Can ii be Ilwe 1.-The St. Louis
Republican of the 21st has the fol-
lowing in a special from Cairo:
Theprovost marshal at GAINESVILLE.
Tenn, sent down IA request to Gen.
Grant, at Fort Donelson, asking him
TO come up and occupy the town at
once with his troops. Officers from
the gunboats, which are now lying
there, have been in the place, and
represent the Union feeling as strong,
and testified to it in such :; manner
rs to leave no doubt OF its sincerity
Island No. lo.-I'he telegraph tells
us that Gen. Polk was terrifying
Island No. 10, and strengthening his
position at Columbus.
Island No. 10 is a strong position
in the Mississippi river, very near
the boundary line that separate s
Tennessee and kentucky, and not
far from Hickman, in the latter State.
1t is about As miles below Columbus,
Il5 above Fort Pillow, 1s5 above
Memphis. The Memphis Appeal
very correctly says of this position
that it commands the Mississippi
river for miles above, and can be so
fortified with heavy guns as to be
made impregnable against any river
attack. AS it is demonstrated in the
late battles at Forts Henry and Don
elson, that the Federal gunboats are
not inyulneraEle tic rihed cannon and
heavy columbiads, the position is well
chosen, and with the aid of a good
land force, can be maintained against
the approach of Foote'S Fiotilla.
