PERsONAI..

We notice that some Of our State exchanges
speak Of Capt j. W. Jones, as General Su-
rcrintcndcnt pro tenn, of the Recruiting scr
vice IN Vermont. We suppose that Lieut..
Col. Morris health Is such as to preclude
any prospect of his performance Of the duties,
and that Capt. Jones holds permanent APP
pointment to the place. His thorough
familiarity with all the forms and usages Of
the service, and remarkable success in rec
cruiliug, certainly quality Capt. Jones
cmiuently for the post.

Of Capt. Jones, opened recruiting Office on

A. L. BURNSIDE.
Brigadier General, &c,

UoM. PoRTER's Mortar Fleet, which is
shortly 10 leave the city, Is 70 be more form"
liable than generally supposed. The TWEEN
ty heavy m0rtars which form the principal
armament Of the lleet, were cast at Pitts
burgh ,and are Of immense size and strength.
The average weight Is elght and half tors,
while the usual weight of English land NOR
tars is two tons, and the heaviest sea coast
mortars but about five tons. The diameter OF
the bore Of POrter's mOrtars is thirteen
inches, depth thirty five inches the metal
around the bore is at no point less than IS
inches in thickness: the truniOns measure Is
inches in diameter the mortars are elevated
and depressed by means OF cogs, are placed
on revolving platforms, and il Ii believed
that accurate firing can be made with them
at a distance OF two and quarter miles.
The vessels of the mortar fleet number q.
and. with the exception Of the flag ship, are
sailing vessels. Nearly all of these sre
schooners Of two or 500 tons burthen. Or
iginally they were fitted out as war vessels,
and pierced for four or SIX guns. Steamers
cannot be advantaseously employed, the
pOnderous mOrtars necessarily occupying the
centre of the vessel The adaptation Of these
schooncrs to the mortar service is admira-
bic. Au almost solid mass Of wood has been
built from the keel to the upper deck. This
staunch groundwork is composed Of timber,
over one foot square and twelve feet in
length, interlaced and firmly fastened. Two
or three inches above the upper deck the
bed" is built, consisting of solid horizon
tai surface, circular in form with a track"
near its edge, upon which to run rollers
bearing a revolving platform. The great
mortar bed is carefully braced, and support
ed by the entire strength of the vessel, 80 as
to bear the recoil OF the mortar.
The bombshelis TO be thrown from the
mortars are of the ordinary description, re-
semblns round shot, but hollJw, and
weighing untitled over ,wO hundred pounds
each, the most formidable ordnance missiles
known in modern warfare, with the single
exception Of those used in the Rodman
| Columbiad, OF titteen-inch bore. Between
seven and eight thousand of these bombs
| have been furnished for the fotilla, and il
/ is understood that the amount of explosive
! material contained in each shell exceeds
twelve pounds the powder having been
carefully granulatcd expressly for this pur-
pose. In addition to the mortar armament,
each vessel of the fleet has been provided
with two "lons thirty two's," Of ths best
description Of smooth bore ordnance. Each
Of these weighs thirty-seven hundred weight,
and throws round shot aud shell.
There arc now only three sailing vessels
belonging to Captain Porter mortar feet
remaining at the Yard. 1t is said that all
these vessels will rendezvous at Hampton
Roads, aud wait there until the steamers
/ detailed for the fleet are ready. These

THE TREASURY NOTE BILL

The House Treasury Note Bill passed the
Senate Thursday by strong vOtc-30 tOT,
after being ame,d ded in sJme particulars OF
course it has to come under the farther con-
sideration of the IIouse We notice that Mr..
Collamer moved. unsuccessfully, TO strike
out that portion OF the bill which makes
the notes legal tender. An amendment
moved by Mr.. Doolittlc to limit the legal
tender to private debts hereafter contracted,
also failed. y provision that the notes may
be funded in 7.30 bonds was adopted. We
presume the bill in some form will become a
law very soon. The public interest is suf-
lcring immensely for want of some enact
ment which shall enable the Treasury to pay
the pressing demands against the govern
ment on account of the war. 1t is quite
likely that many who vote for the bill, do
50 not because they fully approve of it but
because they think though seriously faulty
It will bring present relief, and faith must
be had that subsequent legislation will apply
remedy for any hagrant evils v hich may
attend its operation. But it is lamentable
fact that the tardineSs to enact energetic and
sufficient measures to raise money by taxa
tion, has brought the financial affairs OF the
Government to such pass. They say, and
NJ doubt truly, that it is a slow business to
mature an internal tax bill. Why then was
not the business taken in hand at tbs July
session OF Congress, AID put IN such train
that bill could be made ready for the early
days Of this session? We can hardly con-
ceiye 1t possible that any members OF Con-
gross were 50 dull Of vision as not % see
then that thorough, comprehensive and
prompt tarati9n had got to be rcsorted to-
On every hand the people have been crying
out for months their readiness to be taxed to
sustain the Government. Yet for aught that
appears it may be weeks before an act for
the purpose will be passed. Talk about the
army being slow Congress is as a snail to
a grey hound, compared to it.

SIEGE OF FORT DONELSON.

Fort DOuelson is dou5tless ours before
this. On the morning of the 18th six resi-
meuts Of Infantry with the Chicago Light
Artillery left fOst Henry for Font DonelsOn.
Gen. Grant and staff and body guard left at
10 O'Clock the sane day. The rear ,uard
left at clock p VI The whole force was
10000 men, with twenty seven pieces Of
light artillery. At four o'clock, the morn
ing of the same day, eleven regiments left
Paducah under the convoy Of sunboats to go
up the Cumberland River making in all
over $4,000 men. The gunboap were cx-
pected to reach Fort Donelson at clock
Thursday. 1t was designed to attalk the
Fort with the whole force Thursday alter
noon.
\ special dispatch to the Tribune dated
camp On the field near Fort Dcnelson,
Feb. Is, l2:3OP m" says;
Fort Donelson is invested BY our troops.
Our lines are formed right to left and from
North to South, nearly surrounding the
Font. \ heavy clnnOBading and skIrinish-
ing has been going on since so this morn
ing, but owing to the extent Of our line Of
action but little can b. learned OF the result.
hear, however, that the Captain Of Co. l.
7th Illinois regiment has been killed. Gen.
MoClernlnd's Division Is operating on the
right wing and Gen. Smiths on the left.
We have had but one gunbOat 70 play upon
the fort until Just within the last half hour,
since which time the other gunboats have
been firing on the iortihcatiOn. The force
estimated to be within the breast work from
the best information Is about 5000. No
reinfOrcements can arrive as all communica-
ton is Gu. Of. Il is now thought that their
left redoubt has fallen into our hands. All
the officers are behaving with great bravery
exhibiting feaTlessness highly crcditable to
our Western army. Gen. Grant and staff
have been riding along the lines all the
morning regardless Of the grape shot that is
being showered in every direction.
LA1Es, p. M-The cannonading and
skirmishing have continued briskly all day
but have Ately been discontinued. \ consi-
derable number has been wounded On both
sides. The 25th Indiana, which rushed
boldly up to the entertainments, had during
the day lorty Of their men wounded all
slightly. The 7th Illinois and eth Iowa
which have been close to the enemies fire
have lost some men.
Among the killed is Can't. Wendell Of the
7th Illinois, and Col. Morrison Of the 10Th
Illinois is wounded. Burgess Sharpshooters
have done good service. They kept several
Of the enemy's guns idle by picking of the
gunners as fast as they appeared at the gigs.
Capt Bunk, with a company Of cavalry,
went around TO the left bank Of the river
this afternoon and reports that the gunboat
Carondelet received ten inch ball through
her casematc which wounded ; men, but did
not injure the boat much. Capt Walker,
Of the CGrondclct says he has dis.nounted
Of the rebels river guns The other gun
boats had not arrived up 10 @ clock, p. In.
The Tort will be stoumcd IN two days
if not surrendered before that time. Our
men have driven hack the enemy IN every
instance. Gems. Pillow, Floyd, Johnston
and Buckner are said 10 be there

FORT DONELsON.

In his speech. responsive to the serenaie
Gen. Hslleck, sfter thanking his friends fol
the compliment. remarked at is Fort
Henry b night. and It will bs Fort Dsnel
sou 70 morrow night" Most OF our reader:
have formed, from recent reports, pr,,ty
accurate idea where Fort Donelson is. It i
a fortihcation made Of earth, and was con-
structed about the same time last summer a.
Fort Henry. Situated at Dover, on the ives,
bank of the Cumberland. where that river
washes an Obtuse angle, it is twelve miles
southeast of the latter fort, and nountc
about ten "a and 32poundefs.
Some seven or eight post rOads intersect at
this point, and the Mem phis and Gainesville
railroad passes Tut four miles south of it,
The position IS important as controlling the
river asfar up as Clarkesville, and. in con-
Junction with Fort Henry and Tennessee
bridge, as breaking off from tho rebels some
twenty miles OF railroad communication.
We are without any reliable information
in regard to the rebel garrison at Fort Dom
elson Up to the Goth OF January it was
only occupied by few companies, but may
have been, and probably has been, largely
reinforced since that time.
Possibly the bulk of General Tlghman's S
command Ietreated there instead Of to Paris.
as is generally supposed. Or fresh troops
may have been thrown into it from Clarkes
vile. Gainesville, where the railroad
crosses the Cumberland. is about thirty miles
from Dover. Extensive and formidable re-
bel works have been in construction here for
two or three months, and a large number Of
heavy guns shipped thither, it is saId, for
