INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF AF- FAIRS AT BOWLING GREEN. The Louisville correspondent of the N. Y. Herald writes February 11th: The information which I sent you yesterday in regard to the probable evacuation of Bowi- ing Green is corroborated in every ular saveone. Gen. Buckner’s brigade did not go to East Tennessee, but ii Russellville, where additional brigades of sixty day men have swelled his command to 15,000 men. Gen. Buell hss such information as leads him tofear that the rebeis have deserted their stronghold, having become aware of the dangerous situa- tion in which they bad placed themselves. He has for some time been fearful that his plans would too soon reveal themselves, and that an evacuation of Bowling Green would take place too soon to be of any advantage to him. Fear- ing te frighten them away, be has refrained from crossing Green riv It issaid that any such movement would have undoubtedly re- suited in the flight of the whole army and the destruction of Bowling Green. Such a flight would bave been no benefit whatever tous. But to surround and capture the whole force, arms and ammunitien, would have been a blow from which they would have been long in recover- ing. . SITUATION OF BOWLING GREEN. From several sourees I am in possession of interesting information and documents which reveal a sad state of affairs at Bowling Green. Aceurste information of the situation and char- acter of the defenses is hard to obtain. Those ocessionally arriving here are — under oath to reveal nothing, while those who have ped are, in most instances, entirely igno- For the absolute correctness of the in- formation which follows regarding the defenses I cannot vouch; but I am assured Sy Mr. John R. G-:ham, late resident of Bowling Green, (anc driven from the place fer holding the most uncompromising Union sentiments ;) Mr. Quigley, banker of this city, and others intimately acquainted with the country, that the maps of “the neighborhood around Bow- ling Green’’ were 93 nearly perfect as could be any topographical map. The city is situated, as laid down, at a dis- tance of five hundred yards from Barren river, at a point where it makes a bend not unlike a horseshoe. The town is about fifty feet above the level of the stream, and occupies an area of about three-fourths of a milessquare. The southeastern portion is built at College Hill, many of the buildings being upon the western slope of this and another, known as Grider Hill. Both these prominent points are en- closed within the southeastern limits of the city. The buildings of Bowling Green are in many instances of aristocratic preportions and rich design, but in the amain are of a cheap, neat and pretty style.“ The city is, or was, re- markably clean, as if it had been undergoing a white-washing process. The streets are wide and straight. It is not lit by gas, nor has it the benefit of water works. ITS TOPOGRAPHY. The tepography of the three miles immedi- ately surrounding the city would interest the most indifferent of engineers, and send a thrill of pleasure to Porte Crayon’s heart. The dozen of prominent and important hills rising above oak hiding the littlecity in the valley would attract the keen eye that hunted posi- tions for his guns, and it is not to be wondered at if we find that the deserted position was in a fair way to become another Manassas strong- hold. And may it not be that the vaunted Virginia position will soon be deserted as this bas been. ° The lines of the jsville and Nashville Railroad and the turnpike of the same name cross Barren river in lines parallel to each other, and whose courses are a little east of north. and which are not over one hundred and fifty feet apart, the turnpike fine being to the t. Immediately on crossing the river both strike a prominent point, which is known familiarly as Baker's Hill, and in avoidin, which the lines depart from their parallel course and wind around the different sides of this hill. The railroad runs to the west through an eighteen or twenty feet cut in the side of the hill, and then, making a sharp curve, runs due northeast for three miles. The turnpike, having wound around the eastern base of the hill, and running due north, intersects the railroad at the distance of three miles from the town. Here they again separate, the railroad running east and the turnpike west of what is known as Gowaw’s Hill, upon whieh and an- other, withou' re planted. THE Ls’ OUTER DBFEN: Gowan’s Hill is 2 mile north of interses- tion of the railroad and turnpike. Another knob rises to the east of Gowan’s, and between the two the railroad winds. On these two hills are the outer works of the rebels, established only as a lure to draw on the Union army. My informant has heard the men and officers in charge seeking ef these defenses as ee of no strength and of little importance, as they can be entirely avoided by an attacking army. ‘The works and guns made and mounted here will hardly make a show of resistance, if ever manned for defense or attack, both of which alternatives are improbable. BAKER'S HILL. Baker's Hill is the point around which the railroad and turnpike wind immediately after crossing the river. It is one of those isolated so prevalent in Kentueky, and celled Baker’s Hill is about seventy-five or eighty feet ve the level of the country to the north, and with a broad and level summit, exactly suited, with little labor, for the works which have been mounted uponit. A house stonds upon the eastern elope, neer the sum- mit. On the northern slope the rebels have erected works which mount three guns, and behind these a lunette fort, mounting three others of a larger caliber The tower works on the slope are in the form of a creseent, and are made in the follow- ing manuer:—A foundation was made, and upon it were placed four igs - pens made of logs, and bound together by brushwood. These were placed at regular diztances apart. thus making the embrazures for the guns, and then filled with stones and earth. A ditch was then dug in front, wide and deep, and the earth thrown up tthe pens, as in the case of rifle pits. The whole was then sodded. On a level with the top of these works was made the found: the inner fort, the summit of which is a little above that of the hill. This fort is made in the same strong manner, and is undoubtedly a work of impor- tance. The trees in front end to the right and left of these works were felled with their heads down the bill, and the brush left unlop- ped, thus forming an abatis of formidable pro- portions and character. To the south, in the rear of the fort, the way is open for a retreat. A road winds up the southern slope of the hill, and reaches the turnpike at the point of turn- ing to cross the river at # right angle. MOUNT AIRY. The main line of northern defenses are those on Baker’s Hill and the four bills east and west of it. To begin with the east. About three- jaarters of a mile, and on the ite side of Barren river from Baker’s Hill, isthe knob which was the former residence of Homer L.

These guns all bear upon the northern approaches by rail and pike, and by Hennan’s Ford and Ewing’s Ferry. Abatis have been formed in the same manner as those previously noticed. THE FORDS OF BARREN RIVER There are three points within three miles of Bowling Green at which Barren riyer is ford- able.

Desperate Fighting—Federal Loss 400 Killed, 800 Wounded—15,000 ee Leet Taken Prisoners —65 Pieces of Artiliery and 20,000 Stand of Arms Captured. Cuicaco, Feb. 17.—A special dispatch to the Times dated Fort Donelson, Feb. 16, says: Fort Donelson surrendered at daylight thie morning, unconditionally. We have mken Generals Buck- ner, Johnson, Bushrod, and 15,000 prisoners, also 3,000 horses. Generals Pillow and Floyd, with their brigades, ran away on steamers during the night, without letting Buckner know their intentions. Gen Smith led the charge on the lower end of the works, and was first inside the fortification. The Fort Henry runaways were all here bagged. ‘i beh i are going on board the steamers for Cairo Our loss is heavy, probably 400 killed and S00 wounded. We losea large percentage of officers, among them Lieut. . Erwin, of the 20th [li- nois; White, of the 3ist, and Smith, of the 48th. Cols John A Logan, Sawyer and Ransom are ‘wounded Mejor Post, of the Sth fiipeis, mich. two bun- area vates, onets, and have gone to Nashville, having been taken on the night before the surrender tn a skirmish. The enemy’s loss is very heavy, but not as great 88 ours, as they fought behind intrenchments, whilst our brave fellows had nothing to shelter them from the iron storm We should have taken them by storming on turday if our ammunition had not given out in the night. McClernand’s division. composed of Generals Oglesbie’s, Wallace’s and McArthur’s brigades, seffered terribly. They were com; d of the 8th, 9th, Lith, i8th, 20th, 29th, 30th, 3ist, 35th, 38th and 49th Illinois. Gen. Lew. Wallace, with the llth Indiana, Sth Missouri and some Ohio regiments, participated in the assault ~ Taylor’s, Willard’s, McAllister’s, Schwartz's and De Casse’s batteries were in the fight from the commencement. THE LAST STRUGGLE—THE ASSAULT. The enemy turned our right for half an hour, but our lost ground was more than regained Gen Lanman’s brigade, of Gen. Smith’s di- vision, was the first in the lower end of the ene- yA works, which was done by a charge of bay- ‘onet. As nine-tenths of the rebels were pitted against our right, our forces on the right were ready all night to recommence the attack on Saturday morning; they were met on their approach by a white flag, Gen. Buckner having sent early in the morning a dispatch to Gen. Grant, surrender- ing the works. The outworks of the fort extended some five miles. THE TROPHIES. The rebels lose 45 field pieces, 17 heavy guns, 20,000 stand of arms, besides a large quantity of commissary stores, &c. THE ENEMY DEMORALIZED. The rebel troops are completely demoralized, and have no confidence in their leaders, as they charge Pillow and Floyd with deserting them. WHAT OUR TROOPS ENDURED. Our troops, from the moment of the investment of the fort on Wednesday last, lay on their arms sant and day—half the time without provisions, allthe time without tents, and a ion of the time in a heavy rain storm The Surrender—Recep the News at St. Lenis—Great Rejeicing. Sr. Louis, Feb. 17.—Fort Donelson surrendered at 9 o’clock yesterday morning to our land forces. Several gunboats were present at the time An immense amount of war material is mong the trophies of the victory.

Webb's Hill is fortified on the western slope as well as the northeastern. One gun on this hill looks to the northeast ard two to the west. These works are only the heavy embankments noticed before. JUDGE UNDERWOOD’S HILL. Upon this hill are the main defenses of the southwestern approaches, and, in view of the fact that the positien is naturally weak on the southwest, a splendid bastion fort has been built upon this knob. The summit of the hill expands to a broad ares, and its slopes, unlike mest of the hills encircling the city, are gentle and regular. Upon this point the rebel engi- neer has devoted his chiefest labor and skill, and the positioa is considered as nearly im- preguable as such works can be to shot and shel.. The fort en this hill is of the largest dimensions possible, and was intended to mount thirteen guns of the heaviest caliber; but cir- cumstances have rendered it impossible to mount heavy ceseee, and it is thought the fort .has been supplied with smaller ones. BOBSON’S HILL. Southeast, and on the opposite side of the river from Judge Underwood’s hill, is the basis of additional defences of the sout. west- ern approaches. The lunette fort on this hill mounts twe guns, and the breastwork as many more. THE SOUTHEASTERN DEFENCES. The defences to the southeast are planted on four hills forming a ee and familiarly known as Calvert's, McGoodwin’s,Grider’s and College hills. Of these, all but McGoodwin's are fortified, and, with the exception of College Hill, in the same manner as noticed before. CALVERT’S BILL. ¢ On Calvert’s Hill, which lies due south from the city, behind a strong lunette breastwork, two guns are mounted bearing south and south- weet. , GRIDER’S BILL. Upon Grider’s Hill, behind similar works, three guns of heavier caliber are mounted. This tion looks to an approach from the east via the Scottsville road. COLLEGE HILL.
