at least. Had General Hood been so badly beaten on the 15th of December as to compel a retreat so rapid and disorderly that it entailed a loss of ten thousand prisoners, in addition to the killed and wounded, it is impossible that he should have been, on the 19th, only twenty-two miles from the field of battle. His army would, by that time, either have been many miles farther off or it would have been entirely dispersed, especially when we take into consideration the Yankee statement that Thomas lost only three thousand men in the battle itself, and that Hood lost double that number, besides eight hundred prisoners; that the immense subsequent captures were a consequence of the total rout sustained by Hood, and that his white force previously to the action was but thirty-five thousand. Still farther it impossible that an army thus badly ruled, and losing thus enormously, should have been able to hold together tenaciously as to be found, at the end of one week from the destructive

d, at the end of one week from the destructive battle, only forty-one miles from the field, while the army was not nearer than fifteen miles in the rear. From the same Yankee papers we are hearing every day of preparations made to prevent this routed and disorganized army from crossing the Tennessee, thereby assigning to it a which most assuredly it would not possess had it ever suffered as severely as the Yankees pretend it has.--The annihilation of Hood, indeed, seems to resemble that of Early last fall. It is quite consistent with his still continuing to hold his ground and to present and defiant an attitude as ever. These facts we noticed some days ago, and we ventured to suggest at the time that when the truth came to be known, brought the report of General Hood himself, or from other trustworthy sources, would be found that the panic into which our people had been thrown by the Yankee reports was greatly disproportion to the actual facts of the case.

Corresponding so well as the intelligence in question does with our own preconceived views of the matter, we cannot but place a certain degree of reliance upon it. If, on the 20th of December, there was another battle, in which Hood obtained a signal victory and captured one whole Yankee brigade; and if, about the same time, Forrest captured another entire brigade, with a train of six hundred wagons, we can easily account for what would be altogether unaccountable upon the supposition that the Yankees told the truth — namely: the tardiness of their pursuit. It is absolutely impossible that an army which had routed another army, taken from it eight hundred prisoners on the field of battle and ten thousand more in the pursuit, should, at the end of ten days, find itself still fifteen miles from that routed and disorgani

Taking Aiken's as a point of departure, Columbia and Augusta might be joined by a railroad sixty miles long. At Branchville, on the Wilmington and Augusta line, the road deflects to the coast. A line from Kingsville to Augusta would be much safer. These roads completed, from Columbia there would be a choice of roads, either by Wilmington or by Charlotte and Danville, on the upper route. Higher up, Abbeville is in railroad connection with Columbia, and Athens (which is opposite to it, in Georgia,) is in connection with the Augusta and Atlanta railroad. The Sentinel says these points are not more than sixty-five miles apart. There is no possibility of exaggerating the importance of these connections.--The only question is with regard to the possibility of obtaining the material for the work. The Sentinel gets over this difficulty. Large portions of the railroads leading to Savannah are now useless to us. If left as they are, they will become useful to the enemy. It is surel
