Colonel Lyons.
Fort Donelson, June 2, 1863.—Weather cool and cloudy. River is rising a little. H and G returned today. Found no enemy. We have a rumor that Woodward, with 1,500 men and four pieces of artillery, is on Yellow Creek, thirty miles from here.
The fort progresses finely. We have all four of those 32-pounders in position now. The brigade band is about organized and we shall have lots of music soon, I suppose.
