Fight at Fort Donslson.
Rspulss Of the Rebels with Loss of
1856 Killed.
Col. Frank MoNairy Killed.

A dispatch from Colonel Lowe,
daed the 4th inst, from Fort
Donelson to Gen. MITCHELL, says,
that the rebels, commanded by
Generals WHEELER, FoRREsr, and
WHARTON, consisting of eleven
regiments of cavalry, and from
eight to eleven pieces of artillery,
attacked Fort Donelson on the Sd
inst; at fouro'clock in the morning.
Our force consisted of two regi-
menis of infantry, battalion of
the 9th Iowa cavalry, with one
battery and three siege guns of the
fort. The rebels were soon driven
back. They renewed the attack
several times with equally poor
success, and were finally repulsed
in great confession on the morning
OF the 4th. Col. HARDING and the
garrison fought heroically. Col.
FRANK MoNAIRY was among the
killed on the rebel side, and For
REsTi is wounded. After the retreat
of the rebels, one hundred and
thirty-five dead rebels were picked
up on the field and Inferred
Prisoners are being brought in

JEFF Davis, in response to a serenade
at Richmond, on his return from the
Southwest, made a lengthy speech, as

THE ACE OF Man Few men die of
age. Almost all persons die of disap-
pointment, passional, mental or bodily
toll, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes even suddenly. The common
expression choked with passion" has
little eXaggeraiion in it, for even though
not suddenly atal,strong passions shorten
life. Strong bodied men often die young
weak men live longer than the stroug,

Americans in Paris.

A Paris letter to the National
htel5igincer, dated the 9th instant,
says:
"Great numbers OF Americans are
flashing into Paris just now from various
parts of the continent of Europe to spend
the gayest part Of the winter season in
the French capital. The salons of the
American Minister are crowded with
company on the days of reception, and
the American churches display the same
increase in numbers. In fact in society
and the haW ton of French fashionable
life, the United States are as well repre-
sented as ever at this centre of European
civilization; and can perceive that this
fact is not without its force and influence
in official circles.
"The first grand ball Of the season was
given on Wednesday, the 9TH, at the Tuil-
cries, and was attended by about three
thousand persons. 1t was especially re-
marked how many Americans had re ceiv-
ed invitations; amongst whom, of course,
were the Minister of the United States
and his family"

How We GET Ok WITHoT COTTON
We are indebted TO the Rev. Mr. Wood,
minister at large in Lowell, for a copy of
his eighteenth annual report. 1t makes
the significant statement that, while the
families of operatives in Lancashire and
other mill districts in England, are in a
starving condition, there has been in
Lowell, the largest manufacturing city
on the continent, even less demand than
common for the exercise Of charity -
This is accounted for, in part, by the
fact that a considerable number of fe-
male operatives, when the mills closed,
returned TO their homes in the country,
carrying with them the means Of subsis-
tence earned and saved, or leaving be-
hind their earnings deposited in the
saving banks. The war, moreover, has
given employment to a large number Of
male operatives, whose monthly pay, to-
gether with the work found 10 the pre-
paration of clothing for the army, has
furnished the necessaries of life TO hun
dreds Of the resident population. The
amount deposited in the different saving
banks in Lowell is rather more than
S8,600,O0O, exceeding this year by many
thousands the deposits Of previous years.

GENTLEMEN I am directed to request
that you will notify the public that Gen.
Roseerans deeply regrets that the neces-
stiles of the public service prevent him
allowing even the loyal citizens of the
North to visit Murfreesboro for the pur-
pose Of seeing sick and wounded friends,
or on private business, especially those
who desire to remove the remains Of the
dead.
The wounded and sick in the hospi-
tails at Murfreesboro receive every atten.
ton possible. There are no accomma-
dations here for strangers, and the Nash
vile and Murlreesboro pike is already
so much worn and cut up that it will
not accommodate the regular Govern
ment transportation.
Such notice may save many persons
the time and expense of making visits to
Nashville and back.
Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
G. P. THRUSTON, Capt and A. DC.

APPLES, &c, FOR THE SoLDIERs.-A week
or two since there was an article in our col
umns suggesting the furnishing of apples and
vegetables for our soldiers. We are pleased to
learn that the suggestion has been responded
to quite literally, though not as much so as it
should be. Many barrels of fruit have been
forwarded, and more are ready to CO. Yes
terday gentleman from Windham brought in
eighteen bushels of apples which had been col
lected by kind hearted lady, Mrs. Ellen Gus
lin, of that town, among few of her neighbors.
Let others go and do likewise.
Mr.. c. c. Hayes, in letter dated at Stone
man Station, says: "There is good reason TO
believe that the health OF the regiments would
be vastly improved il good vegetables could
much sought after; potatoes have very nearly
given out; apples would aid very materially,
in improving the sanitary condition of the
regiments. If the good farmers who have
plenty of corn, would contribute Indian meal,
so that each regiment could have barrel, it
would be the very best article that could be
sent for hospital purposes"
We hope our farmers and fruit growers will
attend TO the above suggestions and pour in
supplies Of these articles with liberal hands,
They can be delivered here at the new City
Hall, where they will be attended to aud for
warded as the donors desire.

the progress of that cause on this continent,
