CINCINNATI, Feb. u.


Special dispatches to the Gazette and Com
merc'dl dated Fort Henry the 10Th inst, give
the following accounts of the expedition up the
Tennessee River.
After the capture Of Fort Henry, the gun
boats Lexington, Conestoga aud Tyler gave
chase to the rebel steamer Dunbar. Reaehng
the Memphis and Louisville railroad bridge
our troops took quantity of stores, &c., aud
passed on in chase of the Dunbsr, but did not
overtske her. 1t is supposed that she escaped
bY running into some creek during the night.
The gunboats went to Florence, Ala. at the
head Of navigation, and distance of $50 miles
from Paducah.
Everywhere along the river they were re-
ceived with hearty welcome from numerous
Union families. In southern Tennessee aud
north Alabama aud at towns along the river
the old flag was looked upon as a redeemer and
hailed with shouts of joy.
Capt. Ggin of the gunboat Tyler recruited
30 men for service on the gunboats and
says be can get enough to man the whole
feet.
The people Of Florence were so delighted at
finding tbe stars and stripes once mors their
protection, that were prepared 10 give a ball
to The officers of the gunboats, but the latter
could not remain to accept their courusics.---
However, our boats landed, and when the peo-
pie became esfuIed that We did cot come to de-
stroy but to save, they seemed to have 30 means
too cxtravagant 70 express their delight aud
JOY.
Our boats captured four steamers incln.
ding an unfinished guObost, and burned seven
others.

MED WIN TER.


The speckled sky is dim with snow,
The hight flakes ialteE and iall slow;
AihwaH the hilltop; #apt and pale,
Silently the far-off mountains misty form
Is entering now tent of storm;
And all the valley is shut 10
BY fiekeriDg curtains gray and thin.
But cheenly the chickadee
Singeth to me on fence and tree.
The snow sails round him as he sings
White as the down OF angels wioqs
watch the snow fakes as they fall
On bank and bFier and broken wall:
Over the orchard, waste and brown,
All noiseessly they settle down,
Tipping the apple boughs, and each
Light quIvering twig OF plum and peach.
On turf and curb he bower-roof
ne snoW-stortn spreads it's ivory wool;
II Payes with pearl the garden-waIk;
1And lovingly round latieTed stalk
And shivering steam IFS magic weaves
Asmantle iair as lily leaves.
The hooded BEEHIVE, small and low,
Stauds like maiden in the snow,
SAiu tuS Otu dooi-Stdp IS nan MA
Under an alabaster lid.
All day il SHOWS: the sheeted post
Cleans in the dimess like ghost;
All day The blasted oak has stood
A muftted wizard of the wood;
Garland and airy cap adorn
The sumach and the wayside thorn,
And clustering spangles lodge and shine
In the dark iresses of the pine.
The ragged bramble, dwarfed and old,
SnHnks like beggar in the cold
In suFplice white the cedar stands,
And blesses him with priestly hands.
Still cheerily the chickadee
ze5ngeih 10 me on ience aud tree:
Butiu my inmost ear is card
The music of boiler bird
And heavenly thoughts, as soft and white,
AS snow-fiakes, 90 my soul alight,
Clothing with love my lonely heart,
Healing win peace each bruised part,
I'LL al! my being seems TO be
IranstguFed By their purity.
