rn and Atlantic railroad he would fall back to this place and Blue mountain and winter his army. This might have been his anticipations when he left Middle Georgia, but so successful had he been up to the time he reached Oadsden, that the whole army and the people, with one accord, determined that our standards, should once more be unfurled over Murfreesboro' and Nashville. Nor need you be at all astonished to next of the Cumberland being crossed.--Forrest reads the head of the column and Cleburne covers the rear. General Hood enters upon this campaign at the head of the finest army ever marshaled this side of Virginia. It is larger in number, has better generals, and is in better spirits than was ever known before. It is, perhaps, somewhat deficient in shoes and blankets, but the men all believe that they are going to a land where an abundance of all these, and many things more, will be obtained. As to the position of the enemy, we know nothing, save that Kilpatrick fol

We have received New York papers of Monday last, the 5th instant. General Hood's movements in Tennessee--his army in sight of Nashville. The Herald publishes a long history of the battle of Franklin, which confirms what has before been published — that Schofield got a whipping and fell back eighteen miles to Nashville. The Yankees now claim to have captured only six hundred Confederates instead of one thousand, and do not say anything more about the death of General Cleburne being "confirmed." A telegram from Nashville, dated the 4th instant, says: No new developments have taken place to-day, except that our army still encircles the city on the southeast, its wings resting on the Cumberland river. The enemy's lines are clearly to be seen from high points in the suburbs and from the capitol. They are entrenching themselves in a southwestern direction, about three miles from the city. During the day, heavy skirmishing occurred on our left, and progressed along th

ederate account we have had of the battle of Franklin, on the 30th ultimo. His account confirms the opinion we had already arrived at from the Yankee newspaper statements, that General Hood achieved a great victory. He says the enemy's loss in killed and wounded was very heavy, being certainly not less than four thousand. We captured, and still hold, five thousand prisoners. Our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners was about thirty-five hundred. Among the killed on our side were Major-General Cleburne and Brigadier-General Govan, of Arkansas, and Brigadier-General Granberry, of Texas. General Hood proposed to Schofield to exchange prisoners, but the latter declined, alleging that he had sent off all the Confederates he had captured. The fact was, he was unwilling, by exchanging, to disclose how very small was the number of prisoners he had taken. It is worthy of remark that the Yankees, having lied about this battle steadily and persistently for a fortnight, now show so

lock P. M., November 30, we attacked the enemy at Franklin and drove them from their centre lines of temporary works into the inner lines, which they evacuated during the night, leaving their dead, and wounded in our possession, and retired to Nashville, closely pursued by our cavalry. "We captured several stands of colors and about one thousand prisoners. "Our troops fought with great gallantry. "We have to lament the less of many gallant officers and brave men. "Major-General Cleburne, Brigadier-Generals John Williams, Adams, Gist, Strahi and Granburg were killed; Major-General John Brown and Brigadier-Generals Carter, Manignauir, Quaries Cockerell and Scott were wounded. Brigadier-General Gordon was captured. "J. B. Hood, General." A subsequent telegram from General Hood says that our loss of officers was excessively large in proportion to the loss of men.

ifty-eight, including two at Murfreesboro' and three between Franklin and Spring Hill. It is supposed this is nearly all the artillery Hood had. A large force has been put to work to repair the Decatur railroad, and trains will soon follow the army. A gentleman who conversed with General Cheatham a few days before the battle around this city, gives the following information, gathered from that officer in conversation: The rebels lost six generals at Franklin — Strahl, Granbury, Cleburne, Gist, Adams, and another, whose name is not remembered. General W. A. Quarles had his arm shattered, General John C. Brown was wounded in the thigh, and five other generals were wounded, whose names are not recollected. General Cheatham's corps bore the brunt of the fight, as the provost marshal's roll of prisoners shows, and lost three thousand men; Stewart and Lee's corps lost two thousand, making the grand total of the rebel loss five thousand, by the acknowledgment of one of

General Cleburne. --A member of the staff of the lamented Major-General Cleburne, writing from Columbia, Tennessee, gives the following account of his burial: "I had his remains brought to this place and buried at Ashwood, six miles distant, the private graveyard of the Polk family. I met with great kindness from the people here in the performance of my sad duty. His coffin was strewn with flowers by the ladies."

their sharp notes with the deeper thunders of the artillery, was well calculated to inspire the heroism which impelled our army on to victory; major-generals, brigadiers and colonels rode in front of their commands, waving hats and urging on the troops.--Men fell wounded and dead — great rents were tore — but, with the steadiness of veterans, the gaps were filled by the living, and the column moved on. "The first line of breastworks was swept clean. Our loss had been great. The noble Cleburne fell, shot through the head with four balls, and died on the ramparts. Gist, previously wounded in the leg, had refused to leave the field, limping along on foot, cheering his men, finally received a ball through the breast, that took away his precious life; while Brown, Manigault, Johnson, Strahl, and scores of field and staff officers, who had exposed themselves at the head of their troops, were either killed or wounded.--Still our men faltered not. Dashing on, they reached the second li

which it repulsed after a hot engagement of two hours. Skirmishing was kept up on the 26th and 27th. At half-past 5 P. M., on the 27th, Howard's corps assailed Cleburne's division, and was driven back about dark with great slaughter. In these two actions our troops were not intrenched. Our loss in each was about four hundred aous cannonade of several hours, the enemy made a general advance, but was everywhere repulsed with heavy loss. The assaults were most vigorous on Cheatham's and Cleburne's divisions, of Hardee's corps, and French's and Featherstone's, of Loring's. Lieutenant-General Hardee reports that Cheatham's division lost, in killed, wounded and missing, one hundred and ninety-five. The enemy opposed to it, by the statement of a staff officer subsequently captured, two thousand; the loss of Cleburne's division, eleven; that of the enemy on his front, one thousand; and Major-General Leering reported two hundred and thirty-six of his corps killed, wounded and missing;

hundred negroes and whites were drowned in Cape Fear river in endeavoring to escape with the Yankees, either from the sinking of a flat or the Yankee officers cutting the pontoons loose. "Private residences, after being plundered, were guarded, to 'protect' them." The battle of Bentonville. A letter from Bentonville, March 20th, gives the following about the defeat of the enemy there the day before: "The fight yesterday was successful. I was on the right, and saw Bate's and Cleburne's divisions charge and carry two lines of breastworks, driving the enemy two miles. Hill, commanding Lee's corps, and Loring, commanding Stewart's corps, did similarly on the left. The troops fought gallantly. General Bate commanded Cheatham's corps; Brigadier General Reynolds, of Arkansas, lost a leg; Colonel Talbert, commanding Loring's division, was badly wounded; Colonel Keenan, of the Florida brigade, also lost a leg; Major Wilkinson, commanding Tyler's brigade, was killed."
