Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.
Fort Donelson, March 31, 1863.—There is a house over in Dover with 650 bullet holes in it, and one corner of the cornice, or corner of the house roof, was taken off entirely by a shell at the time of the fight. The rebels got into that house and shot from it. The 83d did not like this and ordered them to surrender. They held out for some time, but at last surrendered. Captain Morril (afterward Governor of Kansas) lives in this house now.
