Write LEGIBLY.-It is stated by one
who knows, that great many persons
who write to the Government Depart
ments on business. receive no attention,
for the reason that they write their names
in such style as to be wholly unintelli-
gible. Fancy signatures never trouble
the clerks much for the instant they dis.
cover trouble in deciphering them, the
communications to which they are ap'
pended, are thrown aside.

Story ON A BRAVE Boy Captain Boggs,
of the Varuna, tells a story of bravo boy
who was on board his vessel during tho
bombardmont OF tho forts below New Or
leans. The lad, who answers to the name
OF Oscar, is but thirteen years Of age, but
has an old head on his shoulders, and is
alert aud energetic. During tho hottest OF
the fire he was engaged in passing ammuni.
tion to the gunners, and narrowly escaped
death, when one of the broadsides of tho
Varuna's rebel antagonist was poured in.
Covered with dirt and begrimmed with pow
der, ke was met by Captain Boggs, who
nsked "Where he was going in such hurry ?
"To get a passing box, sir; tho other one
was smashed by II ball" And so throughout
the eight the brave boy held his place and
did his duty.
When the Varuna went down, the Captain
missed his boy and thought he was among
tho victims of tho battle. But few min.
utes afterwards he saw tho lad galIantly
swimming to wards tho wreck. Clambering
on board of Captain Bogg's boat, he throw
his hand W to his forehead, giving tho usual
salute, and uttering only the words, "All
right, sir | report myself on board" passed
coolly to his station. So young lad, so
brave and cool in danger, will mako himself
known as years go over his head.

FoRT DoNELsoN.- According TO our dis
patches from ST. Louis, fort Donelsoa has fall
Ell into the hands of the federal troops. The
fight was begun on Thursday last week, by an
attack of the federal troops, assisted by one Of
the gunboats On Friday Commodore Foote
arrived with five or six gunboats, and bonn
barded the batteries for an hour and quarter.
His boats were considerably damaged, and he
afterwards left for Cairo to bring up more.
The severest fighting took place after this at
tack of the gunboats, and especially on Satur-
day, when at four o'clock the main battery,
which commands the position, was captured,
so that Gen. Grant was sure of completing the
work yesterday.
The fist telegraphic announcement from ST
Louis was, Fort Donelson is taken: we will
send the particulars to night" But the par
ticulars do not seem TO us to warrant this an
nouncement without some qualification l
the dispatches from St. Louis and Cairo are cor
rect, the victory was decided Saturday ant
the work OF capture completed yesterday. L
will be noticed, however, that the dispatches
from Chicago does not confim this report
Did our friends at ST. Louis begin to shout be
fore they were quite tout of the woods? o.
is their intelligence later than that which
comes by way OF Chicago?
