Springfield, and, after a brief resistance, the rebels fled, leaving the road strewn with their wagons and baggage. Gen. Curtis reports having taken more prisoners than he knows what to do with. Particulars of the Retaking of Springfield. St. Louis, Feb. 16. --A special dispatch to the Democrat, dated Springfield, 15th, says:--Our army under Gen. Curtis marched from Lebanon on the 10th and formed in three divisions, the right under Colonel Jeff. C. Davis, the left under Colonel Carr, and the centre under General Siegel. Six miles from Springfield, on the 12th, a skirmish took place between our advance and a party of rebels, in which nine of the latter were killed, and one or our men was slightly wounded. At sunset on the same day 300 of the enemy attacked our pickets, but were driven back with a loss of three. This was regarded as the commencement of the battle, and two hundred cavalry and infantry, with a battery of artillery, were sent forward. The batt
ooming Gap.--We ran down and captured seventeen (17) commissioned officers — among them Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels, Captains, &c. I will forward a description list. We engaged them with four hundred cavalry. Our infantry were not near enough to support the cavalry, and the enemy were retiring. We have in all seventy-five prisoners, and killed thirteen of the enemy. We lost two men and six horses at their first fire. I led the charge in person. It was a complete surprise. Col. Carroll, commanding the 5th or 8th Ohio, made a very daring and successful reconnaissance immediately afterwards, to Unger's store. Major Frothingham is entitled to great credit for building, under my direction, in four hours in the dead of night, a complete bridge across the Great Cacapon, at an unfrequented mountain road. Two columns of 2,000 men each, marched thirty-two miles--one column forty-three miles--since 4 P. M. yesterday, besides bridging the river. We made a move and occupied

We made a move and occupied the Bloomery Gap and Point Mills east, on the belief (by information obtained from deserters) that General Casson's brigade was there. Gen. Dunning has just arrived at New creek from Moorefield, forty miles south of Romney. He has captured 225 beef battle, and broke up the guerilla haunt there. Two of his men were badly wounded. He killed several of the rebels. The enemy have thus been driven out of this department. F. W. Lander, Brig.-Gen. Skirmish in Western Virginia.

While he presses the enemy on the Cumberland with his tremendous force, their flank and rear are pressed by the heavy divisions under General Mitchell and General Nelson. Since writing the above, we learn that ten regiments now in the Ohio camps are ordered at once to the Cumberland. Washington, Feb. 17.--In the House, this morning, Mr. Colfax asked and readily obtained permission to make a statement relative to Fort Donelson, [profound silence.] He said that Gen. McClellan had authorized him to inform the House that he had just received a dispatch from Cairo informing him of the arrival of the gunboat Carondolet at that place this morning, bringing the news of the capture of Fort Donelson on yesterday by the land forces of the United States, with fifteen thousand prisoners, including Gen. A. Sidney Johnston and Gen. Buckne

Louisville, Saturday, Feb. 15, 1862. To Maj.-Gen. McClellan: Mitchell's Division, by a forced march, reached the river at Bowling Green to-day, making a bridge to cross. The enemy had burnt the bridge at 1 o'clock in the morning, and were evacuating the place when he arrived. D. C. Buell, Brig.-Gen. Comd'g. [From the Washington Star, of Saturday.] Just as the Star goes to press to-day, the General-in-Chief has received a dispatch from Gen. Buell, announcing that his advance, under Gen. Mitchell, reached the river opposite Bowling Green yesterday by a forced march. The enemy, fearing the passage of his force across the river by the remaining bridge there, burned that immediately, or sufficient of it to render it impassable. Gen. Mitchell at once set about constru

They first began to evacuate the place about a week ago to-day, when Floyd and his division marched out, apparently to the latter good. After these had gone there was not a very great force remaining — certainly not over ten thousand men. These as ... The rebel evacuation of Bowling Green was a "military necessity." The flank movements of Generals Thomas and Crittenden, and the rear operations of Commodore Foote and General Grant, rendered the place untenable. A few days more, and the rebels would have been taken in their stronghold.--It is unfortunate that they have been allowed to escape. But from General Buell's reticence, and his interdiction upon the telegraph, it looks as though he was carrying out some plan to prevent their rallying again at any other point, if not of overtaking them. This evacuation is certainly a very lame and impotent conclu
