THE EVENING STAR. | W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Prepricter. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY .sceee.. JANUARY 13, 1565. THE RECENT BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN IN TENNESSEE. a Official Dispatches from Admiral Lee and General Thomas—Hood’s Shattered id Demeralized Army Owes its Escape Dense pene ie of Heod’s mense Losses—Gen. Thomas Tenders his he Navy for Aiding in the De- f{ Hood’s Army. See ‘The Navy Department has recelved the fol- lowing interesting dispatches : Miseissirri Sqvapkon, Flag-ship Fairy, Olifton, Tenn., Jan. 3. 1565.-Sir:—Intelligent escaped prisoners report that Hood crossed the Tennessee at Bainbridge, six miles above Florence, above Little Muscle Shoals, and at the toot of Big Muscle Shoals. Florence is the head of steamboat navigation, ard there Hood crossed last fall, securing his pontoons to the piers of the railroad bridge. Gen. Jackson crossed either at the military ferry, one mile below Florence, or above the Muscle Shoais. Bainbridge is not a Yregalar ferry. The rebels boasted to the escaped pris- oners that the gunboats could not cross the shoals to reach them; and my pilot declared it was impracticable for the enemy to cross there, Owing to the swift water, or for me to get there with the Neosho, drawing five feet, owing to ‘the swift and shallow water on the Little Muscle Shoals, which are rocky, uneven and Gangerous. I made a reconnoissance, however, and be- lieve I shovld have succeeded in reaching Bainbridge with an effective force, capable of destroying Hood's pontoons, in spite of all op- Position he could make, had not the sudden and rapid fall of the river, and the prevalence of a fog, constrained the pilot to decline going on Little Muscle Shoals. I am eratified to enclose a copy of General Thomss’ !ast dispatch, dated December 30th, | in which he is kind enough to say that the efficient co-operation of the Navy on the Ten- meseee brs contributed largely to the demor- alization of Hood’s army, and the General ten- ders his hearty thanks for the cordial co-operae tion of the Navy during the last thirty days. In this important and brief campaign the fol- lowing great results have been achieved: 14,000 killed, wounded. and prisoners; 19 Gen- eral officers, do., do., do.; 70 guns taken by the army, besides two guns destroyed by the Navy: over 3,(40 stand of smal! arms captured, fifteen or twenty ammunition wagons aban- doned, and a great quantity of ammunition destroyed. Gen. Smith informs me he never knew such bad weather, &c. as Gen. Thomas encountered in the pursuit of Hood. Gen. Croxton, of the cavalry, makes the same report of the bad con- dition of the Toads. Hood is indebted to the safety of his shattered army to the worst de- scription ot winter weather and roads, and to cressing the shoals when the river was falling fast,andinafog It is confidently predicted thst he will not again attempt to crogs the Tenneesee river. I onght to mention that the destruction of | pontoons and ferry fiats at Garner's Ferry, 12 | Tiles below Florence, and, indeed, all along the river from the vicinity of Johnsonville to Fierence, a distance of 175 miles, has cut off | the retreat of Hood's demoralized ana scattered | army, and filled the woods, as Gen. Croxton informs me, with stragglers, whom his cavalry are constantly capturing. The operations of the navy have been active and untiring. I have the honor to be, very respectfuliy, yours, S. P. Leg, A.R. Admiral Comd’g Miss. Squadron. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. U.S. Minirary TeLeGrarn, Pavuvoan, | Ky., December 31, 1861.—ToRear Admiral 8. P. Lee, Commanding Mississippi Squadron : Your two telegraphs have been received. We have been pressing the rank as hard as the condition of the roads would permit, and Daye succeeded in taking some few prisoners, probably some five or six hundred, since the enemy crossed Duck river. From the best in- formation I have at this time, Hood's losses since he invaded the State of Tennessee sum Up as follows:—Six general officers killed, six ‘wounded and one taken prisoner—at Franklin. Thirteen in all. and about six thousand men killed, wounded and taken prisoners at the same battle. On the $th instant, at Murfreesboro’, he had one general officer wounded, about one thou- sand men killed, and two hundred and seven taken prisoners. and lost two pieces ot artillery. In the two battles of the 15th and 16th, before Nashville, be had ove Lieutenant General severely wounded, one Major General and three Brigadier Generals, with four thousand four hundred and sixty-two officers and men made prisoners, besides losing fifty-three pieces of artillery and three thousand stand of small- arms. During bis retreat we haye captured fifteen | more guns, and from fifteen hundred to two thousaud prisoners, and a large number of small-arms haye been picked up by the way. Citizens report that be passed this place with his army completely disorganized except the rear guard, composed of about five thousand men. He destroyed a considerable amount of ammu- nition at this place, besides abandoning an ammunition train of fitteen to twenty wagons abouta mile beyond. Your efficient co.opera- tion on Tennessee river bas contributed largely to the demoralizationof Hood's army. * * * It gives me great pleasure to tender to yon, your officers and men my hearty thanks for your cordial co-operation during the opera- tions of the past thirty days.

FROM eee SSS Senater Foote, of Tennessee, a Prisoner in Richmend, on acceunt of his late Speech Denunciatory of the Confederate Auther- ities. ——_—»——__ We learn that Mrs. Henry S. Foote, wife of the rebel Senator Foote, of Tennessee, arrived in Alexandria at 5 o'clock this morning, from Richmond, coming by the way of Fairfax Court House. She states that her husband is now under arrest in Richmond on account of his late speech in the rebel Senate denunciatory of the rebel authorities. Mr. and Mrs. Foote were stopping at the ay, near Ballard Houre at the time the arrest was made. FROM THE FRONT. Heavy Freshet inthe James River—the Freshet opens the Dutch Gap Canal— Richmond papers believed to have bad | news for the rebels—Lee sending troops from Richmond to meet Sherman. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.} HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THB Potomac, Jan. 11, 1565.—The heavy rains which have fallen for the past week have swollen the James river to several feet above the usnal height, and the low grounds along the banks of the river are flooded, making travel in the vicinity anything but pleasant. The river is full of floating debris, 2 great deal of which comes from above the canal. I Jearned lastevening that these high tides had caused an opening in the bulkhead of the canal, and that a stream now flows through it some eight or ten feet wide and several deep; the elements thus combining to accomplish what engineering skill had failed to do. The pontoon bridges at Aiken’s Landing and Deep Bottom were both torn from their moor- ings yesterday, and travel was thus interrnpt- ed most of the day, but toward evening they were replaced and travel resumed. This morning the mail boat struck the bridge at Deep Bottom, carrying away a portion of it, but doing no damage to the boat. There were no Richmond papers yesterday, the rebels refusing to exchange, owing, it 1 believed, to their contaming news which they did not relish. About 3) deserters came in yesterday.

The Carrier Mair was sent to New Orleans for adjudica- | tion. On the 8th of December he chased and ran ashore the sloop Mary Ann, off Galves- ton. She could not be got off, so her cargo of 21 bales of cotton was removed.

Adjourned ee Tue Homes For Desrituts Cotorep We- MEN AND CHILDREN.—In the Evening Star of yesterday, January 11, appears a report of the annual meeting of the + National Associatiog, for the Reliet of Destitute Colored Women an Children,” wherein is found this paragraph -— “Mr. Channing followed Mre. Swissheim, \ stating that the character of the lady was such eration, and it would be proper fo investigaté them. Although he thonght that she was par- tialiy in error, he expressed the hope that a fall! investigation should be had.” As the reporter entirely misunderstood, and 80 misrepresented my brief remarks, room is requested in your colamns to correct the error. In substance I said, that “Although Mrs. S's well known philanthropy and interest in the cause of the oppressed entitled her criticisms to ail tinues to head as “special” to that paper the regular associated press dispatches received by ail the afternoon papers. CONGRESSIONAL. Fripay, January 13. SENATE.—Mr. Clark presented the petition of loyal citizens of Virginia, praying the estab- lishment of a territorial government in place ot the present Stategovernment. Keferred to tho Committee on Territories. Mr. Lane, of Indiana, presented the petition of the publishers of I: diana praying tha rapeal of the duty on printing paper. Reterred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Morrill, from the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia, reported back the bill amendatory of the charter of Washington, with an amendment. Mr. O@llamer, from the Post Office Commit- tee, reported favorably on the bill authorizing additional clerks for the Post Office Depart- ment. Also, on the bill amendatory of the act for carrying the mails to foreign parts. Mr. Riddle offered a rescintion iastrncting the Secretary of Wartoreport to tha Senate the number of soldiers which had been fur- nished by the loyal States und the District of Columbia under the callof the President of July last for 500,000 men. Mr. Riddle said that the information called for 18 very anxiously desired in all the loyal States, especially those bindtog on the States in rebellion, ang which have responded to every draftmade upon their people. By the roclamation of the President of the 19th of December last, it appears that but 210,000 of the 500,000 called for had been furnished, leay- ing a deficiency of 260,000. Therefore the Pres- ident bad now ordered another draft for 300,000 men. By the census of 1560, the popn- lation of the States and District named in his resolution was 23,(10.000, of which Delaware had 112,216. Out of this popniation she had furnished 2,445 men under the call of the Isth of July. By making the caleutation, Senators will find that this is something more than her quota of the 500,000, Thus it seems, now, the small States must be taxed to make up the de- ficiency in the large States. He believed the Secretary of War would cheerfully respond to the resolution. Mr. Brown thought that as this matter con- cerned our military affairs and the raising of troops. the resolutiuu Ought to be referred be- fore being acted on, and on his motion it was referred to the military committee. The consular and diplomatic appropriation bill came up &s the special order. An amendment appropriating 313,050 for the expenses of the boundary Jiné commission be- tween the United States (Washington Terri- tory) and the Gritish possessions, was adopted, One for increasing the salary of our Consul at Halifax to $1,000, was, after debate, (thongh recommended by the State Department ) re- jected, on the general ground of the impropri- Cae increasing salaries. ‘he bill was passed. Mr. Harlan calied up his resolution instrnet- ing the Secretary of War to suspend all pay and allowances of tha command of Col. Caey- ington, ot Colorado, until an investigation of the conduct of Col. Chevingion and his troops, in alate attack on an Indian camp shall take place, and that all articles takea from the Ia- diars shall be returned. Hovsz.—Mr,. Kasson presented the petition of Samuel Wilkeson, representing bimselfto ba the Washington editor of the New Yoru rie bune; that be sent on three different days to the American Telegraph Office here, telegrams an- nouncing the removal of Major General Bat- ler from the Army of the James; that these tel- egrams were not transmitted; that he is in- tormed the telegrams were suppressed by order ef the War Department: that he believes a cen- sorship has been established without law and exercised without responsibility, in violation of the freedom of the press and lawful busi- ness; that the correspondent of one of the pa- pers (the New York //eraid,) sent full accounts, with extended comments thereon, thereby giv- ing that paper a monopoly over allothers, in violation of equity; he, therefore, prays for the passage of alawto use the telegraph as the mails are used, and to punish by interference with, or the suppression of telegramz. The pe- tition was referred to the Committee on the Ju- diciary. Mr. Ashley moved, and the House agreed, after to-day, to postpone the further considera- tion of the anti-slavery constitutional amend- ent. mur. Rolline, of Misionri,'‘remarked that at the jast session of Congress he voted against the proposed amendment, but he had changed bis mind, and would now vote forit. He, in in the language of the President, would da.as toslavery, Whatever would save the Union and the Constitution; and he should vote for consideration, her statements were ufferly in- credible. Can it be for an instant believed that & body of high-minded ladies, officers and managers of this institution, engaged in con- ducting this Home from no other motive than benevolent sympathy, could have toleraed such atrocious abuses, as have been thus se verely denounced? It is ont of the question; the mere supposition is absurd. The ac'ua facts must have differed, as widely as possibie, from tbe riew of facts just preseuted, doubtless with sincere conviction, by Mrs. S.” I then proceeded to read a letter, written to the managers by the visiting surgeon at the Home, in reference to the period when Miss Mann was at once matron and teacher: “{[ was surgeon tn charge of the Home for a term comprising the months of July, Augu: ana partof September. As n.edical officer, f made frequent visits, and had abundant op- portunity of observing the management of tha Asylum by Miss Mann. During ® portion of this time ehe had entire control of the estah- lishment superintending the honsenbold affairs, nursing the sick, &cq, and it gives me gren: pletsure to testify the able and satisfactory manner in which she performed all the dnuss devolvingon her. Her devoted tenderness to the sick children 1 can never forget. Had she been their mother, she could not have been more kind, attentive and faithinl. At that time nursing was n@ easy tisk, for, az you May know, we hed many very sick patients The cleanliness of the Home, as well as of the inmates, was always well attended to. Tne food was good and sufficientin quantity, and inaddibon to the usual diet, fruic, of which there was an abundance on the farm was fre- quently prepared torthem. In conclusion, Will add that Miss Mann at ali times gave ma entire satisfaction. Her heart seemed to be in work she had undertaken, and she was faith- ful to her charge. The children, Iam well as- sured, never saffered through any fault of hers.” The reading ot this letter was followed by tha remark thatevery friend of the Home, and of the officers and managers of the institution— who were really assailed as much as Miss Mann—must desire a searching investigation of these incredibly cruel charges. Let me teke this oceasion to say thaton my conecience, as @ Christian, and my honor as 4 gentleman, i disbelieve the accusations breucht against the excetlent Ladies, who were the originators and the managers of tha «Home"’ during the last year. Eleven ont of thirteea of these officers gave their unremitted conti- denceand support to the respected tencher 60 rudely aseaulied, conscientious examinatton of the criticism brought against her. At the east, where she long since gained areputation as an educator, of which any one might be proud, and in the Mississippi Valley, whence she brought testimonials to ber heroic hamanity in exhausting labors among the Freedmen; Miss Mena can need no word of defence. Hera she is comparatively unknown. But lam one ofmany whodeeply regret that the work so wellbegun, and which she is so admirably qualified to carry on to completeness, of prov- ing the capacity of even the most negiectad children of Slaves and Freedmen for caitnure and refinement, should be cutshort, 80 nend. Jessly. Sach a demonstration ofthe moral and intellectual energies of & down trodden race given in this District,underthe eye of ourStates- men and of visitors Irom all parts of tle Re. public, eould not but encourage the frieids of impurtial equity and universal tredom throughout the Nation.

Clements secretary. The Chair stated that the committee on the hall had almost completed its arrangements | for taking possession of tha hall, and it was contemplated that the reading room snould be continued—the aim being to make it attrastive to every Union stranger.

Major Williams, of Fredericksburg, V2, stated that he had had a subject on his mind for some time, viz: the propriety of petitioning Congress for a special enactment so that Goy- ernment employees might exercise the right of franchise here. The muricipal affairs of this city are in the hands of a people antagonistical to the Government, and most of the officers of the city government belong to the ola pro- slavery party. This party still existed bere, and its influence wasofien manifested in the juries of our courts. He believed that it: was the intention when the Histrict was ceded to the Government, that the Goveromeat should control the municipal affairs of the District, and it was not contempisted that thére should be a continual butting ot the city government against the General Government Government employees’ cannot be franchised here now withoat a registration of their names previous to the 3ist dav of December, ‘withont losing the right to vow at their homes in some of the States atleast.
