From a gentleman who came direct from Roa- noke Island by the Stars and Stripes, we gather the following interesting incidents of the battle tere: Colonel Russell, of the 10th Connecticut, fell dead from bis horse, at the head of his regiment, while marching against the enemy. as it may appear, not a scratch was found-apon his body, when examined, and bis death must have come from the wind of a cannon ball or from excitement. Lieut. Colonel de Montiel, who volunteered in the assault upon the rebel battery, received his death-wound while heading the advance, and while in the act of shouting, ‘‘Come on, boys, ‘we'll show them how to fight.” In the course of the action a shell burst on the U.S. gunboat Hetzel, and set ber magazine on fire. Lieutenant Franklin, her executive officer, ordered the men to the magazine to extinguish the fire; they hesitating, he took the hose in his own hands, sprang dewn and extinguished the flames before they reached the powder. A similar occurrence took place on the Ceres, from the bursting of a gun, when Acting Master Diarmaid sprang into the magezine and extin- guished the fire. A shell entered the cosl bunks of another of our steamers, setting them on fire. The flames were subdued with much difficulty, with but little damage to the vessel. NAVY YARD The King Philip and Leslie were down to the flotilla yesterday, and returned last night. Af. fairs are unchanged in the lower Potomac. The Harriet Lane is at Indian Head. Great activity still prevails at the yard, and more than seventeen bundred workmen are still employed. A very large proportion of these are engaged in the ordnance department, in the prep- aration of war material. ete A Traneren oF Dutixe, ANDAN AMNESTY.—By the recent order of the President, (noticed else- where in to-day’s Scar,) an amnesty is granted to the political prisoners now held in United States military posts, with exceptions !n the discretion of the Secretary of War, on condition of their future abstinence from codperation, direct or indirect, with the rebellion. Af the same time the Secretary of State is relieved from his responstbilities in that connec- tien. At the openiug of the rebellion, so heavy were the duties pressing on the War Department in extemporizing an army of 600,000 men to meet olvil war throughout the whele continent, that the President thought ft, at the request of the Secretary of War, to confide those responsibili- ties In regard to arrests of State prisoners, to the Seoretary of State All who are to continue in custody or may be necessarily arrested hereafter, are, under this order, to be held by {he War Department, (from the date of that order,) which Is to have exclu- sive charge of the subject. Its ebief is amply competent to manage the delicate and responsible trust with enlarged sagacity end forbearance, at the same time not hesitating to assume any responsibility in this connection that may be absolutely necessary for the well being of his chs:ge—the restoration of the Union—peeceably, if he can, forcibly, if he must. We have also to add that hereafter the duty of considering applications for passes to the South bas been devolved bythe War Department on Gen. Dix, at Baltimore. {7 An order was issued by the War Depart- ment yesterday releasing the political prisoners now incarcerated at Fort Warren and elsewhere, on their subscribing to a parole engaging them to render no aid or comfort to persons in hostility to the United States. This order applies to all persons under arrest, except those held as spies, and others whose release at the present time would be deemed incompatible with the public safety. Toall persons whosball be released under this order, and keep their parole, the President will grant an amnesty for all past disloyal or treasonabie offenses. Extraordinary arrests are hereafter ¢ be made only by the military author- ities.

Just as the Star goes to press to-day, the Gen- eral-in-Chief has received a dispatch from Gen. Buell, announcing that bis advance, under Gen. Mitchell, reached the river opposite Bowling Green yesterday by a forced march. The enemy fearing the passage of his force across the river by the remaining bridge there, burned that immediately, or sufficient of it to render it impassable. General Mitchell at once set about constructing another, under the protection of his guns. The enemy thereupon last night evacuated their Bowling Green stronghold, of which Gen- eral Mitchell is now doubtless in possession, as no enemy was left to resist him in raising the Stars and Stripes over it, the river being but to cross. Gen. Buell had for some days past been con- centrating a large force in the neighborhood, with which doubtless to march directly on Nash- ville after having reduced Bowling Green. it isthe impression in military circles here, that on evacuating their Bowling Green strong- hold last sight, the main body, if not all the rebel army, fled directly towards Nashville; as, to attempt to reinforce Fort Donelson instead, would be well-nigh a hopeless undertaking, and would inevitably be followed almost immediately by the fall of Nashville before the main body o¢ Buell’s army, and the fall of Knoxville before the division of Gen. Thomas. Neither Buell or Thomes can meet with any resistance to speak of in marching directly on hose most important strategic positions, if the army running awny from Bowling Green has failed in its retreat to alm to cover Nashville; which, by the by, is the main object of the effort of the enemy to continue to hold Fort Donelson Sanaa GENERAL LANDER'S VICTORY YESTER- DAY Pawraw, Va., Feb. 14—8 p. m.— Mayor General G.B. McClellan: The railroad was opened to Hancock this morning; also the telegraph. We had an important forced reconnoissanc® last night, which was completed to-day. We broke up the rebel nest at Blooming Gap. We ran down and captured seventeen (17) comm!s- sioned officers—aimong them colonels, lieutenant colonels, coptains, Ac. I will forward a de- scriptive list. We engaged them with four hundred cavalry. Our infantry were not near enough to support the cavalry, and the enemy were retiring. We have in all seventy-five prisoners, and killed thirteen of the enetay. We lost two men and six horses at their first fire. I led the charge in person. It ‘was 8 complete surprise. Col. Carroll, commanding the Sth or 8th Obio, made a very daring and successful reconnoisance imme diately afterwards, to Unger’s store. Major Frothingham is entitled to great credi, for building, under my direction, in four hours, in the dead of night, a complete bridge across the Great Cacapon, at an unfrequented mountain road. Two columns of 2,000 men each marched thirty-two miles—one column forty-three miles, since 4 p. m. yesterday, besides bridging the river. Papers taken, and m# own recornoissance to the south, prove the country clear, and Jackson and Loring in Winchester. We made a move and oceupled the Bloomery Gap and Point Mills east, on the belief (by in- formation obtained from deserters) that General Casson’s brigade was there. Gen. Dunning has just arrived at New Creek, from Moorfield, forty miles south of Romney. He has captured 225 beef cattle, and broke up the guerilla baunt there. Two of his men were badly wounded. He killed several of the rebels. The enemy have thus been driven out of this department. - * * * (Signed) PF. W. Lanner, Brig. Gen. FORT DONELSON. This forenoon a dispatch reached the General- in-Chief here from Gen. Halleck at St. Louis, announcing the investment of Fort Donelson with a force of 50,000 men, aided by the noble fleet of Commodore Foote, and anticipating its speedy reduction. Gen. Halleck says that Pillow, Floyd and Buckner are in it, with a force of 15,000 men, and he Is evidently of opinion that his arrange- ments to cut them off from reinforcements will surely be successful. How any portion of the rebel army In Fort Donelson can possibly escape death or capture, is past us to divine. Parties who came up Ly the Old Point boat say it was reported at Norfolk yesterday that Fort Donelson had been captured. <0 e-—___ INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE OF ROANOKE ISLAND. It was dull and cloudy on Friday evening when the works were first shelled by the gun- boats, and on Saturday the rain fell steadi y all day without any intermission. The men were landed at daybreak on Saturday morning, and it was about eleven o’cleck when the action com- At first it assumed somewhat the char- acter of a brush fight, until the rebels were driven to the center of the isla id, and the artil- lery was brought into requisition. The island is about twelve miles long, and the landing was effected on the mainland side, about four miles from the lowerend. At their earthworks in the center there were some fine and store- houses, the latter of which, with all their con- tents, were burnt by shells from the gunboats. The main camp was at the upper end of the island, where there were fine barracks and an abundance of the necessaries and comforts of camp life. Owing to the destruction of the storehouse food was very scarce on the island, and hed it not been for the abundance of pigs running about there would bave been much suf- fering on Sunday and Monday. The prisoners were allo’ to continue in session of their camp and barracks, whilst the Federal soldiers, both officers and men, roughed itas best they could on the damp earth be Peed wen; lpoeti eg hjr Noodle age » being conducted to ower o the Tiana to be entvarked. for New York.

Energetic efforts were making to discover and relieve all who may have been wounded, and secreted themselves in the woods, marshes, and swamps, where many bave been found, brought into camp, and their wounds dressed by both the Federal and Coofederate surgeons. Trophies of various kinds were picked up, amongst which were Confederate flags, private letters, military orders, and some Confederate money, in the shape of bonds. The Richmond Blues fonght with desperation and great bravery. They lost more men propor- tionately than any other company killed and wounded The Federal troops, without distinction, are reported as having behaved courageously. No vandalism was permitted by Gen. Burnside by his troops after the victory. The Confederate’ prisoners bore their misfor- tune with becoming philosophy. All indications snow Gen. Burnside to be pre- paring for other active and important operations. GEN. BURNSIDE’S DISPATCH Headquarters Department, N.C. oanoke Island, Feb. 10, 1862. Major Gen. George B. McClellan, commanding U.S. Army, Washington. General: I have the honor to report that a com- bined attack upon this island was commenced on the morning of the 7th, by the naval and mili- tary forces of tuls expedition, which has resulted in the capture of siz forts, forty guns, over two thousand prisoners, and upwards of three thous- and small arms. Among the prisoners are Col. Shaw, commander of the Island, and O. J. Wise, commander of the Wise Legion. The latter was mortally wounded and has since died ‘The whole work was finished on the afternoon ofthe 8th, after a hard day’s fighting, by a bril- liant charge in the center of the Island, resulting in the capture of the prisoners mentioned above. We have bad no time to count them, but the number Is estimated at near 3,000. Our men fought bravely and have endured most manfully the bardships incident to fighting through swamps and dense thickets. It is impossible to give the details of the en- gagement, or to mention meritorious officers and men inthe short time allowed for writing this report, the naval vessel carrying it starting im- mediately for Hampton Roads, and the reports of the Brigadier Generals have not yet been handed in. It is enough to say that the officers and men of both arms of the service have fought gallantly, and the plans agreed on before leaving Hatteras Inlet were carried ont. I will be excused for saying, in reference to the action, that I owe everything to Gens. Foster, Rene and Parker, as more full details will show. { am sorry to report the loss of about thirty-five killed and about two hundred wounded—ten of them probably mortally. Among the killed are Col. Russell, of the 10th Connecticut, and Lt. Col. Victor OD. Monteil, of the DeEspinenil Zouaves. Both of them fought most gallantly. [ regret exceedingly not being able to send a full report of the killed and wounded, but will send a dispatch in a day or two with full returns. I beg leave to enclose a copy of a general order issued by me on the 9th {am most bappy to say that I have just received a message from Commander Goldsborough, stating that the expedition of his gunboats against Elizabeth City and the rebel fleet has been en- tirely s essful. He will, of course, send his teturns to this Department. I have the honor to be, General, your obedient servant, A. E. Burnsing, Brigadier General Commanding Department of North Carolina. Confederate Telegrams Memruis, Feb. il.—There has beena heavy loss of steamboats on the Tennessee river, in con- sequence of the invasion of the Federal gunboats Lexington, Conestogaand Sam. Orr. On Satur- day the Appleton Belle and Lynn Bird, Confede- rate boats, were burnt by our troops at the mouth of Duck river. The Sam Kirkman, Julius and Time, also Confederate boats, (the latter with $100 000 worth of government stores,) were aban- doned and burnt at Florence on Saturday. The steamer Dunbar wassunk in Cypress creek. The Eastport was sunk. The Cerro Gordoand Sallie Ward were the only Confederate boats captured by the Federals be Robb escaped. The Federal gunboats have left the river, but expected to return. They took 20,000 pounds pork from Florence, but refused to touch private property, not even cotton. It is reported that the Federals are concentra- ting a large force in the vicinity of Paris, where there are about 1,00 Confederate cavalry The Federals have abandoned Fort Henry, and are fortifying Fort Angilo, opposite. Fort Henry has been inundated, and the walls are c nz in The Federals threaten to take possession of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad within two weeks, to which they have easy access.
