ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19. – Gen. Halleck received dispatches from Donelson, stating that one thousand more rebel prisoners had been taken. They came down the river to reinforce the Fort, not knowing it had surrendered, and were bagged by our troops.
Prof. Swallow, State Geologist, was arrested last night, and was committed to the military prison on charge of disloyalty.
The names of the rebel officers captured at Warsaw on Saturday last, were incorrectly reported. They are Brig. Price, Col. Dorsey, Col. Cross and Capt. Ingeall of Major Prices Staff.
