ALExanpRia Arrarrs —From the Alexandria Chronicle of yesterday we make up the following Items : Arthur Cumminskey, whose arm was ampu- tated near the shoulder in consequence of a been _run over by the cars, died at the hospi! last Thursday afternoon. The body of a soldier was found in the canal day before yesterday. It is not known to what regiment he was attached, and after awaiting recognition at the deadhouse, the deceased was buried yesterday. An investigation is now being held by a com- mission of magistrates into the cause of the re- cent fire on Prince street, which broke out in the office of the “‘Local News.”* m. Morell, Col. McQuade of the New York 14th, and Mrs. McQuade, were each presented with a massive silver gobiet night before last. George Cooper, a Baltimore secessionist, who bas been keeping a huckstering establishment on Fairfax street, and who assaulted Mr Tacey, the Collector of Taxes, on Tuesday, for demand- ing his license tax, was brought before Justice Penn, on Wednesday, for trial. Cooper acknowl- edged to have been counseled bY a pane of seces- sionists to deny the authority of Mr. Tacey, and of the State government under which he acts, and to resist, by force, the collection of his li- cense-tax. Justice Penn told the prisoner that if he would give the names of the conspirators his punishment would be lighter than if he concealed them. Cooper refused to disclose the names of bis rebel associates, upon which Justice Penn promptly sentenced him to pay a fine of $100, znd to be imprisoned for thirty days.

Just as the second edition of the Star of to-day goes to press, a dispatch from General Halleck’s headquarters has reached here addressed to Sen- ator Thompson, saying—‘Fort Donelson is taken, with 15,000 prisoners, and Floyd among them ”’ At 2 p.m. no despatch verifying the above had reached the headquarters here, where its truth, however, was not regarded as being im- probable. Our latest positive advices from Fort Donelson are up to 12 o'clock on the night of the 13th, when it was confidently believed by our officials that the question of the surrender of the pleee was one of hours only. So weare inclined to believe this good news is true. The President's Thanks tothe Fercee that Captured Fort Henry and Roancke Island. Wasuinoton Crry, D.C, Feb. 15, 1862 The President, Commender-in-Chief of the Army und Navy, returns thanks to Brig. Gen Burnside and Flag Officer Goldsborough, and to Brig. Gen. Grant and Flag Officer Foote, and the land and naval forces under their respective com- mands, for their gallant achievements in the cap- ture of Fort Henry and at Roanoke Island. While it will be no ordinary pleasure for him to acknowledge and reward, in becoming man- ner, the valor of the living, he also recognizes his duty to pay fitting honor to the memory of the gallant dead. The charge at Roanoke Island, like the bayonet charge at Mill Spring, proves that the close grap- ple and sharp steel of loyal and patriotic soldiers must always put rebels and traitors to flight The late achievements of the navy show that the flag of the Union once borne in proud glory around the world by naval beroes.will soon again float over every rebel city and stronghold, and that it shall forever be honored and respected, as the embiem of Liberty and Union, in every land and upon every sea By crder of the President: Epwin M.

Later in the day it was rumored that a couple of the enemy’s vessels had proceeded on a reconnois sance as far as “Coleraine.” The Norfolk Day-Book gives a sketch of a new flag adopted by the committee of Congress on the subject. It is tobea blue union ona red field,with four stars in the form of a square in the union The Richmond Enquirer says that four bun- dred prisoners of war are expected to leave Rich- mond for Newport News in a day or two, in ex- change for an equal number of Confederates re- leased by the Federal Government, and who reached Norfolk on Tuesday.

A Norfolk telegram says it is believed that the Mortar fleet is intended for this place. A gentleman just arrived from Gatesville, says that seven hundred horses were ianded at Eden- ton last night; also that a large number had been landed at Elizabeth City. Hertford, capital of Perquimans county, was taken by the Federals yesterday. The population is fifteen hundred. Capt. Goodwin, of Robinson, of the N.C.

The fort returned the fire, and the gun- boat retired. The federals have landed in force, and a battle with light artillery commenced this evening. Itis reported that the federal ferce is from ten to twelve thousand. When the steamer left for Cumberland City the battle was raging. No particulars are given. Pstexspune, Feb. i3.—The editor of the Ex" press his received a letter from Suffolk dated Thursday, which says that Edenton and Hert- ford have both been captured. Five guobosts moved slowly to the wharf at Edenton yesterday at nine o’clock and landed their troops. Very soon afterwards fifteen more gunboats arrived. ‘The citizens raised a white flag. Between three and four thousand Federal troops landed at Eden- ton. The population of Edenton is about two thousand, and it is distant from Suffolk about fifty miles. In the afternoon two gunboats went up the Cheraw river towards Winton, and several others towards the mouth of the Roanoke.
