- The: News.
, We have been virtually without mails,
for two days past, owing to the breaking
up of the river and other irregularities
in the direction of Saint Joseph. The
telegraph lines are down also.
The latest and most; important news
we have is that our Gunboat and Mor
tar boat, flotilla had opened a vigorous
attack upon Island No. 10. The follow
ing telegram ia all we have: . !
Cairo, March 17.
News has just been received from be
low that the gunboat and mortar boat
flotilla has opened a vigorous attack on
the rebel works on Island No. 10 thus
far with -great success. We await the
result with great anxiety. The excite
ment here is perfectly wild. It is ex
pected that the whole rebel force will be
tagged.','
The Nebraska Eeglnient at llic Cat
tic of Fort Donelson. .
To read Illinois papers one would nat
urally suppose there were no other soldiers
at the battle of Fort Donelson but Illinois
Regiments. Illinois has turned out men
nobly men who have fought bravely,
too, on every occasion, and we would not
detract from them a single iota of praise
ot credit ; yet there were others there
who did equally as well as Illinois Regi
ments, or those from any other State.
The Nebraska First, composed of hardy
men, inured to all the hardships incident
and peculiar to tamp-life ; familiar with
the use "of fire-arms, and with as brave
hearts aa ever throbbed in human breasts,
were there;and right nobly did they act
their part. For the reasons given above,
much was expected of our Regiment, and
it was called into action at a time when
even the appearance of flinching could not
Ve Tolerated : when Gen. M'Clernand's
and. Col. Cruft's commands, had been
compelled ly the enemy to retreat,-and
were fleeing, and "a mounted officer gal
loped down the road, shouting, 'ice art cut
to pieces!'" This was a critical mo-j
risnt, and we will let' Gen. Wallace
through his official report, speak for the
Nelaska boys.' .He says:
"Soon fugitives from the battle
came crowding' up the hill in rear of
my own line, bringing unmistabable
eigna of distress. Capt. Rawlins was
conversing with me at the time, when
amounted officer galloped down the
road, shouting, "We are cut to pieces!"
The effect was very perceptible. To
prevent a panic among , the regiment
of my Third Brigade, I ordered Col.
Thayer to move on bv the right flank.
He promptly obeyed.- Colonel Wal
lace, whose coolness under the circum
stances was astonishing, informed me
that the enemy were following, and
would shortly sttack. The crisis was
come; there was. no -time to await
thrnfit bfttwepti the retiring tVr0 .&!
. the advancing Toe. Accordingly I
conducted Col. Thayer's command up
the road where the ridge dips towards
the rebel works ; directed the Colonel
to form a new line of battle at a right
angle with the old one -y sent for com
pany A, Chicago Light Artillery, and
despatched n.xnessengerto inform Gen
Smith of the state of affairs, and ask
him for assistance. . The head of Col.
Thayer's column filed right double
.. quick.. Lieut. Wood, commanding the
. artillefy.'company -sent for, galloped
up with portion of his battery, and
..posted his pieces so a&.to sweep ap-
' proach by the road in front; a line of
reserve wag also tormed at convenient
distance in the rear of the first line,
consisting cf the Seventy-sixth Ohio,
and Forty-sixth and " Fifty-seventh
- Illinois. '; :
Thecew. front thus formed covered
the retirb regiments, helpless from
lack of Lunition, but which coolly
- halted net far cfT, some of them actu
; ally within r?ach of the enemy's mus
', ketry, to refill their, cartridge boxes.
And, as formed, my new front consis
ted of Wood's battery across the road ;
on the right of the battery the' First
Nebraska and Fifty-eighth Illinois ;
left of the battery a detached company

Davison,' nsd the Fifty-eighth Ohio,

WAR NEWS.
March 4th, to the Tribune, says Gen.
Bragg, with his forces, numbering
Let ns liaie no more Erasing.
It has always been one of the leading
beasts of the South that the "chivalric
Southerner" could whip fire to one.
Since the war commenced they have been
continually "dying in the Inst ditch;"
"may be killed but cannot be conquered,"
and all that kind of swaggering braga
docis. In a speech made to scmo of the
rebel soldiers last summer. Gen. Henry
A. Wise used the following grandiloquent
language:
"If the enemy's guns reach further
than yours, reduce the distance meet
them foot to foot, eye to eye, body to
body and when you strike a blow,
strike home. Your true blooded lan
kee will never stand still in the pres
ence of cold steel. Let your aim,
therofore, be to get into close quarters,
and with a feW decided, .vigorous
movements, always pushing forward,
never back, my word for it, the soil of
Virginia will be swept of the Vandals
who are now pointing its atmosphftre.
This wonderfully brave man reduced
the distancft between himself and Norfolk
very rapidly when he heard , the roar cf
Yankee guns.
Another of these gallant "chivalry of
the South" Pillow held forth in a sim
ilar strain in Missouri, in July last, as
follows: .
"The field for active service is be
fore you. Our btay here will be short.
Our mission is to place ocr downtrod
den sister on her leet, and to enable
her to breathe after the heavy tread
of the tyrant's foot. Then, by her
own brave sons, she will maintain her
rights and protect her own fair women
from the foe, whose forces march
under banners inscribed with 'beauty
and booty' as the reward of victory.
"... .
In victory the brave are always merci
ful ; but no quarters will be shown to
troops marching under such a banner.
Now Pillow is running so fast that one
cannot see his heels for dust or mud.
The following will show what is now
thoucht and said in the South. It is an
extract from a letter written by a South
ern officer to the Richmond Examiner
"The Roanoke affair is perfectly
incomprehensible. The newspapers
arc filled with extravagant laudations
of our valor the annals of Greece and
Rome offer no parallel whole regi
ments were defeated by companies
and we yielded onlv to death. Our
w m
men finely surrendered "with no blood
on their bayonets, and what is the
loss? Richmond Blues, two killed and
five, wounded; "MfcUulloch Rangers,
cho ""Lii'ed" rr i two wounded; the
Other fuur-cu ypauiss lost. In all, tWO
killed an 1 eleven wounded,'' Comment
is needless. The whole army had
better surrender at once, for it will
eventually come to it.

to be taking on troops from Ft Donelson,

Analysis. An accurate Analysis of the Oporto Grape has teea made by Chj. T. Jachhi vr n " e w
Assayer for Massachusetts, who aso made the Ana'ysis i f Grapes for the U. S. Patent OJloo, for 13 jv r.
mil was as follows : ' .
0 76 103 ounces of Juice to the pound of Grapes.
. .1063 specific grarity of the Juice.
15 per cent Grape Su?ar hy the Sachrometrlcal Tables.
10 8-10 per cent Ly the Copper Grape Sugar Test.
2 per ceut of Tartaric Acid.
The G rares sent for Analysis were picked early In the season, and would have ai ven a Urier i.f

The Psxudo Delegate. A gentle
man who supported J. Sterling Morton
for Delegate to Congress and who has
just returned from Washington City says,
'Morton is a dead cock in the pit," with
out influence or respect. His only as
sociate, of any prominence in Washing
ington is C. L . Valandingham, a mem
ber from : Ohio, whose loyalty ,: is more j .
than doubted.
It? was on Monday evening that the
first sign of panic was noticed at Man
assas.
A part of Stuart's real 'column was
preparing a train to move Southward
by railroad, when they learned some
excited .rebels had set fire to the bridge
ahead of them,. and they immediately
begaii to burn and destroy, and run
away in general confusion.
500 barrels , of flour,' piled up in
ranks, had their heads stove in bar
rels of molasses suffered the same
way; 160 barrels or. kegs of powder
were left, which they did not know
how to destroy in safety tq themselves.
, It seems to be confirmed that the
enemy had two weeks since between
50,000 and 60,000 troops at Center
ville and Manassas, and that they on
ly began their retreat last Friday.
wny tney went is a mystery, as that
number of men in their fortifications
would have been equal to three times
the force assailing them.
They must have feared to trust their
men, whose enlistments were expiring,
or their powder, which many accounts
agree is of very interior quality.
The strangest news brought by the
limes correspondent is that General
Jackson and one halfr.of his army,
whom General Banks yesterday sup
pesed he was closely watching in Win
chester, went down the railroad to
Manassas one week ago, and quietly
marched off southward. The ofhe
half are said to, be moving southward
in the valley of the Shenandoah.
Winchester, March 12.
This place is at length recovered
for the Union- The march of our for
ces to Berry ville, and 'the'reconnois-
sance in this vicinity succeeded in
misleading the enemy j so that they
did not know where to expect an at
attack. "
Yesterday '1 afternoon they com
menced evacuating the place. Gen
eral Hamilton in the meantime ad
vanced from Bunker Hill, the Michi
gan cavalry leading ; 1,200 of the
enemy's cavalry gave battle, supported
by a section of artillery. ' This was
about o o clock yesterday afternoon.

Tire morning break, and pierce the shade."
