, in New York, on the 20th, at 222 1-4--an advance. From Tennessee. General Thomas's latest official dispatch is dated "Near Spring Hill, December 19th." He sate defeat before. Nashville was caused by the superior numbers of the enemy. Thomas had been largely reinforced. The Tribune says: The result of Hood's leagal undertakings. We cannot doubt that General Sherman, when he parted from General Thomas, directed him to lure Hood's army so far north, and keep it across the Tennally, to that of its defenders, and those defenders commanded by a veteran like Thomas, has had no parallel since Lee, with less than 50,000 men, held McClellan's 200nnessee, Hood might safely have passed Nashville and invaded Kentucky; but with Thomas in command, he could, prudently, do nothing but get out of the neighborhood at as doubtless on the point of doing, if the movement had not already begun, when Thomas decided to force a battle, and thereupon made the movement whose result now ele

Captured. --Twenty odd Yankees, captured by some of Colonel Thomas's men in the Smoky mountain, were brought here this week. Among them are two majors, six captains and twelve lieutenants.

, nothing in them which ought to cause a feeling of despondency. The news of a calamity always throws our people into a shadow of gloom. But it does not last long. A night's sleep is generally sufficient to restore all but the incorrigibly weak-kneed to the proper tone. We look upon these reverses only as so many trials — only as so many obstacles in the road to a speedy peace — only as so many means of protracting this struggle, which is finally to end in our independence. From General Thomas's own report, we do not perceive that Hood has been so badly defeated as he would have us believe. The number of prisoners does not indicate the ruin of the army. But, allowing even that army to be ruined, our cause is far from desperate even then. Allowing Savannah, and Charleston, and Mobile, and even Richmond, to be captured, still the war is not over.--The necessity of defending these towns, indeed, has been a great drag upon the operations of our army throughout the war.
