FORT DoNAELs0a ours ]

ST.. Louis, Feb. 18.--The Republican
Fort Donelson correspondent gives the fol
lowing account of the fighting on Saturday:
Yesterday morning just at daylight heavy
sortie was made by the garrison from the
left portion OF their works. This attack was
made upon the extreme right wing Of the
Union army, where it was wrecked.
Part OF Gen. McClernand's division. un-
der Colonel Oglesby. consisting of his brig
ade, which was stationed there, also
Schwartz and McAllister's batteries. The
point was upon a ridge leading into the right
redoubt, and was situated just above the
main fort.
During the night the enemy could be
heard busily at work. but what at il was
impossible to tell. rs thickets and woods
encompassed the Union troops on the enc
my's side. rendering the view in any direc-
ton almost impossible.
AT aylight large body of the enemy
suddenly appeared on the extreme right
wing of Col. Oglesby's command. and o.
redoubts playing at the same time upon our
forces from guns placed in position on the
night previous.
The camp of the Twenty ninth and
Thirty first Illinois was most exposed. and
the whole brigade was at once formed into
line as follows: Eighteenth Illinois held
the extreme right, the Eight Illinois next.
the Thirtieth Illinois next, then the Twen-
ty-nin'h Illinois. supporting the right of
of Capt. Schwartz's battery, the Thirty
first Illinois defending the artillery on the
left. From the firing of the first gun until
nine O'Clock the battle ragged unremittingly.
and with fearful loss on both sides.
Again and again our troops drove the en-
envy back, but they were often re enforced
while our troops had, owing to the extend
ed lines Of the army. and also their position
on the extreme right. to fight unassisted
More gallant lighting never took place
than that Of the Union troops exposed to the
terrible firing Of triple their number
They stood their ground until. in some reg
iments. every ouicer was killed or wounded.
At last, and reluctantly, regiment BY regi-
ment they slowly fell back, leaving
Schwarts's Battery and three of McAllis-
ter's guns in the rebels hands.
Retiring few hundred yards; they sgain
made stand. and Gen. Smith arrived with
re-enforcements. and at once drove the en-
envy again into their works.
In FIRST Of the battle was also General
Wallace's brigade. the Eleventh. Twelfth
Seventeenth and Forty eight; also. Col.
MoAr,hur's brigade, all Of which troons
suffered severely.
Opposed to them were twelve thousand
rebels. supported BY guns placed carefuly
in position.
Gen. Grant having command of divis-
ion. drove back With re- euforceme n,s and
gained the lost grousd. and At cnce ordered

Changing under hot fire mp the steep hill,
on which was the outer redoubt, our troops
gained the high breast works, and with
hardly spause, went over them, planting

The War--Siavery---Th Practical
Idea.

Occasional Of the Philsdeldhia Press,
gives the following as the practical mode Of
conducting the war with respect to slavery.
The practical idea is to let slavery be dis
posed Of by military necessities and the
course of events. II slaves come within our
lines from the plantations beyond the lines.
use them. If they bring Information, act
upon their Information. If they can work
on Notifications, or dig Entertainments. or
erect barracks and hospitals. use their Ser
vices. clothe aud feed and and pay them. II
necessary arm them. II they are the slaves
of Rebels, free them; take Caneron's plan
or Fremont's plan, or any plan that is just
and feasible. Remember our oblig atiors to
orr friends in the Border States. Remem
Der that Rebels forfeit all their rights, and it
is proper to turn those forfeited rights to the
use osthe Government they are endeavor
ing to destroy.
The theory on which this war is prose
cu,ed is a theory assuming the existence OF
usurp,d tyranny in certain portions OF the
Union, which keeps in ,hraldom large
portion of our loyal people, and declares the
purpose of the war 10 be the termination OF
this tyranny by utterly conquering and ex-
terminating those maintaining it. Where
ever slavery interferes with this purpose let
slavery be abolished. just as We abolish the
Rebels right 10 life, liberty. citizenship: but
as an existing constitutional right. however
disagreeabie and Injurious it nay be. we
are bound 70 respec- and recognize 1t wher
in the possession of loyal men.
