Honorable Scars.

1t will be recollected that the Cincinnati,
the flag gunboat of Com. Foote'S feet, was
the special mark Of the rebels, and received
thirty-one shots out Of about Fifty Of which
the whole feet bear the marks. Gen. Thigh
man gave as one reason for the concentra-
ton of fire upon the flag ship, the fact that
she seemed to have got better range than
any of the other boats, and that her fire,
just before tho surrender, was most terrific.
A Cairo correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat writes:
The Cincinnati bears many honorable
scars. Several shots have left their marks
upon her iron plated sides, showing in each
case shallow and raking dent. One of
her largest guns was struck on the right side
of its muzzle, the shot chipping out piece
of tho metal as large as mans two hands,
and actually splitting the muzzle eighteen
inches down from the mouth. This will
disable the gun entirely. Another gun,
32-pounder, | believe bears deep dent on
its side, about eighteen inches from the
mouth. Just behind the forward port gun,
and where the sides Of the boat arc not
covered with iron, several shots have gone
entirely through the bulwarks. One of
these completely decapitated one of the
gunners. Another passed through the bull
warks, scattered the splinters right and left,
glancing along the timbers over the machin-
cry, and passing into the wheel, but not
doing much damage.
The most terrible effect of the enemy's
FIRE upon the Cincinnati is seen on her upper
works, the deck seeming to have been swept
with the destructive missiles, the smoke
stacks pierced in several places, and the
small boats riddled aud almost destroyed
One large shot struck the iron-plated pilot
house, leaving an ugly mark but doing no
damage. The eoncussion was violent, and
is described by the pilots as surprising the
Commodore and them iuto a very decided
grant. But ono man was killed outright
on the Cincinnati. A few were wounded
with splinters, Capt. Pratt was badly hurt
by spent ball striking bis leg. The men
describe the crash of the balls through the
timbeFs of the vessel as terrible sound,
but none of them fiinched, say the officers,
but the party manning the gun at which
one Of their number was beheaded. Al
the ghastly sight they scattered and fell
back for amoment but Immediately rallied
and stood their ground. The Cincinnati
eame into port with the large rebel flag Ay-
ing under the Stars and Stripes, her appear
ance being greeted with many cheers and
congratulations among the persons on the
Cairo levee.

The Kentucky Legislature on q Render.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
setie gives . very graphic account Of how
tho news Of tho evacuation Of Bowling
Green and the surrender Of Fort Donelssp
WAS received by the Legislature Of Ken
lucky. At tho time Of the adjournment,
they had only hoard Of Bowling Green
We make the following extracts;
After the adjournment Of tho Legislature
the town was, to say theleast, lively. Bum
per upon bumper Of ''pure old Bourbon"
was swallowed to the toast: "Eres TO
Shoneral Mishel an is bray and gallan
tarmy" as a7sse-4
! In tho midst Of these festivities des-
patch was received announcing that Fort
! Donelson had surrendered. The scene that
took place then, beggars description. Tho
voices Of tho Union citizens OF tho town
and those of the Legislature, intermingled
in one continuous cheer. Even the Union
1 ladies at the Capital Hotel, the headquart-
ers, with beaming countenances and
waving hankerchiefs, expressed their joy
s'Here's 10 "Abambam Link horn, God
| bless him" cafne from scores Of stentorian
lungs, owned by the most ultra pro Slavery
mon. Another toast "Jeff Davis and hell,
iuseparable in life, in death may they not
be divided" "Up my honest ole Dabe,
God bless your rail-splitting SOUL" came
from another quarter. "Boolec for Edwil
NJ. Stantle," could occasionally be heard
through the general din. One hundred
and fifty guns were fred in front of State
Arsenal Music paraded the streets and
patriotic speeches were made suitable TOR
the occasion.
In tho meantime night came on apace,
and the suky and suIen Sccesh began to
emerge from their holes, looking as mean
as Secession really is. One by one they
dropped into Powell's Saloon, "their head
quarters" and after imbibing sundry times
commenced telling better. They did not
believe the news; il was add Lincoln,
&c. After little thoy commenced shout
ing for JEFF. Davis. While engaged in this
pastime, two Union members Of the Legis-
iature, both disciples of Hippocrates, hap
pened to drop into Powell's (who keeps
good whisky, by-the-bye). They could not
stand these JEFF. Davis, shouts. Ono Of
them assuming command, formed his com
rade in line of battle, drew fifteen-inch
bowie and thus addressed the crowd:
"Attention, Rebels! JEFF. Davis is play
cd out, and must not be cheered or toasted
in these United States. He'll is the pro.
per place for him to be toasted in. About
face, file right, (pointing to the door, double
| quick, forward march"
A few pistols were heard to click, but
not a shot was fred. The Secesh embraced
the better part Of or-discretion--and
evacuated, leaving our NJ. DIS masters of
the field, now known as "Fort POWELL
They took large quantity of whisky, oys-
ters, cigars, &c. Ono of them is already
known to fame as "the hero of Fort Pow
ell" and l suppose the other will be desig-
mated as the "gallant six hundred" as he
offered to bet freely that he could whip six
hundred rebels.
