We Ike the snap of this truly great
General His orders all show that he is
just the man for the place he occupies.
His recent orders to Flas-Oficer Foote

was issued Feb 10th. and is as follows:
The major General commanding the de.

Gen. GRANT and the brave officers and men
under their command on the recent bril-.
liant victories on the Tennessee and Cum.

The war is not ended. Prepare for new
conflicts and new victories. Troops are
concentrating from every direction. We
shall soon have an army which will be ir-
resistible. The Union Flag must he re-
stored every where, and the enthralled
Union men in the South must be set free.
The soldiers and sailors of the Great West

FRox THE SOUTHERN CoAsr.

Our troops on Ship Island are repre-.
scented to be in good health. Gen But
ler's hotiila had not arrived, at latest
adviccs.
By the Constitution, from Ship Island
we learn that the British steamer Lebanon,
while being loaded with cotton from a
steamer flying the rebel flag, on tine Rio
Grande River, was taken prize by the
sfoop ofxar Portsmouth. She had about
half a cargo of cotton en- board, and had
previously landed cargo Of blankets and
ordnance storos at Matamoros
The British Captain is prisoner aboard
the Portsmouth.
The steamer will soon be sent north for
adjudication. 1t is claimed that she was
in Mexican waters. HeI cargo will not
be touched.

Cart MoRGAN-Several abolition sheets,
among which the Chicago Tribune, and the
Springfield Journal, figure most conspicu-
Gus, have been making hue and cry over
Capt Mcrgan's lodging the vote on the
glorifcation resolutions passed in our State
Convention, on the receipt of the news of
the surrender of Fort Donelson. They
charge him of having lodged the vote out
of sympathy for the rebels. Now, the
facts in the case, are simply those: A few
days before the fight at Fl Donelson came
off, Capt NJ lodged out of the conven-
ton, without leave or license" sped to
the battle field, and bravely bore his part
with his company. John A. Logan "dodg'
ed out of Congress for the same purpose,
and we'll nigh lost his life in the terrible
right-wing battle at Donelson.
1t would have been blessing to the
country, had some of those abolition
croakers followed their example. Had
they done so, they would have had no
occasion to abuse this patriot, simply be-
cause he is a democrat and does not choose
to go in for making this an abolition war,
instead of a war to maintain the Union
and the integrity of the Constitution.

Letter from Cairo.

CAIRO, February l9, 1862
FRIEND OsxAN:-I promised in nay last
to write soon, but owing to our being trans.
ferred to Capt Dressers Battery, Light
Artillery" have been necessarily busy,
Enclosed find Extra of this A. MS Gazette,
which contains some news that will be old
when you get it. Our boys have done
nobly in the fight as Donelson, having
been five days in the fight. and the day
previous to the surrender, were all taken
prisoners by the secesh, who were after
wards recaptured with all of our guns,
losing only two men-the acting ORDERLY
Sergeant and one Corporal, a gunner.
On yesterday came down three trans.
ports with the prisoners, three thou
sand, who were last night sent to st. Louis.
Among them was the Goth Tenn. Reg,
(infantry.) They are the hardest looking
lot of men you ever saw. Many of them
being clothed with the jeans cloth, COM
mon to the south, and some have fine wool
blankets. but the greater portion have
carpet blankets, bed quilts and cotton
blankets Of dark color. The most of the
men appear to think it trick with Pillow
and the other commanders of the Con.
federate army to entrap them, and give
them up to us as prisoners. They swear
vengence on the officers of the C. S. A.,
if they ever get loose. DR.. Somers' son
has just shown me short sword, with the
blood fresh upon the blade, which he cap.
tured at Donelson-a very formidable
weapon
shall take the first opportunity, after
arriving at Donelson, to inform you of the
situation, location, and surroundings of the
Fort; and, as we have splendid artists in
our Company, will send you q sketch,
which you may &c sure to be accurate
Enclosed, also, find a two dollar bill,
issued at Lexington, Ala, which pur.
chased Of one of the privates of the 10Th
Tenn. Reg, paying him one dollar for the
bill. l talked with the Adjutant of this
regiment, who informs me that this money
is current down there, and when presented
in sums of s. will be paid in currency OF
the banks of that state. He also saws.
where persons trade to the amount of 50
cents, they give specie change-provide6
they have no checks for that amount
They issue checks, in size and shape of the
bills, for 10 cents and upwards.
Having transactedmy business with the
Quartermaster, l am now ready to take
passage on the steamer Memphis for Fort
Donelson; as soon as arrive there, / will
write you again.
Hoping to see your valuable paper soon,
am truly yours, ARTILLERY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81
The reception of Gen Mcclellan oy the
troops In Gen. Porters division, on his
visit TO Halls Hill yesterday, was of the
most enthusiastic description. He was
accompanied by Coils. Colburn and Sweitzer,
Count de Paris, Due de Chartres and
other members of his staff, and strong
escort of the regular cavalry. After halt
ing few minutes at the headquarters of
FItz John Porter, the General visited the
camp of the New York Forty fourth (Ells-
worth Avengers and witnessed bay onet
drill by that regiment. Gen. Mcclellan
summoned the officers Of the regimen to
his presence and complmen,ed them
upon the recent extraoi binary march Of
their command, thirty five miles over
Miners Hill, towards Fairfax Court House,
which, in the state vf the roads at the
time, lie considered very creditabie to the
troops, from the manner in which it was
done, and the good condition in which
they returned lie also assured them
they would before long have an opportu-
nifty to distinguish themselves on the
battle field.
Wherever General Mcclellan made his
appearance among the soldiers in his pro-
gress through the camps, he received
their ovations His unexpected appear
ance among .hem was the signal fe.-ttii. Il. c {,
most r. piiiroR2 Cheering The men were
almost wild with excitement when they
found their chief among them, and their
shouts made the welkin ring.
Gen. Mcclellan expressed, on his return,
great satisfaction at the condition of the
soldiers, and the great Improvement they
have made in drill aud fighting condition.

TIE WOUNDED CoLoNELs.-Colonels Nor
rison, LAWYER, and Logan will soon be at
the head of their respective regiments
Col Morrisons wound took effect in the
side, and, although extremely painful, is
not considered dangerous, He received
it while at the head of his column cheer
ing forward the brave fellows who glory
in their leader. He proposes to remain at
the Fort, where he is solaced by his wife
and other friends. Col. Lawler was shot
twice in the arm. He has returned home
to recruit his health for the next battle
Col Logan's wound is more severe than
either MorrisOns or LAWYERS S, being IN the
breast, near the shoulder. His suffering
is intense; but he bears it like hero, and
will not long remain inactive. His cool
and determined bravery is spoken of In
the highest terms of praise

fled from Nashville to Memphis, after
distributing large amount of commissary

State Library. Every bridge i'll the wake
of these terrified refugees was destroyed
to prevent pursuit.

At the inaugural banquet given by the
Lord Mayor of Dublin, on Tuesday evening,
Feb. 4, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the
Earl of Carlisle in replying to the toast of
his health, was received with great ap-
plause. In the course of his speech he
said:
"Casting our eyes round the wide hor-
ION we must all feel grateful and relieved
that wen can still, without any sacaIfice of
national honor, retain the valuable bless
ings of peace. Hear. When it appeared
for a moment that, under the shelter of
our honored flag the honored right of
asylum might have been violated, believe
the country at large applauds the spirit,
the prompitude, and the efficiency with
which preparations were made to exact
the reparation. That object has been
fully and happily achieved, and, while we
thankfully feel that we are not ourselves
called upon to draw the avenging sword,
would that we could plant the olive of
peace between the two contending bands,
both springing from our own race. But,
as | think we have justly determined to
! observe a strict neutrality, l feel it might
be, perhaps, departing from a strict con-
sistency with that course if were to seek
to pronounce any ormaljudgment between
the combatants on both sides One thing
am anxious about, that in the shifting
and changing relations which must always
upon such protracted struggles, we shall
never suffer our national concience to be
tarnished by losing sight of those princi-
pals of right which are absolute and eternal.
Hear, hear. l may mention, by way OF
illustration, that | trust no conceivable
circumstances could lead these free and
imperial islands to recede one jot from
their undying adherence of slavery

Cushman,s Regiment.

We find the following in the Chicago
Tribune Of the 2Sth Ult:
The principal matter OF interest at Camp
Douglas Yesterday, was the arrival upon
the grounds of the Fi!ty-third Illinois
Regiment, Col Cushman, which for the
present is to take up quarters there for
the purpose of relieving the regiments and
parts of regiments to whose care tie rebel
prisoners had been committed since their
sudden immigration into our midst The
Fifty-third broke camp at Ottawa yester-
day forenoon, and took cars by the Rock
Island road at IL An. They made the
trip in good time and without accident,
arriving here at P. n, and were imme-
diatcly conducted to the camp and assign
ed barracks.
