TELEGRAPH OFFICE, CHICAGO, Feb. 17.
The following message was received from the Governor this evening:
PULASKI, Ill., Feb. 17.
I am on my way, with Auditor Dubois, Sen. Hatch, and Gen. Wood, to Fort Donelson. Many sad hearts, but a glorious victory. People by the thousands on the road and at the stations, with shoutings and with flags. Thank God that our Union is safe, now and forever.
Send surgeons, friends, and clothing, for the wounded.
Signed,
R. YATES, Governor.
