He will also exhibit some of the articles he brought from the battle field, and answer ill questions the people may u-k but be can not possibly Bpend the time to do this for ev ery man singly. He wants a few more good men. Now is the time to do good and win fame, and all who wish to take part in the stirring scenes down outh, should go with Captain tiregg, now. FROM OIK COMMUTER. We don't like to growl or find fault, but it does seem to us that our committee liavo had bad luck in getting information about our sol diers who were nt the battle at Ihmelson. The Duvenpirt committee left on Wednes day evening, the l'Jth, nnd on Friday, the 21st, they telegraphed the names of the kill ed and wounded. Our conmiiUco left on Tuesday, the 18th, and not a word was heard from them till Monday, the 2-1 th, and that was not very satisfactory. Tho unxicty of all our peoplo to bear from their friends was intense, but only ono unsatisfactory telegram, six days after they left, and a Jotter from Mr. Steel to his partner, John Harper, received last evening, is all we get. We make the following extracts, viz : Paris, 111., Feb. 20. Dear John : We arrived hero this morning after a long and tedious journey. Up to tho present time we have been unable to get a pass. Here we met Dr. Urcgg, jut in from Fort Henry. They wero in the fight at Fort Donelson, and his first sergeat, Couroy, was killed, and some three others wounded all single men. We are informed that Capt. Hawlcy'scom pany lost do men. Capt. II. was not iu the fight, being unwell of rheumatism. The command devolved on Lieut. Seymour. Robert Koehler commanded Co. D, 12th regiment, but we arc unable to say if any were lost from this company. We cannot hear from Capt. Tobien. We have not yet been up to Mound City, but will endeavor to get up there to see the wounded in the hospital, and see if any of our men are there. We will persist in our efforts to reach the battle field, and will bring home what dead we may fiud from our coun ty. Yours, &c, Ai.kx. Steel. Mr. Swiler adds tho following : "Tell John Webster that Dr. Orege saw Reid since the buttle, aud lie is safe, t Wll8 hit on the arm with a spent ball, but not in jured." - -. . Letters from Auius Kendall. The venerable Amos Kendall has commenc ed to write a series of letters to the president upon the present state of our country. The time is propitious for such letters as Mr. Ken dall will be likely to write, and his high character as a patriot and a writer will be likely to secure for them, not only from Mr. Lincoln, but from the whole country, a fa vorable consideration. Believing their circu lation will be productive of much good, at the present time, we shall try and find space for them in our columns, as fast as they ap pear. The Boston Pest says that Kx Secretary Cameron's son has been deeply concerned not only in horse and beef contracts, but in a great variety of other operations by which be has already realized a fortune much larger than that which the brother-in-law of Secre tary Welles pocketed from his commissions for the purchase of old vessels. Some say that young Cameron has made more than a million of dollars I p9or the best Weekly Newipiper tubtcribe the for Bock Itland Aaet t. CAPT. CHEGG AT HOME. Capt. P. Gregg, one of the horocs of Fort Donelton, arrived borne last evening, lie came to St. Louis on regiment! business, and then got permission to visit home for tteo days, and will immediately return. He looKS one enu is in the very best spirits. He brought many trophiee with him. His regiment never stopped from the day It left Camp Dougla until it arrived on the battle field at Ponel son on Friday morning early, jutt as the nat tie was commencing. "i recount was m the fight as skirmish"" until Saturday, when bis company was under tiro from the rebel batteries. At the first fire 1'utrielt Con roy, his first corporal, was killed by grape shot struck on tho head and his brains scat tered in every direction. His body was care fully buried, under Capt Gregg's directions, and the locality marked. If our committee get on the ground they will bring it borne, if not the captain will tee to it when he re turns. Also the following wounded : John Cahill severely wounded by grape shot, in the leg, bono injured hope of re covery. Thomas Crane, severe flesh wound in leg, from grape-shot, recovery certain. Cahill and Crane are in the hospital at Mound City, doing well, Alphcue Curtis, missing, probably living, and will probably rejoin his regiment. Several of his men got bullets through their clothes, but this covers all casualties in his company. His men stood brave as lions, and though they were raw recruits, not a man of tliein flinched. LaMt week wo published a little item from the reported proceedings of the constitution al convention in relation to the presentation of a petition from Uenj. J. Wright, Esq., of this county, us follows : " Mr. Pleasants. Mr. President : I have the petition of Bcni. J. Wright, a1 cititen of Kock Island County, desiring tho convention to make the constitution clear and perspicu ous. He seems to be apprehensive thut the simple-minded meu of these times may err with reference to such vexed questions as "state sovereignty" and " allegiance," and prays that these questions muy be solved by way ofamendmentsof the constitution by this convention. I ask that without reading, it be refer rod to the committee nu miscellane ous subjects." Yesterday Mr. Wright banded us tho fol lowing letter from Mr. Pleasants : Si-RiNoriEi.ii, Ills., Feb. I t, lb2. 15. G. Wriuiit, Esq. Dear Kir: I receiV' ed your letter and accompany petition ve I terduy morning, and promptly preni'iitid the latter to the convention, having it referred to the standing committee on "federal rela tions." 1 ulsu semi you a copy of the Journ al of this morning, containing report of the fact, marked, and write this for the sole pur pose of assuring you that ns to the remarks accompanying the presentation, as in every thing 1 have said on this floor, the report ers have misrepresented me. I did not say that you desired the convention to make the constiiiitioii clear and perspicuous in general, but merely as to the subject discussed in the petition. I said that you seemed to he appre hensive that in these times of trouble, simple minded men might bo involved in difficulty on account i their honest belief in reference to those questions, and therefore nkcd to have them solved and settled. Somehow or other, because my voice is not loud, my position un favorable and the confusion and noise of the morning hour great, or else because the re porters urn not competent, they have in every report of me, however brief, put words into my mouth that 1 never used, suppressed those I did, or so transposed anil mixed them as to do me great injustice. Of this 1 com plained once publicly, but it did no good, and I have never find a word in private, by way of correction, revision or otherwise, to eithur of them. I considered it dun to you tonrnke this ex planation, bocausH the report makes me ap pear to have treated the mutter with some thing like leviety, which is wholly untrue. Respectfully yours, Geo. W. Pleasants. We have also rend Mr. Wright's petition, which is devoted to a discussion of the differ ent theories held to by Jefferson and the old republican or democratic party, on the one band, and by Hamilton and the old federal party on the other band, in regard to where the allegiance of tho citizen is due. Mr. Wright petitioned the convention to decide between these theories and clearly define it, in the now constitution. A reconnoisance towards Columbus was made from Cairo on Sunday. Whou our bout was within sight of thut place a rebel steamer bearing n Hag of truce came out to meet our boat. The rebel officers came on board and a consultation was held, but the result is not known. It is believed that we shall have ex. citing news from there very soon. We have nothing more definite iu regard to our aggregate loss in killed und wounded at Fort Donelson. Some person from Dunelsoti, who made careful inquiries of the adjutants nf regiments, estimate our loss, including the two hundred prisoners sent to Nashville, nt not less than 2,000. The killed already count up over 300, and the list will probably exceed 400 when all the reports are in. Wno shot Coi,. Logan f The officers of the 2d Kentucky (rebel) regiment, according to the Missouri Democrat, say that the indi vidual who shot Col. John A. Logan, was a boy of that regiment, aged 10 or 17 years. He fired at him three or four times. Colonel Hanson, of the Kentucky regiment, says they had Col. Logan, but thought him dead, and left him on the field. (iov. Sprague Renominated. Providence, R.

We are permitted, by Mrs. Coukliu, to niuae tuctuUowiagextrncts from a letter she received on Saturday evening, from her hus band, Capt.

Two con panics of sharp shouters were sent to recount and find the portion of the enemy Tl , 'v soon silenced one battery, and picked off number of men ; theattack soon became gen eral. iNo hara ntrntiUB was drm however, and but few were killed or wound ed. On Friday the battle still continued Saturday morning the enemy made an ad vance on the right wing. Some ten regiments were engaged, and for several hours the fight raged terribly. On .both sides great bravery was displayed. Though many fell, yet others stepped in to fill their places. The enemy finally gave way, and were driven inside of their fortifications. At three o'clock an ad vance was made on our side, by the Iowa 2d makin? an attack nnnn th oi.pmn'. V....... works. If fighting is grand, or bravery n.ih nf i, raise, then tho Iuw2d has merit- ed a name that history should extol. Against great numbers and fearful odds, not only from infatitry.but from cannon also, they marched .... t . . . up the hill over the breastworks, and planted the American colon on the enemy's furtiga tion. Nobly they sustained it they sealed it with the death of many a poor soldier. It was here that fjoor Capt. Slaymaker full ; but he has died in a noble cause, and vet so young and so boloved by tlnse who knew him, his death has cast quite a gloom among his comrades, it inadu me feel sad to see him thus early in life struck down. 1 here is a grandeur m a battle one cauiioi expross, and yet from the very bottom of bis henrt lie can toel. i hewtnx in tne musaei bull, the loud screech of shell, aud the dull, heavy sound of tho cannon ball and grape, make one fully realize hi dangerous posi tion, and yet drives ull fear troin his mind, and whon ho feel that there is danger, and that his life i so very insecure, yet comet the noble thought, "my country 1" " vm, my glorious country must be saved." 1 he I almet to tree, the vile serpent, and the ignominious bar of the rebel flag shall never wave over the freedumduvini; states of our glorious land. The American Hag was unfurlej.it was plant ed upon their uwii fortifications, and proudly it waved over them, and struck terror to their hearts. Hut where was our regiment, you will ask, all this time? V e also were engaged in the great struggle, doing our duty, 1 trust, and claiming somo shuro of the honor won by our Illinois regiments. J he sharpshooter woro a great deal in requisition in picking off the artillcrvists, m faat as they appeared at the guns, and in annoying thu cannons. We have reason to bo proud of Illinois as a state ; she has won great honor in the la"t great victo ries."

You have carried the Hug of the union further south than any other land force marching from the interior towards tho xcahoard '. Being the first division to outer Fort lieu ry, you also pursued the enemy for miles, capturing from him iu hi flight six field pieces, many of hi standards tand flags, a number of prisoners and a great quantity of military stores. Following the enemy to this place, you were the first to encounter him outside of his entrenchments and to drive hi in within them. Pursuing your advantage, the next duy.be-in-' on the riubt. vou advanced upon bis lines, in the face of hi works und batteries, uud for the time silenced them. The next day, skirmishing all along his left, vou daringly charged upon hi redouts, under a deadly lire of grape and canister, and were only prevented tnun taking them by natural obstacles und the accumulated mass es which were hurried forward to defend them. I he next day Vou extended vur right in the face of newly erected batteries quite to tho Cumberland, thus investing hi works for nearly two miles. The next day, after standing under arms for two days and nights, amid driving storms of snow nii'l rain, and pinched by hunger, tho enemy advanced iu force to open the way to his escape, uy his own cotitession, lormea in ! a column of teu successive regiments, he concentrated his attack upon a single point. You repulsed him repeatedly from 7 u clock to 11 o'clock a. m., often driving back his formidable odds. Thus, alter three days' fighting, when your aiiiiiiuiiition was exhausted, you fell back un til it came up, and re formed a second line in bis face. Supported by fresh troops, under the lead of a brave and able officer, the enemy was again driven back, aud by a combined advanco from all sides, was again defeated. His un conditional surrender the next day completed the victory. Undiverted by any uttatk for near four hours from any other part of our lines, the euemy was left to concentrate, his attack with superior numbers upon yours. Thus while you were engaged for a longer timo than any other of our forces, you were subject to much greater loss. The battle field testifies to your valor and constancy. Kveu the magiiutiitnity of the enemy accords to you an unsurpassed hero ism, nnd nn enviable and brilliant share in the hardest fought battle ami most desisive vic tory ever tought und won on tho American comment.

LETTEK No. 1. To Abraham Lincoln, PrtAJtitt of the Uniltd Stales : Kespkcteb Sir : I do not address you for the purpose of censure or advice. From boyhood to old age I have belonged to the democratic party of the country. My political creed, in common with that of my party throughout the north, has been and now is devoted to the constitution as it came from the hands of Washington and hit compatriots, uud to the rights of the states re served by them on the adoption of that instru ment. We look upon the structure composed of the states nnd the union as our tcinplc.of liberty, of which the states are the pillars and the union the roof. Remove the pillars and the roof w ill fall ; remove the roof and the pillars will be overthrown by the storms of anarchy and war, aud our cou.i try will be strewed with ruins more melancholy than those which lie prostrate or stand shattered on the sites of ancient cities. Kmhless hands have seized upon and are at tempting to remove a portion of the pillars of our temple, at the hazard of crushing themselves and us in its fall, and in the insane hope of build ing a new temple for themselves out of the ruins. Though the democratic party of the north werenlwavs willing to make ull reasonable or even tolerable concessions to satisfy their allies in the somb, )ct, us a bodv, no party is more de voted to the constitution and the union.

The object of this party in the pending war is to preserve the union and the constitution as it is. It is the constitution, and lml onti, which mukes us i lustion; destroy it, ami the na tion will cense to eiist, being ditulved into thirty four independent stales. In lighting for the com Stilulion, therutore, we fight for the life of the na tion. for ull thut can give us peace ami security at home, mid all that t an make us honored and rui-fiected abroad. Thu fundamental principle of our government, thut principle which hat enabled the republic to extend itself from the Alantic to the Pacific, and endowed it with a capacity to embrace continent and climes within its dominion, iatlntt everything which relates exclusively or mainly to local affairs thall bu left to be regulated by local governments, while the powui of the general government thall be nnly tm li as are required to promote tho peace, happiness uud prosperity of the people, whatever may be their peculiar custom , laws or domestic iuitituliomi. An attack upon this principle it an assault urioii the constitution ; it is iindcriiiiudiiig the foundations of the republic ; it is divesting it of thut attribute, almost divine, which, like the government of heaven, protects alike error and truth, allowing man to work out his own happiness iu pcuce by the free exercise ol his own powers. Iiut we have a class of men among us who aro not content with such a uorernmeiit. They aro not content with the privilege nf shaping the laws and institutions ol the states in,which they live, according to their own sense of right and expedience; but wish to compel other men and other communities, over whose local affair they have no rightlnl control, to adopt their na tions, and, utterly rcgurdless of essential differ ences in circuiust.iuces, remodel all local institu tion by their Procrustean standard. And bv a concerted effort these men are attempting to di vert the military power of the country Irom it legitimate object, thu preservation of the consti tution in its iiitevritv, and direct it to the subver sion of the fundamental principle on which it is liasecl. rnich a scheme in virtually a conspiracy upiinst the constitution and the union in the north, giving efl'. ctive uid to the rebellion iu the south. 1 1 would present the loyal states of other nations, not, as at present, defending aneitublish el goverhmeiit i;uint wanton rebellion, hut as iJteiHxtlt'i'it rittrl aytiitut the tvrt ijtHirmnfHt ih'ifl lrifrUi be ili fmtitii'j. It would t-ast the north also on the stormy oceuu of revolution, not fight ing for any existing government, but for such u one us muy rise out of the waves it may be iiiiiiiv wiirring slates and confederacies, or a mili tary despotism based on coliquc-t, and swallow ing up tin- whole. In another letter I shall endeavor more fully to expose the ihuiL'ers and follv of ull such schemes.
