Particulars Concerning the Rebel
Generals at Ft. DOnelSOH.

Gen. Buckner the other day, at JEFF
~fersonville, Indiana, expressed the opin-
ion unreservedly that he owed his cap
ture to the folly of Gen. Pillow. The
commanders of the rebel forces at Fort
Donelson agreed upon a plan of retreat,
after they became satisfied they could
not WIN the battle. Pillow, with his for
ces was to attack and cut his way through
the right flank of the Federal forces, and
at a given period, was to signal to Gen.
Buckner, who was to attempt a similar
feat. Pillow succeeded partially, but in
the weakness of his-joy over his own
escape, neglected the signal and set
about telegraphing a report southwark
that be had one a great victory, In that
deludi0g his rebel friends, for he was
driven back to his old quarters, and only
escaped by stealing out at night.
Gen Buckner states that the Opportu-
nifty was rendered him and his staff to
make their escape with Gems. Pillow,
and Floyd, and the plan was submitted
to the officers. After consultation, they.
with a single exceptiyn, determined tc
share the fate of their men.

What SIaYerY DOES.

Out of sixty-eight Confederate prison
ers, taken by Captain Oliver at the Blue
Springs settlement, in Jackson county,
Missouri, only fourteen could write their
names. The written vouchers for this
fact are in the city, and can be exhibited.
The large proportion of the prisoners
from Fort Donelson, who cannot read, is
notorious. THIS is one Of the saddest
fruits of slavery, and of the character of
material composing the staple of rebellion
which this war has yet revealed. A free
and popular government cannot prosper
with an ~uneducated people, and the ten
dency of slavery is to enshroud them in
ienorance.-S. Louis Democrat.

Certainly we prefer to follow the ad-

Quoting the war. 1t is the business, and
duty, and right of the military chiefs to
plan and direct the proper measures in
the exigency. If they say fight, we say
fight; if they say retreat, we acquiesce,
however painful it may be; if they say
tear up the railroads, so we say If they

they order the country to be laid waste,
