" I have not seen a copy of the mes- sage ... .... . If the purposes and proceedings of that convention are correctly repre- sented by you, I condemn its action in unqualified terms. Self-constituted, as it was, and without authority from the peo- ple, it cannot be justified by similar revo- lutionary acts, in other states, by minori- ties to overthrow the state governments .. I condemned their action and I condemn the action of this one. My position is and has been and will continue to be, to abide by the will of the majority of the people

at Feliciana, Graves co., captured by Gen. C. F. Smith.

Jan. 19-Battle of Mill Springs, or Lo- gan's cross-roads, in Pulaski county. Maj. Gen. Geo. B. Crittenden, with the 15th Mississippi, 16th Alabama, 17th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 28th, and 29th Tennessee regi- ments, and a battery of six guns-about 4,000 Confederate troops-leaves his in- trenched camp at Beech Grove, on the north bank of the Cumberland river, at 12 o'clock on Saturday night, to attack the approaching Federals. At 6 A. M. on Sun- day, still dark and raining, his advance reaches Logan's cross-roads, 10 miles from his camp, and is fired upon by the pickets of the U. S. forces under Maj. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas. In half an hour the battle was raging furiously, with the 4th Ky. in- fantry under Col. Speed Smith Fry, part of the Ist Ky. cavalry under Col. Franklin S. Wolford, 9th Ohio, 10th Indiana, and 10th Minnesota, about 4,000 in number. For 312 hours the field was hotly contested- " by a most determined and galling fire," part of the time-and the result doubtful. The death, by a pistol shot from Col. Fry, of Brig. Gen. Felix K. Zollicoffer, the second in command, terribly discouraged the Con- federates. The Federals being reinforced by the 12th Ky. under Col. Wm. A. Hos- kins, and the 1st and 2d Tennessee-about 2,500 fresh troops-outflanked the Con- federates, poured in a deadly fire, and forced them to fall back ; and the 9th Ohio, by a bold charge with fixed bayonets broke their ranks, when they retreated in confu- sion to their camp, closely pursued. Fur- ther reinforcements-10th Ky. under Col. John M. Harlan, 14th, 17th, 31st, 35th and 38th Ohio, and 3 batteries-coming up, the entire Federal force, now increased to over 12,000 troops, advanced (unresisted, except by a small party of cavalry for a few minutes) upon the Confederate in- trenchments. "By 5 P. M," says Gen. Thomas' report, " the camp was closely invested, and during the night the troops were disposed, for an assault of the works at daylight on the 20th. Meanwhile, two batteries cannonaded the intrenchments until dark, and two other batteries were directed to fire on their ferry to prevent the Confederates from attempting to cross. The latter, with six guns, returned the fire ; thus deceiving the enemy, while, upon a steamboat and three barges, they crossed their entire force, and burning the boats, took up the line of retreat to Monti- cello." The "assault at daylight" dis- covered an abandoned camp, containing 8 six-pounders and 2 Parrot guns, between 500 and 1,000 " old flint-lock muskets," 160 four-horse wagons, 1,200 horses and mules, and a large amount of ammunition and commissary stores-a most serious loss to the Confederates at that stage of the war.

Jan. 20-Samuel L. Casey elected rep- resentative in the U. S. congress from the Ist district, over Lawrence S. Trimble (both Union)-to fill the vacancy occasioned by

the expulsion of Henry C. Burnett for dis- loyalty (now in the Confederate States senate.)

Feb. 1-Skirmish near Bowling Green. Feb. 5-The following resolution passes the U. S. senate, by 32 to 14 (Garret Davis voting for, and L. W. Powell against it):

" Whereas Hon. Jesse D. Bright, sen- ator from Indiana, heretofore, on the 1st day of March, 1861, wrote a letter, of which the following is a copy :

WASHINGTON, March 1, 1861.

MY DEAR SIR : Allow me to introduce to your acquaintance my friend Thomas B. Lincoln, of Texas. He visits your capital mainly to dispose of what he re- gards a great improvement in fire-arms. I recommend him to your favorable consid- eration as a gentleman of the first respect- ability, and reliable in every respect.

Very truly, yours, JESSE D. BRIGHT.

To His Excellency, JEFFERSON DAVIS,

President of the Confederation of States.

" And whereas we believe the said letter is evidence of disloyalty to the United States, and is calculated to give aid and comfort to the public enemies : therefore,

" Be it resolved, That the said Jesse D. Bright is expelled from his seat in the senate of the United States."

On the 13th of January preceding, the senate committee on the judiciary, in ref- erence to this resolution, reported "that the facts charged against Mr. Bright were not sufficient to warrant his expulsion from the senate, and they therefore recom- mend that the resolution do not pass." [Mr. Bright removed, not long after, to Carrollton, Ky .; and represented Carroll and Gallatin counties in the Ky. legisla- ture from 1867 to 1871, when he declined a re-election. He is now (1874) a citizen of Covington.]

Johnson [now provisional governor of Ky.]-thereby sustaining as constitutional the first section of the "stay law," which prevents the rendition of judgments for money until after Jan. 1, 1862.

Feb. 12-Legislature meets in adjourned session .. ... 21-Authorizes trustees of Transylvania university, in consideration of $50,000 additional endowment, to assent to or make such radical changes as would result in blotting out or merging its exist- ence and identity ......... 26-By 68 to 8 in the house, and 21 to 0 in the senate, "ad- dresses " Wm.

Feb. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16-Battle of Fort Donelson, Tennessee, on the southwest bank of the Cumberland river, a few miles from the Ky. state line. The Confederate troops, 28 regiments of infantry (not half full) and 3 battalions of cavalry, (eonsid- erably less than 13,000 in all, ) commanded by Gens. John B. Floyd, Gideon J. Pillow, and Simon B. Buckner, for four days and nights maintain themselves against more than three times the number of Federal troops under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, (41 regiments of infantry, 4 of cavalry, and 10 batteries of artillery ), and 6 gun-boats, of which 4 were iron-elad. The fighting, part of the time, and especially on the 15th, was terribly severe, and the carnage dreadful. On the 14th, the gun-boats were driven off, two disabled and all more or less erippled. On the 16th, Gen. Buckner proposed an armistice until 12 x., and the appointment of commissioners to agree upon terms of capitulation ; but Gen. Grant refused any terms "except unconditional, immediate surrender "-which Gen. Buck- ner was compelled to accept. Confederate loss 231 killed, 1,007 wounded, and (in- cluding the wounded) 5,079 prisoners- Gens. Pillow and Floyd, with their bri- gades, having made their escape, upon two or three small steamboats, during the night previous. Federal loss 331 killed, 1,046 wounded, and 200 missing (taken prisoners on the 15th); this was the smallest number reported; other accounts make the loss much greater. The weather was remarkably severe, part of the time 10° above zero, with hail, snow and sleet. The wounded lay on the ground exposed to this weather-no truce being allowed so as to care for them. Two Ky. regiments |

engaged on each side : On the Confeder- ate, Col. Roger W. Hanson's 2d Ky. (killed 13, wounded 59, missing 47 who were supposed to have escaped to Nash- ville during the night of the 15th) and Col. H. B. Lyon's 8th Ky .; and on the Federal, Col. John H. McHenry's 17th Ky. and Col. Jas. M. Shackleford's 25th Ky.

Payne, saw mill of D. B. Campbell, Washington hotel, and a number of stores and warehouses filled with shoes, blankets, medicines, flour, pork, beef, and other supplies ; total loss of property estimated at $750,000. Tho iron railroad bridge still stood after the mines in the towers of the piers had been exploded, and 13 rounds of cannon were fired at it before its destruction was com- plete.

The Federal troops now pressing south- ward, in 4 grand divisions, under the com- mand of Gens. Alex. McD. McCook, Geo. H. Thomas, Ormsby M. Mitchel, and Thos. L. Crittenden, are composed of 102 regiments of infantry, 10 of cavalry, and 21 batteries of artillery-total 114,000 men and 126 pieces of artillery-the whole commanded by Gen. Don Carlos Buell.

Feb. 15-The senate, yeas 23, nays 0, expels Wm. T. Anthony, senator from Allen co., because "actively engaged in the rebellion," and Dr. John M. Johnson, senator from McCracken co., because he now " holds position in the rebel army."
