Justas we go to press to-day, Gen. Mcclellan has
received dispatch from the General command
ing at Cairo, announcing that on yesterday the
two remaining works at Fort Donelson had sur
rendered to Gen. Grant.
The total number OF prisoners taken Is about
5000. The two principal general officers who
surrendered there are General A. Sidney Johnson
and Gen. Buckner.
Gen. John B. Floyd, anticipating the neccssi-
ty for the surrender, managed to make his escape
on Saturday last.
News Of this most important event Of the war
30 far, reached Gen. Mcclellan an hour before
this positive and oficial dispatch, when he was
telegraphed of IL by Mr. StageT, Army Supcrln.
