Arrival of Kebel Prisoners—Brig. General Young among Them—The Rebel Assault en Shelbyville Repulsed—The Place Sub- sequently Abandoned—The Enemy w im Possession—Union Forces All Right— Hood's Position Unchanged — Nashville Strong in Defences. NASHVILLE, Nov. 30.—A train arrived here last night from Chattanooga, with a few wound- ed men and several rebel prisoners; among the latter is Brigadier General Young, of Cheat- ham’s command. There are no breaks on the Chattanooga road, though rebel cavalry are prowling near the line. They cressed the track near Lavergne last night, 15 miles south of Nashville. ‘The garrison at Shelbyville was attacked by a body of rebel cavalry on Monday, but after some severe skirmishing the rebels retired. Skirmishing at the front is of daily occur. rence. There is no change in Hood’s position. In every skirmish so far the Federals appear to have had the advantage. Our forces have evacnated Shelby ville, and it is now in the hands of the rebels. Opinions are rife as to Hood’s movements. Ample preparations have been made and are making to defend Nashyille, should he attempt its capture. TBE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, Fhe Full Vote of Pennsylvania not yet Ascertained — Fifteen Counties not Ke- ported. HareiseurG, Noy. 29.—By a provision ot the law controlling the election of Presidential electors, it is made the duty of the Governor to ascertain the votes for each elector, and then declare the persons thus elected by proclama- tion, And cause @ notification to be delivered to each person chosen on or before the last peneadsy ot November next, after such elec- ion. it now appears that up to noon to-day fifteen counties have failed to report their vote for electors, This failure is accounted for on the ground of the time haying been extended by the law granting the elective franchise to the soldiers. Lacking these fifteen counties, the returrs are of course incomplete, and no notice can issue to-morrow to the electors thus chosen. The contingency growing out of this state of affairs will require the attention of the Legis- lature, and no doubt secure the passage ot a law preventing the recurrence of asimilar state of affairs. It is evident that the law on the subject is more directory than obligatory, and that any action which the Governor may take in the premises, looking merely to the execu- tion of justice, will be indorsed by all right- minded men.

Captains J. F. Skelton and G. W. Deal, of the 17th Lowa regiment, who were captured in October last, at Tilton, Georgia, by Gen. Stewart's corps, of Hood’s army, have escaped from Georgia prisons, and after a series of almost unparalleled hardships, haye made their way ont of rebeldom, and are now in thi s city. On being captured, the prisoners were marched under guard to Blue Mountain, Als thence to Talladega, and there took train tor Selma, Ala. From Selma they were sent down the Alabama river to Oababa. At this place the men were imprisoned in Castle Morgan, (& place very much after the Andersonville per- suasion,) and the officers were put on parole of honor, with prescribed limits, in the city. After asojourn of four days in Cahaba, a detach- ment of 500 prisoners, including the officers and men of the 17th lowa, were put on board the U.S. transport “Coquette,” and started up the river, bound for eastern prisons. This was on the evening of the 29th of Octeber. They arrived at Montgomery, Ala., on the 30th, and were bivonacked for the night in the eastern suburbs of the city. On the morning of the 3ist they were pat aboard a train for Columbus, Gs., which place was reached at 7 p.m. of the same day. Oapt. Skelton and Capt. Deal, having some idea of a prison life, resolved to make aneffort to escape. Upon arriving at Columbus, the prisoners were parked in a common near the Macon Railroad depot. The abovenamed officers proposed to the guard to have a fire kindled, and received permission to step aside a few paces to pro- cure fuel, unaccompanied by aguard. Being outside of the guard line, they took advantage of the opportunity, and, by 8 circuitous route, (first to the northward, to give the impression that they were going towards Atlanta,) they reached the Ohattahoochie river, three miles below Columbus; thence they preceeded down the river, through canebrakes, bars, and many other almost insurmountable obstacles, im search of a skiff, in which they hoped to make oe escape down the river to Apalachicola ay. Having buta very limited supply of food, they immediately put themselves on one-fourth rations. At the end of the third day they pro- cured @ small battean from a negro, giving him a silver watch as a remuneration. In this they embarked, but had not proceeded half a mile until they ran intoa drift, and Captain Skelton was thrown overboard. With some difficulty he swam ashore, and again ene trusted himeelf to the feeble bark. They had not gone far until the battean sprang a leak, and was well nigh sinking before they could reach the shore. However, they managed to stop the leak. and on they went. Thi oon found a better batteau than the one th and they took occasion to exchange. They proceeded down the river by night, lying up in the day time, until they passed the month ot the Flint river. They then traveled day and night the restof theirjourney. AtGum Swamp they found the Apalachacola river blockaded for along distance by drift. With much dif- ficulty they worked their way around through the swamp to the right, actually cutting apas- sage for their batteau through the brush with a Dotoner knife, the only weapon which they had. At length they succeeded in getting into Chipola cut-off; then into the Chipola river, and from there down into the {Apalachicola again. They passed Fort Gadsden by day- light, not knowing there was a rebel garrison at that place. At Bleody Bluff, five miles below, they landed and inquired of a woman if there was any rebel soldiers in the vicinty. She informed them that there was 8 garrison at Fort Gadsden, five miles above. She also in- formed them that they were then within twenty- five miles of Apalachicola. They floated on down the river until night, and stopped for the night at the head of Lake Winspeco. The fol- lowing morning, which was November 8, they proceeded down along the left-hand shore, the river at this point being very wide. When within six miles of Apalachicola, the sea ran eo high that they were driven intoa marsh, and could not proceed further without swemping their canoe. Seeing no prospect of the wind abating, they determined to haila man whom they discovered on the opposite shore. They accordingly raised a white flag, which was discovered by the man, and he, in company with two other men, got into a small boat and came to their relief. After some interrogatories on the part ef the officers, they ascertained that their rescuers were Union men. Here they received their dinner, and when night came they were taken into the boatand conveyed to Apalachicola, where they received the kindest treatment by several Union citi- zens. At4 a. m., on the morning of the 9th, they were conyeyed in a boat to the steamer Somerset, which vessel was anchored out in the bay, three miles distant. ‘The officers wish to express their gratitude toward Acting Volunteer Lien-enant W. P. Rogers and others, officers of the U. S. steamer Somerset, for many kind favors received at their hands. On the evening of the 9th the fugitives went on board the U.S. steamer Stars and Stripes to West Pass. On this vessel they were kindly treated by Acting Volunteer Lieutenant John Sherrill commanding, and other officersfof his crew. On the morning of the 10th they went on board the U.S. steamer Isonomia, Lieuten- ant Commander Simpson commanding, for Key West. The fugitives speak in the highest terms of praise of the courtesy and hospitality shown them by the officers of the Isonomia. They arrived at Key West onthe 14th and left for New York on the steamship Union on the 17th. As a matter of interest jast now in regard to provision supply in going through Georgia, they state that the margin of the Chattahoochee was one vast cornfield on both sides from Co- lumbus to the mouth of Flint River. From Unat point to Apalachicola was adenseswamp. FINANCIAL.— The N'Y. Postsays: Wail street to-day, in the absence of more ex- citing topics, is discussing the probable plans which the Secretary of the Treasury will recommend for the adoption of Congress. The prevailing opinion seems to be that further is- sues of currency of every kind will be prohibi- ted by Congress; and that more stability being thus given to the financial machinery of the country, any future loans which may be re. quired can be negotiated without the violent spasms which haye been produced by recent loans.

The fuse had been lit, but had become extinguished before the torpedo was ignited, and the hellish design of the perpetrators providentially frus- trated. 1t is thought that night before last, just before the City of New London started on her regular trip irom New York, some person en- tered the boat, placed the torpedo in the berth, lighted it, and returned on shore.—Boston Trav- eler of Tuesday. ji Grn.
