Battle at. Fort Donelson. .J.; --SPECIAL TO MI3SOURI DEMOCRAT. ' Cairo, Sunday p. m. Commodore Foote re-vhed here at 12 o'clock last night, on the gnnboat Conestoga. llo stormed Fort Donelson on Friday evening, at 2 o'clock, with the gunboat j St. Louis, Louisvill1, Pittsburg, Caronde!ct, Tyler, and Oonestoga. After lighting a little over an hour, he withdrew. Fifty-four were killed and wounded on tbe gunbosts. Commodore. Foote, while standing in the pilot bouse of the St. Louis his flag ship was slightly wounded by a passing ball. The Tyler and Conestoga remained out of ranafe of the enemy's guns and their shell. The line of battle was as follows: The St. Louis on tbe right, next the Louiaville, tbe-i the Pittsburg and the Carondelet on the left. : This eueciy's firing wa3 very accurate. Tbey had three batteries one near tbe water, one fifty feet above this, and a third fifty feet alove the second." The upper one rooonted four 123 ponnders. This one was held jn reserve-until our boats got within a few hnndred yards of the Fort. Our fire was directed principally at the water battery. One of the enemy's guns buret, and a number were dismounted. The enemy could be seen carrying the dead out of their trenches. I.. A rebel officer was seen on the ramparts waiving his sword. It was not known whether he was eocouraging his men, or driving some back who had abandoned the water battery. ......... v General Grant came on board of tbe St. Loois yesterday morning, before the Commodore started for Cairo. All the gunboats were left up tbe Cumberland,except the Conestoga...

The right wing of the enemy's fortifications had been taken, and the Stars and Stripes were floating over them. Tbe forces -were breast to breast, and the fight was to be renewed. Two of our Colonels are reported killed, and two wounded. The Lieut. Colouel of the Forty-eighth Illinois was killed. The Eighteenth Illinois had suffered much. F.

LATEST. Cairo, Feb. 16 2 p. lit. Capt. Wise, of he Minnehaha, who left Fort Donelson last evening, at 3 o'clock, says there was severe ugnting there yesterday. The enemy made a sortie from the Fort, yesterday, at 10 o'clock, drove our forces back three quarters of a mile and captured Schwartz's battery. . At one o'clock our forces rallied and recaptured it, driving the enemy before them and planting our flag on their outer fortifications. - When the Captain left the fighting was going on. Ihe Courier, which arrived at tha wharf this evening from Evansville, brings the intelligence that four of our colonels were killed, yesterday afternoon. Colonel John Logan, of Illinois, was one of them. Tbe names of the others have not been learned. A niSPATCU FROM TUB BATTLB GBOrND., By tolegrap j from Cairo to the Mo. Deinorrt.J In the Field, Rear of Fort Donelson, -Friday afternoon, Feb. 14, 1862 Everything along the lines to-day has been very quiet, nothing cf importance having transpired outside of the attack of the gunboats. Thursday- night was a most severe one for our soldiers. A heavy' raid set in about dark, which at about 10 o'clock changed to snow, continuing " all night, covering the ground to the depth of a couple of inche3. The situation of our troops. without hats, and ic many cases without having recovered their blankets and over coats, thrown away ia the excitement of the moment, expecting to meet aa enemy. can well be imagined. It has been free-ting all day. Old citizens say that tbey rarely have such cold weather in this latitude. The more I see of the fort, the more fully conviuced am I that it can only be reduced afier a most terrible battle. Its rear seems almost impregnable. Tbe outer works and bastions of the fort are located on high ridges, varying from 150 to 250 feet in height. These ridges are , covered with dense timber and undergrowth. Upon a Similar range of hills outside of these, our army is drawn up in line of battle, completely encircling the - enemy-from -the Cumberland, south of the fort, to the back water of a stream which flanks tbe fort on the Jiorth. , ... Gen. Oglesby, who has the extreme right, last night pushed forward his brigade op to the Co-mberland, and has planted a battery commanding tbe river, which will effectually prevent the arrival of any more re-enforcements, in fact we have them complete ly surrounded, and can complete tbe job at our leisure. It is probable that one or two days may be consumed in preparations. : A formidable attempt was made last night to take Taylor's battery by the enemy, who approached under cover of the darkness. They were gallantly repulsed, how ever, by the Twentieth Illinois. Considerable skirmishing took place during the entire night, both torces endeavoring, in the darkness, to crawl in upon the other. This -morning it was discovered that the enemy bad placed logs on the tops of their breHitvujika, leaving a little spaca for them t iw'i ttiruugu, and much diminishing their risk from tbe unerring shots of oar sharpshooters. . The force comine by way of the river have mostly come up. They have been mostly located on tbe left, tbe forces previously thc-e having been concentrated on the right. Gen. I jew. Wallace, ivith the eighth Mis souri and Lleveutu Indiana arrived this afternoon. The casualties among the artillery, on our side, are thus far very small. Taylor's Battery has bad one man killed and two or three wounded. Company B, of the Missouri battalion, has bad ont man, John Bumphort, severely wounded, his left arm being torn off by a shell. One of McAl lister s guns had one of its wheels taken off. Tbe loss of the enemy, so far as can be as certained, is considerable. Yesterday af ternoon, after the storming party bad retired, and when the rebels had been thickly crowded together to repel the assault, Capt. Taylor opened upon tbem with shell with terrible etlect. II is practice was superb, creating the greatest consternation in their ranks, and causing them to take retuge ia their entreuchments in double quick time. Tbe time for the grand assaelt upon tbe nemy's works is not, I think, decided upon. It might have taken place this afternoon, perhaps, if our lorce3 bad been in position I nday night. I came around bore this evening to ascer tain particulars of the gnnboat assault. It was a terrific affair, exceeding even the Fort Henry bombardment. It lasted about aa hour ana a hair. The enemy ha?, fronting upon tbe river, two batteries, the lower one of nine and tbe upper of four guns, besides 10-inch coiiimbi-id, throwing .'lint ol VIA puunds in weight. Four of tlm iron clad boats, viz : the St. Loni. Louisville, Carondelet and Pittsburg, and tbe wooden boats Tyler and Conestoga, were engaged in the fight. . . ' .; The St. Louis was the flag-ship, and led the attack, going up on the right bank. Flag Officer Foot pronourjces the engagement which ensued the hottest he ever witnessed. Seven, of tb9 nine guns in the lower tier of the enemy's battery had been silenced, and everything was apparently progressing favorably, when, the rudder chains of the Carondelet -were cut nway.-i The Pittsburg was damaged in the wheel so as to be unable to stem the current, and the pilot house of tbe flag ship was knocked away, killing the pilot ami wounding slightly several others whe were stationed there, tbe flag officer amotg the number. Tbe fleet was then obliged to retire. The effect of the gunboat fire upon the enemy must have been most disastrous. Oue shell struck immediately under one of their guns, throwing gun, handspikes and bodies of gunners bigb iuto. the air. Great numbers of dead and - wounded eoold be distinctly seen carried up the bill . . FOOTrS DISPA TCII. Washington, Feb. 16.
