with me, and 1t would have wonderfully
lightened the dreariness Of my imprisonment
to have had her 50. When this was object
ed to, she left and Oapt.D. was put into her
place with me. At frst was exceedingly
annoyed and horri6ed, at the idea Of being
forced to bear, in the eloseness of prison
life, the company Of q fOrger. Ny earnest
remonstrances were unavailing. After he
became the companion Of my cell, my feelings
speedily changed. BE frankly confessed the
forgery; said he did it under the influence
of too much wine, and that il would be his
last as It was his first offense. A few DAYS
after our acquaintance be gave me Voluu-

it solemnly several tines then believed,

mourned the injury he had brought on them

ReconnoIsanee toward Fort DoneIson and
mp the Tennessee.

FoRF HHERT, Feb. Q.
A force of the Second Illinois cavalry un-
der Major Mudd, made q reconnaissance to-
day in the direction of Fort Donaldson. An
advance guard of some forty men encounter
ed superior number Of rebel cavalry about
seven miles on the main road to Dover
Capt Brink, the ordnance officer who accom-
panied the command with caissou, was IN
the advance, and discovered the enemy and
gave notice to our cavalry, who were feeding
some distance in the rear. The enemy ad-
vanced on our small force and gave them
battle. At cross road, some twenty more
of our cavalry coming up to the assistance Of
our little body, the enemy turned and took
to fight with loss of five killed and twenty
three prisoners, among whom was the captain
Of the rebel band. Our loss was one man
wounded and one horse killed.
Gen. Grant and staff, to-day, also made
q reconnaissance to within four miles Of Fort
Donelson, and complete knowledge Of the
roads was obtained.
The accommodating transport steamer ".
q. Brown, in charge Of Capt. Lagow, Aide
to Gen. Grant, with Col. Riggings and Col.
A. H. Narkland, Military Nail agent &C
companying the army, made another trip
to-day, to the railroad bridge across the
river at DanVille, where large quantity of
army stores, wagons, hides and numerous
other articles of value were found.
From all appearances in every direction
from the fort, this retreat assumed the form
of a complete panic and stampede. At
Danyille, the quarters Of the troops gave evil
dence that they fed while in the act of pre-
plring either dinner or supper. The cook
ing utensils contained the allowance oftheir
rations. Beds and cabin furniture were
streEn about in reckless confusion, and ter
ror and dismay seems 70 have filed the
breasts Of the occupants.
An Unfinished letter from a soldier TO bis
sister was found, dated the 9th, the day of
the battle, which stated thst seven regiments
left there the night previous for the fort
leaving room for the conclusion that the actu-
al force at this place, on the day Of the cap
ture Of this fort, was not less than twelve
thousand.
Col. MARYLAND, BY order of General Grant,
took possession Of eleven bags Of mail mat
ter at Danville and closed the Office, yester-
day.
Gen. Grant and BtaR visited Dan7ille and
took possession Of large amount Of prop
erty Of the zane character e. that taken to-
day, besides the ferry steamer ]. ". Martin,
which was brought down TO this point l
The bridge Is q magnificent structure of
about l,20o fest, besides about 400 feet Of

nine in number, are built Of granite, In the
strongest manner. The tressel work has
been partially destroyed to prevent its being

From dispatches relating to the e1peditiOn
up the Tennessee 70 Florence, Alabama, we
extinct the following:
aouF gunboab went as far as Florence,
Alabama, the head Of navigation for large
steamers, being about $50 miles from Padu-
cab. Everywhere along the river they were
received with astonishing welcome By the
numerous Union families in Southern Ten
nessee and northern Alabama, and at the lit
tie towns along the river the old Tag was
looked upon as q redeemer, and hailed with
shouts Of JOY, es an earnest to show that
the sentiment was genuine. Capt GWin Of
the Taylor recruited thirty men for service
on the enuboats, and says he can get as many
more recruits as would man the whole heet.
These people have suffered much from the
oppression heaped upon them by the villain
Gus usurpation of these rebel vandals.
There are now in Tennessee, Mississippi
and Alabama, through all of which States
our Punboats have now passed, better Union
men by half than generally are found along
She Ohio fiver. Many Of the people at Flor
ence were so delighted at finding the Stars
and Stripes once more their protection, that
they proposed to give ball TO the officers OF
the gunboRts !; but as they were under or
ders, they could not remain to accept their
cOurtesies. Wherever our boats landed, the
people after the FIRST fright, and when they
became assured that the gunboats did moi
come 10 destroy, but to save, seemed to have
no means too eXtrayagant to express their
delight and Joy. --.
An encampment Of some 500 men under
Col. Crews, which was recruiting a short
distance back of the town Of Savannah
learning of our gunboats having passed 81
to Florence, Immediately dispersed. oul
officers not being aware Of the existence o.
this encampment when passing up, stopped
there on their return, and Captain Gwin
with leo men, detschments frou the thre,
gunboats, accompanied by Lieut.. Conday
Shirk, With another officer, marched ont r
the eBcampment which, finding aban don,
ed, they set FIRE to. They captured larg,
quantity Of QuartermasteFs and Commissa.
~ stores, and leO stand Of arms. The pro
visions were distributed among the desti
tute Union men, as was done at several othel
points where commissary stores were taken
