GEN. PnLow.-T The telegraph item 10 the
effect that Gen. Pillow stole away from
Fort DonelsOn with Floyd, is doubtless az
error. Some weeks ago, an Eastern dis
patch informed US that Pillow had resign
ed, and this is confirmed by Intelligence re
ceived by mail. A letter dated at Colum-
bus, KY, Dec. Slst, says he resigned that
day, and Left the rebel army. The cores
pondent adds that the troops were almost
in tears when he took his departure, and
felt that their commander had been deeply
wrOnged and no other course was left bin.
II he was at Fort Donelson during the fight
il Is not probable he had any command.

Nor THE MEN.--The General johnson
taken prisoner at Fort DonelsOn was Bush
rod Johnson, Of Tennessee, and not A. S.
johnson, as was generally supposed. The
latter was lately cent to Kentucky, and
probably had command Of the troops at
Bowling Green. A private dispatch from
st. Louis informed US that Brigsdier Gen.
erOl Price bad been captured, leaving the
inference that It was Sterling Price; but
the dispatch to the associated Press states
that II was Edward Price, son OF Sterling
Price, who was captured. We thought II
rather strange that such ON old fox as Ster'
ling Price should allow himself to be caught
He has been In trap several times, but

It is our true policy to decoy the enemy into

feated and captured their armies, exhausted
their treasury, and cowed their spirits by defen-
sive warfare, it will be time for us to begin to
act on the offensive, and to invade their terri

and when we have well whipped the enemy

attention to those cities.

WINTER JOURNEY FROM SALMON RIvER.-
The Portland Ore gonian, of January 3Oth,
gives the details of journey from Salmon
river to the Dalles, by party which left
Florence City, December 10th. The nara
tive is partly derived from the Dalles Noun
taineer, and partly supplied by the messen-
ger of Taney Il Co.'S Express, who was a
part Of the time in the same company, and
who had reached Portland with three hun
dred pounds of gold dust:
There was no want of provisions at Salmon
river, and Walla Walla and the Dalles were well
supplied. The weather had been intensely cold
on the Upper Columbia; 80 degrees below zero
at the Dalles, and 35 to 40 degrees below zero
at points more remote. 1t was in such weather
and in deep snow, without sufficient food and
with broken down teams, that the poor fellows
whose sufferings are narrated, endeavored to
make their way back to the Dalles. The con-
dition Of the strugglers having been made known
at the Dalles upon the arrival of Mr.. Jno. James
messenger, and Mr.. H. S. Niles, the only per-
sons who escaped uninjured, relief parties we're
sent out, the sufferers rescued, and some of the
bodies Of the dead recovered. OF the latter are
F. M. Allphin, who leaves wife and two chill
dren on the Umatilla, Patrick Davis and ]. Z.
Jaeger, clerk in the hardware house of John F.
Foster, Portland. The latter leaves a wife and
one child. He was native Of New York, aged
rs years. The following gentlemen suffered
dreadfully, and several OF them have had to
submit to amputation of the feet: VIM. Riddle,
Dougal Mcdonald, II. Wellington, T. S. JEFF
fries, w. A. Moody, James GRAY, J. Mulkey, ].
E. Glover, H. C. Nichols. There we're also re-
ports at the Dalles, Of five or six others frozen
to death, of which no particulars were known.

the Salic law in force in that country. If the

Denmark will result in the union Of these two

DEPLoRABLE MIsTAKE.-A Chicago dis
patch, Of the 10Th inst, gives the particu-
lars of deplorable mistake, which happened
during the conflict at Fort Donelson:
A letter in this mornings Chicago Tribune,
from Fort DOnelson, says that when Col. Crafts
Brigade which had been ordered to reinforce
McClemand, came near the 30th and 3lst Hi
nois and 25th Kentucky, these regiments were
lying down firing over the crest Of the hill. They
rose, not knowing whether the force in their
rear were friends or foes. The 25th Kentucky,
supposing them to be rebels, poured in a vOlley
which did terrible execution, and was sufficient
to throw the entire brigade into disorder at once.
Almost panic ensued; some threw down their
arms and equipments and fled; some going as
far as Fort Henry. The enemy improved the
opportunity and advanced on Schwartz's and
Dresser's Batteries, capturing guns, and TAX
ing possession of McClernands headquarters,
driving our forces nearly mile and half. In
stead, however, of adhering to their supposed
original intention to escape, the rebels resolved
to follow up the advantages by pursuit. At this
juncture Wallace's Division was thrown in
front, and took position on the ridge which
McClernand had occupied, and flushed with
success, moved forward so as to come in range,
when Taylor opened on them with grape. shell
and canister. The rebels quailed, and came to
a halt, and as the infantry advanced begun to
fall back. Wallace improved the moment, and
moved Oh, driving the rebels before him, and
secured the ground previously lost.

TuLARE VALLEY.-A party just from this
valley reports that the damages by food have
been much exaggerated. The water in Visalia

house was seriously damaged. The loss of hou-
