Spirit of the Morning Press. ‘The Intelligencer notes the recent change in European opinion relative to intervention between the government and the rebels. The Republican, in the unhappy frame of mind which usually characterizes it in relation to the Star, endeavors to distert a news item in this paper—mentioning the Roland-for-an-Oliver slap of the London Examiner at Hon. Owen Lovejcy In reply to bis bunkum tweak at the whiskers of the British Lion—into an assault upon Mr. Love- joy upon our part. Mr. Lovejoy who is a good fellow and sensible enough at bottom, despite his run-mad abolition. ism, will not thank the Republican for making him ridiculous by its style of defense. —-s. OUR MILITARY BUDGET. Se ASS SS TRANSFERS OF TROOPS. A Brocklyn regiment, 850 men, quartered in Alexand:ia last nigbt, and left this morning for Gen. Heintzieman’s division Five companies of the 5th Pennsylvania, Col. McLean, have left Alexandria to occupy the forts onthe Eastern Branch of the Potomac, leaving four companies for the protection of the city. Other transfers of troops through thisjcity have eccumed lately. ——_-o+0-- {07 Our abolition cotemporary, the Kepubii- can, allows its jealousy and envy of the Star to betray It Into some coarse slang, in which it charges that ‘there wasa time when the editor of the Star could not find epithets vulgar or sh enough to express his contempt of Prest- dent Lincoln and the Republican party ;” and that now, for “‘ favors,’? ‘“ patronage,” &c., we fawn upon and fitter those whom we formerly abused. We have to say, that we challenge the Repud- ‘ean to ransack our files and point out where we bave either disparaged or fluttered President Lin- coin or the Republican party. Though never sing- ing hosannas for, or proclaiming allegiance to. the Republican party, we have, throughout its his- tory, treated it, and its representative men, 28 our abolition neighbor knows not how to treat eny- thing or anybody—with courtesy As to the “ favors and patronage”’ the Kepui: ean talks about with such watering mouth, we bave never asked or received any, and are quite able to do witbout them.

Cuicaco, Feb. 19 —The Tribune's correspord- ent, In giving a description of the battle at Fort Donelson, says that when Col. Craft's brigade, which had been ordered to reinforce Gen. McCler- nand, came up in the rear of the 30th and 3ist Ulincis, and 25th Kentucky, these regiments were lying down and firing over the crest cf a bill. On the approach of the reinforcemenis they tose, not knowing whether the force in their rear was friend or foe; and the 25th Kentucky, sup- Posing them toe be rebels. poured in a raking volley on them, which did terrible ution, and wes suffictent to throw the entir: rigade inte disorder at once. Almost a panic ensued, many throwing down thelr guns and equipments and fleeing. The woods were filled with strag- glers, and some even fied to Fort Henry The enemy improved the 0; portunity, and ad- vanced upon Schwartz’s and ler’s batteries, capturing five gw and taking possession of McClernand’s beadquarters, driving our forces nearlya mile aud ahalf The rebels seemed re- solved to follow up their advantage At this juncture General Wallace's division wes thrown in front, and took a position 07 a ridge, with Taylor's bettery In the center of the road.

The of the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following interesting description of the part taken by the gunboats in the reduction of Fort ‘leon : wee THE FIRING. ev'tred by the rebels fromm the water batlery. was y the re! e A We were then a mile and a half distant from fort. The ball struck the water about one hun- dred yards abead of us. Two minutes later an- other ball—a 64-pounder from oe battery— ‘was fired at us, but dropped 2 about one hundred and fifty yards. Several shots were di- rected toward us, but without effect, before we opened fire. Pat seven minutes to three the St Louis o the battle for our fleet by the discharge of 8- inch shell gun. The shot feil into the water, within a few yards of the lowest battery of the fort. Our fleet firedalowly at first, but with good efféct—a great number of our sheels bursting within the enemy’s fortifications. We advanced on the fort slowly, but Comrie om the four gunboats maintaining thelr line of battle admirably. Ata quarter past three the firing increased in rapidity on both sides Shell after skell was sent from our boat at intervals of less than five seconds. The enemy’s fire had by this time become terrific. They were using 32-pound bal! principally, aud firing more frequently than we, with great accu- racy. Our fleet used twelve guns, each fron-clad boat working its three bow pieces The Cones- toga and Taylor kept about 1.500 yards fn our rear firing shell nt long range. The Conestoga fired thirty-six S-inch she!l during the action; the Taylor sixty-one Their distance from the fort ‘was too great for effective working, but they kept a gouple of the enemy’s guns engaged during a greater part of the action, and thus diverted many shots that otherwise would have been aimed at the iron-clad vessels. About three- quarters of an hour after the com- mencement of: the engagement, the boats had steamed within three feared yards of the fort, and the hottest of the battle took place. gunners bad by this time got the range of. rebel batteries much better than at first, and tials shot and sheil were made to fall within the breastworks and entrenchments with great effect. The water battery wrs silenced, and the guns deserted by the enemy. From the deck of the gunboats the rebel soldiers could be seen running up the bill to seek shelter in the entrenchments of the upper batteries. Just as this occurred an officer was observed to emerge from a redoubt ond wave a sword above his bead. I could not tell whether be was cheering his men to victory or driving them back to their guns. The only flag we could discover on the fort was one whiek appeared to usto be plain red. This, however, can be accounted for by the fact that red predominates so largely in the colors composing the rebel flag. Some of our men thought the enemy desired to signify that he meant “‘blood ** Whatever he meant, he dis- played considerable foresight in placing the flag ata gocd distance froia bis guns, thereby re- z what is usually an excellent mark to Our shoo’ a‘. At balf past three a shell from one of our boats struck the rebel flagstetf, breaking it off close to the und. An ctlicer of the fort immediately ran out and erected it near its former site ALL THE FLAGS CUT DOWN. Searcely nad the rebel ee been displaced when a 32-pound bail struck the flag-staff of the St. Louts, carrying it away close tothe ship’s deck. It had no sooner fallen than one of our brave men jumped before the mouth of a cannon juat about to be fired, and seizing the spar, placed itin an upright position, and coolly remained a mark for the enemy, while he secured it to the ship’s deck with a rope. A few moments after this the Gag-staif of the Louisville was carried off; that of the Carondoiet went next, and that of the Pittsburg followed soon after. DAMAGES TO THE BOATS. As we neared the fort the enemy commenced pouring ‘! plunging shot” into us with great ra- pidity. Their guns were well pointed and did great execution. A 32-pound ball struck the pilot house of our vessel, piercing the inch-and-a- half tron and the fifteen-inch oak. In striking the iron plate it was breken A numberof large fragments seatte red within the pilot house, mor- tally wounding one of the pilote—F. A. Riley, of Cincinnati—striking Commodore Foote in the ankle, and slightly tnjuriny two other men. [m- mediately after this, a shot entered our deck in the starboard side, and passing throught it glanced downward to the sbe!l room, striking the ship’s cook, Charles W. Baker, of Philadelphia, in the bead, literally tearing the skull off. Sev- eral heavy ‘balls now glanced over the pilot- house, pfercing the chimneys, away thecbimnrys guys above water mark. It was now discovered that the wheel had been injured by the shot which killed the pilot. Two of the spokes were broken, and the vessel did not An atteinpt was made tosteer her by the relieving tackle, but it was found that the current was too strong. The Com- modore, fearing lest the «bip should turn a broad- her to drop down respond well to her helm wide to the enemy; slowly. The other boats we found were suffering?quite as severely as the tlag-ship One of the guns of the Caroundelet bursted dur- the engagement; the tiller- ropes of the Louisville were cut away, rendering ing the latter part ¢ it almost impossible to steer correctly ; the Pitts- burg received s number of suots below water mark, causing her to leak very rapidly. These two latter accidents happening almost simultan- eously with the injury to the fiag-sbip, rendered a withdrawal absolutely necessary. The order was then given for the entire fleet to drop beyond the range of the fort. Though feeling that the condition of our boats demanded this movement, it was with reluctance that the Commodore reconciled him- self te it. The enemy had almost ceased firing having been ariven from the lower forts and compelled to seek refuge behind guns that bore but poorly upon us. Quick, however, to notice our disabled condition, we bad no sooner com- menced to retire than they again ran to the lower batteries, and opened : ik and effective fire. ‘The first of these shots entered the port-bow of the Caronde'et, cutting off two men’s heads, and wounding two other men. Uhe bouts retiaed slowly to the point whence they started for the scene of action, about two miles from the fort. The fire of the enemy kept pouring in upon ;us from thirteen gune, while our position inthe river prevented us from usin: more than half that number As we float slowly down the current the rebels took courage and boldly sallied forth from their entrenchments. Hitherto the entire space within the fort appeared one sheet of untrodden snow; but five minutes tid aot elapse, after the stoppage of our engines, when the whole scene was changed, as if a whirlwind bad seit over the bill and removed nearly every trace of the storm of Thursday—the enemy’s forces, wild with enthusiasm, had rushed cown to the, lower batteries [n such numbers The battle lasted one hour and seventeen min- utes. The last shot was tired by the St. Louis. It fell within a few feet of the river battery, causing earth and water to tly into the fort. At this, about a hundred of the rebels started as if up the bill; they soon found, however, that 2 had withdrawn, and returned to open an in- effectual fire upon our disavled tleet. It took us abont balf an hour for our fleet to re- tire beyond the range of the guns. The with- drawal was managed with great skill. We per- raltted our boats to float gently down the stream in the exact line of battle. and although the steam- ing apparatus of the St. Louis and Louisville was — ess, no collision or accident of any kind appened. We dropped anchor in good order. It was found that the Pittsburg was leaking ver, rapidly, and she was ordered to tie up on the Tett bank of the river. The St. Louis was struck Gl times in the en- gagement; the Pittsburg 47; the Carondelet 54. And the Louisville about 40. The enemy fired about 500 shots. Our fleet fired a little more than 300, about 75 of which were eight inch shells. ee MAYOR’S OFFICE, Feb — t 2 Secordance with the itint Teeornting of Inthe City Hall will bo sited om Ba eU eRe? vity wil be 01 o 22d that RICHARD WALLACH. ©” fea (intel. & Repub.)
