LOSS HEAVY ON BOTH SIDES.
A special despatch to the St. Louis Democrat
says that Commander Foote reached here at
twelve o'clock last night, on board the gunboat
Conestoga. He stormed Fort Donelson on
Friday afternoon, with the gunboats St. Louis,
Louisville, Pittsburg, Carondelet, Tyler and
Conestoga. After fighting a little over an hour
be withdrew.
Filtyfour were killed and wounded on our
gunboats. Pilots Rilay and Hinton being
among the wounded.
Commander Foote, while standing on the
pilot house of the St. Louis, his flag ship, was
slightly wounded.
The St. Louis was hit by sixty-one shots
Two of the gunboats were disabled. The Ty
ler and Conestoga remained out of the range of
the enemy's guns.
The line of battle was as follows :
The St. Louis on the right, next the Louis
ville, then the Pittsburg and the Carondelet on
the left.
The enemy's firing was very accurate. They
had three batteries, one near the water's edge,
one fifty feet above this, and a third fifty feet
above the second. The upper one mounted
four eighteen pounders. This was held in re
serve until our boats got within four hundred
yards of the Fort.
Our fire was directed principally at the water
battery. One of the enemy's guns burst and a
number were dismounted.
The enemy could be seen carrying the dead
out of the trenches.
All the gunboats were left up the Cumberland,
except the Conestoga. ,She left there yesterday
morning.
A rifled gun on the Carondelet burst, killing
six men.
The rudder of the Pittsburg was shot away.
The mortar boats left here yesterday morn
ing for Fort Done!soh.
The above is gleaned from statements made
by gentlemen who were aboard the St Louis
during the engagement.
LATER.
A gentleman who left Fort Donelson yester
day, at 3 o'clock, P. M., and reached here at
noon to-day, says that the fight had been going
on all day yesterday. The right wing of , the
enemy's fortification were taken, and the stars
and stapes were waving over them. The forces
were breast to breast, and the fight was to be
renewed.
STILL LATER.
CAuto, - Feb. 10 .—The Steamer Minehaha art iv
ed here from Fort Donelson, having left the fort
at 5 o'clock last evening bringing a military mail
and despatches, and One hundred and fifty of
the wounded to the hospital at Paducah. The
fight commenced on Thursday and was contin
ued on Friday and Saturday. Tao fight during
the latter day was desperate.
The Illinois Eighteenth regiment suffered
severely, and the lowa Seventh regiment sus
tained considerable loss.
Swart' 'battery, which was taken by the
enemy, was re-captured by our men.
Two colonels were wounded, and two killed
The loss is heavy on both sides
The upper fort was taken at four o'clock, and
the Union flag now floats over it.
Our troops behaved with great gallantry.
The gunboats St. Louis, Louisville, and Pitts;
burg were disabled.
The Minehalia met the mortar boats at Pa
ducah, going up.
ST. Louts, Feb. 16.—Despatches received at
head-quarters say that all the gunboats are
pretty effectually disabled except one. Coin
wander Foote was wounded twice but not fa
tally. The upper redoubt taken by our troops,
commands Fort Donelson, and General Grant
telegraphs that he would he able to capture
the fort to-day, (Sunday.)
THE VERY LAMT.
The city is wild • with excitement, and rejoi
cing at the news just made public that the
American flag waves over Fort Donelson.
The loss is heavy on both sides.
One of General Grant's batteries was taken
by the rebels, but was re-captured by our
troops.
The gunboats are said to be badly damaged.

three miles, since four o'clock yesterday after
noon, besides bridging rivers, The papers that
were taken from our prisoners, and my own
reconnoisances to the South prove that the
country is clear, and Jackson and Loring are iu

We occupied the Bloomery Gap and Point

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.
The followinc , order was issued to-day
following order
Feb 15th, 1852
The President, commander in-chief of the
army and navy, returns thanks to Brigadier
Gen. Burnside and Flag Officer Goldshorough,
and to Brigadier General Grant and Flag Offi
cer Foote, and ths laud and naval forces under
their respective commands. for their gallant
achievement iu the capture 01 Roanoke Island
and Fort Beery.
While it will be no ordinary pleasure for
him to acknowledge and reward in a becom
ing manner the valor of the living, he alsO
recognizes it as his duty to pay a fitting honor
to tue memory of the gallant dead. The
charge at Boauoke Island, like the bayonet
charge at Mill Springs, proves that the close
grapple and sharp steel of loyal and patriotic
soldiers must always put rebels to flight.
The late achievements of the navy show
that the flag of the Union once borne in proud
glory around the world by naval heroes, will
Isom again float over every rebel city and
stronghold ; and that it shall forever be hon
ored and respected as the emblem of Liberty
and Union in every land and upon every sea.
By order of the President.

The Star of this evening learns from a gen
tleman who came direct from Roanoke Island,
that Col. Russell of the Tenth Connecticut regi
men, fell dead from his horse at the head of
his regiment, while marching against the ene
my. Strange as it may appear not a scratch
was found upon his body when examined, and
his death must have come from the wind of a
cannon ball or from excitement.
Lieut. Col. Del Lintel, who volunteered in
the assault upon the ieb,l bittery, received his
.let.th wound while lea Hug the advance, and
while in the act of ahouticg, "Come on b.os,
we'll show them how t fight."
In the cou-se of the action, a shell burst on
the United States gunb hat I:Litz:4, and set her
m:gazine on fire. Lieut. Fr aztxlie, her exec
utive officer, ordered the men to tne magazine
to extinguish the fire, but seeing to at they
nesitated, he took the 11,ft in his own
hands and sprang down and extiagaieue 1 the
flames before they reached the po , der. A 44 , 12-
titti occurrence took place ou the Cores from the
bursting of agar', when ac jag -tut ter Diarmid
sprung into the magazine and extuaguiabect the
tire. A shell entered the coal bunko of another
of our steamers, setting them on fire. Tne
flames were subdued atter mu diffiCulty, with
nut little damage to the vessel.

The Battle at Roanoke Island,
FURTHER REBEL ACCOUNTS.
FORTRESS MONROE, Feb. 16
A flag of truce was seat to Craney Island to
day with one or two passangers. Nune were
Drought back.
The Southern papers received contain little of
interest.
The Norfolk Day Book says their total loss
dutiug the battle at Roanoke Isl it'd was eight
killed and thirty wounded. Two of the latter
died subsequently—Captain Wise and private
Burnett, of the Richmond Blues.
The killed are Captain 0 J. Wis', Captain
Robert Coles, Lieutenant William B. Seldon and
seven privates.
The Day Book says, that 2,500 prisoners were
ia,ken, and that they will be paroled for ex
change, and Sent immediately to Norfolk.
A gentleman who arrived from Currituck
Sound, yesterday, says that several of the Fid
eral gunboats arrived at tbe canal on Thur,day
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, and commfnced firing
shot and shell upon the rebels, who were enga
ged in destroying the canal.
The storm delays the sailing of the Stars and
Stripes and the Jersey Blue for Hatteras.
SUDDEN DEATOB.--Dr. Hall, in his iournal of
Health, says that very few sudden deaths which
are said to arise from disease of the heart do
really arise from that cause. To ascertain the
real origin of sudden deaths, the doctor says
the experiment has been tried iu Europe, and
reported to a scientific Congress held at 'Sires
burgh. Sixty-six caves of sudden deaths Were
made the subjects of a thorough post mortem
examination. In these cases only two were
found who died from disease of the heart.—
Nine out of the sixty-six died from appoplexy,
while there were forty-six cases of con cation
i
of the lungs ; that s, the lungs were so full of
blood they could not work, there not being
room enough for a sufficient quantity of air to
enter to support life. The doctor goes on to
enumerate the causes that may produce con
gestion of the lungs. They are cold teet, tight
shoes, tight clothing, costiveness, sitting still
until chilled through after tieing warmed by la
bor or a rapid walk, going too suddenly from a
close heated room into the cold air, especially
after speaking, and sudden depressing news
o.)erating on the blood. These causes of sud
den death being known, as avoidance of them
'nay serve to lengthen our valuable lives,
which would otherwise be lost under the very
diet of a heart complaint. That disease is
supposed to be incurable, and hence men may
not take the pains they would to avoid sudden
death if they knew it lay in their power.
