Diz, New York: Official despatches from Gen. Canby have been received to-day, showing the complete success of an expedition sent by him from Vicksburg to co-operate with Gen. Sherman's operations, and cut Hood’s ¢ommunications with Mobile. Gen. Canby also reports the probable success of another expedition from Baton Rouge, under command ot (en. David- son, the details and objectot which it is not proper now to disclose. When last heard from, Davidson was reported as haying caused quite a panic in Mobile, and devastating the country generally. Lieut, Col. Earl, oom- manding & special party, was severely wound- ed, and fell into the hands of the enemy at Fay- ette, Miss. The Richmond papers of to-day confirm the yeported captare of Brfstol, by an expedition supposed to be under command of Generals Stoneman and Barbridge; also the surpriseand capture of the Glades Spring depot on therail- road, thirteen miles south of Abingdon. They uleo contain General Hoods official report of the battle of Franklin, in which he acknowl- edges the loss of ‘‘many galiant officers and brave men,” among whom heenumerates Major General Cleburne, and Brigadier Generals John Williams, Adams, Geist, Strahl, and Granbury, killed. Major General Jno. Brown, and Brigadier Generals S. Carter, Manignault: (Quarles, Uockerell, and Scott, wounded, and Brigadier General Gorden, captured, They also state thaton Wednesday, Generai Sherman carried Fort McAllister, commanding the entrance to Ogeechee river, by storm; that the capture of this position puts Sherman in communication with the Yankee fleet, and necessitates the reinforcement of Savannah. The despatches of General Canby, 80 far as proper for publication, and the extracts from tne Riehmond papers, giving Hvcd’s official reports of the battle at Franklin, and oar suc- cese in Southwestern Virginin and Georgia, 18 eubjoined. Upto this hour—’.30 p. m.— nothing has been heard from Nashyilie, since last night, and nothing from General Sherman later than the Richmond newspaper report of the capture of Fort McAllister on Wednesday. Epwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. NEw ORLEANS, La., Vec. 9, 1°61—On the 25th ultimo'l reported that movemeun's co-operative with General Sherman’s operitions would be made from Vicksburg and Baton Kouge, ror the purpose of cutting Hood’s commuuications with Mobile.. The expedition sent from Vicks- burg, and consisting of about 2,000 cavalry and tight pieces of artillery, commanded by Vol. ©. L. Ostrand, 3d colored cavalry, retarned on the 4th instant, having met with a complete success. After an admirably executed flank movement on Jackson, on the 21th, the expedi- tion started for the Big Black bridge, on the Mississippi Central raitroad, which was reached on the 27th, and after a stubborn re- sistance, captured and destroyed. This cuts Hood’s army off from the large quantities ef eupplies and stores accumulated at Jackson, Mississippi, and makes that raiiroad, which was his main reliance, unavailable to him for months to come. Besides this important bridge and trestle- work, the following property was completely destroyed: Thirty miles of track, incleding culverts, wagon bridge over the Big Black, Vaughn, Pickett, and Goodman stations, rail- roag@ depots and buildings, 2,600 bales of cotton, two locomotives, four cars, fourstage-coaches, twenty barrels of salt, $166,000 worth of stores at Vaugnn’s station. The expedition was considerably harassed on its return by large bodies of the enemy’s troops, but suffered no material losses, aud brought back more recruits than the entire loss in eitec- tive men. Major J. B. Cook, commanding the 3d cay alry, distinguished himself and his command wreatly by the gallantry with whieh the force guarding the Big Black bridge was driven off trom behind their strong stockade on the oppo- site side of the river. Our men had to charge across the bridge dismounted, with nothing bat railroad ties fora path, and in the face of & sharp fire. I have announced Major Cook in general or- ders as promoted to the vacant lieut. colo elcy of the r+giment, snbdject to the approval of the Presiaent. E/R. Cansy, Major Gen’. Crry Pont, VA., Dec, 16, 1961.—Lieut. Gen. U, 8. Geant, Washington, D. C. ha Richamond Dispatch of to-day, after fully confirming the previous reports of the capiure of Bristol, states that “the enemy then advanced up the railroad towards Abingdon, which we pre- sume fe} into their hande, though we have no information of the fact. The next we hear of them they bad, at 9 o’clock yesterday morning, pounced down on Glades Spring, a depot on the railroad, 13 miles this side of Abingdon, tukirg every one there by surprise, and cap- turing all the railroad employees except one, who managed to escape to tell the tafe. At last accounts the enemy were pushing up the railroad in the direction of Marion, which is twenty-seven miles this side of Abingdon. “This is a raid in Breckinridge’s rear, the Taiders, Jeaving his forces somewhere in the neighborhood of Knoxville, came up the north side of the Holstomriver and crossed over to Bristol. one party proceeding to Bristol and the other to Abinedon. If unchecked, it is likely they will come up the railroad even as faras Raton, and thence escape to Kanawha by the ronte followed by Hunter last summer. “It is unknown who isin command of this expedition, but it looks very. much like some ot Stoneman’s galloping work. None of the des- Peicnes Tectived say anytning avout Saltyille. 1 itis unprotected it has doubtless been visited by the enemy. If however, there were any troops there, the Yankees were apt to fight shy of it, aud confine their cperations to the raii- Tead. “The Battle of nklin, “Genera! Hood’s official report of the battle of Franklin has at last been received. It will be seen erg Bipods eecrdinary loss of eneral officers is but too true. @ followin f General Hood’s despatch : ono wine “HEADQUARTERS ARNY OF TENNESSEE, SIX Miles FROM NASHVILLE, Dec, 8, 1363, via Mose, 9th.—To Hon. J. A, Seddon: About4 o'clock p. m., November 30, we attacked the enemy at Franklin, and drove them from their center line of temporary works into the inner lines, which they evacuated during the night, leaving their dead and wounded in our pos session, and retired to Nashville, closely fol- Jowed by our cavalry. We captured several stands of colors, and about one thousand pris- overs, ré «Qur troops fought with great gallantry. We have to lament the lossof many gallant officers and brave men. Major General Cle- burne, Brigadier Generals John Williams, Ad- ams, Grist, Strahl, and Granbury were killed. Major General John Brown and Brigadier Generals T. Carter, Manignauit, Quarles, Cockereil, an@ Scott were wounded. Briga- dier General Gordon was caprured 3.

Itis probable the raiders separated, | fix miles from the Ossabaw Sound. The cap- ture of this position puts Sherman in commu- nication with the Yankee fleet. Without at- tempting any military criticism, we cannot ‘withhold the opinion that the exposing 100men to the assault of Sherman’s whole army was a piece of extravagance thatour present military resources do not seem to warrant.” The Examiner has the following: “Fort McAllister commands the entrance to Ogeechee river, and has prevented the enemy heretofore from ascending the river. We be- lteve there are other works further up the stream which would render the navigation of the stream by the enemy extremely uncomfort- able. The fallof Fort McAllister does not by apy means involve the loss of Savannah, but ‘will necessitate the reinforcement of the troops defending the city. “AtGlades Spring the enemy captured an epgire and fourteen flats, with some railroad hancs. On thesea party of men were mounted and sent up the road towards Marion, and a despatch from the operator telle that they were, at 20’clock, within a mile of that place. Their object is easily divined—itis to barn the bricge over the Holston, and break the road, to prevent troops from being sent down the line by steam to reinforce Saltville. ‘To Saltville the main body will undoubt- edly go. in all human probability has already gone There are some fortifi.ations at Salt- ville, and some reserves, what nambers we do not know. If these can check them by any sacrifice, reinforcements will soon put the place out of darger. At present, it is certain- ly in very great danger. « Joun A.

A New :Expedition—Its Departure from Fortress Monroe—Where is it Going, {Correspondence New York Times.) Orr Carr HENRY, Doc. 12.—A large naval fleet, accompanied with land forces in trans- ports lett Hampton Roads this morning, steer- ing in a southerly direction. The major portion of the army transports left during the night. As this writing the flagship Malvern and several of the iarger vessels of the fleet are in the Roads, but as the sailing orders have been signalled, they will probably get under way in a short time. The iron-clads attached to the fleet were the firstto move. The single-turreted monitors go outin tow of steamers. The New Ironsides and the double-turreted monitor Monadnock propel themselves. Thus far we have been favored with fine weather—a light wind blowing from off shore —although indications seem to point toa north- easter before we arriveat our jourdey’s end. Onr place of destination will be made kaown totbe public atthe proper time. Suffice it to Temark, that ample preparations have been provided to warrant a formidable attack upon ibe enemy’s works. In all probability a few days hence will give me an opportunity of sending you fuli and in- leresting details of the expedition. ARMY OF THE PoTOmaAc.

Great Naval Expediti: (Correspondence of the Baltimore Amerioan | ON Board THE UNITED Srares Sreawe SantiaGo DE Cuba, HaMPTON Roaps. Dec. 12 Sp. m., I+61.—Thronugh the kind courtesy of Rear Admiral Porter, I have been parmitted to accompany the ,reat naval and lani force about to take its departure from this harbor to operate against an important point on the Sonth- ero coast; and have been assigned acoommoda- tons on board the splendid steamer Santiago de Cuba, Captain O. S. Glisson. As I write, all appears to be ready for astart, certainly itis 80 on board our ship, and Capt. G. is only waiting the signal to get ander way. Orders have been issued to keep a bright look- out on the flagship for the signal, but as the gale has not yet blown itselfout, we shall prob- &bly not get off for some hours yet. Meanwhile I will occupy my time in endeay- oring to give your readers some accountof this great armada; but its destination and the plans arranged for operations, although fully known, must not at present be stated, lest by a prema- ture publication of the same important tnfor- mation should be communicated to the enemy. Suffice it, therefore, for the present, to say that the expedition is no doubt by far the largest in tonnage, class of ships, and weight of metal ot armament, that has yet been sent against the enemy. The fleet, inclading transports and tenders, will number not Jess than one hundred and fitty vessels of all grades. By far the largest portion of the fleet has already satied. That portion now here embraces, however, the Jarger and most important vessels and the army transports. The entire expeditien is ander command of Rear Admiral D. D. Porter, whose name and fame,in connection with the many brilliant operations on the Mississippi aad ite trinata- ties during this war,is s0 familiar to your readers that I need do nothing more than men- tion it. The co-operating land force, numbering about —— thousand men, is under command of General Batler. iS The naval porticn of the fleet—that ‘is, the war vessels proper—number sixty-five, ine cluding the ijargest and most powerfal vessels in the navy. The fleet is divided into five di- visions, the iron-clads forming one, and the wooden hulls formed into four others, with @ large reserve torce of smaller vessels. The names of ihese vessels are as follows: Jron-clads.—Ironsides 20 guns, Canonicas, 2 guns; Mahopac, 2gunst; Monadnock, two tar- Tets, 4 guns; Saugus, 2 guns.
