CINCINNATI, Dec.3.—Major General Stanley who was wounded in the battle of Franklin, arrived bere yesterday. says the reports of the battle that have reached the public haye not been exaggerated. The rebels met with their heaviest losses in attacking our trains, which were of enormous size and value, and filled the road for twelye miles. It was not intended that Franklin should be held longer than was necessary to get our property out of the way. The rebels had been pressing us very hard from Columbia, and at onetime we were in greatdanger. Hood lost his portunity by not attacking in force at SpringHill. Schofield’s army consisted of the 4th and 23d corps, to- gether with a few regiments which had recent- syentered the service. They left Pulaski on the 23d of November, and were so closely pressed thatat times it was thought that the artillery wagon trains would Haye to be aban- doned, but by good management they were all brought through safely. General Stanley has been in nearly all the battles of Tennessee and Georgia, but he says that the musketry fire at Franklin was for an hour the most intense he ever witnessed; ba- sides this,we had twenty-eight guns in action, with fallsweep ofthe rebel columns, A despatch to the Commercial from Nash- ville says Murfreesboro, Bridgeport, and Chat- tanooga, are safe. Nashville and the surround- ing country for miles have been converted into huge forts. The destraction of rebel property to facilitate the defense of the city has been immense. Almost all the rich property-holders hereabouts are rebel sympathizers. The ad- yarce of the rebel army has necessitated the destruction of property. The Federal position is perfectly satisfactory.

Savannah Dates te December 1—W hat the Enemy are Doing—Promise of Impor- tant Movements—Foster’s Advance in South Carolina—The Late Battle There— A ‘Drawn Battle’? Claimed—Another Fight Anticipated. [From the Savannah Republican, Dec. 1 | The whereabonts of Sherman's main body has been eatisfactorily ascertained, and his moyements yesterday indicated anything but decision ef purpose asjto his destination, With- out entering into particulars, we would simp- ly say that the signs are that many people who have been unduly alarmed at the idea of his taking them in his line of march, will be agree- ably disappointed. Important movements are on foot to meet him wherever he may go, but these will be developed at the proper time. Gen. Wheeler manages Kilpatrick with all ease, and with less force has whipped and driven him in every engagement. Hehas taken one stand of colors, which is evidence of the vigor with which he has preesed him Severe Battle in Carolina—Its probable re- newal. {From the Savannah Repnblican, Dec. 1.) In our issue of yesterday we mentioned the fact that a considerable force of the enemy had landed frem transports in Broad river, and were advancing on the railroad in the dirsc- tion of Grahamyille. During the night wehod transported an eilective force to that point, which, uniting with that already on the ground, marched forward yesterday, under the com- mand of Major General Gustayus Smith, of the Georgia State troops, to meet the enemy. The enemy, numbering as near as could be judged five thousand men, with sixteen pieces of artillery, attacked General Smith at a place called Honey Hill, three miles east of the vil- lage of Grahamyille, at 11 o’clock a.m. Our strength consisted of fourteen huudred mus- kets and four pieces ofartillery. Wehadsome few embrasures for open batteries, and slight entrenchments on the rightand left, but our line was necessarily extended, owing to the superiority of the enemy in numbers, andmuch of it was both light and unprotegted. This, however, only emboldened our men to greater deeds, and they fought the battle throughout with an energy and resolution worthy of vet- erans. The fight lasted until dark, and the enemy made seyeral desperate charges against our line, but it stood firm. and repulsed every at- tack, finally driving back the enemy’s right and centre, but their left stood unmoved at the close of the action. For four or five hours these men maintiined the fight without relief. Late in the day Gen. Robertsen arrived with the 3zd Georgia, a battery of artillery, and a company of cavalry, in time to render most- effective aid. Night.came in to close the en- gagement, which was conducted with vigor on both sides. Thus far it may be setdown asa drawn battle, though in view of the great dise parity of numbers the honors of the day are certainly due to the Confederates. We have been unable to learn the details of Gen. Smith’s forge though itis believed that the Georgia militia constituted thy greater por- tion of them. . t Onur loss was between S0 and@100 killed and ‘wounded; the enemy’s loss ‘s officially reporte ed to be much greater. Last night seven or eight transports loaded with reinforcements, were reported going up road nver, which gives assurance that the tight will be renewed to-day.

TARY OF Secretary Welles commences his perspicnous : Teport of the condition And affairs of the Navy Departmert with a general review of the nayay operations of the past year, enabling the reader to take a comprehensive survey of the impor- tant work accomplished by the Navy Depart. ment in suppressing the rebellion. The Secietary refers to the difficulties atteng- ing the blockade of Wilmington; that although the Government has closed or taken possession of every other port om the Southern coast, Uape Fear river from various natural causes is more difficult to blockade than any other pert. The opportunity for a joint naval ard military op- eration to insure its capture has not yet pre- sented itselt. The Secretary refers in terms of pes oe “cupidity of English mer- s,"’ who are engaged in “illi 5)” With the Sonth. oars eee The cperations of the Western Gulf Squad- ron Are adverted to. The military possession Of the several ports of Texas was of short du- ration, and the guarding of the coast has, since the {th of Septembe,r devolved exclusively upon the navy under Rear Admiral Farra- oe Aviveniaree attending the «re- ure” of the cia. fortsin Mobile Bay The operations of the “East Gulf Ss ” and ihe “South Atlantic squadcou™ eee J tioned. The city of Charleston “fails to become either a naval or commercial emporium, and has dragged down others withontelevating herself, and is fast becoming a waste.” < The “North Atlantic Squadron” exceeds that of ony other im the number of men and vessels employed, and its operations for the last year in James river and on the North Carolina coast are mentioned. The “Mississippi Squadron” was created to operate upon the interior rivers. The failure of the conjoint naval and military expedition up the Red river is aecribed to the natural ob- siacles which intervened. The «Potomac Flotilla” hag been engaged in arresting the contraband trade across the Poto- mae Tiyer, and in patroling the Rappahan- nock. ‘Tbe operations of the “Pacific Squadron” and the + West India Squadron,” actipgas convoys to merchant vessels, guano vessels, and Uali- fornia steamers, are given in the report. The «Piratical cruisers, English built ana English mapped,” which baye preyed upon American commerce arenamed. Tbe destrac- tion of the Alabama is referred to, and the condnct of her commander, after surrender, severely denounced. The operations of the longs, Georgia, and Tallabasse are men- tioned. . ‘The remainder of the report, which makesa volume of 45 pages, is occumed with a state- ment of the*Navei force,” and the vessels now being built.

The number of vessels constructed IMG}, the na since March 4, 1+61, are 303, carrying 1,631 guns, and having a tonnage of 247,974. The Secretary says “the present contract system is open fo many and sr rious operations, and suggests, whether it would not be for the true interest of the Government to relinquish the system of annual contracts altogether, and authorize purchases to be made by agents of probity, &c. The Government is seldom bene- fitted by a rise in prices, tor while the law compels its agents to pursue a definite course otaction, the contractor generally finds little difficulty in evading penalties and abandoning a losing contract.” The Secretary earnestly recommends the re- peal of the 7th section of the act of July 2d, i$64, which Authorizes the naval officer seiz- ing or taking property to send it to the corrts or turn itoyer to the treasury agent. Noone but the naval seizer has this option—all others. must turn it over to the treasury agent. ‘An increase in the salaries of clerical force is recommended by the Secretary, be says, “with some reluctance, and only under a sense of its absolute necessity at this time.” The total available means of the Depart- Ment for the year ending June 30. 1561, were 115,765,537 70. The expenditures during the same period wee $85,733,292 77. Balance at the commencement of the present fiscal year, S50, 493. The appropriations for the cur- rent year aré $169,256,814 54.

The personnel of the navy is stated to be about 6,000 officers and 45,000 men. The Secretary concludes his interesting report with some general remarks im relation te the distribution and employment of our maritime force, which, including the additions to it now in progress, and near completion, he says con- stitutes, for all the purposes of defense, if not of attack and conquest, the most powerful navy in the world. FINANCIAL,—Last evening's New York Post sBys: Gold opened at 230 \¢, and after selling at 229 ¥, rose to 252, closing atz3uy¥. Exchange is flatat 1094 for specie. The loan market shows daily increasing symptoms of ease. Att per cent. lenders are scarcely able to place their fonds at callon good securities. There are, however, a few excep= tional transactions at 7, Commercial paper is dull at former rates. Railroad shares are irregular, Hudson River being the weakest, aud Pittsburg and Rock ise land the strongest on the list. The etock market is dull, but, though inert at present, it gives some indications of returning activity. The renewed upward movement in the price of all descriptions of government securities is the principal topic of discussion in Wall street. This advance indicates the gratifying improve- ment of the national credit, and is due to the demand both from abroad and from our own people. The conviction is every day gaining ground that at present prices our national se- curities offer to investors attractions which are not found in the most lucrative railroad secu- rities. The New York Commercial Advertiser says: The chief feature of the market is tae re- markably active demand for Government gold- bexring bonds, based upon the supposition that no more will be issued. There are indications that certain parties are operating upon informa- ticn as to the recommendations in Secretary Fesserden’s report, which, trom the largeness of their purchases, is construed as confirming the rumor that no more gold-bearing bonds will be iseued. At the board the sales of tive- twenties amounted to £615,000, and the transac- tions on the street were probably five times that amount. United States Mint—The gold deposits from all sources at the United States Mint, for the month of November, aigounted to $961,915 69, and the silver deposits for the same time to $30,614 49, giving a total of $992,580 80. The gold coinage for the month, nearly ali in double eagle. was *9),971 42, and of silver, nearly all in haif dollars, was $43.223 31. The cent coin- age was $56,100, and the twe-cent coinage $62,000—in all, of copper. $119,000, ‘The total value of the coinage of all kinds for the month is $1,054,194 76, which is represented by 8,085,292 pieces, of which number 8,755,000 were one and two cent copper pieces. Eight and three- quarter millicns of coppers in a month, and scarcely one in circulation! CAPTURED SLAVES TO BE SoLp.—The Pro vostMarshal of Richmond publishes a long list of slaves, in pursnance of a general order ‘to protect the rights of owners of slaves taken by or or employed in the army.” The list includes a number whose owners residesin Missouri, _ ‘Tennesse,fand portions of Georgia rot in poe. session of the rebels. Maryland is represented in the list by “Geo. Thomas, black, commitied July 7, 1864, 15 years of age, and beiongs to ‘Ma: r Peters, Ellicott’s Miils, Maryland.” Washington city has also a representation iz the person of ‘Lewis Degleck,black, committed October 23, 1544, 50 years ot age, arrested insthe Valley of 'V irginia,and belongs to Ned Gryme: Washington city, District of Columbia.” Thi advertisement concludes with the request that all persons desiring to inspect the said slaves tor the purpose of identifying them will ap- ply atthe said prison; and claimants wishing to establish ownership will apply with the ‘ proof thereof to this oflice.” —The Boston papers of FEMALE Prints printers belonging to the combination has led to the engagement of women, has thus far proved that the; workmen who have hitherto debarred them trom the adopted female com thal given to women in any aad experience are equal to the best situations. “By the scale of prices porttors can earn from $1i r week.
