Our fighting at Fort Donelson.

--A telegraphic dispatch, published in the New York Times, dated Cairo, says:

‘ There remain only sixteen members of Company G. Eleventh Illinois regiment, who are not killed or wounded or taken prisoners; and of the whole regiment not over one hundred and forty effective men are left.

If this does not prove good fighting on the part of the Confederate troops, we know not where to look for proof.
