A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times,
thus gives graphic account OF the attack
and repulse of the rebels on Fort Donelson
on the 18th instant:
They approached the place by three col
umns, 1000 strong. about III o'clock,
the 4th inst, planted 1 pieces of artillery
in semi. circle, and commenced the attack
They were received by the unerring aim
Of the SD Illinois Volunteers, causing great
loss. while they repused them on every side.
Bold aud daring were many of their moves,
but this gallant regiment faltered not, and
continued to pour their deadly fire among
them.
Terrible and desperate was the conflict.
With their overwhelming plumbers they
completely surrounded our force and seem,
ed TO threaten us with perfect annihilation.
but the undaunted courage of the officers
and men soon proved that they had des-
perate and determined foe before them
Several times, just when they thought they
were about to obtain the prize, our men
would up and at them, pouring such a raking
fire into their charging columns as to com
pletely bewilder and rout them with great
slaughter.
One little incident will show what the
Rebels expected. Having exhibited such
large force, and completely surrounded
our men. they thought it was about time
for us to surrender. like many others had
done, and they began 10 be out of patience
at our mems foolish tenscity. as they termed
it, and determined to make a charge upon
the siege gun, which they hoped to capture
and decide the contest. Two Rebels more
venturesome than the rest, rode rapidly to
the advance OF the charging force, and ven-
tured little advice--yelling out, '.Youd-d
fools you don't know when to surrender
don't you see you are completely surround
ed ?" Our gallan, little force at this point
did not appreciate this admonition-but Jus,
then bang went the old gun, blowing Mr..
Rebels and horses to atoms. repulsing the
charge and saving this point again. / saw

feet from the gun when it went of, loaded

GEN. TIiiroy and the ENQUIRER,

General Milroy is fool. His letter,
wicked and vjrulent as it is, would be not
worth a second thought, but for other con-
siderstions = enquirer.
General AIilroy is one of tie heroes OF
this war, lighting man all over, who has
fought many battles and has never yet met
with defeat. He is. too, good sound Dem
ocrat, and has been one ali his life. Why
does the Enquirer call him fooll Why,
because Gen. Milroy, indignant as all the
heroes of the nation are, at the insidious at
ternpts a. treason in the North, has written
a letter in which he uses the following Ian
guage:
IL join with my fellow soldiers of the I'm
ion every where in warning those traitors a,
home, that when We have crushed armed
treason at the South and restored the SOW
ereigniy of our Government over these mis-
guided States, (Which, under God, we will
surely do.) we will. upon our return, while
our hands are in. also exterminate treason
at the North, if need be, and seal, by the
blood of traitors, wherever found, the per.
manent peace of our country, and the per
petuity Of Free Government to all future
generations"
Such language, in the opinion of the En-
quirer, makes a man fool IL Gin. Times

Concluding that discretion was the better

came up and opened fire on them, causing
confusion worse confounded, bringing vivid

SINGULAR FREAK OF A Cow AND Pro
Some weeks since l purchased of Mr.. Pettee
of Lakeville, Conn, Berkshire pig, then
about six weeks old. She was put into a
pen by herself but being very uneasy.
managed to effect her escape, and took up
her abode by the side of the COW, making
her rest in the stall with her. No notice
was taken of this strange freak of her pig
ship, until few days after, when our usual
quantity of milk was observed to decrease
without any perceptible reason. The pig
was. however, noticed to grow very rapidly,
and to become more strong y attached TO
the cow, while she in turn lowed and be
came very uneasy if the pig went outside
of the barn. The milk finally decreased at
such rapid rate. that we were obliged
either TO buy or separate these two sim
gularly firm friends, as one night. on going,
the pig was found busily employed nursing.
This at once explained the mystery. when
the pig was of course entirely removed from
the barn, but it was many days before the
COW became recouciled to the loss of her pet.
mourning for her as il for a calf. Others
may have noticed such an attachment, but
to me it seemed a strange freak, both on
the part of the COW and the rig.--Corres
