FURTHER PARTICULARS OF SCHU. | FIELD'S BRILLIANT VICTORY | OVER HOOD: ee A HEAVY FIGHT ANTICIPATED THERE TO DAY, | edie ee {Special Despatch to The Star. } NASHVILLE, TeNN., Dec. 1, 1964, 7 p.m.— AAttsck at Franklin last night was a severe battle, the enemy acting with all his forces, and suffering heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners. (f the latter 1,000 have been brought in, and the the former is estimated at not less than 3,000; while our entire list of casualties ‘Will not reach 1,000. After caring for our part | ‘we fell back, leaving Franklin at3 a. m.,and now confront Hood from the fortifications of Washyille. Gen. Steadman has arrived with EXTRA. of Washington at Shepard’s Hall, corner of 7th of Tennessee, left him nothing to doin the in- terior of the country, except perhaps to occupy it and garrison towns. This he was in no con- dition to attempt, for his army was diminished to half its number after the fall of Atlanta It | was organized for three years in 1861, and the enlistment of most regiments expired in June. | He kept them together for seme time by the | promise that they would be sent home as soon gs the town was taken. When the Jonesboro’ movement proved & Federal success—a disgrace to our &@rms not | less indelible than Missionary Ridge—he kept | bis promise. and his army was reduced to | whatit is now. It was insofficient to garrison | and occupy a wide extent of country; but it | might be used against Charleston or Savannab, or at least it might be employed, after a junc- tion with Grant, against Richmond. Now,the nearest way to Richmond, to Charleston or Savannah is precisely the road he has taken. By a direct march to Beanfort he reaches the fleet, which can land him, without obstacle or dapger, on the bank of the James. In any event, work tor his army could only be found by directing his steps tothe sea. His blows are not aimed atinland villages, nor is the ob- ject of his march the separation of the Confed- eracy. or of those railroads w hich unite more rapidly than he can cut them. The Importance of Macon and Augusta Urged—By Taking £ither Sherman will Accomplish Great Things. {From the Richmond Examiner, Nov. 26.) The news from Georgia, now the most in- | teresting of all. exceedingly meagre and un- trustwortby t no doubt can now been- tertained of Sherman's design or his destina- tion When Davis sent, and Hood took, the only army apparent in the country off his shoulders and carried it throughthe moun- tains to stick in the mud between Tuscumbia and Florence, Sherman determined to make an attempt on the lines ot communication between Virginia, the Carolinians and the rest of the Contederate States, his work in Northern Georgia was done, and for ulterior operations any pointon the seacoast would be a better base than Crattanooga. He risked much in appearance, but perhaps little in reality, by destroying his communications. A marching army can transport ammunition for at least three pitched battles, and for supplies this of the year he might partly rely on the country which he proposed to pass. If he ceuld take Macon or Augusta by the way, he would ac- complish great things; but the destruction of those towns are net his main object. His de- sign was to destroy the railroads, as far as he could, which ran irom Southern and Western Georgie to Virginia and the Oarolinas, and to rest his army at Beaufort and Port Royal. | That he would go to that point rather than Savannab is nearly certain for a he directed his conrse to Savannah or Charlston, he would find fortified and well | defended cities, and his troops, exhausted by a long march, both in strength and ammuni- | tion, would be wholly unfit to reduce either place. But the enemy already has possession of Beaufort. He would have no fighting to do there, and he would find transports laden with every species of supply awaiting his arrival. It is, therefore, reasonable to believe that Bean- fort is the point of destination, and that if he fails at Augusta he will make his way thither as fast as the Confederate troops permit him. If the reader will glance at the map, he will perceive that when Sherman has passed from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and thence to Beau- fort. he will have severed every railroad be- tween Georgia and Virginia. his severance will be easily repaired; but if he can establish himself permanently at Beaufort, he may be able to operate against those roads repeatedly. Furtbermore, Beaufort lies between Charleston and Savannah, and can be conveniently used as the base of land operations against either city. It is evidently highly important that Sherman should never take Augusta or Macon, and should never reach Beaufort Illinois Legislature.

The extracts we give below from late Rich” mmond papers are interesting as showing that the rebels at Richmond are by no meanssosan- @uine of hindering Sherman in his progress @orough Georgia, as the organs of Jetf Davis ould have them believe. ‘The Richmond Examiner of Nov. 28th, says: «He may reach the seain safety, and by so doing inflict disappoimtment on the country and disgrace on the official persons whoshould ave rendered his escape impossible in that di- Fection, or in any direction, after he burned Atlanta and “busted the railroad.” But let us suppose the worst.

He will | inflict some loss on the citizens and someon the government; but he cannot stay there, as he could have stayed at Atianta, for he would bave nosupply or communication.

Rebel AcCounts of Sherman's Movements —He is Penetrating the Very Heart of the Coniederacy—Sherman Kushing Like a Steam Engine—Hood's Army Switehed eff ona Side Track. By the eubjoined extracts from Richmond papers of Tuesday it will be seen that while some cf them claim that Sherman is ‘‘flounder- :Dg” in central Georgia others admit that he is “rushing like a steam engine along the rail- eoads of Georgia pemetrating the very heart of the Confederacy.’* From Georgia. {From the Richmond Whig, Nov. 20.] The Augusta Sentinel, of the 22d, states that intelligence reached Augusta the evening be- jore, by the passenger train on the Georgia Railroad, that our authorities had burned the bridge over the Oconee River, and that the Yankee column, moying down the road, had diverged from it, and was hastening to join the | main body. It is siated that the Yankees had a large wagon train with them, which was divided | after jeaving the Georgia road in order to sweep all supplies from the section within reach of thetworoutes taken. Scouts report them five brigades strong. LATER. We received late last night, a copy of the August1 Constitutionalist of the 25th. which states that Gen. Wayne bas whipped Kilpat- rick’s cavalry division at Oconee Bridge, driving them headlong and in confusion. He telegraphs that he ts pertectly able to take care of himself. Wheeler, with many thousand men, has in- tercepted the enemy ata point at present an- mentionable, ard is giving them no rest night or day. ‘The main bedy of the enemy is moving down the western side of the Oconee, and has shown no disposition thus tar to attempt its passage. The Constitutionalist adds that 300 prisoners arrived last evening from up the Georgia Road, and 400 more are to arrive to-day. These pris- oners report that a division of 3,000 of our cav- alry has followed them ail the way, dashing upon them constantly, picking up stragglers and capturing wagons. [From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 29.] A letter was received in Columbus on Sat- urday trom Palmetto, a point on the West Poiut and La Grange railroad, stating that Kilpat- Tick, with 5,000 Yankees, was advancing down the country on ihe Alabama side of the Chat- tahoochee, burning and destroying every- thing. {From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 29.] Sherman may get through to the seacoast and embark for Grant’s army, but as for doing the Confederate cause any serious injury, there is now no danger whatever. f A But without sustaining any physical injury trom Sherman’s successful march to the coast, our cause cannot escape a great moral defeat by a triumphant raid through the heart of the Uontederacy. While Hood’s army is switched off on a side track, at ‘Tuscumbia, Sherman is rushing like a steam engine along the railroads of Georgia, penetrating the very heart of the Contederacy. The following is frora the Richmond Sentinel, (Jeff. Davis’s organ,) of the 29th, and evidently tries to put a good face on the Confederate con- dition of affairs in Georgia. “The fact that Sherman bas been bafiled thus far in his attempts to penetrate Georgia has been well known in this city for several days, and turther reticence on that score is unneces- sary. He is floundering about now between the rapidly concentrating maneuvers of the ate troops and such portions of the regular rmy as were not otherwise more advan- tageously employed, it having been deemed imprudent and perhaps unnecessary to draw off troops from any of our frontier armies. In- te. ligence from Augusta on the 26th mstant st.tes that the Macon train arrived on ihe pre- ous night at the usual time, and the rumor a ‘oat that the Central road had been cut was Vv .3 incorrect.” FLOM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, —___.__—— Artillery Duel Between Fort Hell and se Rebels—Lt.-Col.

We copied yesterday a paragraph from an Albany paper announcing the pardon by the President of Wm.T.

RICHMOND TO BE SHELLED.—An army _cor- Tesponuent writes to a New Yorkjpaper, Nov. 26th, from Butler's headquarters: “A move- mentis now in progress in this army, which, when fully completed, will destroy Richmond. It only awaits the sanction of the General-in- Chiet, who will be here to-morrow, before ac- tive operations are commenced. It is not gen- erally known, even among well-informed military men, that the beleagured capital of rebellion is within gunshot range of our bat- teries; but such is nevertheless the fact. Guns are nOW on their way here that will throw shells into Richmond from our batteries in front of the eighteenth Corps, 8 distance of sey- en miles. With these guns in position, and the projectiles prepared which it ts intended to use ‘with them, our gunners can destroy Richmond in forty-eighthours, The ball or shell now in use would not, of course, answer the purpose, although that would doubtless accomplish the object in course of time. A particular kind of ahell has been preprred, and in this really con- sists the main feature of the proposed plan.” ScARCITY OF Lasor.—There ts great com- plaint of & scarcity of servants in the families of Salisbury and vicinity, since the slaves were released from eervice. This diffica it fm hoped, will soon be obviated by a better derstanding between the classes.— Somerset (4d.) Herald. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS The Great Battle at Franklin, Tennessee. Hoed Attacks Gen.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 1.—The great battle at Franklin, fought on Wednesday, began by preliminary encounters at positions in advance of that position three previous days. Our army fell back, during that period, severely pressed by Cheatham’s and Stuart's corps,and took a position in improvised works in front of the town of Franklin Skirmishing began about neon, and at four p.m. developed into the full proportions of a battle. For two hours subsequent to that time the contest raged with most deeperate fury. The enemy’s attack was directed chiefly Against our center, and aimed to pierce that portion of our line. In this design he was un- happily so far successful that the left center, under command of General Wagner, gave Way. This for a time created great confusion, but after come eflort the troops were rallied, and the integrity of the line of battle restored. This being accomplished, a vigorous counter charge on the enemy was made, and the rebel front was forced back in confusion. We captured fttve hundred prisoners and a rebel division commander, General Grordon. While this advance was being made on our part, the enemy attempted a counter maneuver, with the view of turning onr right flank. In this design he failed, and the tactical victory Temained with the Unjon army. The brunt of the battle fell mpon our right and center, and was only closed by the mantle of night talling upon the combatants. Hood commanded in person, were marked by his characteristi 3 After dark* nade persistentetforts to drive the Union arfiy across Harpeth river, but our men stood their ground, and held the works until two this morning, when the whole army was transferred across the river and Franklin evacuated. the enemy making demonstrations on our rear with their cavalry. Our loes in killedand wounded is abont one thousand, but ofthe enemy must reach at least five times that number, the disparity being due to the fact that our troops fought under cover of breastworks. The experience of to-day’s bat- tle demonstrates that Hood has with hima very formidable army, and he brought into play not less than fifty pieces of artillery. Our whole army is now concentrated in Nashville, the strategic point which forms the object of the next attack by Hood, and which is hourly ex- pected. Our wounded have all been lodged in hospitals in this city, and our dead were prop- erly cared for during the night. While, as previously reported, all present indications go toshow that Hood will lavish his moet energetic efforts in an attempt to cay ture this point, yet if he concludes it impr’ dent to risk the attempt, his object will proba- bly be to turn bis line of advance towards Knoxville, where he would be in position either to make further advances via Cumber- land (ap, or, it necessary, to effect a junction with Lee, via Lynchburg. Ir is not contraband for me to add, for the er. ovragement of the country, thatthe defenses o! Nishville are the result of two years’ labor anu engineering skill, and he will find an at- tempt at its eapture a much more difficult task than | 2 had before him at Franklin. I firmly beli:+ that our impregnable lines will set a % ‘vies te his further progress north ward.

The (- ufederate General captured yesterday, nel Gordon, of the 11th Tennessee, gadier General. ‘er who witnessed the fight at Frank- ' rday describes the battle as one of the most sanguinary of the war. The determined bravery of the Rebels exceeded anything before seer. Although slaughtered by hundreds. they still advoneed against our batteries, and within five bours e:even distinct assaults were made against our works, each of which were a fail- ure. The atthe being ended, our forces quietly witndrc w from the town. The f lowing are among the casualties: -—- Major General Stanley, wounded by a shotin the neck.

The total loss of the enemy in killed, wourded and prisoners is estimated at 4,000, 3,000 being either killed or wounded. The Fed- eralloss in killed and wounded is 700. The loss iu prisoners 1s trifling; our loss in regi- ments is light. Geu. Bradley is also wounded and in the elty. Col. Stockton and Maj. James, of the 72d Ilino’s, are also wounded.
