It is deemed possible with little excava-

The Tax bill will not be reported from

The tobacco interest consumed a consider
able part of Saturdays session, and other
interests argued and clamored for justice
and reduction.
Senator Grimes bills authorizing the
President to issue letters-of-marque and
reprisal is set down for consideration in
the Senate tomorrow. The vote by which
it was taken up yesterday is decisive in
iicatiOn of its passage by large major
ity. Senators Sumner and Trumbull will
probably speak against it.
The Conscription bill is also set down
for tomorrow. An amendment will be
moved calculated to bring under its opera
tions foreign born citizens who are voters
under the laws of the States in which they
reside, or have fled declarations of inten-
tiOn to become citizens. Another amend
ment will probably be proposed enabling
drafted men, in lieu Of providing substi-

offered as bounty for the re-enlistment
Of nine months and three years men.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
Times special:
Lieutenant Colonel Door, Of Fosters
staff, arrived to-day direct from Port Royal
with dispatches for the Government. He
utterly denies the recent sensation reports
with regard to q quarrel between Hunter
and Foster. The same denial is made BY
the President, and no reason exists to be-
lieye that anything occurred likely to i'm
pair the efficiency Of our army in the De-
partment Of the South.
Two refugees who left Richmond last
Wednesday, state that five brigades of
troops from the Confederate army at Fred
ericksburg passed through Richmond last
Sunday, apparently on the way to Charles
ton. Thursday the main body Of the rebel
army stretched along the railroad between
SextOn's Junction and Fredeaicksburg-
They estimate these forces at 10000 to
$4,000. Great anxiety is felt in Richmond
in regard to the anticipated attack upon
Charleston by our forces. The rebels
greatly dread our ironclads. The Army
of the Rappahannoek is very poorly sup
piled with clothing, and haven't been paid
for seven months. A great deal of dissat-
isfaction exists in consequence. The sup
ply of provisions is ample.

Correspondence Of the CLEVELAND LEADER
STEAMBOAT VESASeo, FoRT D0NEEsoS, |

Correspondence Of the CLEVELAND LEADER.l
STEAMBOAT vESASeo, FORr DoNEEsoS,l
February 4th, 1868.
In my last we had embarked on the
steamer Clara Poe, and were ready for a
asovs We knew not where. We were soon
in motion, and one whole week we spent
on the waters of the Ohio. Nothing Of i'm
portanee occurred until we had left the
Ohio, and in company with a numerous
craft, barges, steamers, and gunbOats, we
arrived at Fort Donelson, little out-of-
the-way place, yet big in history. We
were too late to participate in the fight
how much we regret it-for had We been
there a few hours sooner we might have
captured the whole force of the enemy.
Their plan was laid with consummate
skill, and they were confident they were
able TO capture our whole feet, but to ac-
complish this Fort Donelson must be taken,
as it lay right in their way. This was de-
Tended by the S3d Illinois, Colonel Hardin,
$50 men, one huge siege gun, and bat
terry Of six guns. Against this smallforce
was arrayed three rebel brigades, esti-
mated at from 4 1000 to 8,000men, with ten
pieces Of artillery Colonel Hardin's lit
tie force was divided into eight divisions,
Of two companies each, and were stationed
at the guns in different parts Of the field.
How they Fought Wherever the enemy
appeared there they met determined oppo-
sition first here then there; now double
quicking to their quarters to keep the
enemy out, now to the Fort TO keep pos
session of it, then back again TO their en-
trenchments; all the time dealing with
terrible effect "eanisfsr and grape from the
large siege gun, which turned in any di-
rection. Three times the enemy charged
upon the guns, and three times were they
gallantly repulsed. One brave fellow rode
to within twenty feet of loaded gun, and
demanded its surrender. The words were
hardly spoken ere he was literally blown
to pieces.
The battle ragged until s o'clock P NJ,
when the enemy fell back, massed their
forces, and prepared for a more desperate
struggle. Just then our gunboats arrived,
and quickly decided the day. After firing
forty rounds the enemy skedaddled and
fed in fine style. have visited the battle
field, and to a soldier who never before
witnessed such scenes the sight truly was
horrible. The battlefield extended in diff
ferent directions to the distance Of one
mile or more, and everywhere could be
seen signs Of the dreadful carnage-hers
q horse, there rider, and again horses
and riders in one mingled, bloody mass
eyes upturned, features distorted, hands
cleHched In the hour of maddened strife
had their souls departed.
Our loss in killed was eleven, among
whom was Captain Philo Reed, formerly
Of Warren, Trumbull county, a brave man,
and highly esteemed; in wounded, fifty
The boys Of the 125th are quite healthy,
and unite in sending kind wishes to their
friends.
