should not be due to accidental rains or sud den rises Tn capricious streams. By such silly dependence we have lost Fort Henry, and the power of railway communication between Memphis and Bowling Green. As a matter of course, Buells east wing will now be thrown forward to menace the Nash vile road and obtain the command of the Cumberland.
 Bowling Green may have to be evacuated to defend its now sole communication, and the army there stationed must face in the field force numerically superior better armed, and composed of men of as fine lighting qualities as any in the world The result of the taking of Fort Henry and the burning of the bridge on the Tennessee will verify our long standing assertion that the hills to the North of Nashville will be the scene of the decisive battle of this cam palgn, If not of this war.

FORT HENRY FALLEN!

We are forced this morning, as we seriously apprehended, to chronicle the fall of Fort Henry. The enemy attacked the position on yesterday about eleven o'clock, A. M. with five gunboats, and after a bombardment of an hour and q half, compelled q surrender They then proceeded up the Tennessee river and burned the railroad bridge over that stream.
 Our dispatch states that the fate of Gen. TILeHMAN's command who were stationed at the fort, is unknown, and it is possible that they may have made good their escape to Fort Don olson, which is on the left bank of the Cumber land river, only twelve miles distant. We are enabled to state from our own knowledge that the amount of stores and ammunition taken was small The fort was located on the east bank of the Tennessee river, twenty miles below the railroad bridge, and was purely earthwork defense, though of considerable magnitude. It was surrounded by deep ditch and strengthen ed by rifle pits in the rear.
 Only a small portion of Gen. Tilghmans com mand (probably some 300 mem were stationed immediately in the Fort, tho remainder being within supporting distance.
 The armament of the fort was very inferior, consisting of fourteen guns of the following de- scription: One 128-pounder, notpropcrly mount ed, and rendered unserviceabe after being fired twice last Tuesday. One 32 pounder, rifed, the only one that could compete in range with the ten-inch guns of the enemy. The others were 42 and 2l-pornderS
 Only four of our guns were in position so as to IL 1, tl,o
 Submarine batteries were planted below on the east side of the island, and were being laid in the west channel the day of the enemy $ approach, but our plans were disturbed before fully rerfected.-MempLis Appeal, 7h.

TRIRILlTIONS OF TIE YANKEES.

TIon SCHUYLER CoLFAx, Of Indiana, one of the most prominent of the Black hepub- Hcon members of Congress, writes long letter from Washington to his paper, the St, Joseph TaHcy Register, from which we make the following extracts. 1t tells of the troubles that now surround the Yankee gov ernment and will be read with interest: |: The most unpleasant sign l have seen about the whole war iS, that while the volunteer officers are generally burning with zeal to crush out the rebellion by the hardest kind of blows, there are some ot the old army officers who do not dlsguise thelr opinion that many of the rebel leaders are very clever fellows with whom they have tented or messed in by-gone years, that they think this war a Republican war, and if Congress resolves what they do not like, they will resign Such officers (l hope they are not numerous) can scarcely be expected to conceive a bold, vigorous policy, or to enter upon the work of punishing Treason with the zeal the country demands; although once in the battle, l hope they will, as duty, fight for the old flag as bravcly as those who have volunteered specially for its protection and vindication.
 
 The long delay in onward movements also cmbarrasses the government financial ly. We cannot support our armies by theft as the Confederates do-by paying troops in worthless script, manufactured by the scores of millions, without revenue or taxa tion on which to base it-by leyying sup plies on friend and foe, indiscriminately. Our soldiers and all must be paid fully and promptly. Hence the difficulty, when the money is pouring out of the Treasury a stf36TesvSde e'2 ..ystryer re ta. .aftqk- ,a4At moneyed men are convinced by actual de monstration, that the war is to be short.
 
 Let me add one thing here in justice to our x-Commander-in-C Gen. Scott When he showed me, last May, his care fully elaborated plan for movement down the Mississippi river, at fits first autumnal swell" 1 felt dis-spirited that it was to be so long postponed. But he replied that it could not be done earlier and that that was just the time. He was thought "slow" then; but the fotilla has not vet moved. Again, at that time, the whole country was clamorous for more cavalry. He said, to a small extent, for scouting, and for pursuit, the popular demand was just; but he added that it would take six months to drill cavalry to stand the shock of raging battle, and six months more at least to enable them to use their weapons efficiently while controlling their horses at the same time. A different policy, how ever, prevailed. We have now 60,G0O cay airy, equipped and mounted at enormous expense-the horses of those here eat their heads off in expenses every three or four months, 400 condemned ones were sold here six weeks ago at from twenty-five to sixty-dolIars, but they were not bought by Fremont and. then the government is now striving in every honorable way to decrease the number, even to changing them into in fantry regiments.

TIE LATE BATTLE.-A correspondent of the Nashville Banner, connected with Gen. Crittenden's command, writes a letter to that paper, from which we extract the fol- lowing:
 Asto the cause oS the defeat, I can assign no better reason than that we were outnumber- cd, the enemy having a superior force, had selected their own ground, and were fresh, while our men were unacquainted the location, numbers, etc., etc., were very much exhausted, having marched all night through the mud and rain.
 The loss of the Mississippi regiment is es- timatcd at near 200; Col. Battles about 60; Col Stanton's about IS and others very small we have, besides, some 100 wound ed in all. The loss of the Yankees, as told by prisoner who escaped on Monday night, was over GOO.
 Our retreat, although very disastrous, was conducted in a military style. Some 10000 men, a large number of horses, bargage etc., were all crossed over the river from 9 P. NJ. to 6 A. M., and but for a report that q large force was coming below US, to cut off our retreat, our loss of baggage would have been much less.
 That Gen. c. did right in crossing the river and falling back, no one acquainted with the facts can doubt
 Our next encampment, learn, is to be on the river, above Gainsboro, where we are now marching, without tents, axes cooking vessels, or anything in the way ot necessaries. But our boys stand it very well. When we get under way again you may hear from me-

FEDERAL MoyEMENrs.-The following from the Memphis Argps, of yesterday, will be read with interest at this time:
 The resumption of Federal movements around For. Henry indicates that the main plan of 8Uall i.r thc invasion cf Tennessee is ctnng to win clear appreciation of its superiority. The Federal government nar- cciylng that time does not increase the nu- mericai strength of our armies is in small hurry to act and would Le in none but for the outcry oi the Northern press against the eXpenNYeneSs oi the War, and the naughty attitude Of England. 4 show of action, some important success is needed to rcani- mate the Union enthusiasm to a money-giv- ing point. The Burnside expedition was expected to furnish this. Lut the clements fought for us, and 1t failed.
 Federal success along the line of the Po- tomac is yet impossible. successful march to Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis is the only possible attempt within their power to make; and, we stated some days since, on Buell., not on Mr. Mcclellan. row rests the haFoa ef tie Northern r.ge..maat,. if rot those or the Northern T.5p Ei}vcWs plan for the attainment of full pos ssion of Ken lucky, and as the march to three Tennessee cities already named, we detajlel shortly after his appointment to his nresont c,,i- mand, and Federal movements hovc since confirmed the truth of our er,oqe repeatnd m more elaborate form in the columns of the Richmond E.camiaer, the Ri almond JFhy and other leading journals. reitoratel among o'ner ana mlnor papers, the Mem pms ARPeo' ana one ot the Melville papers,
 Aga1n and again have our eIitors warned the government, and that ia a0Dle tipe.- The people of Tennessee mrct now iudoe for themselves whether the Confederate gov ernment has done all it couh do to protect this State from the barbaric horrors that have everywhere attended the presence of the in vading hordes of Lincoln. lVn do not say the government has at all failed in it's duty, because we have ever before Chr eyes q most nervous fear of Messrs. Rovsar & Co.,: but we merely remark that the e,vernment acas warned, and that in face of .he warning it continued until recently Bislop Polk at Co., lumbus, and gave the safe heping of East ern Tennessee into the hands of General Crlttenden. We suppose it a all right. that neither Nashville, Knoxville nor Memphis IS in zeal danger, that unreyalel plans by which they will be saved. md the enemy driven across the Ohio, are a.rced on among our generals, and we may cen believe that the retreat of General Crit,ndon. and the fray at Mill Springs are pas of these plans, as the evacuation of Harpess Ferry was of those of Scott-all we ask i1 this that our readers will remember our sovernment was iorewarned, and that the for warning is dai- ly being verified
 Activity, incessant activity, will now be the programme of Buell. Lcessant watch fulness should be that of alr rulers. Our generals in Kentucky must be as little fet- tered as possible by the authorities at Rich mond and in future the sebty of this State

GREELY DowN ON OLD ABE.-Tho New York I'fbaas of the 25th ult., treats the venerable Abraham as follows:
 MT. Grimes, Senator from Iowa, stated on Tuesday, in the Senate that he had call cd upon the President, on official business. and could not even procure his card admission to that high functionary by the domestic ser wants ot the White House. If such be the experience of Senator, it is not difficult to calculate the chance which private citizen has or getting audience It is just none at all To be sure, there are personal friends Who can obtain access at any time, but all others who get beyond the unpleasant pur- heus of the private secretary, from Illinois, are most fortunate. There was never any President So inaccessible to his fellow-citizens as NIT, Lincoln, and it is to be feared that he may from this cause, be kept in ignorance oi the real state of popular feeling in that part of tke United States which lies north of Kentucky. We, of course, do not believe the President will prove false to those anti slavery sentiments which led the people to transfer him from Springfield to Washing ton' bnt 1t IS not wholesome practice to cut oil intercourse with people of like senti- ments' especially if they happen to be Sen ators.

 PARIS Tenn, February 6, 1SG2.- An engage ment commenced at Fort Henry this morning at Il:45 o'clock
 The Federal gunboats, five in number, under command of Gen. Smith, opened vigorous fire. The action lasted one hour and half during which about one hundred and fifty shots were fired.
 About half past one o'clock, three gunboats were seen lying abreast of the Fort, and one be- low. disabled. We disabled two gunboats be- fore the fight was over.
 Nothing further has been'hcard since our boats left at 1:30. D.

TIE RANK OF GENERAL.-The annexed from the Richmond Dispatch, is worth re- membcring:
 A correspondent, writing from Eliza beth City, N. C., asks, what is the highest rank in the Confederate army-whether simply General or Maior-General? ?"
 The highest rank in the regular army is that of "G2neral" The act of Congress provides for five Generals, who have, we believe been appointed, to take rank in the order in which they are named, viz: Gems. Cooper. Aiicrt Sidney Johnston, Lee, Josepa [. Johnston and Beauregard There can, therefore, be no further appointments except through an amendment of the law by Congrcss

The whole regiment has ob- tained furlough of fifty days, anu num- Der of the officers and men were in our city yesterday on their way home No more efficient corps will be found in the army than this, after its reorganization, and the example afforded by them should be emula- ted by our troops generally.

A GHAsTLY RUMoR.-The Petersburg Er- press of the 3lst inst, says: Intelligence was brought to this city yesterday afternoon by passengers from the South, that the coast of North Carolina was strewn with the bodies of dead men and horses, which had been washed ashore after the late violent gale. They are supposed to be a portion of the men and horses composing the Burnside expedition. What truth there is in this report, we are unable to say, but we arc rather inclined to doubt its correctness. If there should be any confirmation of the ru- nor, it will be found in cur telegraphic columns.
