NA8sRAVILLE, Dec. 0.—An officer ot General Roesean’s staff, just {rom the headquarters of General Thomas, arrived last night. Uur forces were then at Spring Hill, near Columbia. The remaant of Hood’s army was at Duck river, which he was crossing as tast as possible. All our wounded Jeft in Frank- lin were recaptured, also the rebel severely wounded, including ‘teneral Quarles, of Ten- nessee, formerly supervisor of the banks in this State. Yesterday mornixg General Hatch captured tbree guns from the rebel cavalry at Spring Hill.

OrncinnaTi, Dec. 19.—The day opened cloudy, with indications of rain. There was adenee fog at an early hour, but this soon cleared away, and et eight o'clock we were able to determine the enemy’s position. During the nightof the 14th, Hood withdrew both his wings from the river, contracted his lineseverywhere, and was holding a strong position slong Granny White Hills, wih his certre protected by two lines of entrench- ments. Our own troops were disposed in the follow- ing ordex: Wilson's cavalry was on the ex- treme right Schofield’s 23d corp’, consisting of Couch’s and Cox's divisions, was at first held in reserve, but before the main battle opened, it had to take aposition on the left of the cavalry, thus forming the rightof our in- fantry line. A. J. Smith’s 16th corps, con+ sisting of the division of McArthur, Garrard, and Moore, came next on the leftot Schofield. On the Jeft of Smith the magniticent ith corps, General T. J. Wood commanding, comprising the divisions of Kimball, Elliott, and Sam Beatty, was formed In close order of battle, and partially massed. Steadman,,with Croft's division aud two brigades of colored troops, held the extreme left. Qur plan of battle was a continuance of the 15th, in pressing the advantage gained on the enemy's left. Atabout half-past eight o'clock our batieries opened from & hundred pieces simultaneously along the whole line. The rebel artillery replied feebly, Schofield, warching down Granny White pike, carefully concealing his scent pecs his corps direct- Vy upon the enemy's lett flank. Steadman at the eame time worked ws force forward. The enemy jn the meaniime strengthened his advance fine. It was determined to carry this line without delny. Kimball's Ist division moved forward to the charge, firing volley after volley, but still steadily pressed on until within haif a pistol shot, when the enemy's fire became so deadly that our men, in order to return it more eilectuaily.came to the «halt ” They remained here, perhaps, longer than any troops éver remained in such a position. They stood and fired fast and furious at the enemy, but they could not remain and live. A few gave way und fled in disorder, and the whole lime staggered,and had the rebels done nothing more than kept up their deadly tire, we shonld have been driyen back; but they made a move- ment to shift their artillery, which our men received as an indication that they were about to abandon their lines andretire. Raising a loud shout, the division, with fixed bayonets, rushed immediately forward, and swarming over the works captured such rebels as had not fied. They had time to get two guus away, but the rest fellinto our hands. As econ as this preliminary success was achieved, General Thomas, who was seen during the day in the very front of the the line of battle, ordered a charge along the entire line. Schofield moved on the left flank of the enemy, Ag before his veterans the rebels gaye way like Mostwork. The agsailed flank crombled to pieces as Schofield advanced, and rolled back upon that portion of the ling which was just now at- tacked by A.J. Smith’s troops with a wi and energy nothing could withstand. Mc} lan’s brigade, foremost in the battle, as on the previous day, rushed right up in the very teeth of three powerful rebel batteries, and car- ried it atthe point of the bayonet the salient point ot the enemy’s works. Ina few moments their works were éverywhere overwhelmed, their forces utterly routed, their soldiers cap- tured by thousands and every piece of their artillery was in our hands. Such as escaped death or capture fled to- wards Franklin pike, to a refnge benind A. D. Lee’s corps, which held the gap in the hills. Wood and Steadman had now united on the left, and prepared to assault the rebel right which was still unbroken. Under eoyerofa tremendous fire trom our guns, Volone! Post’s brigade moved forward. Straight’s brigade of Sam. Beatty’s division, formed oh his right. In support, immediately on Post’s left, Tho- mas’s colored brigade was drawn up, and orean’s colored brigade was next on the eft. * The enemy reserved his fire until Post's brig- ade commenced climbing the hill, when a per fect hurricane of shot, shell, and: canister tore through Bis ranks. In the tace of this. fire our men peevlly. advanced. The. colored troops vied with the white in the persistency with which they forced their way up the hill. Thompson’s men, in endeavoring to pass around to the left, met a terrible flank fire, which confused their ranks. Phe troops on the Tight, torne in pieces by the fire, paused an in- stant, and atthis juncture tha brave Colonel Post was mortally wounded. Ina momentall order was lost, and our men, whose éonduct had immortalized thei, rushed bael, confused and bleeding, to the line from which they started. Wood soon reformed his broken bat- talions and issued orders for the renewal of the assault, while Post’s yeterans again as- sailed the hill directlys and Thompson’s Africans moved on the rebel right. Elliott’s and Kimball's divisions were hurled like a thunderbolt against the rebel left. Wood himee]f, accompanied by all his staif, followed and directed the charge. The rebel force blazed forth anew, and our soldiers, without hesitation or panic, carried the entire works ‘witn all their guns, and drove the rebels in dismfy from the hill.

SOUTHERN NEW The Siege of mnah—Railreads Con- t y Sherman Hardee's Pesition at Sava: he {From the Charleston Mercary, Dec. 13.} _ Sherman bas been pressing steadily towards Savannah. Our troops had fallen back to the junction of the Georgia Ventral and Charleston and Savannah Ratiroads, about three miles from the city. Atthis important point. which com= mands both roads, General Hardee took hit stand. It was confidently reported yesterday, and we think correctly, that Sherman's forces were in Hardee’s front, and that, a demand for the surrender of the city having been refused, heary fighting ensued, and was going on yester- day. Of the result, however, if any, Bo news whatever has reached us. We may hearsome- thing to-day. The community of Savannah seem firm and quiet. For the present the trains will cease to Tun through between the two cities. Gen. Gartrell states that for several days he observed frequent signals between the Federal forces towards Port Royal and Sherman’s forces in the direction of Sister's Ferry, onthe Savannah. The impression of scouts was that Sherman was crossing & corps at the Ferry, and would co-operate with Foster’s forces in opening the way to Port Royal. Neo Fighting at Sava: h since the Capture of Fort) iPter. From the Richmond Dispatch, Dec. e have no news from Sherman which was not published yesterday. He has captured Fort McAllister and invested Savannan on the No fighting has yet occurred. trolled and Managed by Sherman. [From the Angusta Register, Dec. 11.) It Was stated in this city yesterday that the Federals have possession of the Savannah, Al. bapy and Gult railroad. It 1s also said that they captured a passenger train on the same, Among the persons taken was R. R. Cayler, Esq, president of the road. It ig also reported that the Yinkees have pos- session of the Charleston and Savannah rail- road bridge over the Savannan river. Sherman. Governor Brown, of Georgia, gives us the sequel of Shermans march. He denqunves the robbers, not of the Union army, but of equads of deserters from the rebel army, who are, as he asserts, wandering Over the State, im pressing horses, mules and provisions with. out authority, and for their private use The Governor authcrizes anybody who can to shoot these marauders, who number, as he says, “a large part of the rebel cavalry force,” and are scattered “over nearly half the territory of the State.” A Sonthern paper reported 4 few days ago the desertion of one entire regiment, with @ colonel at its head. When General Sherman arrived in front of Savannab, after having marched three hun- dred miles, his troops living meanwhile on the very bestof provisions, he had with him a drove of twelve hundred cattle, though he started from Atlanta with twohundred. He also gatbered up on the way over seven thon- sand negroes, and so many horses, muies and ‘wagons as toembarrass him. His army, dar- ing a considerable portivn of the march, ex- tended over asweep of country sixty miles in breadth, as much as forty miles at times inter- vening bétween the right wing of one column and the left of the other, put communication was at all times kept up between the two. The whole lossin wen from the time of leaving Atlanta ull the arrival in front of Savannah, trom wounds, sickness, capture, straggling, and all other causes, was only aboot ene thoa- eand. The average daily march was about twelve miles. By the capture of Fort McAt. lister thirty guns are reported taken, and about three hundred prisoners. south and west.
