order that we may be free people we must
be one and in order that we may preserve
that freedom even with unity we must be a

The Fort DoNELsoN PR1soyERs.-All ac
counts now agree in fixing the exact number
of prisoners, captured at Fort Donelson. at
l0.6S5. The St. Louis correspondent of the
Bulletin, writing the 24h of February says j:
We had about 5000 of the prisoners here
on the Goth, all at the same time. When the
boats arrived from Cairo. they were each
allowed to lie up for several hours at the city
ievee before proceeding 10 the Illinois shore.
Their presence drew crowds of thousands to
the wharf who went up within % feet of the
guards OF the boats. chatied freely with the
prisoners and threw them apples, oranges, cakes
and pies IN continuous stream. The Sc
cesh' soon become as cheerful as their enter
tainers, and scrambled vigorously for the
edibes pitched to them by their visitors
Not a word Of tauHt Or insult was uttered
during the eutire day and all, even the most
british and malignant among them were COM
PEELED TO acknowledge that they could not have
received better treatment at the hands Of their
best friends. Some of them when questioned
expressed quenehIess hatred OF Black Repub-
lcanS and Yankees. Others were tired of the
war aud were glad that they were captured as
they could now have no further PARTICIPATION
IN Tue s'riie. Others declared they had been
deceived by Secession leaders into taking up
arms against the Union, while not few Of
them. particularly the Tennesseeans, averred
that they had always been Union men at heart,
and were drafted into the rebel service or
compelled to enlist to avoid the disgrace OF a
draft. East Tennessee they said was full of
Union mea, who would take up arms the mo-
ment Government force came to their relief
with arms and ammunition. A large majority
of the prisoners acknowledged their cause to
be desperate one, and that the Government
forces would ultimately conquer.

The British brig Imogen, on her way from
Hong Kong to Shanghae. ard when seven
miles from the Ninepin Rock, was hailed by
three lorchas, filed with pirates, who demand
ed an instant surrender. The crew Of the brig
replied by smart fire OF musketrv. rhe pi-
rates returned the fire. and ranged up along
side, throwing stinkpots on board. The crew
of the brig then took refuge below, the captain
and mates going down into the cabin. The
pirates overhauled the brig and took ont seve-
raj cases Of arms which were on board The
question was then put, Fave you any opium
or cash on board Upon being answered in
the negative the parties questioned were in
formed that they could proceed TO a place
somewhat warmer than a ship on fire. The
brig was then set fire to in three places, and
all the boats stove in, almost precuding a
possibility to escape.
When the crew forward found the vessel on
fire, they came up and jumped overheard. pre-

harbor. 1t was distinctly sworn that the chief
Of the pirates was Portuguese and many of
his assistants were English and Americans of

cook and steward Of the brig were Chinese. It
is probable that they were in league with the
pirates. Nothing is known as to what became
of them.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT CHlco-0ur com
munity was thrown into fever Of excitement OF
Wednesday morning by the announcement by
telegraph, that Hon Isaac Allen, Of Chico had
been shot By a neighbor named Stevens. a
second dispatch shortly after announced that
he was thought to be dying, but still later
one announces the gratifying intelligence that
his wound is not so dangerous as was at first
supposed. and that there was prospect of his
recovery.
The following communication from Missouri
Bend, is reliable account of the circumstances
attending the shooting;
Missouri BEND, April Sd, 1862.
ardly attempt to commit murder, was made al
this place yesterday, by II. Stevens, upon the
person OF Hon. Isaac Allen, formerly Senator
from Yuba county Early in the morning, be
fore any one on the ranch had risen, Stevens
came TO the house and inquired for Alien
Mr.. Hail. who sleeps in an adjoining apart
ment, told him that be had not risen yet
Stevens Immediately passed into the bedroom
and after few words IN reference to some
land, shot Mr. Allen in bis bed, and before
Mr.. Allen or VIM. Hall, who was sleeping
with him had the least suspicion Of his inten-
tiou, the would be murderer then ran out of
the house By another door. passed around back
of the house, mounted his horse and rode
swiftly away. The neighbors were immediate
aroused and pursuit commenced-every man
animated by the resolve that the perpetrator
of so dastardly an act should not 60 unpunish-
ed. Stevens was captured about noon, at
house in which be had taken refuge, about
twelve miles from his own residence. He had
Neit his horse and Travelled on foot through the
brush that distance.
1t is thought Mr. Allen will recover, as the
wound is not necessarily a mortal one, the ball
passing through the body in an obhque drec
