THE FORT SAVED BY GUNBoATs.


BY the following dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune it appears that fort Donelson was
saved from capture by the rebels, in their late
attack upon it, only by the timely arrival of
several gunboats -
CAIRO, Feb. lO.-In all published accounts
of the late battle at fort Doncson, it appears
that, from some reason or other, all mention
of the fact that the gunboat fleet under COM
mand of Capt. Leroy Fitch, participated, has
been omitted; but this will probably be rene
died in Col. Hardng's official report to Col.
Lowe, commanding the three forts-Donelson
Herman, and Henry. From a participating
officer of the light draught gunboat fleet, who
arrived to-day, have obtained the following
regarding the part taken in the battle by the
naval forces -
1t seems that on the Sd inst, the gunboats
Lexington, Capt. Leroy Fitch; st. Clair,
Capt. j. S. IIurd; Brilliant, Capt. Charles Il.
Parkins Silver Lake, Capt. Robert Rulley;
and Robb, Capt Joseph Yandy-all under the
command Of Capt. Fitch, were engaged as
conveys to forty -two transports, carrying men
and stores-the men commanded by General
Beard-to RosecranS' army. When about ~
miles from fort Donclson, information was
received of the desperate straits OF our troops
al the tort unuer LOl. llaTulng'
The gunboatS left the transports and then
steamed as fast as possible to the aid Of Fort
Donelson. 1t was eight o'clock in the eve
ming when they arrived. They took position
and opened upon the rebels, who were invest
ing the fort on three Sides and must have had
possession in less than half an hour. The
gunboat Lexington followed with her heavy
guns, and others Of the fleet soon went in
with great effect. The st. Clair, lying oppo-
site our forces, had to go to another position,
and she opened upon the cOnfederateS. From
the number of dead bodies brought in from
the locality covered by her guns, and where
the eighty-third Illinois regiment had done no
fighting, it seems the st. Glars aim was most
effective.
Previous to the arrival of the gunboats the
rebels had sent a second flag of truce demand
ing the surrender of the fort, but Col. Hard
ing had firmly refused. He had hopes of
holding out until Col. Lowe could send him
reinforcements, and if they failed to arrive,
and, as he and his officers unite in saying,
had the boats tarried half an hour longer,
they would have been compelled to surrender.
They had held the fort six hours. Their am
munition was nearly expended, and all the
men tired out with hard fighting.
The rebel force was several thousand Our
force was less than 600 all told, but when the
gunboats appeared Col. Harding ordered firing
to cease, and drew his men into as small a
compass within the works as possible, that
they might not be injured by shot and shell,
and awaited the result, giving the conclusion
of the battle entirely to the fleet. Right well
did they finish what the brave Illinois troops
| and Floods battery had well commenced
| The rebels took fright, broke ranks, fled, and
| ran pell-mell, heller shelter, like sheep, witt

To THE Coop SAMARITANs OF WORCESTER.
The calls for assistance from those who have
the care of the freed slaves are constant and
urgent; for whether the master has run from
them or they from their master, the result Is
the same-they are destitute. This fact IS
apparent; and as christian women we wish to
meet it. In plain terms, we wish to raise
money, and ask your cooperation in this
work of charity. BY the advice and assist
ance of our friends we have planned party,
which we hope will meet with general patron
age. We have selected the anniversary OF
Washingtons birthday as an appropriate time,
and as Sunday is the 22d, have engaged Me
chanics' Hall for our use, for Monday evening
following. We have engaged music for
promenade, and are promised, by many of our
young friends, that they will make it in good
degree Il fancy costume party. With our
beautiful hall, our fine music, smiling young
faces, and hearts made happy by the CON
seriousness of well doing, we shall brighten
the social chain among ourselves, and relieve,
! though we can not cure, the misery entailed
| by bondage on others.
The price Of tickets, and other arrange
ments, we reserve for future consideration.
If any friends of the contrabands are unable
to attend the party we shall gratefully receive
the amount of their sympathy in money, wear
ing apparel, or articles for the hospital but
we hope the good Samaritans Of the city will
at that time resolve themselves into COM
mittee of the whole on the relief question and
report generous bill for the purpose.
