cording to their own statements, a loss of fifty-five thousand. Here, to the great regret of the whole country, and of none so much as the army he commanded, he was relieved by General Hood. This General, after fighting a bloody and indecisive action, was eventually defeated by Sherman at Jonesboro', and fell back in the direction of Macon Subsequently, he got in the rear of Sherman and marched into Tennessee, where, after a hard-won victory at Franklin, he was defeated before Nashville by Thomas. We have the results of that defeat only from the Yankees. We shall, therefore, not state them here. In the meantime, Sherman, finding himself unopposed, marched, almost without resistance, through Georgia and took Savannah. The march of Price and defeat of the great Yankee armada at Wilmington were the last exploits of the year which we shall notice. This summary is, no doubt, very inaccurate; but the events are of such a late date that every man's memory will enable him to correct

Tennessee river without Molestation. The Tribune thus sums up the news from Thomas's "pursuit" of Hood: The pursuit of Hood is continued by General Thomas wGeneral Thomas with characteristic caution. dispatches from his headquarters at Pulaski, seventy miles south of Nashville, are to the 26th, Monday last. As the decisive battles in front of Nashville were fought on the 15th and 16th, General Thomas's subsequent advance has not been very rapid, for which, without doubt, he has good reasons. Its out of harm's way as best they could. The last dispatch from General Wilson, Thomas's chief of cavalry, reports that the people say the rebels are suffering immenspprehended flank and rear movement. It appears further that such a movement on Thomas's part was in progress. While Wilson has pressed the rear guard of Hood, an infantry force, under Steadman, Thomas tells us, disembarked his troops from the cars at Limestone creek, seven miles from Decatur, and was marching on the latter place

g in coal and ammunition preparatory to renewing the fight to-morrow. It is the intention of Admiral Porter to bombard the works until something definite and satisfactory shall be accomplished. Miscellaneous. Admiral Lee telegraphs (from Florence on the 27th) to the Navy Department that he stopped Hood's crossing the river below Muscle shoals, but Hood had a bridge higher up, where he could not get at him, and was crossing. Supplies had reached Chickasaw, on the Tennessee, for General Thomas's army, and the railroad to Corinth was in our possession, so that Hood cannot get supplies by that route. Burbridge, in his official report of his raid, says: "The expedition was entirely successful, and will be more felt by the enemy than the loss of Richmond. The salt works and lead mines are in ruins, and cannot be replaced." The steamer North American was lost off the Florida coast on the 21st, and one hundred and ninety-four sick and furloughed Yankee soldiers were drown

occurred on the lines in front of Richmond and Petersburg. Winter is upon the armies, and active operations for the present are out of the question. There was a report, which obtained extensive circulation on yesterday, that Hood had turned on Thomas and beaten him, killing three thousand of his men and taking six thousand prisoners. This is a thorough Sunday rumor, which, that it might have a good run, was started early on Saturday evening. If there had been any battle out there in Tennesseee-bodied males from seventeen to fifty years of age; and when he retreated the Yankees seized all they could find between these ages to swell their list of prisoners, and they were included in the nine thousand prisoners claimed by the Yankee General Thomas. The Southern raids. The Yankee raids in different portions of the South--in Louisiana, Alabama and North Mississippi--have proved entirely barren of result. A gentleman, just arrived in Richmond from Corinth, says that the Yankees w
