TIE FORT DoNELsoN PRISONERS.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times,
writing from Fort Doncson, says of the pris-
oncrs captured:
Al yesterday afternoon and today the Sc
cess;on captivcs have been dcbarkmg on Iht.
transports; and the thousands vending their
way down The steep and miry bluffs of the
Cumberland, in double file, with the most va
ritd and grotCsquc cost umcs, presented novel
sight
They looked very much like vast horde
of gipsies, having yellow. red, broWn, blue
white and grey blankets, and many of them
fragments of parti-hued carpeting, sent TO
them as winter clothing hg FeAel families in
Sccessia.
Their bats were generally such as lively
boys delight to llIck opt Of the dust leaps
found in cities, and which are without shape
or charapteF pfapy kind. Some of them have
Il kinl Of rough grey uniform; but no two
coats are Of the same pattern, and taken as
whole, they are nondeScripts OF apparel.
The privates remind me of the most rural
rurHlists Of the far west; they are rough, un-
kempt, unshapelY, with an air of ignorance
and responsibility that dSarms anger. They
arc brave, doubtless, hut pgt at all savage in
semblance, and most CT them excessively un-
like the popular notion of dark haired, black
eyed, spirited SOutherncr,'
4 correspondent Of the CinpiHn4ti Aazettc,
writing from Cairo, saws:
-Four steamboats, loaded with Fort DOnel-
son prisoners arrived here this morning. 1t is

Our drummer boy from Tennessee,
Beating for help the revillc.

was about to desert my post to go to his
assistance when 1 discovered the officer of the
guard approaching with two men. We all
listened to the sound and we were satisfied that
it was Eddys drum. l asked permission to go
TO his assistance. The officer he>itated. saying
that the order was to march in twenty min
utes; promised TO be back in time, when lie
consented. l Immediately started down the
hill through the THICK underground, and upon
reaching the valley followed the sound of the
drum and soon found him seated upon the
ground, his back leaning against the trunk of
fallen tree, while his drum hung upon a bush
in front Of him reaching nearly TO the grounl.
As soon as he discovered me, he dropped his
drum sticks, and exclaimed: 90 corporal, an.
so glad to see you! Give me u drink" reach
ing out his hand for my canteen, which was
empty, l 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, lie
commenced crying, saying; Don't leave me,
corporal-I can't walk" WIS soon hGpk with
the water, when | found that both feet had
been shot away lay cannon ball. Amer sat
isfying his thirst, he looked up into my face and
said; "You don't think will die, corporal. do
you? This man said would not-Ae said lhe
surgeon could cure my feet"
now discovered man lying iH the grass
near him, dead. Ry bis dress ! recognized
him as belonging to the enemy. 1t appeared
that he had been shot through lha bowels, and
had fallen near where Edward lay, Knowing
thf he cold not live, qgd seeing the condition
OF the hoy, he had eFawIed Ia him, tQqk pa his
buckskin suspenders, and corded the little lel-
lows legs below thp knee, and then lay down
and died. While he was telling the particu
lurs, heard the tramp of cavalry coming
down the rariLe, and in q moment a scout OF
the enemy was upon US, and was taken a
prisoner. requested the officer to take Eddy
up ia font OF him, and be did so, carrying
him with great teBaeFpess and care. When

fellow was dead, II is about two weeks since

made by Gen. Smiths brigade, and Is thuz de-
scribed:
GENERAL SMITHS ASSAULT.
Gen. Smith is, emphatically, fighting man
aud Is may be imagined, the events of the
morning had tended to decrease in no meas
ure his pugnacity. When he received his long
desired orders for an assault of the enemy s
works, his eyes glistened with u fire which,
could it have been seen by his maligners,
would have left them in no doubt as to his pri-
vate feelings in regard to the present contest.
All the arrangements were complete by three
o'clock, aud his column was put in motion soon
after. The force under his command Was as
follows:
Col. Cooks Brigade Seventh Illinois, Fif-
tieth do, Twelfth Iowa, Thirteenth Missouri,
Fif:y-sccoDd Indiana.
Col. Humans Brigade-Second Iowa, Sew
enth Iowa, Fourteenth Iowa, Twenty-ffth In
diana, Filty-sixth Indiana.
Under cover of Capt. Stones Missouri bat
terry, this force began the assault. 1t was 4
formidable undertaking, which, under a less
brave and ski.lfnl commander than GeReral
Smith, might have proved u most disastrous
failure
The hills at this point are among the most
precipitous Of those upon which the enemy
were posted. Selecting the Second and Sew
enth Iowa, and tie r'ilty-second Indiana for
the storming party, Gen. Smith DETECTED the
main portion Of his division to the right, and
having succeeded in engaging the attention Of
the enemy at this point, himself headed the
stOrming party and advanced upon the works
from his extrc;ae left. 1t was a most magnifi-
cent sight. Unuppacd by the perfect storm
of bullets which rained about him, the Gener.
al on horseback, and with his hat on the point
of his sword, proceeded his troops, and inspired
them with furorc there was no withstand
ing.
Steadily, with unbrokcn line, the gallant
Haweyes and IndianianS advanced. The ene-
my's grape and canister came plowiDg through
their ranks, but not shot was fired in return
Closing up the ranks as one after another Of
the brave fellows dropped to the earth, and an
imated by the fearless example of their un-
daunted leader, they pressed steadily ON. The
works gained, one tremendous voiley was pour
ed into the astOnished enemy. and, with fixed
bayonets, a charge was made into their ranks
which there was no withstanding. They fled
in confusion over the bills, aid al last we had
penetrated the rebtl Sabastopol, and the mis-
fortunes Orthe morning were retrieved. Capt.
Stones battery, which, in the meantime, had
been doing tremendous execution in the rebel
ranks, was promptly advanced to the position
gained. and Instantly, supported by the re-
RIainder Of his division, The point was secured
against any force the enemy could bring to-
bear against il.

Mr.. Editor:-I avail myself of the op.
portunity of letting the people Of "OId
Cedar know, through your paper, how
their representatives in the Gath low,
regiment are getting along. The health
in both Capt. Rathbun's aud Capt. John.
sons companies may be said to be good.

ously i'll, except Mr.. Roberdee, Of Capt.
Johnsan's company.
The boys in the oath received sl3,
their first months pay in advance, on
Saturday last. Their premium and bouu.
ty they will get as soon as . United
States Paymaster arrives in camp. The
camp is located on what is known as the
Island. 1t is about two miles from the
centre of the city to the camp. The To-.
cation is a very pretty one-a fine place
for parade and drill, but l think rather
an unhealthy place.
The water is not good; and then there
are ponds o: stagnant water At different
places near the camp, which certainly
will be instrumental in making additions
to the "sick list"
The boys are beginning to feel anxious
for their uniforms and arms, and then q

Our field officers are, COL, Z. C Byam;
Lieut.: COL, Capt. Wilds, formerly of the
18th Iowa; Major, Ed. Wright; Adjutaut,

bas- The late meeting of the Iowa
State Teachers Association, at Mt. Pleas.
ant, was decidedly profitable and pleas
affair. Nearly 200 teachers and friends
of education from abroad, were enter
tanned by the good pleople of the place
The lectures and discussions were all an
mated and instructive. Something of a
tumble (nothing strange) occurred on
Wednesday evening, after long aud
tedious days work when the jaded
minds and bodies of the members needed
rest and steep more than any thing else.
The next morning, the tangled thread of
business was taken up, and adjusted,
without difficulty, in very few moments.
An intense interest was manifested on
the subject Of Object Lessons, which was
discussed only brief hour or two. The
remarks of Profs. Wells of Chicago, and
kissell of Davenport, we're received with
much satisfaction and we anticipate a
more prominent place for tho subject at
future meetings.
The delegation from Cedar county was
smaller than usual.
