon an extended battle-field, it will not be devoid of interest, and may possibly shed fresh light upon the sad reverse we have experienced. Richmond dispatch account. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 22, 1862. I have just obtained the following particulars of the fight at Fort Donelson from an eye-witness and participant, which will doubtless be welcome to the readers of the Dispatch as the first news from a Southern source. Fort Donelson is on the Cumberland River, two miles from the town of Dover. The surrounding country is a succession of hills, heavily timbered in places, but for the most part covered with small trees and brushwood. This had been levelled to allow the play of arti

t Donelson, until official reports could be received. I regret that the information now furnished is so defective. In the mean time, hopeful that satisfactory explanation may be made, I have directed, upon the exhibition of the case as presented by the two senior Generals, that they should be relieved from command, to await further orders whenever a reliable judgment can be rendered on the merits of the case. Jefferson Davis. Report of John B. Floyd. Camp near Murfrersboro, February 27, 1862. General A. S. Johnston: sir: Your order of the twelfth of this month, transmitted to me by telegraph from Bowling Green to Cumberland City, reached me the same evening. It directed me to repair at once, with what force I could command, to the support of the garrison at Fort Donelson. I immediately prepared for my departure, and effected it in time to reach Fort Donelson the next morning, thirteenth, before daylight. Measures had been already taken by Brig.-General Pillow, then i

Sincerely hoping the General may prove as fortunate in every battle he may have occasion to fight, I beg leave to congratulate him on his success in this one, and subscribe myself, Most respectfully, His very obedient servant, Lewis Wallace, General Third Division. The following is the congratulatory order of General Wallace: headquarters Third division, District of West-Tennessee, February 28, 1862. Soldiers of the Third Division: It was my good fortune to command you at the capture of Fort Donelson. Sickness has kept me from thanking you for the patience, endurance, courage, and discipline you showed on that occasion. The country, ringing with the glory of that victory, thanks you, and its thanks are indeed precious! You were last to arrive before the Fort; but it will be long before your deeds are forgotten.

ntil nature itself was exhausted, in what they knew to be a desperate fight against a foe very many times their superior in numbers. I cannot particularize instances of heroic daring performed by both officers and men, but must content myself for the present by saying, in my judgment, they all deserve well of the country.

ding Department of Kansas, at Fort Leavenworth: To you, more than any other man out of this department, are we indebted for our success at Fort Donelson. In my strait for troops to reenforce Gen.
