Menttil. of D'Epineul'aT Zouaves, of New York, his regiment not being in the engagement, was determined to fight, and volunteering, went out alone with a musket. ' lie fired a number of rounds, and being a conspicuous mark, received a volley which brought him low in death, pierced with some twenty balls. Most of the federal loss wns of privates. The Twenty-fmt Massachusetts, Ninth N. Y., aad Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Regiments suffered most severely. The fleet, all told, was composed as follows: . Fleet of Commodore Ooldsboro, 15; pro i; filer gunboats, also used as transports, S ; arce side-wheel steamers, as transports, 6; steamers used by the Henerals as headquarters, 4; sailing transports, tenders and tugs, all told, 37; total 70. The army gunboats were all supplied with, for each I'arrot gun. Parrot fuo and percussion shell, and 100 munds of lint chkins' fneo and percusmon shell and canister. All other iruns were provided with 200 rounds of lpfchkiss' projectiles, assorted; 100 rounds of sol d shot, 40 fuse shells, .10 percussion shells, and 30 round of canister. The total armament of the fleet was about as follows: Onns Commodore's squadron...., Propeller gunboats Sailing transports (y) . . . . 50 31 ... 10 Total 91 Thus, it will be sen that our entire metal was not equal to the Minnesota or any firstclass man of war. Our advantage, however, was in this, that, while one vessel could only attack from a single point, and in turn form a common target for the enemy's guns, we can strike at them from thirty-five different points, and distract the fire of their batteries.

The Enquirer says that "the exposure which ho has undergone has had rather a fnvorable thnn unfavorable effect on his disease. As to the loss of his on. he takes it with all the philosophy of a patriot who has immolated his son on ti e altar of his country." FORI DOHOli 0 JRS ! Sr. Locts, Feb. 18. The Republican's rort JJoneUon correspondent gives the following account of the fighting on Saturday: Yesterday rooming just at daylight a heavy sortie was made by the garrison from the left portion of their works. This attack was made upon the extreme right wing of the Union army, where it was wrecked. Fart ol Gen. McClernand 's division, under Colonel Oglesby, consisting of his brig-, ade, which wet stationed there, also Schwartjaod McAllister's batteries. The point was upon a ridge leading into the right redoubt, and was situated just above the main fort. During the night the enemy could be heard busily at work, but what at it was impossible to tell, as thickets and woods encompassed the Union troops on the enemy's side, rendering the view in any direction almost impossible. At daylight a large body of the enemy suddenly appeared on the extreme right wing of Col. Oglesby's command, and opened a terrible ore with cannon from their redoubts playing at the same time upon our forces from guns placed in position on the j night previous. j X he camp of the Twenty-ninth and Thirty tirst Illinois was most exposed, and the whole brigade was at once formed into line as foUows: Eighteenth Illinois held the extreme ris-ht, the r-iijht Illinois next.) the Thirtieth Illinois next, then the Twen-1 ty-ninth Illinois, supporting the right of of Capt. Schwarti'a battery, the Thirtyfirst Illinoia defending the artillery on the 1 f a l. a 1 ffal T . . - f ipn. rum iuo ur.iikj ut iu itrst a an umii i nine o'clock the battle raged unremittingly, end with fearful loss on both sides. Again and again our troops drove the enemy back, but they were otten re enforced while our troops uaj, owing to tne extend-: ed lines of the army, and also their position j on the extreme right, to fight ttnasisted. More gaiUulghtioiT never took place while our troons had. owmtr to the extend-' than that of the Union troops exposed to th9 terrible firing of triple their number. Tbey stood their ground until, in some reg- i iments, every omcer was killed or wounded. At last, and reluctantly, regiment by regiment they slowly f e 1 1 back, leaving Schwarti'a Battery and three of McAllister's guna in the rebel' bands. Retiring a few hand red yards; they gain made stand, and Gen.SmUh arrived with re-enforcements, end at once drove the enemy again into their works. In first of the battle was also General atlace a brigade, the Eleventh. Twelfth. -Seventeenth and Forty eight; Uo. Col. MoArtWe brigade, all of which troops tfered aeverely. , . , .

No officer in the army had an idea of Fort Donelson'e defenses until, tbey had been gained and examined.
