MONDAY, FEBRUARY IT.
Absut Fort Don el.sn.

1nere were various rnmors afloat In
town on Saturday evening in regard to
Fort Donelson. The latest and most
authentic report which We received was
the dispatch of Gen. Halleck to the Com
mander-ln Chief, from which it apnears
that the Fort had not been captured on
Saturday, but was in fair way to fall in
to our hands, with Floyd and Buckner.
HALLEcg's ORDER.-It does not give
US any pleasure that Halleck is again en-
deavoring to enforce Order No. 8. He
may succeed in crushing the rebellion by
pursuing that line Of policy, but we have
little faith IN policy which ignores the
principles Of justice and violates the laws

Terrific Venture.

One of the most thrilling incidents which has
come to our knowledge: occurred a few days
since in - side show with Van Amburg ~
Cos Menagerie, where two enormous snakes
an anaconda and n boa cOustrictOr-are exhi-
bition. Both of the huge reptile are kept in one
case with n glass top, opening ut the side, and
the keeper was engaged IN the act Of feeding
them when the event occurred. The boa con-
strictOT, which Is thirty feet long and
large around the middle a mans thigh, had
lust swallowed two rabbits when the keeper in
Iroduced his arm and body into the cage for the
purpose of reaching third 10 the anaconda, at
the opposite corner. While in this position the
boa not satisfied with his share of the rations,
made spring, probably with the intention of
securing the remaining rabbit, but, instead, fast
ened his Jaws upon the keepers hand, and with
the rapidity Of lightning threw three coils around
the poor fellow, thus rendering him helpless His
shouts of distress ut once brought several men
10 his assistance, and among them, fortunately,
was well-knOwn Snowman named Townsend,
man of great muscular power, and what was of
much more Importance, one who had been fami-
liar with the habits of these repulsve monster all
his life, having owned some of the lars1sc ones
ever brought TO this country
The situation of the keeper was now perilous
IN the extreme. The first thing to be done was
10 uncOil the snake from around him, but If In
attempting this the reptile should become in the
least degree angered, he would in a second, con-
tract his coils with a power sufficient to crush
the life out of an OK. y single quick convulsiOn
of the creature and the keepers soul would be in
eternity This Townsend fully understood so
without attempting to disturb the boas hold
upon the keepers hand, he managed by powerful
yet extremely cautious movements to uncOil the
snake without exciting him, after which, by
the united exertions of two strong the jaws
were pried open and the man released in a COM
pletely exhausted condition. The bite OF the boa
constructor is not poisonous, and although the
bitten hand was immensely swollen the next day,
no serious results were apprehended. \ more

SEcEss1cxIsx OUT OF FASHION IN
PARIs.-The New York Post says:
Private letters from Paris, received
BY the last steamer. state that a great
change has taken place in the conduct
of the mum erous Southerners living in
that city. since the recent speech of the
Emperor Napoleon and the declaration
of Earl Russell. Where these people
were before naughty and confident,
they are now ''in a state OF profound
detection" A sudden panic seems to
haye struck them, which shows how
entirely they depended upon the aid oI
France and Great Britain for success in
their efforts.
1t is pleasant to know that loyal
Americans in Paris are taking the
places in society that have been so
long monopolized by the Southerners.
We read Of entertainments given by
Northern families. and it is evident
that our coun.rymen are awake to the
propriety Of using their personal and
social influence to attract friendly opin-
ion to our side. This is an art in
which the Southerners living in Paris
and London have hitherto e1celled.

through the thick underground, and
upon reaching the valley, I followed
the sound Of the drum, and soon found
him seated upon the ground. his back
leaning against the trunk Of a fallen
tree, while his drum hung upon bush
in front of him. reaching nearly to the
ground. As soon as he. discovered me,
he dropped his drumsticks and ex-
claimed. "Oh corporal. I am so glad to
see you'll Give me drink" reaching
out his hand for my eanteen, which was
empty ! Immediately turned to bring
him some water from the brook that /
could hear ripping through the bushes
near by, when,, thinking that was
about to leave him. he commenced cry
ing, saying. Don't leave me, corporal;
/ can't walk"
Twas soon back with the water, when
I discovered that both of bis feet had
been shot away by a cannon ball. At
ter satisfying his thirst. be looked up
into nv face, and said. "You don't
think will die. corporal, do you?-
This man said l would not; he said the
surgeon could cure my feet" now
discovered a man lying in the grass
near him, dead. BY his dress recog.
nized him as belonging to the enemy.
Il appeared lha. he had been shot
through Che bowels. and had fallen
near where Eddy lay. Knowing that
he could not live, and seeing the condi-
ton Of the boy, he bad crawled TO him,
took off his buekskin suspenders, and
corded the little fellows legs below the.
knee, and then lay down and died.
While he was telling me these particu-
lars heard the tramp of cavalry COM
ing down the. ravine, and in moment
a scout of the enemy was upon US. and
1 was taken prisoner. l requested the
officer to take Eddie up in front of him,
and he did SO. carrying him with great
tenderness and care. When we reached
the camp of the enemy the little fellow
was dead. 1t is now about two weeks
since made my escape, from Mccall
lough's grasp.
