ay finished, was souttied in forty feet water. We arrived in Florence at eight o'clock on Friday night, and found at the landing several companies of Alabama volunteers with a large lot of army stores. Everything was removed up town that night and place on a train and run to Tuseumbia. During the night the Sam. Kirkman and Time came in, having made their escape from the chase. At half-past 8 o'clock on Saturday morning a dispatch was received in Florence from General Johnston, at Bowling Green, commanding a span of the Florence bridge to be out, in order to let all boats escape. The boats that were then in Florence, and could have been saved by that measure, were the Dunher, Jullus Smith, Time and Sam. Kirkman. But, although the Florence bridge serves only as a connecting link between Florence and Tuscumbia, and, consequently, is of the most trifling value to the Southern Confederacy, that same bridge has been built up by Florence money, and is the pride of that city.

The grand struggle at Fort Donelson, The Telegraph for four days has brought as brief messages relating to a struggle at Fort Donelson between the Confederate forces there and the Federalists endeavoting to make their way up the Cumberland to get in the rear of our army at Bowling Green and cut off its communications with Nashville and the South. The enemy had the advantage of throwing large reinforcements to the point of combat by way of the Cumberland river from Smithland, Paducah, and Calro, and therefore has steadily outnumbered our forces.
