DEs@ The wife of Col. Hawkins, who
was in Bowling Green during the whole
time of it's occupation by the rebel troops,
says it was amusing to witness their move
ments. At times they would take notion
that the town could be made impregnahle
to any assault, and the officers and soldiers
would |" pitch in" and work for few days
with the energy of despair itself Then
they would change their opinien-conclude
it was untenable in military sense, conldn't
be fortified, and wasn't worth the labor
necessary to make the position a strong one.
The work on the Notifications would at once
cease entirely, for a week OF two at a
stretch, while the men spent their time
idly in camp or sufferingly in the hospital.
Then again new light would seem to
break in on them, and at il they would go,
with pick-axe,I shovel, and spade, for a
week or two, until their tired backs and
blistered hands would again convince them
that'the town was naturally weak point
and could not be made a strong one with
all their labor, when the work would once
more cease. She says most of the Fan and
Winter was spent by the rebel soldiers in
that manner, working by fits and starts,
and in the end accomplishing very little

in the letter Of its regular correspondent,
" g. W. B." describing the whole series of
engagements at Fort Dnnelson. The editor
of the Deinrc n IN reply to the charge
Now if there be one thing written clearly
and distinctly in the history of the siege
and capture of Donelson, it is the heroic
bravery of the Illinois soldiers. There were
other soldiers there, however, to whom the
need of praise is also due, and it is, we
think, a senile jealousy which repines at
the well-deserved commentator of others.
All who shared in the "rapture of that
strife" deserved well of their country, and
the imperishable renown won by Illinois
ans will not be heightened by unworthy
sneers or disparagement of brave men from
other States.
