e papers indicate that he will soon cross the Savannah river and march up the Charleston and Savannah railroad towards. Branch river and Charleston. We believe this will be the route taken by him, and shall not be surprised to learn at any moment that he is on the march. From General Hood. There are, as yet, no official dispatches from General Hood. Persons who left Huntsville on the 21st ultimo report that when Hood was on the eve of withdrawing from the neighborhood of Nashville, he was attacked by the enemy, who missed on his centre and broke through Cheatham's and Bate's divisions. That on Tuesday, the 20th of December, there was another battle, in which the enemy were whipped, and lost an entire brigade. That about the same time Forrest captured a brigade of cavalry and six hundred wagons. The same authority reports the population of North Alabama and Middle Tennessee as thoroughly aroused — every man and boy capable of bearing arms hurrying to join Hood's army.

r we are justified in giving credit to the intelligence published by us yesterday, and derived from a neighboring journal, to the effect that General Hood had been attacked when in the act of raising the siege of Nashville, and that, on the 20th of December, he had made up for his ill-fortune by defeating the enemy severely at Columbia. We say we know not whether this report is entitled to entire credit; but the substance of it corresponds so well with what we had previously conceived to be ths 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 wha

following report of the operations of the Army of Tennessee while it was under my command. Want of the reports of the lieutenant-generals, for which I have waited until now, prevents me from being circumstantial. In obedience to the orders of the President, received by telegraph at Clinton, Mississippi, December 18, 1863, I assumed command of the Army of Tennessee at Dalton on the 27th of that month. Letters from the President and Secretary of War, dated respectively 23d and 20th of December, impressed upon me the importance of soon commencing active operations against the enemy. The relative forces, including the moral effect of the affair of Missionary ridge, condition of the artillery horses, and most of those of the cavalry, and want of field transportation, made it impracticable to effect the wishes of the Executive. On the 31st of December, the effective total of the infantry and artillery of the army, including two brigades belonging to the Department of Missis

question of fees was referred to the Committee on Markets, with instructions to report back to the Council their action on the subject. Mr. Burr, from the Committee on Finance, reported an ordinance amending the sixteenth section of the ordinance imposing taxes for the support of the city government for the fiscal years 1865 and 1866, so as to extend the time further for the collection of the first half of the city taxes for the current years to the 15th of January, instead of the 20th of December. The ordinance was passed. Mr. Glazebrook made a statement relative to the abuses of bucksters in the markets, they having erected booths, stalls and sheds everywhere. Mr. Burr, from the Committee on Grounds and Public Buildings, reported adversely upon the petition of E. & S. Wortham proposing to purchase the site of the old powder magazine for the purpose of erecting a substantial building thereon. The report was adopted. Mr. Crutchfield, from the Commissioners of Stre

two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the purpose of subsidizing certain members of Congress, in order to secure the passage of an amendment to the currency act, giving these banks the benefit of their lost circulation.

Congressional. Washington, December 20. --Senate.--Mr. Morrill reported the bill to regulate the elective franchise in the District of Columbia. Mr. Sumner hoped it would be acted on very soon. The country demanded it. Mr. Davis called Mr. Sumner to order, saying that the bill was not before the Senate for discussion. Mr. Wilson called up the Senate bill to maintain the freedom of the inhabitants of States lately in rebellion. Mr. Sumner addressed the Senate in favor of the bill. He said that when he thought of what occurred in the chamber yesterday, in an attempt to white-wash the unhappy condition of the rebel States, he felt that he ought to speak of nothing else here to-day. He read a number of letters from the South, private and public, to show that the spirit of rebellion still existed. Mr. Saulsbury said that from indications there was to be a split in the Republican party, and if President Johnson stood by the principles of his special mes

From Washington. Washington, December 20. --The decree of Maximilian of September last having been submitted to Attorney-General Speed, that officer pronounced the opinion that it makes the working men in Mexico slaves. Secretary Seward enclosed this opinion to our Minister at Paris, who, at Mr. Seward's request, called the attention of the French Government to the subject, but to which no response has been received. The War Department has ordered a reduction of the white troops in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to seven thousand men. The Secretary of the Treasury officially acknowledges that he has appointed officers who have not subscribed to the test oath, having failed to obtain those who could be relied on for the performance of the revenue duties required, as nearly every man in the South fit for a revenue officer was at the same time either engaged in hostilities against the Government or holding State or Confederate offices, either willingly or unwilling
