CAIRO, Feb. 19.
The Chicago committee and surgeons have been assigned some to Paducah and some to Mound City. There is no great necessity for nurses, as many being now here as can profitably be employed.
Another consignment of rebels will reach here to-night or to-morrow.
Nothing new from Ft. Donelson.
The Michigan 3d Cavalry arrived her to-night from St. Louis.
From recent investigations we are enabled to state that the whole number of killed on the part of the Federals at the recent battle of Fort Donelson, is about 300. The killed, wounded, prisoners and missing will reach 1,000. This is reliable.
