PITTSBUROH, MARCH 1, 1882
The Battle at Ft. Dorielson.
Fort Donelson proved to be a much
stronger and more extensive work than was
expected by our Generals, and was defended
by a larger army. The fighting on the 13th
was more in •theeharaoter of reeonnoisatees
than of a serious assault. Our Generals
were examining into the position and
strength of their foe. But one of the gun
boats had arrived, and that one not till late
in 'the day. It then threw a few shells at
the water battery. The night was ex
tremely unpleasant, with rain and snow,
and our troops being utterly without shel
ter, suffered greatly.,
Friday was extremely cold. Oar troops
bad found the enemy's fortification to be
some six miles in extent, but had not found
the parts where they might be assailed
with the best prospect of success, There
was very little done by the land forces this
day. The reinforcements which had ar
rived by the river, were. landed and
arranged. The gunboats, six in number,
having arrived, engaged the water bat
tery, but not with the success which at
tended theta at Ft. Henry. This was not
owing so much to a superiority in the num
ber and weight of the enemy's guns as to
their position. At Ft. Henry they were
all on a level bank, not much higher, than
the guns on our boats and hence while the
boats moved on to close quarters, they
could keep their range and do steady exe
cution, on equal terms. But at Ft. Donal
son, the enemy's batteries were on a hill
side, ranged in three tiers, giving them,
great advantage& After two hours' con
test, two of the best boats were rendered
unmanagable and floated down stream. All
then withdrew.
Friday night was cold and cheerless.
The ground was covered with snow, and our
men without tents. This, in the presence
of a strong fortifledition and a numerous
foe, was adajpted to make citizen soldiers,
accustomed to their warm houses, soft beds,
and well-spread tables, think that warfare in
its reality is no fun.
But Saturday was the daY of real trial.
Gen. Grant, on the retiring of the gun
boats, made up his mind to forillfy his posi
tion, besiege the rebels, and await the
repair and return of the boats. But the
enemy preferred a speedier decision, or an
escape, and hence resolved to pass their
lines and assault General Grant's right.
Gen. Oglesby, with five Illinois regiments,
discovered at early dawn that the enemy
had transported several batteries to a por
tion of their works near to his lines.
These batteries quickly opened upon him,
and at the same time some twelve thousand
infantry and a regiment,of cavalry charged.
Gen. Oglesby maintained his position, and
was soon aided by Gen. Wallace, with, five
other Illinois regiments and one Indiana.
Gen, McArthur's brigade also advanced to
the ;fight. The, battle raged, with varying.
advantages, for five hours, when our man'
were w obliged to retire. They had lost
Sdhwirtes and McAlister's batteries, gained~
than, and lost them a - second time, and
their ammunition was expended. The
superiority Of the enemy's batteries had
enabled him to maintain himself against
our charges; At this critical moment,
Craft's brigade, comprising two
,Ohio regi
ments and the First Nebraska, with Tay
lees and Winder's batteries, was brought
up. Theis, in a hard contest of three
quarters of an hour, pouring a storm-of
canister, shrapnel, and musket arid
rifle halls, effectually checked the enemy's
advance.
Gen. Grant then ordered a charge along
the whole line, putting forward the troops'
which had suffered least in the previous
part of the eoritest. Gen. Smith's corn-
Inand, on our left, bad not yet been mush.
in action. It embraoed Missouri, lowa,
Illinois, and Indiana' regbitents. He was
ordered t 4 storm the etieurfs right, and-he
did it with a will. His storming party
were one Indiana,and two rort regiments.
The others he directed a little to his right
to divide the attention of the 'enemy. He
then, at the head of the storming party,
advanced, under a deadly fire, but without
firing a shot by his own men, till he game
close upon the enemy's works, when. with
*tremendous volley and a bayonet calorie
he put the foe to flight and possess,ed that
part of the fortification. Stone's baitery
and the residue of the division then ad
vanced, and the lodgment was secured..
This assault by Gen. Smith was ordered at
B . otelook, and was not long in being exe'-
anted.
. While 'Gen. Smith was thus engaged on
our left, Gen. Lew Wallace was, arranging
to recover what had been previously lost on
the right. In• this he was so fully success
ful that, by the close of the day the enemy
was driven again within the shelter of his
earthworks.
Thus ended the fight. Pillow and Floyd
took a midnight departure, with all the
troops—some thousandkr-they could carry
on their steamers up the Cumberland; and
in the morning Gen. Buckner surrendered
the place and the residue of his army.
The number engaged in the battle was
not so, great on either aide as sometstate
mentb`• affirmed. Official reports are not
yet published. Gen Grant had about 30,-
09 men'. The; enemy had about
with the advantage of his fortifications.
The number of prisoners takeyri the fort
was 13,300. To these, 1000 were kidded
the next day, who came near the fort, not
knowing what had happened.
, -
The eneiny regarded Fort Donelson a
vital, point. Hence his extensive 'vrerks
and concentration of men. He had there
a,large amount of ammimition, provis,i9ne,
aid other stores, andconsidered himself
impregnable by any force we could bring.
He had even heralded his victory. Thus
we see the Piehmond inquirer of Monday
quoted
‘ 4 SPLENDID VICTORY 42 FORT DONEL I
SON.— The War Department received a
di ;patch on yesterday, from Gen. A. S
.Tchnston, giving an account of the bath ,
at Fort Donelson on Saturday last.' .Tho
enethy having completely invested our lides,
it - was resolved to attack them. Oar line
wore formed and the attack made at halt
past five o'clock on Saturday morning.
Gon. Pillow. , oommanded our left wing, Gen.
Bunknetsiut right, 'and Gen. Flqd, Nyi#
Gen. Johnston (not A. S.) in the centre,•
Gen. Floyd, as senior Brigadier, being in
command of the whole:. The battle lasted
for nine hours, and was fought with the
greatest gallantry by our troops. The en
emy were- first beaten by Gen. Pillow on
our left wing, who drove the enemy's right
to the rear of their left wing. The enemy
were finally driven from the field with the
loss of . 1,240 killed and wounded of whom
1,000 'were killed. We also took 300 pris
oners and six pieces of artillery. Our loss
in killed and wounded is about 500.
• " This splendid feat ,of arms and glorious
victory to our cause will send a thrill of joy
over the whole Confederacy. It comes at
the, right place and at the right time I AU
honor to the brave officers and soldiers who
hive Shed such histre upon our arms, and
addad, such prestige to our flag We shall
delight to publish the full details when
,they shall • reach, us. What farther we are
to expect on the same ground.we know not.
Perhaps before this issue goes to press
the telegraph will tell. The Cumberland
river affords the enemy great facility for
bringing up reinforcements from their
point d' oppui at Paducah, at the mouth of
the Tennessee. Our own commanders are
not beyond the means of similar support.
We trust therefore , that the stand so bril
liantly commenced we shall be able to make
permanent, , and to roll back the tide of in
vasion."
They had a right to rejoice at such a re
port to their Government from their Com
mander-in-thief • but, sad for them, it was
like many of their reports, untrue. What
a thrill of horror must have supplanted
their joy, a few hours later, when they
would learn that .they were completely
b aten—the fort, with all its property, and
18,800 men surretidered I
We have not yet seen any reliable state
ment of the killed and wounded on either
side. A. report said to be semi-official puts
our loss at 800 killed, 700 wounded, and.
241 missing—total, 1,250.
The fighting qualities on both sides were
here pretty well tried. The contest was
continued for many long hours. Masses
were engaged. There were alternations of
victory. Batteries were taken and retaken:
There were bayonet charges. The exten
sion of the enemy's lines, and his advances
on 'Saturday, and also the nature of the
ground, it being hilly and wooded, afforded
much scope for generalship. In numbers
we , had the superiority of about three to
two, and some superiority also in arms.
He had the advantage of fortifications, and
in the freshness of his men, they resting
at night in their shelters, with all their
camp comforts around them, while our men,
for successive nights, had lain out in the
rain, snow, and frosts, uncovered. Their
defeat was due, in part, to their concentra
ted effort upon our right. This weakened
their own right, by which Gen. Smith was
enabled to take that part of their fortifica
tions,
; and they having pursued our Men
without their works, were obliged to fight,
on that wing, on an equality, where they
were finally repulsed. Saturday thus end
ing, with our right in its original position,
and our •left within their works, made de
feat on the next day certain, and to save a
useless slaughter they surrendered.
We rejoice in the victory, but still, how
mournful is the necessity ! What sorrow

Saturday, Feb. 22d, the anniversary of
the birth of Washington,' and the day set
apart for 'rejoicing on. account of our re
cent victories, was observed,
l in Pittsburgh,
with many patriotic demonstrations. The
weather was pleasant, the .people cheerful,
and everything passed off delightfully.
The part taken by. the Public :Schools
was one of the pleasant and important fea
tures of the day. In Pittsburgh three
points were fixed, where the pupils, sled by
their teachers, assembled. At each , of
these Washington's Farewell Address was
read and an oration delivered, and Hail
Colutribia and other patriotic songs sung ,
the children joining in the glee. The Al
legheny-and Manchester schools united and
had similar enemies.' At this union Rev.
Dr. Pressley opened the pioceedings with
prayer, and closed them with the benedic
tion. „Impressions were 'made -which
a will,
(htless be enduribg as life. It will be
strange if, Any boy or girl, of the thousands
naked, should ever be anything but a tide
and arderit patriot.
The spaCious Concert Hall was densely
filled by the Mass meeting, at three o'clock..
En-Governor Johnston presided; Hon. TZ - .
M, Howe read the Farewell Address; Prof.
M. F. Easton read a poeui, Rev. Mr. Page
closed with prayer. •
In the evening there was a splendid .
illu
mination, .a torch-light proccssion, fire
works, &c., &e. The shipping looked brit
haat, as did also the Custom House, and
many public Halls and private residences.

Efficiency of the Blockade..
The idea expressed by Earl Russel, and
other foreigners, British and French, that
our bloCkade of the Southern porta is not
effective, is rather ludicrous. If not effec
tive, why is cotton - kept back, so that
seemly a baler gets to :'market. If there
was no btockade,cottnn4onld be almost as
cheap in England as in .New-Orleans—only
a halfpenny to a ' penny , difference—but
now it Is thiee times the price. All foreign
productions also would be very nearly the
same price in Southern'ports as in North
ern ;• but now they Ire two times; five
times, and in some cases, ten v times as
dear.
Truly the blockade, tboug t h a small craft

Her Majesty's relations with all the European
Powers continue to be friendly 'and satisfactory,
and'Her Majesty trusts there is no reason' to Etp-'
prebend any disturbance of the peace of Europe.'
A question of great importance; and which
might have led to 'very serious; consequences,
arose between Her Majesty and the Government
of the United States of North America, owing to the ,
seizure and forcible removal of four passengers
from on board.a British Mail pack& by the,Com
mender of a ship-of-war of the United States.,
That question •boa been satisfactorily settled by
the restoration of the passengers to British pro
tection, and by the disavowal by" the United
States' Government of the act -of violence com
mitted by their naval Wheel.. ;The friendly rele

Her Majesty willingly appreciates the loyalty and
patriotism which have been manifested on this
occasion by Her Majesty'is . North American sub
jects.
The wrongs committed by, various parties and
by successive governments in Mexico upon for!
eigiaers resident within the Mexican Territory,
and for which 130 satisfactory redress could be
obtained, have led to the conclusion of a. Conven
tion between Her Majesty, the Emperor of the
French and the Queen of Spain, for the purpose
of regulating combined operations on the coast
of Mexico, with a 'view to obtain that redress
which has hitherto been withheld. That Con
vention and papers relating to
% that subject will
be laid before you: • '
The improvement which has taken place in the
-relations between Her Majesty's Government
and that of the Emperor of China, ,and the good"
faith with. which the Chinese Government have
continued to fulfill the arrangements of the treaty
of Tieri-Tsin, have enabled Her Majesty to with
draw her troopafrom the port of Canton; and to,
reduce the amount 'of her forces on the coast and
in .the seas of China.
Her Majesty, allays anxious to exert her in-'
luence for tbe- preservation of peace, has con-'
eluded a Convention with the Sultanrof Morocco,
by means of which the Sultan has been enabled
to raise the amount necessary for the fulfillment
of certain treaty arrangements which he had,
contracted toward Spain, and thus to avoid, the'
result Of a renewal of hostilities with that pOwer,•
that Convention, and the papers connected with
it, will be laid before you.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons : Her
'Majesiy commands us to 'inform you that she has
directed the estimates for the ensuing year to be
laid before you. They have been framed with a
line regard to prudent economy and to the effi
ciency of the public service.
My Lords and Gentlemen : Her Majesty com
mands us to inform you that measures for the
improvement of the law will be laid-before you,
and among them Will be a bill for rendering the
titles of len& more simple 'and 'its transfer more
easy. Other measures of-Publio usefulness re
•lating to Great Britain andlreland , will be sub
mitted for your consideration.' •
Her Majesty regrets that in some parts of the
United Kingdom, and, in certain branches of in
dustry, temporary causes have produced consid
erable pressure and, privation; but we have rea
son to believe the general condition• of the coun
try is sound and satisfactory. Her Majesty con
fidently- commends the general interests of the
nation to your wisdom and:your,care. She fer
vently prays that the blessing of Almighty God
may atteni your deliberation% and may gitide
them to the promotion of the Welfare and hap

DEBATE wenn cgmines SPEECH
The Queen's 'speech to Parliament, is always
drawn bp by 'the Ministers. It is made brief,
and gives.but an indefinite statement of affairs,
and the' addreas is, usually, but an echo' of the
speech. It however affords an opportunity to
utter the feelings,of leading members.
In discussing the fi.ddrsits, on the late occasion,
several speeches were made on American af
fairs : /
Lord Dufferin pointed out the ties of interest
and parentage which bind us to the 'United States,
and expressed his approval of the, attitude the
Government had assumed from the commence
ment of, the civil war,-which was ruining and
deselating that country. He regarded the dis
putes whioh had arisen between the Northern
and Sonthern States as the result of an incom
patibility of temper; but; at the-same time, he
believed , that Her Majesty's Government, in the
wise precautions , they had taken to preserve the
commercial interests of the ; nation and to main
tain unimpaired the preatige of, our naval prowess,
had received the full sympathies of 'every British
subject.
Earl Shelbourne.warmly approved the-modera
tion of the course taken by Her Majesty's Gov
ernment, and the' Confidence that iourse had suc
ceeded, in establishing in, the country , generally.
,Lord Derby, (tery and opposition,) though he
approved 'of the course the Government had
Itaken in.reference to the American difficulty, he'
thoUght they Might to be cautious. They en
, tared upon negotiations which had for their ob
ject aealteration
.in the principles upon which
international law was now regulated. They must
,not 'forget they had a -deep and , preponderating
'interest in maintaining the rights of belligerents,
and this country Was not one which could lightly
sacrifice the -legitimate rights which they- now
.possesseci in that respect.",,
Earl Russell 'stated that ; ' there could be no
doubt; from the rapid , successes which had at
:tended the efforts of the Confederates to break
the blockade; that it - was of a Most ineffectual
'character. ' At• the same time, the Government
bad.,no desire, to press, hardly on • the Northern
!States, but he hoped that' they would be able
themselves to settle their difficulties with the
outh. Whether this struggle ended in the total
!disruption or-'in more friendly cementing the
llnion, Her Majesty's Government would feel that
they had done their duty to both sides by preserv
ing a strict, neutrality.
The Boulogne iliessencer says : '
"Mr. Commissioner 'Slidell—that very expen
sive-gentleman for England—arrived here by the
Prince Maude, on Thursday last. The wretched
weather prevented many of the habitual attend
ants from being on the• quay when the boat' ar
rived, and, those few who were there did not
know that at least2l,ooo,ooo was passing them
in wet , clothes And cold aspect. Mr. Slidell ,
went direct to the station, and proceeded by the
first train to Paris "
Mr. - Yancey went Out as a passenger in the
West India Mail steamer Sei,ne, which sailed from
Southampton, on the Bd , lei. St.. Thomas.
In its issue of the sth, the London Times is
emphatic in favor -of non-intervention in the
, American question ; or with the blockade. It
says in retard to the latter, :
"If we ask the Federal States to lei cotton
come out of the Southern ports, it must be on
the ground that blockades ace no. longer tolera
ble, and ought to be abolished, like privateering.
The partisans-of this change in the law of war
assert that-the restriction on the trade ought to
relate only to goods contrabald of :war, and that
at all times the ports of a belligerent State ,ought
to be left open to neutrals, who should be free to.
trade just as in time of peace. , To such a doc
trine are must give a firm opposition. The idea
orabolishing 'blockade seethe to'us one that can
only, keep its place in a mind incapable of logi
cal reasoning., ,That two nations should strug
gle `to overcome each, other, and that yet each
should bind itself to interfere Milo wiy with the
trideWhich makes its enemy capable of resistance,
seems to us an absurdity 'too great for serious
discussion. The right of :putting a stop to all
the commerce of the 'enemy, whether ,by land or
sea, is , necessary to the carrying on of, war, and
Can never be relinqUished. Mr. 'Cobden and
those'vrho think With him; seem to imagine that
there is a great difference between -the practice
in the two: cases: , but it is certainly not so. All'
trade iaprohibited to
. an enemy; whether by land
or sea,And it, would be as reasonable for our
merehants to 'expect the Pederals to allow their
enemies to use the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad for the purpose of internal traffic as to
use, the ports which it connects for, the purpose
of shipping cotton. We, as , a,' great naval
Power, should bethe last to demand what would
be not only contrary to reason and justice, but
to our own dearestinterests." ' • '
- LATER. -
The Niagara, with foreign dates to the 9th: has
arrived.
Lord Russel reports .the •substance of a conver
sation he had with Yancey, Yost and Mann, the
delegates who waited on hinito urge' the ring
nition' of the Confederate& His answer to these
gentlemenwas, that England would observe strict
neutrality.. : Earl
,Russel, said : Her Majesty can
notacknowledge the independence of nine States
until the fortune' of arms, or a more peaceful
mode ,of negotiation Shell haie more clearly de
termined the respective position of the two ,bel
ligerent&,
Mr. ,Gregory, the Parliamentary. advocate of
the Confederates, stated that the blockade of the
Southern ports was but a paper blockader, and
hence net to be respected.

GENEVA, IJALE AND FEMALE IN
STITTITIO.
"Geneve College," and "Geneva Female Seminary," lo
cated in Northwood, Logan County, Ohio, and for many years
In successful operation, have been combined into one Insti
tution, under the control of an entirely new. Board, and will
be opened early in April, under the above name.
The , Seminary building is commodious and handsome, and
is capable of affording accommodations facility boarders—is
ale° provided With piano, stoves, beds, chairs, tables. .ke., &c.
The College building, some three hundred yards distant, is
much superior to the generality of College buildings in the
West.* "It is proviged with a large apparatus, email library,
and a Societe room, elegantly and eXpensively furnished.
The Board are desirous of securing the services of a Presi
dent and „Professor, to :take ebarge oc : the school at the ap.,
pro - aching Stirnmer term.
It is desirable that the Principal or. Professor should live in
the Seminary, and have control of the female boarders. The
schiiiolie, owing to financial diMailtiesin connexion with the
endowment of the College, have not been in operation far
more than a year ; but it is confidently believed that, opening
