FORT MONROE, Feb. 16.
By a flag of truce to-day, we learn that Fort Donelson surrendered to General Grant yesterday. Generals Pillow, Floyd, Johnston [sic] and Buckner were taken, with fifteen thousand other prisoners.
We are also informed that fighting has been going on near Savannah, and that the city has probably been captured.
