OUR C0UNTRI-TO TIE RESCUE.
HEADQUARTERS PoINrE CorrEE ARTILLERY,
Columbus. ky., Feb. II, 1862.

Columbus, Ny. ftb. Il, 1917.
BY reference to the authority hereto, annexed.
it win be seen that | am authorized 70 raise
twelve hundred infantry and two hundred caval-
~. for the purpose Of being Incorporated Into a
separate command with the pointc Coupec Bat
TALON of Artillery. in order to form Il legion
that will. within itself. have the power to assault
an enemy, or defend itself against an invading
foe.
propose that this legion shall consist of the
Pointe Coupee Battalion Of twelve bras guns.
now in the field, two battalions of infantry of six
companies each, and two companies of cavalry.
The battalions OF infantry will each elect one
lieutenant colonel, one major. and fill the usual
staff appointments. The company officers will
be elected by their separate commands. IN adj
clifton to the usual pay, each soldier will receive
a bounty of $50. The cavalry companies will
furnish their own horses.
The necessary arms will be furnished to the
several commands as soon asSthcy report at the
headquarters. An opportunity here presents it
self to those who wish to enter the Confederate
service, and be at once united with a separate
command at the seat of war. 1t gives an oppor-
tunity to brave and patriotic citizens to rally
around the banner of their country. in defense OF
their wives, children, and their tresides.
In orderto complete the legion at as early a
dav as possible, / will receive companies or
squads. and will furnish them with the necessary
transportation to join me here or wherever |
may be ordered. Captains of companies will
muster in their own commands, and report at
these headquarters.
Fellow citizens, I am not Influenced to raise
this additional force in consequence of the re-
verses our arms have recently sustained, as they
are trivial in any aspect presented; but | believe
it is the duty of every true patriot to swell the
forces of defense, and bring them to the field to
defend the cause of our country and our1fod
Our ability to do so is amply sufficient. One
united effort on the part of our countrymcn will
drive back or cxterminate q f%anatical foe, and
conquer an honorable and Christian peace.
1t is not to be expected tilat all can leave fol-
the seat of war, but those who from compulsion
are forced to remain behind. can assist me in
this laudable enterprise, and to such l am com:
PEELED to appeal for assistance, as my present
command demands my presence in the field.

THE BATTLE OF FORT DONELSON.
FORCES ENGAGED AND SURRENDERED.

We have managed to obtain an authentic list
of the troops engaged in the battle OF Fort Don
elson on the 18th inst, all of whom, with the eS-
ception of escaped %stragglers, surrendered with
Gen. Buckner on the day following.
Gen. Pillows division included Gen. Floyd's
brigade, and was composed as follows, 1--WE give
them as they were located in the intrenchments
from left to right:
The goth Miss. Regiment, 26th Miss, 18th Tenn.

Gen. Buckner's command constituted our right.
wing, and was composed of the following regi-
ments:
Sssopd Tennessee Regiment.
Fourteenth Mississippi Regiment.
Third Tennessee Regiment.
Eighteenth Tennessee Regiment.
.Thirty-second Tennessee Regiment.
Capt. Frank Manney's Tennessee battery was
alss engaged in the fight but we are not advised
as to its position.
Brig. Gen. B. II. johnson. of Kentucky, assisted
Gen. Pillow in the command of his division on
the day of battle.
Our total loss will thus be seen to be twenty
three regiments OF infantry and two batteries of
light artillery, of which were nine from Tennes-
see, six from Mississippi, three from Virginia,
two from Kentucky, one from Texas, one from
Alabama, and one from Arkansas.
All accounts concur in establishing the fact
that no battle that ever transpired on the Ameri-
can continent was more terrific, more fruitful of
deeds of daring and valor, or more hardly con-
tested than that at Fort Donelsun on Saturday,
the 18th day of February, 1862.
memphis Appeal.
TAsAppcal of Friday has the following para
graphs:
Since the first symptoms of panic, prevalent
upon the fall of Fort Donelson have slbsided,
orr peoplc have become more determined than
ever. Volunteering has become brisk, and re
cruiting progresses rapidly. We confidently
believe that Tennessee will put $4,000. men in
the field to drive back the invader, if that lumber
be needed.
One of the Federal prisoners, a member Of an
Illinois regiment, who was captured at Fort Don
olson and arrived in the city yesterday, asserts
that hut forty-eight of his regiment escaped nm
injured in the fight, all the rest being killed or
wounded. This is the most fearful loss sustained
by any one regiment during the war.
The Federal officers acknowledge a loss on
their side, in the Fort Donelson fight, of six thou
sand killed and wounded. But Federal privates
say they had ten thousand placed hors de COM
lat. Some OF their regiments were literally cut
to pieces.
They admit that they felt whipped on satur-
day. but their endorsements gave them fresh
courage.
They say their gunboats suffered severely.
Thirty shots passed through the Cincinnati. The
Esse1 was a perfect slaughter pen.
Commodore Foote is satisfied that his boosted
iron-clad gunboats are insufficient for attacking
Columbus.

Southern CultiyatOr,
Anew Application Of Sulphurous Gas in
Clarifying Sugar.

MIR. 4. MELARCIIER, of the parish Of ST.
lHl James, has invented an apparatus, which
he offers to Sugar planters at a very low price
With this apparatus, Of the most improved
mechanism, the quantity of sulpburou gas to be
employed is so applied as to saturate the cane
juice in the most satisfactory manner. the great
desideratum heretofore never obtained.
Those wishing to subscribe for this apparatus
can examine for themselves the same in opera
tion Oh the plantation of Messrs. jules Druilllct
IL Co. st. James, Left Bank.
Mr.. Malarchcr is anxious that every sugar
planter should examine for himself the appara-
tus. as he firmly believes that it proves itself so
superior to any other method applied for the
manufacture of sugar, that he is sure it will be
universally used by planters. Sugar can be
manufactured for half the cost of bisulphate.
The following certificate is from a person who
has witnessed its working. and is fully compe-
tentto Judge in such matters:
The undersigned, Sugarmaker. recommends
to sugar planters the apparatus OF Nh. Malarcher
as being superior to any other yet used for the
manufacture Of sugar. The mechanism is of the
most simple character. The application OF the
suipliurors gas is such chat it does not fail TO
saturate and clarity. in The most satisfactory
manner. the cane juice. 1t is far superior to
bisllphate. THEoDlI.k MITE.
