STRATEGIC POINTS ON THE CUMBER LAND AND TENNESSEE RIVERS, tte TESSESSEE River. ‘The Tennesee river has its course chiefly in the State of Tennessee, and is the largest tributary of the Ohio. Its most remote sources are Clinch and Holston rivers, which rise in the Alleghany Mountains of Virginia. It has half a dozen other branches, which, uniting, form the Tennessee proper ata point forty-five miles southwest of Knoville. From Knoxville it pursues a southwest direetion across the State, and enters Alabama, when it pursues 4 westerly course for 150 or 200 miles, and then turns north and enters Tennessee again, crose- ing the State und the western portion of Ken- tucky, and entering the Ohio eleven and a haif iniles below the mouth of the Cumberland, and forty-seven and a half above the mouth of the Ubio. The whole descent of the river from its most rethote sources to its mouth is about 1,700 feet- Its whole length by the course of the river is 1,200 miles. It drains a surface of 41,000 square mile’. There are no perpendic- ular falls, and few rapids which obstruct nav- igation througtt is whole course. The greatest obstruction is at Muscle Shoals, Ala., 257 miles from the mouth, to which point steamboats ascend. A canal thirty-six miles in length has been built around these shoals, and above the navigation for boats is unobstructed for 250 miles. The river being rapid, is chiefly favor- able for navigation down stream. FLORENCE, ALABAMA. This town, which the Federal gunboats vis- ited in their dashing exploit up the Tennessee, after the capture of Fort Henry. is at the head of navigation, three hundred miles from Pa- ducah, and contains sbout two thousand inhab- itants It is at the foot of Muscle Shoals, nearly opposite Tuscumbia, and two hundred and fifty miles northwest of Montgomery, the whilom capital of the Confederacy. It is about thtee hundregl miles from the mouth of the river. The river here is about haif a mile wide, and is crossed by a fine bridge. The Toute ot the Memphis and Charleston Beitroad is in a short distance of the place. It has several public buildings, including three large brick churches. The most important fact in connection with the town is, however, that it isthe principal shipping point for the preduce of- the country and the; adjacent parts of Tennessee. The amount ef cotton raised in the vicinity is very large. Lauderdale county, of which Florence is the capital, produces from ten to twelve thousand bales of ginned cotton, of four hun- dred pounds. Franklin county, on the other side ef the river, produces over 15,000 bales. ton 0 produced to some extent in Ten- nessee. he line of the river. There aro two large cotton factories on Cypress creek, three miles from the place, having a capital of $15,000 each. Shoal creek, nine miles distant, also gives motion to s gotton factory which cost $60,000. The hospitable and cordial greeting given to the men on our gunboats in this vi- cinity, although due to some extent, no doubt, to r, may yet be considered as not wholly affected. It was known that northern Alabama, to- gether with eastern Tennessee and western Virginia, were the last to assent to the heresy of secession, and were only driven into it by the mob spirit everywhere prevailing. They illustrate the lines— “He that consents against his will Is of the same opinion still.” It would appear trom the facts quoted above, that one of the most eligible places to open a “cotton port’’ would be at Florence, as the principal shipping point of a large cotton- growing region EXPECTED ATTACK ON FORT DONELSON. We expect momentarily news of the attack on Fort Donelson, on the Cumberland river, sixty miles from its mouth, and fifteen miles southeast of Fort Henry. It was intended that the attacks on the two forts should be nearly simultane The last news that we received was that Gen. (rant bad surrounded it with several batteries of artillery, and that the attack would be commenced shortly. It was constructed sometime last eummer, te- gether with Fort Henry, to prevent the ad- vance of our forces up the Cumberland, as Fort Henry was built to prevent our advance up the Tennessee. It is the counterpart of Fort Henry, and these two forts in our posses- sion, we have the key to the positions of the rebel armies at Bowling Green and Columbus, and can easily prevent them from effecting a junction, and can cut off their communication with the South, unless they abdicate their po- sitions speedily and retire further into the re- cesses of rebeldom. Fort Donelson is situated on the west bank of the Cumberland river, where that stream washes an acute angle at Dover. It is a forti- fication of earth. It is at the intersection of some seven or eight t and but four miles north of the Memphis and Clarkesville Railroad. The position is important as con- troling the river as far up as Clarkesville. Clarkesville is thirty miles distant, and iz the site of extensive and formidable rebel works, which have been under construction for four months pat to protect the bridge crossing the Cumberland on the railroad route to Nash- ville. The capture of Fort Donelson is consid- ered only as a matter of time since the taking of Fort Henry. THE CUMBERLAND RIVER. The capture of Fort Donelson will give us a very strong hold on the Cumberland and be- come a base for operations further on, extend- ing in time, probably, to Nashville, the capital of Tennessee. The Cumberland river rises in the Cumber- Jand mountains, near the boundary between Virginia and Kentucky, and pursuin, west- erly or southwesterly course enters the State of Tennessee. After an extensive sweep to the south it turns northwestwardly and northerly. and enters and crosses Kentucky, enteri eo Obio 11} miles east of the mouth of the Ten- nessee river, and 59 miles shove the mouth of the Ohio e The entire le: of the river is about 600 miles, and it drainsa territory of 17,500 square miles. Itis navi; le for | peda sat and vessels to Nashville, 203 miles from the mouth, and for boats of fifteen tons 300 miles further. At certain seasons of high water, ves- sels of 400 tons can descend the river 400 miles to the Ohio, and for half its length boats may igate all seasons. It is the second river in size which enters the Ohio, being in- ferlor only to the Tennessee. Below Nashville, the river is deep and narrow. There are on the borders of the Cumberland nineteen fur- naces, nine forges, and two rolling mills, pro- ducing anaualiy 44,500 tons of iron, valued at $1,6734 00. THE CITY OF NASHVILLE. In a short time, if our armies pi inthe West as energetically as they have done of late, Nashville will become a place of interest as connected with our movements up the Cum- berland, It is connected with Bowling Green by railroad. Nashville is situated on the left or the west bank of the Cumberland river, some two hundred miles by the course of the stream from its mouth ; two hundred and eigh- ty miles northeast of Memphis; two bundred and six miles southwest of Lexi: , in Ken- tucky ; and six hundred and ei; prog oghe sars: from Wazhington city. © private residences are poe on a scale of palatial magni.ade and splendor, and the public buil- dings exhibit a co: character. The suburbs abound with pic! jue seenery, en riched with beautiful groves and cedar. The city was originaliy laid out in lots of one acre each, with a reservation of four acres for pub lie buildings. The new capitol, which stands on & commanding eminence, 175 feet above the river, is one of the most noble, meguteent, and costly stractures in America. mate- » quarried on the spot, and rial us fine nearly resembles marble.

The road is built in a very substantial manner, and com- pletes the connection with Charleston and Sa- vannah. The commerce of Nashville is very extensive, amounting annually to over 5,000 tonnage, composed of steamboats navigating the Cumberland river, enaged in the convey- ance of passengers, and the traffic of goods and pfoduce. Extensive manufacturing establish- ments are in successful eperation at this place, among which may be mentioned the powder mill, the rolling mill, the Tennessee Iron Works, just below thecity, on the Cumberland river, which are as extensive and equal in ca- acity to any in the United States, foun- Aries and machine shops. The population of Nashville, at the present time, is about 26,000. THE VICTORY AT ROANOKE ISLAND. ee FULL REBEL ACCOUNT. ——_>—_—__ TERRIBLE FIGHTING. a anges ee The Norfolk correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, dated Feb. 10, gives the following de- tails of the recent victory of the gallant Burnside and Goldsborough at Roanoke Island: With inexpressible sorrow I announce the fall of Roanoke Isiand, after a spirited and heroic re- sistance by our brave troops. This occurred be- tween 12 and 2 o’clock on Saturday, and the news received here with every indication of re- gret and indignation. We gather the following particulars from a young man from the Rich- mond Blues, who participated in the fizbt, es- ce in a small boat and rowed to Nag’s Head, whére he was taken uP by one of our gunboats and brought to thiscity. He is an intelligent lad, and 1 believe a son of your master. The enemy’s ships, he says, opened fire on our batte- ries at Roanoke Island, about 7 o’clock in the morning, and kept up an incessant fire until 7 oclock in the evening, doing, however. but little injury tothe Island About 9 o'clock the next day (Saturday) the Hessians were allowed to land on a point to the east of Roanoke Island, where they marched upon that point The booming of heavy cannon fn the distence heralded the enemy's epproach. Our brave troops prepared to meet them. supposing their nuurbers to be about Sve thousand. Gradually the sounds came nearer and nearer, and the shell came thick and fest over cur intreuchments. Confident of their own strength, our troops moved rapidly forward, when, in a few minntes, the bail opened and the terr.fic contest ensued. Bravely did our boys stand up to the overwhelming forces of the enemy, rnd not till every man was dead or wounded did they leave thelr stand. Nothing remained but retreat, which our men did, con- stan:ly turning and giving them ashot. Finding it useless to hold the island under such over- whelming numbers, the order to retreat from the inland was given, and our remaining troops re- tired, leaving their strongholds in the hands of the enemy. It will be a pleasure hereafter to record on the pees of history the heroic fortitude of our gallant roops. Nobly and well did Capt. O. Jennings Wise, of your city, stand up with bis men to the fierce encounter, when, suddenly, he was shot through the side and instantly One of bis men asking bim if he was much hurt—‘ Not much,” said he, ‘ but fight them yet.”” He was borne from the scene of action in a blanket. About 300 of our brave boys fell, and nearly ali the rest were either wounded or taken prisoners. The enemy’s loss is laid down at 1,000. Four of their Bhips were sunk, they doing but little damage to any of our hosts. Commodore Lynch and other parts of our fleet did noble service, hisship being among the first to open fire on the enemy’s ship- ping. At last accounts they were in pursuit of Commodore Lynch. In the midst of this terrible struggle it will be regretted that Gen. W ise was seriously indisposed at Nag’s Head. Both heand his son are expected here to-day. Iam sorry to say that but very few escaped from Captain Wise’s company. yf Soe quantities of ammunition were saved by our troops. The women, children and a num! of negroes are reported now on their way to ourcity. The enemy will be successfully checked from getting possession of our railroad in that vicinity. Active preparations have been made here regard- ing this disaster, which it — be imprudent for me to mention. The news fell upon the ears of our citizens with fearfal significance. Man would dare shut their eyes aguiffst the fact bed not dread conviction come so dire**. Every man was at his post, and our departments here were engaged in sending dispatches to the various en- campments. The alacrity with which every offi- cer executed bis orders is a theme of public praise; and especial praise is due to the Young Guard, of our city, for their services on the occasion. Ata very late hour military movements were going on, and everything is in great excitement. Norroux, Feb. 10 —The intelligence of the perate and unequalled contest at Roanoke nd, and its result, bave doubtless reached you by telegraph. Of course this is the principal sub- ject of conversation here. Considering all the circumstances attending the fight, a more favor- able termination of the effair could scarcely have been expected by those competent to judge. Our force on the island at the time of the attack was bot small in com son with the heavy and nu- merous force of enemy. Of the bravery and gallant conduct of our troops too much can scarcely be said im commendation. That they were overpowered by — superior numbers, after fighting with a recklessness and desperation never ets is a fact already established, and pet il be placed upon the truthful pages of ry. 1 send you berewith such iculars of,the bat- tle as I have been able to ot ig A iran anions’ cannot be given now. e know enough to cause a deep sigh of grief for the brave men slain and the gallant sons of the South who are now cap- tives in this cruel war, of homes rendered deso- late, of hearts wrung with anguish, and ties of love and friendship severed ut who believes, except the delu and revengeful Yankees, that the sp ed ah | vield to them ?—that the great cause of southern ilberty, and honor, and human- ity is not still onward?” i ‘True, the news comes that the hospitable town of Elizabeth City has been shelled and burned, and that the vandal hordes are desolating the pleasant places of the sound coast.

Pa 2 the Kichmond Dispate! ¢ Disaster at Roanoke [: é Occurrence at Roanoke Island, resulting ice verse to our arms, was the theme of conversation —— thecity, to the caclosion of almost every o! topic. The fact that some of out Richmond companies were engaged in the fight oecasioned an intense and paipfal anxiety, par- ticularly among those who bad friends tives among them, ich could not be well con- cealed. It is but a short period since the Wise Legion, after an arduous and tollsome campaign in Western Virginia, left here for the coast of North Carolina, and though now defeated in one of the most rg eres conflicts of the war, it is at least c ing to know that the men fought with determiffed bravery, against Rnbedh tc and won for themselves the proud —— Lox | heroes, of which their ayers situation cannot deprive them.

The telegraph informs us that our killed and wounded amounts to 300, while that of the enemy reaches 1,000. The reader will find some further particulars of the affair in our Norfolk papers, from which it appears that the infamous scoun- drels bave shelled aad burned the pleasant little town of Elizabeth City, are threatening Edenton. Their operations in that quarter, however, will be limited; and instead of depressing the spirits of our people, such acts of vandalism will serve to make them more determined, and rouse them to turice vigorous resistance. Personally we regret the loss of our accom- ished correspondent ‘‘ Bohemian,”’ whose letters rom the Potomac and other points have for some time adorned the columns of sree oe Dr. Shepherdson is well known throughout the South, and in his captivity (which we trust will be brief) he has the sympathy of a vast number of friends. THE CAMPAIGN IN CAROLINA. The Dispatch says that Burnside’s “object is supposed by some to be Norfolk; but if we are to believe the recent outgivings of Northern journals, his leading purpose is to make a demon- stration against the Weldon and Wilmington Railroad, with a view to cutting our great line of Southern communication. That thing seems, for the present, to be the special aim of the enemy in every quarter. His movements in Western Ken- tucky and Tennessee seem to have that singie ob- ject for the present in view; and it bas been re- sega declared by Northern journals that urnside’s primary purpose is a demonstration upon our road. An assault upon Norfolk is the only object next after this railroad enterprise, commensurate fin importance with the magnitude of the expedition. In such an undertaking the enemy’s vessels could be of little direct use. The water approaches to that city from North Caro- lina are too narrow, tortuous and easily obstructed to admit the use of vessels; and if the enemy at- temptsa land attack the chances in our favor of repelling him are two or three to one. The re- ductton of Norfolk would be the work of months. and could only be effected by a large increase of Burnside’s forces.”’ V—_———S OFFICIAL. peessens DEPARTMENT, Frarvary 4, 1962.

Willard, of the Chi- cago Light Artillery, left Fort Henry day before yesterday, (Wednesday,) at 10 o'clock, and reached this city to-day. From him we learn that the artillery left Fort Henry for Fort Donel- son between three and four o’clock on the morn- ing of the 12th with six regiments of infantry. Gen. Grant and staff and his body guard left at 100’clock same morning, and the rear guard lert at2 o'clock p.m. The whole force was 40,000 men with 27 pieces light artillery. At4 o’clock a. m. of the same ay 11 regiments left Paducah, under convoy of gunboats, to go up the Cumberland river, making the whole force sent against Fort Donelson over 60,000 men. The gunboats expected to reach Fort Donelson at 7 o’clock yesterday (Thursday) morning. It was designed to make the attack with the whole force yesterday afternoon. THE LATEST. Cuicaco, Feb. 14.—The following special dis- pricks to the Chicago Tribune has been received, te Camp in the Field, near Fort Donelson, Tenn., Feb 4&3, ha, m —Fort Donelson is invested by our troops. ur lines are formed from right to left and from north to south, nearly surrounding the fort. Heavy cannonsding and skirmishing has been going on since 7% o’clock this morning. Owing to the extent of our lines of action but little can be learned of the result. I hear, how- ever, thata captain in company I, 7th regiment, has been killed. Gen. McClernand’s division is operating on the right wing and Gen. Smith on the left. We bave had but one gunboat to play upen the fort until just within the lust half hour, when three other gunboats are firing on the fort. The force estimated within the breastworks from the best information is about 15,000 No reinforcements can now arrive for the enemy, as all communication 1s cut off. It is now thought that their left redoubt has fallen into our hands. All the officers are acting with great valor, and exhibiting a fearlessness highly creditable to our western army Gen. Grant and staff have been riding along the lines all the morning, regardless of the grape shot that is being fired in every direction. § P.M , 13th —The cannonading and skirm- ishing has continued briskly ali day, but has lately discontinued A considerable number of soldiers have beer wounded on both sides. The 25th Indiana, which tushed boldly up to the entrenciments, hax had during the day forty wounded, but all slightly The 7th lilinois and the 7th lowa regiments, who have been close to the enemy’s lir some men. Among the killed is Capt. Windell, of company 1, 7th Iiltnois, and Colonel Morrison, of the 49th Llinois, is wounded. Binges’ sharpshooters have done good service. They kept several of the enemy’s guns idle by Picking off the cannonfers as fast as they appeared at the guns. Capt. Berak, with a company of cavalry, went around tothe left bank of the river this after- noon, and reports that the gunboat Carondelet received a 10-inch ball through her casemate, which wounded eight men, but did not injure the boat materially, Captain Walker, of the Carondelet, says he bas dismantled three of the enemy’s river guns. ‘The other gunboats had not arrived at 6 p.m The enemy’s rifle shots and their grape have been fiying thick and fast about here afi day. Some six shots struck around Gen. Grant and staff this afternoon, while they were riding along the lines. One bullet hit one of the horses of the body guard near by. The fort will certainly be stormed in two days, if it does not surrender before Our men have driven back the enemy in every instance to-day. Gens.
