The troops on the right were disposed as follows: First, McArthur's brigade, consisting of the 9th, 12th and 41st Illinois, having temporarily attached the 17th and 19th Illinois. Next came Oglesby's brigade, the 8th, 18th, 29th, 30th and 31th Illinois, and Schwartz's and Dresser's batteries. Next, Col. W. H. L. Wallace's brigade, the 11th, 12th, 45th and 48th Illinois, and Taylor's and McAllister's batteries. These three brigades composed McClenand's division, and bore the brunt of the battle. The enemy concentrated his main force on our right, to turn it, which was done by our men getting out of ammunition, and the confusion created in getting up reinforcements. The division retreated about half a mile. As soon as McClernand's division, who had stood their ground so manfully for three hours, retired to procure ammunition, the enemy occupied the field.

As the rebels supposing we were on the retreat, came yelling out of their works into the road, the Chicago boys poured a hailstorm of grape and cannister into them, slaughtering dozens of them. Simultaneously with this, the infantry commenced firing at will, and the rebels went pull their back into their works, our men advancing and taking possession of the ground lost, and a hil

The battle at Fort Donelson.Federal Accounts. We make some further extracts from the Yankee newspapers in our possession, which it will be seen, readily admit the desperate fighting on the part of the Confederate troops, at Fort Donelson. The following is an extract from a letter dated Feb. 14, written by a person who witnessed the naval engagement: The flagship St. Louis took the advance, and was hugging the western shore; then came our own (the Louisville,) then the Pittsburgh and Carbondale, in order, as near side by side as was possible, in a river scarcely wide enough for two boats to pass each other.
