The Death Of Young Wise.

young men Of Virginia in tanning the flames
Of disunon in the Old Dominion.
The correspondent Of the Tribune says:
Captain o. J. Wise died the morning after
he was wounded and though he suffered very
much, be, with his last breath, expressed his
regret that he could not live longer TO fight
for the rebellion and against the Union.
The correspondent Of the Philadelphia III.

While standing in the room where lay the
favorite son of Henry A. Wise, Ito surgeon
came in, and stepping up to the couch Of the
wounde man, examined his countenaucs with
a calm scrutiny, as il endeavoring to fatbom
the deep recesses Of the heart Of this enemy

Of his country and that Of once bo1orable

he had given US the entire sentence complete
so that we might be able to judge Of it as
we'll as himself; but he sees fit to suppress
something in the printed speech which he
sends the committee. desire the committee
to take pains to fill mp thsee blanks, and le,
us know what the speech on which he relies
actually was. 1t is for us to Judge what was
the merit Of that speech, and what sentiments

public, aud not for him to do it. He proceeds
further:
"Civil war connot avert disunion."
Ah that is new doctrine to me, sir; but
let il pass for what it is worth.
"Subjugation cannot prolong the Union."
That must be a very interesting Union
man, who, at that time, much less now,
preached such doctrine as this, that the sub.
jugaton Of the military power Of the nsur.
gents cannot restore the Union. In my
judgment it is impossible for any man to en-
tertain moro dsloyal or reasonable senti-
ment than that subjugation cannot restore the
Union, understanding the word "subjuga-
tion" in it's proper, ordinary sense, tho sense
in which it is used by us SO far as can Judge,
in that sense it simply means the dispersion
and destruction of the military power Of the
insurgents, and consequently the restoration
and peaceful operation Of the laws Of the
United States.

Ircldents Of the Battle Of Fort DOnelson.
From the Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune

TIE MANNER OF FLoYD's ESCAPE.
Surprise has often been expressed iu my
hearing that Pillow aud Floyd should have
boen able to escape with five thousand men,
a number Of pieces of cannon, and a supply
Of the best arms. This will seem an easy
task when it is remembered that we had no
force above the Fort on the opposite side Of
the river, and that steamers were lying near
Dover, and had teen conveying provisions to
the rebels for several days without fear Of mo-
lestalie On. All that Pillow and Floyd had TO
do, therefore was 10 90 down 10 tie boats,
cross the Cumberland, and 60 up on the op
postc side as far as Nashville. 1t was geu-
orally supposed we had troops and batteries
to defeat such movement, but We hsd not
and that we had not, is great mistake, for
which some one is responsible. Floyd, 1 learn,
carried with him about ten Of tie best Of the
forty guns taken from US at Mannassas-the
remainder having fallen into our hands.
