time was never before seen; it looked very
much like New Orleans, before the blight
of treason cursed that city. Gen. Nelson

there was not sufficient coal on Can't New
combs wharf-boats, and allowed himself TO
do and say many things of an Objectionable
charicter. Our citizens can all bear testi-
mony that Capt. Newcomb has done all in
bis power to supply the extraordinary de-
mand for coal; he desired his men to work
on Sunday, and advanced the price of Dig
ging; but few men worked on that day
but that was pc fault Of Capt. Neweomb.
These facts fully aad completely exhonor-
ate The Capt. from all blame in the matter.

The General commanding takes great
pleasure in congratulating the troops of this
command for the. triumph over rebellion,
gained by their valor on the 18th, I4th and
18th inst.
For four successive nights, without shell
ter, during the most Indictment weather
known in this latitude, they faced an enemy
in large force, in position chosen by them
selves. Though strongly fortified by ma
ture, all the additional safeguards suggested
ed by science were added Without muir
muir this was borae. Prepared at all times
to receive the attack, and with continuous
skirInishing by day, resulted ultimately in
forcing the enemy to surrender without
conditions.
The victory achieved is not only great in
the effect it will have in breaking down re-
bellion, but has secured the greatest num-
Der of prisoners of war ever taken in any
battle on this continent
Fort Donelson will hereafter be marked
in capitals on the maps of our united coun-
try, and the men who fought the battle
will live in the memory of grateful people.

Bsg One of the most valuable results OF
the war viii be the dissipation of the theory
so long upheld by Southern SHAREHOLDERS
and Northern doughfaces that aCotton is
King The South has been closely block
AIDED for nearly nine months and vet with
the exception of trifling advance in the
price of cotton goods. no one has been in
commoded by the scarcity of the "great
staple" The destitution in England. and
the suspension Of cotton factories IS not
owing to short supply of cotton. The
stock on hand is enormous, and it is being
shipped from Liverpool to New York in
large quantities. The operations in Lam
cashire are idle, because the demand for
their productions has been cut of. The
North has ceased to import cotton goods to
any great extent, and the factories stand
still because there are no consumers. The
Manchester papers in able articles, have
called the attention of Englishmen to this
fact, and urged upon them the Importance
of peace with America. l---.....
The war has stimulated the growth OF
cotton in other lands more than could have
been accomplished in twenty years of peace.
Every available acre in the British king
dom viii ere long be cultivated and cotton
will come to the Liverpool docks from
Africa, Australia, India and the Isles of the
sea. Besides this the attention of the North
has been turned to the cultivation and man
ufacture of fax, and since Sumter was bonn
barded, short nine months ago, Yankee
ingenuity and skill have produced prints.
made from fax, of superior texture to those
made of cotton. Henceforth, Cotton instead
of being King, win be a Submissive and
humble subject. There is no King but the
LORD, and He, in His infinite wisdom is
bringing 10 nought, the counsels of traitors
and rebels against constituted authority.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
ldier General r. W. Lander: :


To B5igadier General F. W. Lander:
The President directs me to say that be
has observed with pleasure the activity and
enterprise manifested by yourself and the
officers and soldiers of your command. You
have shown how much may be done, in the
worst weather and worst roads, by a spirit
ed officer at the head of small force of
brave men, unwilling to waste life in canp
when the enemies of their country are with
IN reach. Your brilliant success is a happy
presage of what may be expected when the
army of the Potomac shall be led to the
field by their gallant General.
(Signed) EDWIN NJ. STANTON, -
Secretary of War.
Various constructions have been placed
on this bulletin of Secretary Stanton. Some
regard il as an indirect censure Of GeneraI
McClellan's inactivity. II, they argue, Gen.
Lander can move an army over the noun
famous regions about Romney, Cumberland,
and Winchester, why can't Gen. Mcclellan
do something on the Potomac The New
York World, however, sees in the bulletin
an intentional design to compliment General
Mcclellan in advance. 1t says.
the brilliant achievement Of Gen. Lander,
an expression of Secretary Stanton's high
opinion of Gen. Mcclellan, whose great
victory on the Potomac he generously dis
counts in advance. All the current victo-
ries are probably mere preludes to the tri-
umph of Gen. McClellans Immediate COM
mand over the main body of the rebel ar
my, which will probably be the most mag
niheent victory ever fought and won.
Fl The New Workers seem unwilling to give
the credit of the victory at Fort. Donelson
to the Western boys, to whom it properly
belongs. When the news was received in
that city, the World says groups collected
about the bulletin boards, shouting for Com

not prepared to concede that be is also en-
Aitled to the glory of storming Fort Donel-
son-nor does the Commodore claim it.
His attack on Fort DoneIson with the gun
boats was faiIure-not from any lack of
courage or skill on the part Of him and his
men, but owing to the position OF The forti-
