The fort is surrounded by high and steep
hills, heavily wooded, and protected by two
redoubts, with trenches and rifle pits.
The rebels gave battle from their cntrenchs
ments on the south side Of the fort.
They were driven in after severe battle,
and considerable loss on both sides.
Our troops held two Of the rebel batteries
outside of the fort.
Our loss is probably only about forty-fv
killed and one hundred and ffty-two wound
cd.
Eighl thousand troops aud four gunboats are
rived last night.
The battle will te resumed to-day with
these reinfoTcements.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 5 p. M.-Tosday

Of fifty thousand men, aided BY the noble feet
ct Commodore Foote, aud anticipating Its
speedy Reduction.
Gen. Halleck sayssth Gems. Pillow, Floyd
and Buckner, are in the fort, with a force of
ffteeE thousand men, and he is evidently of
the opinion that bis arrangements TO cut then
of from reiuforcements will surely be sue
eessful.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINoToN, Feb. 1.-THE announcement
of the great victory at Fort Donelson TO Con-
gress by Gen. Mcclellan, has caused the most
intense excitement.
In the Senate, the galleries were crowded,
and the mass of spectators rose and gave one
tremendous cheer, which was followed by other
shouts of applause.
The Vice President said that such demon
stretious ought not to Interfere with busi-
ness.
Great laughter was caused BY the fact that
the thief Floyd was stated to have stolen
march on the occasion Of the battle, and es.
capped from the Fort.
In the House, the scene was equally enthu-
siastc. The members warmly congratulated
each other and collected in joyous groups.
The news has reached the Departments and
has become known on the streets, creating an
npaIalelled excitement aud joy.
