Stanley—The Entrench- ments at Nashville—They Encircle the City—Hoed Trying to Cross the Cumber- land—. ther Great Battle Expected— A Unien Cavalry Brigade Surrounded— Thev Escape by Desperate Fighting— Capture of a Train of Cars—Certain Citi- zens ef Nashville Ordered Away—Our Cevaley Surrounded, But Cut their Way ut. Lovisvilix. Ky., Dec. 3.—The Journal has a letterfrom Nashville, which states that on Wednesday evening Capron’s brigade of cay- alry, consisting of the 11th Illinois, 7th Ohio, 5th Iowa, and Sth Michigan cavalry regiments, was surrounded by the rebels, and only es- caped by Most desperate fighting. They cut their way through the rebel lines, and joined General Thomas in the rear of Franklin. A number of men were made priseners, and the loss in killed and wounded was not light. On the same evening a train of cars wascap- tured by the rebels at Brentwood, nine miles from Nashville, on the Tennessee and Nash- ville railroad. All the citizens of Nashville engaged in no ostensible business have been ordered to leave the city. Six hundred and ninety-one rebel prisoners captured by General Thomas arrived here last night. They will be sent forward to Camp Douglas as rapidly as possible. Plan of Battle at Franklin. CINCINNATI, Dec. #.—The Gazette’s Nash- ville correspondent gives some additional par- ticulars of the battle of Franklin. The plan of the battle was very simple. We had no time to get up acomplete plan, as the enemy pressed us too closely and obliged us to fight him off. The original plan was to with- draw the force of Gen. Schofield until meeting our reinforcements, and then give battle in the vicinity of Nashville; but the over-sanguine enemy pressed us too hard, and when Schofield perceived that he could not ayoid a contest he drew up his little army in line of battle in front of Franklin. At half-past 3 p. m. the assault commenced— Cheatham’s corps on the right, Stewart's on the left, and S. D. Lee’s corps in reserve on the center, Cheatham threw his whole corps on Wagner's division with great impetuosity, and alter a half hour’s desperate fighting pushed ‘Wagner back on the second line, where they became mingled with Cox’s and Kuger’s men on our left and center. The rebels, encouraged by their success in driving Wagner back, advanced with loud cheers on our second line. Their order of advance was very peculiar—a semi-circle, two regiments deep, extending all around our lines, and behind every alternate Tegiment were placed four others, so that the assaulting columns were six regiments deep. Hood appeared about 4 p. m. at the head of his command, and, pointing towards our lines, said: ‘Break those lines, boys, and you have finished the war in Tennessee. Break them, and there is nothing to oppose your march from Nashville to the Ohio river.” Loud cheers answered the rebel leader, while the whole space in front of our lines was crowded with the advancing enemy. Captain Lyman, commanding the artillery brigade, ith corps, had placed his batteries in the most fa- vorable positions, and from these storms of shotand sheil hurled into the charging ranks with most reckless bravery. The rebels rushed on, and when within four hundred yards of our works, our boys opened upon them with ®0 terrible a fire of musketvy that it seemed as if nothing could live before it; but no wayer- ing was perceived in those advancing lines. On they came, running to the very parapet of our works. They stuck their bayonets under the logs on our battlements on the Columbus pike. The pressure was sO great that some of Cox’s and Wagner’s men temporarily gave away. Up to this time the brigade commanded by the gallant Col. Opdyke, 125th Ohio, had been held im reserve. Col. Opdyke, by orders of Gen. Staniey, rushed forward with his bri- gade to restore the broken line. The rebels who had crawled over our works had not time to retire, and Conch’s and Wagner’s men, though broken but a moment before, rallied and attacked the enemy on our flank, while Opdyke charged in front. A desperate hand-to-hand fignt ensued with bayonets and butt ends of muskets. Hundreds of rebels were captured here and the line restored. For two hours and a half tne battle raged all along our lines. Men of the ith and 23d corps vied with each other in bravery. Riley’s bri- gade of the 23d corps, fairly covered the ground in front of it with rebel deaa. The rebel General Adams was killed. He and his horse fell into the ditch in frontof the ith Ohio. Seventeen distinct attacks of the enemy were repelled. At dusk the rebels were repulsed at all points, but firing did not cease until nine o'clock. At least five thousand rebels were killed and wounded or captured, while our losses proba- bly reach 1,500. . We have taken from theenemy 30 flags, some regiment, among them the 70th Ohio, taking half a dozen apiece. Gen. Schofield directed the battle from the foot of the north bank of the stream, where some heavy guns and batteries of the 23d corps were placed and which did great servicein damaging the enemy’s right wing. Our Defences Hourly Strengthened. LOUISVILLE, Dec. The Journal contains the tollowing special, issued this noon. It is dated December 2: «The enemy has been wary to-day, and has demonstrated with great caution against our outer line, which is carefully constructed, and extends from river toriver, with aradius of 2%¢ miles from the Capitol, on the roads south of the city. “The enemy’s cavalry have been in full view all day, on the Franklin pike. «Just before dusk, our cavalry pushed ont toward the enemy’s line, causing him to retire, and afterwards the rebels being reintorceed, took up their line, and at once threw out skir- mishers. Some skirmishing occurred, neither arty sustaining any loss. No rebel infantry fae been developed. «Some artillery firing occurred this after- noon on the left; but few shots were fired. The defences are being hourly strengthened, and no apprehensions need be felt tor the safety of the city.” A Raid by the Enemy. LOovIsvILLEz, Dec. 3, 1:30 P.m.— Yesterday the rolling stock on the Lonisville and Nashville railroad was ordered hitner. To-day the or- der was countermanded. Astreet rumor, recounting @ Federal repulse at Clarkesville, Tenn., grew out of & dash of the rebels into Gallatin yesterday, where they cap- tured about 200 head of beeves. Our forces are pursuing, and will probably capture the raid- ers. SHERMAN. His Progress Through Georgia—At Last Accounts 40 Males from Savannah.

Abo Bood. We have Richmond papers of Friday, the 2d instant, from which we take the followimg interesting news: The Dispatch of that date says that Grant has ordered all citizens within five miles of his rear lines to move away, under penalty ofim- prisonment and loss of property, and thinks that Grant means to move on his left and not on his right. Itappears that an attack was made on the east of Macon on Sunday, the Wth of Noyem- per, the rebels losing a battery, which was subsequently recovered, with small loss on both sides, The attack was expected to be renewed on the 2ist, but was not, and the rebels came to the conclusion that the movement of Sunday was 8 feint. ‘This was probably made by a small force of Slocum’s corps, as the Augusta Constitution- alist, of the 2ith, says that Slocum’s entire corps Went down tne west side of the Oconee river. previous to the night of the 22d, indica- ting the intention to pass by Augusta, between that place and Macon, and make for the sea between Savannah and Brunswick. Governor Brown was in Macon, where he Pad removed all the valuables from Milledge- ville. The Constitutionalist states that the rebel cavalry are burning barns, corn cribs, and everything that may be of use to Sherman, im front of his main army on the Ocmulgee river. The Savannah Republican, of the 2ith and 25th, contains dispatches stating thaton the 24th there was fighting all day at the Oconee bridge, which was held by the rebels in the evening: The Federals had turned their guns in the oppose direction on the other side of the river indicating &n attack in the rear. Wheeler was crossing eighteen miles below the bridge toaid in its defense. Another dispatch stated that the Federals bad fi ed Gen. Wayne at the Oconee bridge, on the Central railroad, compelling him to re- treat, and that the Federals also crossed at Ball's Ferry, four miles below the bridge. A dispatch from Augusta, dated the eyening of the 23d, to Gen. Hardee, at Savannah, states that the enemy had been driven back across the Oconee, and Gen. Wayne has returned to the bridge. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 2ith says apprehensions prevailed there on the 23d, in consequence of rumors that a dispatch had been received announcing the passage of the Oconee, near Milledgeville, by theenemy, who were reported advancing in the direction of Augusta. The Savannah and Augusta papers of the 29th ult., state tbat the main body of Sherman’s army was reported on the 24th to be thirteen milts south of Saundersville, coming forward towards Savannah, and rapidly spreading de- vastation. The Richmond Whig, of the Ist, says the news from Georgia to yesterday, the 30th ult., shows Sherman gradually approaching the coast, but refrains from giving the direction. It says:—“He has met with no serious opposi- tion since his repulse at Oconee, but that efforts are making to head him off. “Wheeler had two victorious engagements with Kilpatrick’s cavalry, in one of which he captured Kilpatrick's hat.” Hardee telegraphs from Savannah that he leit Macon perfectly secure, and was making certain dispositions in that quarter. The Savannah Republican, of the 25th, says a large fleet is now assembled at Port Royal, Tybee and Dobcy, in preparation for Sher- man’s arrival. The Savannah News thinks Sherman’s des- tination is that city, and unless his army is either whipped, routed, or captured he will Teach that place. Enemy Badly Whipped at Grahamsville, [From the Richmond Whig, Dec. 2.} A mail despatch was received last night, which stated that our forces had engaged and routed the Yankees at Grahamsvyille, S.C., driving them five miles. The Yankees left their dead on the field. Grahamsville ison the road from Savannah to Charleston, about thirty miles northeast from Savannah. The party beaten are evidently troops sent up from Port Royal. peror the Savannah Republican, Nov. 25.} he main body of Sherman's army was re- ported yesterday to be about thirteen miles ‘west of Saundersville, and coming forward rapidly, spreading devastation in their path. Slocum’s Corps on the Georgia Railroad, at the Oconee River, up to Nov. {From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Noy.21.) We have intelligence from Slocum’s corps, which has been operating on the Georgia road, upto the nightof the 22d. At that time but eleven Yankees had crossed the river, and of this number seven have been captured. Slo- cum’s entire column has gone down the west side of the river, indicative of an attempt to pass by Augusta, and, slipping between it and Macon, plunge towards the sea by Sayannah or Brunswick. The Country in which Sherman Now Is, {From the Savannah Republican, Noy. 23.) ‘The «Georgia road” above named is the rail- road that ieads from Augusta to Atlanta. This road also crosses the Oconee river at a peint about 30 miles above Miltedgeville, and about 90 miles west of Augusta. “The country be- tween Warrenton and Sparts,’’ spoken of above as “one universal bog;” lies on both sides of the Ogeechee river, a considerable stream, which flows parallel to the Oconee and Savannah Tivers, and about midway between them. The Ogeechee, we believe, is pretty generally fiunked by marshes. The army of Sherman came down from At- Janta between the Oconee and the Ocmulgee Tivers, the two streams which, & hundred miles from the coast, form the Altamaha. The general direction of these rivers is south-south- east. The Ocmulgee is the more westerly. Macon ison the west bank of the Ocmulgee, so that to occupy it, Sherman would have had to cross that stream. Milledgeville being on the west side of the Oconee, interposed no such difficulty to its occupation. A march upon Savannah or Augusta implies the crossing of both the Oconee and Ogeechee rivers. It is at the crossing of the former to which the above operations refer. If Augusta and Savannah both be avoided, and an intermediate line leading to Charleston be adopted, it will in- volve the crossing also of the Sayannah, the Compahee and the Edisto rivers, besides nu- merous smaller streams. The Invasion of Georgia. {From the Richmond Sentinel, Dec. 2.] Our exchanges up to Saturday last, the latest dates received at the time ot writing this, are exceedingly communicative cf movements of -ar Own troops and Generals, but know com- paratively little of the movements of Sherman. The situation of his main force is alleged to be positively a mystery. The movements that they chronicle seem to be but feints or feelers, and with small bodies of troops. The suspicion they express is, that these ex- hibitions upon his flanks are intended by Sher- man to mask his main army, and to conceal the march which they suppose itto be making upon Savannah or Brunswick. The latter town is on a fine harbor upon the Atlantic coast, about twenty miles south ofthe mouth of the Altamaha. The forces which have come to the north of the Oconee are al- leged to be but very few in number and to be limited in their operations to reconnoitering purposes. Meanwhile, Sherman is supposed to be moving down behind the Oconee, which he need not cross at all if Brunswick be his goal. His course in that case would be to cross the Ocmulgee, near its mouth, and move down be- hind or south of Altamaha. We extract some sentences of news from papers whose ideas we have been reproducing in the above. {From the Augusta Chronicle.) Gentlemen connected with scouting parties up the Augusta and Atlanta Railroad arrived from Greensboro’, under date of November 28, report as follows:—There is no enemy north of the line of the Georgia Railroad, nor any this side or east of the Oconee River. A party of Yankees passed through Green county on Sunday. This is the greatest number that has ever been seen this side of the Oconee. The rumor that an enrolling officer in Green' county was killed is not correct. Abouta thousand Yan- kee cavalry have been encamped for the past few days at Reid’s Mill, between Eatonton and Waller’s Ferry. Negro scouts report that they speak of moving to anothersection. Much roperty has been destroyed in Jasper and utnam, such as mills, gins, houses and some corn cribs and dwelling houses. It was thought in Sparta on Wednesday that the enemy’s cay- alry and infantry were moving down the Oc- onee towards the coast. It is the current opinion up the road that Sherman’s army is meving down between the Oconee and Oc- mulgee rivers. We have information that the enemy’s cav- alry, six thousand to seven thousand strong, is moving on Sparta. They encamped ator near Deveretux’s last Thursday night, about seven miles west of Sparta. Another column is moving from Milledgeville with artillery, It passed Oconee, and pursuing the road leading through Washington county, by way of San- dersville, will strike the Central Railroad bout Station No. 14. = This is in 8 direct line to Savannah from Milledgeville. A column, supposed to be Slocum's, numbering from two to three thous- and infantry, is reported to be moving, in con- junction with the cavalry above mentioned, on Sparta. At Sparta there are two roads, one leading to Augusta, via Mayfield. and the other to Sandersville. It is probably that after ravaging the country about Sparta it willcom- bine columns moving on the road to Savan- mh Sherman & Co. {From the Richmond Whig, Dec. 2.} It does not seem that our authorities hadany suspicion of the movement of Hood, or they would have acted differently. At least we Judge eo from the very feeble opposition which has thus far been made to the advance of Sher- man, It is plain that he is moving tothe coast, and that so far he has been enabled tolive upon the country. We think it probable that Sher- man will the Atlantic in comparative safety. His next move, in our opinion, will be by sea to Richmond. We do not believe that he can succeed in taking either Augusta or Sa- vannah. Indeed should he succeed in captur- ing the first named place, it will do him no goed, since he will find there nothing he was seeking. At the Iast named, he will have to fight, and that he is very wellaware of, and does not wish to do before securing a base upon the URarles- ton sea coast, which for the presentat least, we take to be entirely out of the question, should he determine to secure himselfon sea,and thence issue during the winter to ravage the country, or to carry On Aregular winter campaign, he must be Kept in. as we su) he can. In the meantime abandons an immense tract of country in moving Over which it is impossible that his army, situated on the ocean and close- ly watched, can exercise any infinence for ood orevil. Wedo not see that Sherman’s jast exploits will have any effect upon the is- sue of the war. But after having been told by the highest an- thority in the Confederacy that his retreat from Atlanta was to be more disastrous than the re- treat of Napoleon from Moscow, itis a little yYexatious to find him getting offso cheaply, burning and murdering as he goes. Sherman's Army well Previsioned. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicic has a letter from & member of the Georgia Legislature, who fled from Milledgeville and was along the track pursued by Sherman's army. While berating Sherman for helping himself to food for his troops, he virtually admits that Sherman was abundantly able to victuatehim- self off the country, and that his troops cen wasteful of theirover-abundant supplies, @ Bays: “The country below here to the Oconee river roads was strewn with the debris of their progress, dead horses, cows, sheep, hogs, chick- ens, corn, wheat, cotton. There wasaoproyo- cation for any of these acts, for everybody treated them civilly, offering them all they wanted toeat. Theirexcuse is that they can- not control their men. Many of them inclu- ding their officers. behaved civilly, and my humble domicile escaped any serious depreda- tions. hose citizens who remained at home and watched their premises, lost little save horses, food and stock. Those who, from any cause, chanced to be away, lost all.” FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. Late Movements of Gen, Foster—Capture t of Pocotalige Bridge—Large Qua: Cot! Destroyed—Keported Commanic tion with Gen, Sherman—Rumor of Lee Marching Against Him—Another Bleck- ade Runner Destroyed. New York, Dec. 4.—The Hilton Head cor- respondence of the Herald says Gen. Fos- ter lately proceeded up the Broad river with &n expedition, and landed five miles below Po- cotaligo bridge, and marched on and captured the bridge after a sharp fight, the rebels evyac- nating. A large quantity of cotton was found and destroyed. It is supposed the rebel force along the coast has been materially lessened, to con- concentrate the force against Sherman. The naval correspondent of the Herald, off Charleston, states that the blockade-runner Beatrice was run ashore and destroyed on the night of the 27th ult. Thirty of the crew were captured. Admiral Dahlgren and Gen. Foster are in communication with Gen. Sherman, who is supposed tobe moving on Sayannanh, and a joint force has been organized to co-operate with him while other expeditions are moving on other importantstrategic points. It is reported on shore that Lee is marching against Sherman.
