We are kindly permitted to copy the
following interesting extract from letter
written by Webster Ballinger to his faith.
er, Judge BalIinger:
Sour forces were Enthusiastically whip
ped until the charge was made by our
regiment Livery one admits this, and the
enemy knew it. After repeated failures
by other regiments, Gen. Smith called on
our regiment, when Col. futile assured
him our flag should be planted on the for.
tifcations. He told US We should be sup
ported. But alter we had done the work
had driven the I'd Kentucky and Sd
Tennessee from their entrenchments-had
gotten under their breastworks and taken
their camp, We were not supported. We
fought the enemy two long hours, and
then droppsx back to the breastworks
and there remained during the night.
"The next morning early, Gen. Smith
had Cat a guess IL regiments formed in
our rear, ready to advance on the second
and last breastworks. Cartridges were
sent to US GA Reginent1 and we were
ordered to form in line of battle to lead ia
| the charge. About that moment the sur
| render was announced. 1t was agreed
\ that the I'd Iowa deserved the position OF
:, honor, and accordingly we marched into
the fort at the head OF right of the army
During the battle ! had cap blown
Lot by the passage Of cannon ball neal

A flag of truce arrived from Nashville
yesterday with II surgeons, who came
down to take care of the wounded whom
the Rebels left in their recent hasty re-
treat. They say Nashville is deserted by
Rebel troops, and that the citizens are
leaving very fast
The enemy will make stand at MUIR
freesboro, which is 40 miles back in the
country from Nashville. They are afraid
of the mortarboats. and want to get away
from the river out of their range.

paid visit to Hon. Cave johnson
yesterday. He resides at GAINESVILLE =
Mr.. johnson was powerful advocate of
the Union until the war commenced, but
is now as powerful on the other side. He
says the only effect of our successes will
be to drive the people of Tennessee to the
mountains and render them desperate
There is not spark of Union feeling here,
and nobody pretends to disguise the fact
The people Of Clarksville glory in seces-
sion, but at the same time are trembling
lest the town be burned.
The rebel leaders shipped thousand
negroes away last week from GAINESVILLE.
What there are left are wide awake to the
probable results of the campaign.
There was full regiment from Clarks-
vile ut Fort Donelson, all of whom are
prisoners. Most CT them owned slaves
and there are lots Of negroes here without
masters. The inhabitants fear an insur-
rection, and some of the more intelligent
say that it is unavoidable. People here
had not the remotcst idea that Fort Dom
elson would be taken. They had grand
jubilee the day that the gunboats were
repulsed ; q few hours afterwards they
scattered and ran. Those who arc left
think the surrender was rather coward
iy affair.
Floyd destroyed the splendid river
bridge over the Cumberland at Nashville,
and burned the railroad bridge. Great
indignation is felt BY the citizens of Naah-
vile at this vandalism. They are entirely
out of coal and suffering formany articles.
Nashville was evacuated on Sunday, the
stores were all closed and citizens were
leaving for Memphis and other points.
The Surgeons say very little If any Union
sentiment was there. The sympathy
was all the other way.
