Out of sixty-eight Confederate prison ers, taken by Captain Oliver at the Blue Springs settlement, in Jackson county, Missouri, only fourteen could write iheir names. The written vouchers for this fact are in the city, and can be exhibited. The large proportion of the prisoners from Fort Donelson, who cannot read, is notorious. This is one of the saddest fruits of slavery, and of the character of material composing the staple cf rebellion which this war has yet revealed. A free and popular government cannot prosper with an uneducated people, and the ten dency of slavery is to enshroud them in ignorance. St. Louis Democrat. for March.

Bucknex the other day, at Jef- fersonville, Indiana, expressed the opin ion unreservedly that he owed his cap ture to the folly of Gen. Pillow. The commanders of the rebel forces at Fort Donelson agreed upon a plan cf retreat, after they became satisfied they could not win the battle. Pillow, with his for ces was to attack and cut his way through the right flank of the Federal forces, and at a given period, was to signal to Gen. Buckner, who was to attempt a similar feat. Pillow succeeded partially, but in the weakness of hisjoy over his own escape, neglected 'the signal and set about telegraphing a report southward that he had one a great victory, Iu that deluding his rebel friends, for he was driven Lack to his old quarters, and only escaped by stealing out at night. Gen Buckner states that the opportu nity was tendered him and his staff to make their escape with Gens. Pillow, and Floyd, and the plan was submitted to the officers. After consultation, they, with a single exceptiyn, determined to share the fate cf their men. Njtvs .From Burnside's Expe dition. Col. C. B.
