A Visit to Carlo and Fort Donolson.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having just returned from
the field on which our late glorious victory
was achieved, I beg leave to communicate to
my numerous friends, through your valuable
paper, plain, unvarnishcd account Of the
sights and scenes witnessed.
1 left my home in Richmond Ind, on the
day following the surrender of Fort Donelson,
but owing to the difficulty of procuring pas.
sage down the Ohio. l was unable to pro-
coed farther than Evansville Ind, until Thur
day the Goth inst.
Nothing of special interest occurred until
VIC arrived at Carlo. Our boat landed close
BY "Tho Illinois" on which were about 1900
rebel prisoners and although I had heard,
and read many descriptions Of their clothing
and equipments, had formed no adequate
idea Of their general appearance.
The men are strong and vigorous, and
their unshorn heads, neglected boards, and
flashing eyes lend to their faces q "terrible
aspect" Taken but not conquered" seemed
written on every countenance. Long and
loud are the curses and inprccations against
Pillow, Floyd, and their cowardly followers.
"But for their treachery" they say 1.-THE
confederate forces would have been ricto-
rious."
Their clothing Is their homemade linscy,
colored with the bark Of the Butternut tree |;
and Of this snuff colored material, whole
suits arc made. Instead Of oyercoats, they
have quilts, comforts, blankets, Sheets pieces
Of old carpets, and various other articles OF
all colors and texture.
Some were standing, some sitting, and
some lying on the hurricane deck, and l
could but think Of "Falstaa's Recruits" as
sazcd on the motley mass Of chivalrous
gentlemen!
Some of them own that they have been

THE WAR NEWS THIS WEEK.

We cheerfully devote large space Of our
paper this week to the war intelligence which
has been pouring in like a food upon US from
all quarters. The past week has been prolific
with stirring events, events, too, OF the most
gratifying character which thrills every loyal
heart with Joy, as rebellion is now receiving
lis merited doom. and its waning fortunes are
becoming more and more apparent as our ar
mics advance and occupy the strong positions
Of the enemy.
In the summary of dispatches will be found
the details Of news from all parts where the
conflict has been going on, or the rebels max
ing their retreat. Columbus has been aban-
doned and Kentucky is cleared Of rebel forces.
In Virginia the rebels are in full retreat from
the line Of the Potomac, having evacuated their
strong positions Of Leesburg, Centerville and
Manassas, the latter, Of historic renown. AT
what place they will now make stand remains
to seen. but il is probable that Richmond will
not be abandoned without a struggle.
In North Carolinia Gen. Burnside has occu-
pied winton and is supposed to be advancing
towards Norfolk.
From Arkansas we have glorious news Of a
SPLENDID victory at Pea Ridge where an attack
was made by rebel forces under Gems. Van
Dorm, Price, McCulloch and Mclptosh upon
detachment Of Gen. Curtis main body under
Gen. Seigel. The contest was severe and pro-
tracted, but resulted in the complete rout OF
the enemy, and the capture OF large amount
OF stores, cannon, teams and ammunition.
Com. Dupont Is in full possession OF the
Sound OF fernsndina and Amelia Island, and
the river and town Of St. Mary's, and the for
tifcations of st. Simon's and Brunswick in
Georgia. Fort Pulaski, the principle defense
Of Savannah, has been completely cut of from
communication with that city by our gunboats
and batteries, and undoubtedly Gen. Sherman
viii soon occupy IL.
The affair at Hampton Roads in which we
lost the sloop Cumberland and the frigate Con-
gress Is unfortunate, and is the only reverse in
the whole record for the week past.
