.APTURE OF TT. DONELSON
UTlclaI Despatch from Com. E0ote.
WAsu1sGroy, Feb. 16.-The following des-
patch was this morning received at the Navy
Department, from Flag Ofcer Foota:
u. S. FLAG SHIP ST. LOUIS,
NEAR Fort DoNELsoN, VIA
-
PADUCAH. Feb, l5, 1862.

l made an attack on Fort Donelson yester
day at 3 O'Clock P. n, with four iron clad
gunboats, and two wooden ones, and after
one hour and a quarter severe fighting the
latter part Of the day, within less than 400
yards of the fort, the wheel of the vessel and
the dller Of the Louisville were shot away,
the tgo boats unmanageable. They
then drifted down the river.
The two remaining boats were greatly dam
aged between wind and water. This vessel
alone received 50 shots, and the others about
half that number each. There were 81 killed
and wounded in this attack, which we have
reason to suppose would in fifteen minutes
more, could the action have been continued
have resulted in the capture of the fort bear
ing upon US, as the enemy was running from
his batteries when the two gunboats drifted
helplessly down the river from the disabled
steering apparatus, as the relieving tackles
could net steer the vessels, when the fleeing
enemy returned TO the river battery guns,
from which they had been driven, and again
hotly poured their fire upon US.
The enemy must have brought over twenty
guns 10 bear upon our boats from the water
battery and the main fort on the hill, while
we could only return the fire with twelve of
the boats guns from the four boats. One of
the rifed guns aboard the Carondelet burst
during the action. The officers and men in
this hotly contested but unequal fight behav-
ed with the greatest gallantry and determi
nation, all deploring the accident which rem
dered two of our gunboats suddenly helpless
in the narrow river and swift current
On consultation with Gen. Grant and my
own officers, as my services here until we can
reF air damages by bringing up competent
force from Cairo to attack the fort, are much
less required than they are at Cairo, l shall
proceed to that place.

Small Notes.

We perceive that bill has been report
ed in the State Senate authorizing the IS
sue Of snail notes by the banks to the
amount of % per cent of their capital
We trust there is honesty enough in the
Legislature to crush this project; but
should it pass both houses, we hope Gov.
Curtin Will not hesitate moment ia veto
ing it. The small notes already in circu-
lation have almost driven gold dollars and
silver coin out of sight, although i is we'll
known that there is more gold and silver
in the United States by millions than was
ever held before
Should such a bill become a law, the
" wild eat" banks would be the first to take
advantage Of it, and food the State with
an Irresponsible trash which people would
be compelled to take out Of ncce-sity, but
every man would part with as soon as
possible; and then, when the day Of reckon
ing comes, the public will have to bear the
loss. If more small notes are to be issued,
let the State put them cut. These the
people would not only cheerfuIly take, bnt
keep for the purpose Of paying taxes
while no one will lay aside the present
small notes, because there Is no security
whatever that when wanted they will be
worth anyth,Dg

STraugh of the Holldaysburg Standard
lately made the random declaration that he
would rather endorse the democracy of the
SelinsgrOve Times than that of Lewis of the
Huntingdon Globe As the Times is but
rehash of what was formerly published in the
New York Day Book, we think the Standard
has made slip of the pen, the ghost of which
may yet rise up in Judgment against him
For cur part we weuld much sooner endorse
the democracy of Traugh's old friends in the

private letter. written on board the gun

ter the cannonade of the enemy's batteries by
our naval forces, landing of the military
was commenced about half past four o'clock
on Friday evening at Ashby's barber, about
two and a half miles below the rebel fort Bar
tow, Of nine 81 Founders The landing was
effected under cover of the guns Of two Of our
gunbCats, the Delaware and Morse, which,
with shrapnel, drove away and dispersed two
rebel regiments that were stationed there, with
three feldpieces, to oppose ;heir landing. Our
men were up to their middle in mud and wa
ter in landing. When on shore they found
the three rebel feldpieces in the mo4ass.
By nine p. m, that night, General Burn
side had landed six thousand men, and con-
tinuod landing them through the night at the
rate OF one thousand per hour. The land
movement against the encmy's batteries was

their intrenchments, where they resisted
Eight mortars were landed from the feet to

knee deep through mud and water to get at
the fort, and yelling like so many Indians
M ear while, detour was made on the right
10y Gen. Reno, and left by Gen. Foster. This
attack, from three sides, decided the fate of
the day. The rebels fed from their intrench
ments before the array of cold steel was
brought to bear against them. The Hawkin's s
Iouaves leaped the front defences bayonet in
hand, as the rebels fed Young Wise was
not wounded here, as repert has had it, bat
