General Buell, we understand, goes with General McCook's division to take command in person on the Cumberland, where our forces will, by to-morrow, number 80,000 men.

The officers and men in this hotly contested but unequal fight, behaved with the greatest gallantry and determination, all deploring the accident which rendered two of our gunboats suddenly helpless in the narrow and swift current. In consultation with Gen. Grant and my own officers here, I determined to retire until we could repair damages by bringing up a competent force from Cairo to attack the fort.
