A box arrived here on Tuesday evening, from Fort Donelson, containing a number of trophies captured on that bloody field. They consist of a pleasant looking assortment of butchering instruments – knives, dirks, bayonets, &c., including one saber-bayonet. A number of cartridges and one shell were brought along. These playthings were examined yesterday by great numbers of people, at Todd’s store, where they were deposited, subject to the demands of their respective consignees.
