THE WAR IN TENNESSEE. Latest News from Nashville—The Rattle of Musketry Heard in the Streets—Our Troops Well Conceutrated—All Are Amxious for the Attack—The Victory at Frankl emplete—Great Loss of the Enemy—Heavy C i f{ Theirf Of- ficers—Further Particulars of the Fight. LovisviL_x, Dec. 2.—This morning’s Joural fays that Thomas has abandoned his strong position at Franklin, and formed in line of bat- Ue within three milesof Nashville. Yesterday evening the two hostile armies were engaged in skirmishing, and the rattle of musketry could be plainly heard in the streets of Nash- ville. A desperate battle is imminent, but we do not believe Gen. Thomas has any tears for the result. He is notas weak as he would make the rebels believe, and can offer battle to a better advantage to himself in frontof Nashville than at any other point. His left wing rests on Murfreesboro, and when strengthened by forces at Chattanooga, it will be strong enough to close upon Hood's rear and cut off his retreat. The Great Victory. N ASKVILLE, Dec. 2.—Additional reports re- ceived increase the magnitude otf the late vic- tory at Franklin. Thirty stand of colors were captured by the Union forces. Gen. Stanley commanding the 4th corps, had @ very narrow escape, haying his horse killed under him, and was shot in the right shoulder, the ball traversing the back and going out of the left shoulder. He is in the city, and, though surering considerable, is still attending to uty. ieis confirmed that Gen. Pat. Cleburne of Tennessee, is killed. Gen. Kimball,!command- ing the 2d {division fof Stanley’s corps, in the neat of battle passed a rebel major general, who told him he was mortally wounded. His men succeeded in carrying off his body. Itis believed that Hood’s main army is threat - ening Murfreesboro. Forrest's rebel cavalry are demonstrating on our frontandrighbt flank. Commander Fitch is here witha fleet of iron- clads. Saflicient forces have arrived to ensure, no! only the safety of Nashville, but another Union victory, in case of a battle, underany circum- stances. The military men all unite in the opinion that Generals Stanley and Schofield conducted the retreat from Pulaski in the face of the en- emy with admirable skill, crowning all with a Union victory at Franklin. Graphic Description of the Fight (Speclal Despatch to the New York Times. | ¥ MILEs SouTH OF NASVILLE, Dec. 1.— Gen. Schofield yesterday fought one of the prettiest fights of the war, resulting most disas- trously to therebels, with little loss to our- selyes. After three days’ skirmishing, the en- emy crowded our first line of works yesterday afternoon, and at four p.m.made a most des- perate attack on our right and centre, forc- ing our lines to our breastworks; which were thrown up fromriver to river in an open field on the ea te ED which ran through the centre of the field. At least half the rebel force engaged endea- vored to pierce our centre, and came down viciously on Wagner’s division, which after desperate fighting, fell back, and Many’s rebel division,of Frank Cheatham’s corps, got inside our works and captured two guns. Our centre ‘was not breken, however, and, better still, General Wagner successfully rallied his troops, who charged on the enemy, recaptured the two guns, and drove the division over the breastworks, capturing one entire brigade and its commander. At 4.30 o’clock the battle was waged with pneueting: vigor, the enemy having made during a half hour several attempts to break our centre. The Federal position was a magnificent one, and the result of these four day’s work was magnificently grand. All this while the rebels had appeared in front of ourright, The plan was to pierce our centre and crush our right wing before dark. A portion of our infantry were engaged three- quarters of an hour firing on the rebel column, who stood their ground like madmen, During every charge made on our right and centre, volleys of grape ard canister were hurled into their lines, and only darkness prevented their sacrifice being more awful. Itis said that ne canister shot was used by the rebels during the day, but fired shot and shell. Alter the first break ot Wagner’s division and its recovery, our linenever budgedastep All was quietafter10 p.m. It was not only one of the prettiest but cleanest battles of the war. The excessive slaughter of theenemy was owing to our wholesale use of canister and grape, and our selection ofthe ground. The battle was fought in an open field, with no trees or under- growth or other interruption. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded approximates 7,000, and we have over 1,200 prisoners, and one gen- eral officer aud seyeral field officers. The colonel of the 15th Mississippi, a northern man, of Illinois, was wounded and taken prisoner. Your-fitths of his regiment was killed, wound. ea,and captured. Our loss does not reacha thousand, hors dw combat. General Bradly, of Illinois, while gallantly leading his troops, ‘Was severely wounded in the shoulder. Our loss in field officers is very small. Our troops behaved handsomely. Schofield commanded on the field, Stanley on the right, and Cox on the left. General Stanley was wounded slight- ly in the neck,but remained on the field, and is all right to-day. Ihavyetold you all along the programe of General Thomas would electrify you, and this is but the epilogue of the batttle to come off. After our dead, wounded, and prisoners were cared for, our army fell back to this point, and are in line of battle while I write. Up to this time, three p. m., the enemy has not made his appearance. The3d corps of veterans are in readiness, and a battle is expected be- fore to-morrow. All Government work is suspended, and all are under arms, from (en- eral Donaldson down to the unscientific la- borer. The falling back of our troops was accom- plished at 6 o’clock this morning, and bridges burned across Harpeth river to retard the transportation of rebel supplies. The cavalry was handled prettily by General Willson, b2- tween Spring Hill and Triune. A. J. Smith’s corps is in line of battle, and the situationis particularly grand. Forts Neg- ley, Morton, Cairo, and Houston, are alive,and the infantry movementy perfectly satisfactory. Something must immediately transpire, as General Thomas is ready to strike, no matter how the rebels move. Additional Foreign News by the Steamship China.

Ifso, the raiders have turned their course from this region, perhaps for Milledge- ville or Macon. Heavy cannonading was heard all yesterday afternoon in the direction of Macon, believed to be a battle between Sherman and our forces {From the Savarnah News, Noy. 26.| We have no reliable information from the front to-day of any movements that are going on. We learn that the opinion prevails to some extent in military circles that Sherman intends yet to fall on Macon, and not press on towards the coast at present. Ourown forces are gathering and going to the proper place. We are informed that over three thousand rations were issued in this city this morning to newly-arrived veteran troops, and we are also officially informed that four or five thousand more will pass through here in two or three days. Governor Vance, of North Carolina, in his message, makes the following remarkable ad- missions : “The western border of the State is subject toraids and depredations from bands of law- jess men, who swarm in the mountain trontier, and murder, burn and destroy with savage cruelty. Some of the interior counties, also, are infested by deserters representing nearly every State in the Confederacy, who lurk in the swamps and mountains, stealing, plunder- ing, and in many instances murdering the in- babitants. Insome places they muster in such force as almost to amount toa suspension of the civilauthority, aided and protected, as they are, by their relatives and friends. “All of my efforts to abate the nuisance by offers of pardon haying proved fruitless, I see no remedy for the evil but tooutlaw them and drive them from the State by the strong hand.” The Governor says that the blockade ran- ning Operations of the State are pretty nearly suspendea, and objects to the useof a com- mercial port like Wilmington as a resort tor cruisers. He says: “It has tripled the stringency of the block- ade, has already caused the loss of many val- uable steamers, and will ultimately provoke the utmost efforts of the enemy to capture Wilmington.” THE NEWS BY THE CHINA, Execution of Franz Muller—The Marder of Mr. Briggs Cenfessed by Muller. TheChina’s mail brings the particulars of the execution of Franz Muller for the murder of Mr. Briggs. MULLER’S CONFESSION. The following are published as the precise words of the final conversation between Mul- lerand Dr. Cappel, Minister of the German Lutheran Church: “Dr. Cappel said: Muller, in wenigen Au- genblicken stehen Sie vor Gott; ich frage Sie nochmals, und zum letzen male: Sind Sie schuldig oder unschaldig ? Muller—Ich bin unschuidig. Dr. Cappel—Sie sind unschnl- dig! Mullsr—Gott weiss was ich gethan habe, Dr. Cappel—Gott weiss was Sie gethan haben. Weiss er auch, dass Sie dies Verbrechen. gethan haben? Muller—Ja; ich habe es gethan.” TRANSLATION. Dr. Cappel— Muller, in a few minntes you will stand before God; I ask you again and for the last time: Are you guilty or inno- cent! Muller—I am innocent. Dr. Cappel—You are innocent? Muller —God knows what i have done. Dr. Cappel — God knows what you have done. Does he know also that you have com- mitted this crime? Muller—¥es, / did it. ,, MULLER’S LAST MOMENTS, Dr. Cappel writes to a London paper the tollowing account of Muller’s last moments: “Soon after entering his cell on the last morning 1 asked Muller again whether he was guilty of this murder. He denied it. I then said, ‘Muller, the moments are precious; we must turn our minds wholly to God; I shall question you no more about this, but my last Words to you will be, ‘Are you innocent?” He remained silent fora minute or two, but presently exclaimed, his eyes full of tears, and clasping his arms round my neck, ‘ Do not for- sake me; stay with me to the last.’ I was so struck with this that I consulted with Mr. Jonas, the governor, whether the final ques- tion ehould be put in the pinioning-room or on the scaffold. We decided for the latter. ““My own firm conviction, derived from the closest personal intercourse with the prisoner, is that murder was not premeditated; but that Muller, in want of morey, and yielding toa sudden temptation, attacked his victim for the sake of robbery, and finished, in the despair of the moment, by Killing him either with his own hands or causing his fall from the rail- way carriage. I recollect particularly on one occasion, when I represented to him the crime as likely to have taken place in this way, he answered not, but gazed at me intently, and impressed me at the time with the belief of the correctness of my supposition. “I generally observed that Muller was most earnest in protesting his innocence when di- rectly charged with murder. Statements such as never having been in a Nerth London rail- way train he made ouly in answer to pointed questions, and, it seems, in order not to contra- dict previous similar assertions. His manner— simple, gentle, and apparently open and truth- ful—was such as easily to deceiveeven experi- enced observers, and ‘the wonderful self-pos- session of tn! lost remarkable character was never more strikingly manifested than by his fencing with words, the rope round his neck and the white cap over his face, when about to confess his guilt at the very last moment. “His last two hours were all peace and prayer. He repeated what he had said ‘If I had died six months ago I should have been lost, but now I entirely rely on God’s mercy; I have done with the world, and am ready to leave it.’ He stated ali recent events had at times appeared to him like a vision or a dream, adding that he had passed in solitude through many terrible hours since his arrest in America. He was fullof meekness and Tesig- nation, forgave freely all his enemies, uested me to write to his father that he should die a happy and repentant man.” Advices trom Germany report great excite. ment on account of the execution of Muller. The conduct of the British Government was bitterly denounced, and it was thought at Ber- lin that there was danger fora time of an atiack on the British Legation. The German le firmly believed in Muller’s innocence. he frst accounts published at Berlin of the execution made no allusion to Muller's confession, but it was subsequently announced, and of course had a tranquilizing effect.
