ding Department of Kansas, at Fort Leavenworth: To you, more than any other man out of this department, are we indebted for our success at Fort Donelson. In my strait for troops to reenforce Gen.

country, and are commended to the consideration of Congress. The disparity of the forces engaged did not justify the anticipation of so great a victory, and it is doubly gratifying that it has been won upon an element where we were supposed to be least able to compete with our enemy. Special attention is called to the perfidious conduct of the enemy in hoisting, on the frigate Congress, a white flag, and renewing fire from that vessel under the impunity thus obtained. Jefferson Davis. March 11, 1862. C. S. Steam-battery Virginia, off Sewall's Point, March 8, 1862. Flag-officer: In consequence of the wound of Flag-Officer Buchanan, it becomes my duty to report that the Virginia left the yard this morning, at eleven A.

Doc. 83.-occupation of Cockpit Point, Va. New-York Herald account. United States steamer Stepping Stones, Mattawoman Creek, Potomac River, March 11, 1862. on Sunday, at noon, Lieut. Commanding Badger, of the Anacostia, observing the absence of the usual sentries at Cockpit Point, and the familiar sights incident thereto, concluded that the rebels had evacuated. Acting on this supposition, Capt. Badger ran alongside the Yankee and inquired of Commodore Wyman what he should do. The Commodore told him to take the Piedmontesa and reconnoitre. He did so, and the result was he was satisfied that the rebels had really left. Capt. Badger then went back to the Yankee and reported to this effect, and asked permission to test the matter by shelling the battery, when the Commodore gave him permission to do so at long range — not without reason — apprehending some diabolical trick. This was done. Shell after shell was thrown into the Point. Soldiers of General Hooker's division,

Doc. 85.-evacuation of Manassas, Va. March 11, 1862. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following account of his exploration of the rebel camps at Centreville and Manassas: The fortifications at Centreville look, at a distance, formidable, extending from a point half a mile north of the town, away off to the south as far as the eye can reach. We rode up to them and found them merely dirt-trenches and sandforts. They have been evidently laid out by an engineer who understands his business, but have been constructed by men who merely wanted to put in the time. There has never been a single heavy gun mounted in them. Embrasures have been made and logs of wood run out in all of them. All were so arranged, however, that field artillery could be used in them. The floors on which they could have stood were hemlock boards, one inch thick, and would not have lasted through a single discharge, but would have let the guns down into the sand. Some of those o
