The first Confederate account of the battle at Franklin, Tennessee, which has yet been published, appears in the Macon Telegraph, derived from an officer who left General Hood's army on the 1st instant: "It appears that the enemy, after being driven out of Columbia, evacuated Murfreesboro'; and, uniting all their forces, took up position on the high cliffs south of Franklin. General Hood pursued them closely in their retreat, and when they formed line of battle on a series of hills below Franklin, he flanked them out of their position. They then fell back to their fortifications on the edge of the town, where they formed a strong line of battle. Immediate dispositions were made to assault their works, which was done in front, chiefly by Cheatham's corps, with spirit and vigor, the various commanders leading their columns, the bands playing and the men huzzahing.

When the dinner was ready, the lady of the house was required to sit by the fireside while Kilpatrick, with three negro wenches, who were his traveling companions, took their dinners together, indulging, during the repast, in the most familiar and indecent conversation. "The day after, Kilpatrick dined at the house of another lady, of similar character; and when he had finished his dinner, turned his hireling escort loose upon the furniture and other contents of the house, destroying with their sabres the fine cutley, he had forced, to be filled with sand, as well as her jars of sweetmeats and preserves. Such was the conduct of General Kilpatrick. We can well understand what the lower officers and privates of such a General would do. At the plantation of Gene

As none of his negroes could be induced to go off with them, they stole a boy about twelve years old and carried him off, in spite of the tears and entreaties of the child and his mother. A widow lady, whose plantation joined General Cobb's, was found guilty of being the nearest neighbor of this notorious rebel, and she was made to suffer for it.--Though a defenceless widow, advanced in years and confined to her house by sickness, she was robbed of all that Yankee rapacity coul

"The day after, Kilpatrick dined at the house of another lady, of similar character; and when he had finished his dinner, turned his hireling escort loose upon the furniture and other contents of the house, destroying with their sabres the fine cutlery, glass and chinaware, etc., winding up the scene by ordering the corn-cribs and other out-buildings to be fired. A faithful servant put the flames out, when one of the Vandals threatened to shoot him; but at this moment the cry of 'Wheeler's men' caused the party to depart precipitately, and thus the buildings and contents were saved. "To leave nothing undone to complete the infamy of this Yankee general's conduct, he caused all the sugar of the lady, whose hospitality, he had forced, to be filled with sand, as well as her jars of sweetmeats and preserves.

In the room they occupied was a bureau, belonging to the lady of the house, containing a number of dresses and a set of furs. After remaining three days, General Williams left, and the lady going into her room and finding the bureau unlocked, congratulated herself that her personal apparel was, at least, unmolested. Upon opening the bureau, however, it was found to b

Amusements of the Yankee generals in Georgia. In the raid of Sherman through Georgia, all of the outrages were not perpetrated by privates and subordinate officers. In proportion to their number the officers of high rank were as guilty of as many acts of infamy as the scum comprising their commands: "In the county of Blpatrick.
