CONFEDERATE.
Fort Donelson.—A triple row of earthworks, one behind and above the other, mounting in all 20 guns.
The gun-boats advanced in two divisions, line abreast, at 3 p.m., and opened fire at 600 yards, holding their position for an hour and a half, when they drifted out of action disabled, having only silenced the water-battery: 10 killed, 44 wounded. The steering-gear of the St. Louis and the Louisville was shot away, and the other vessels were forced out of action on account of shots between wind and water.
Earthworks on the James River,
May 15, 1862.
