ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11.
A special dispatch to the Republican, from Syracuse, Missouri, dated the 10th, says, on Friday, February 7th, Mr. Anthony, formerly sutler in the Iowa Fifth regiment, when on his way from Boonville to Syracuse, Missouri, was met by a band of desperadoes, about five miles from Boonville, on the Syracuse road, and ordered to dismount. A refusal to comply was death. – He was then robbed of his money and papers, books, etc. Mr. Anthony had been at Boonville collecting during the paying off of the regiment and was on his return home.
A special to the Democrat from Cairo says that a Federal officer who came down from Fort Henry this morning, states that Fort Donelson is invested with land forces under Gen. Grant. The enemy’s force at the fort is estimated at 8,000 or 10,000. Look out for important news.
