Colonel Lyons.
Fort Donelson, June 11th, 1863.—It has rained considerably lately. The river is rising. There are five boats here tonight. They go up the river tomorrow morning. I send a guard of three companies under command of Captain Randall with them to Clarksville. They will escort back the Paymaster, who is there. I send the Nevada to bring them down. We shall be glad to see the Paymaster.
