SHERMAN.
We shall not fill our columns with the
rebel reports of Sherman's movements.
When he sent his last train back from At
lanta, it was well understood that we could
expect nothing authentic on the subject of
his march, until he himself should work out
some denouement. Richmond papers are sel
dom true to their home readers, and on an
occasion like this, when they know us en
tirely dependent on them for information,
they will delight alternately to stuff uS and
ware us, but in either case to baffle us.
Their reports help to fill the columns of the
daily papers where the canard of one day
can be straightened out the next; but in
attempting to gather up a weekly summary
of them, they stand so self-contradictory
that they destroy themselves, and it is a
mere waste of room to publish them. Kil
patrick's division may or may not have
been whipped at Oconee Bridge, Milledge
ville May or may not have been captured
and burned: we shall know in good time,
but we must wait. Thus far we see nothing
disheartening, but on the contrary,the tenor
of the reports leaves upon us the impression
that our entrepid commander is doing well,
and we are contented to wait. One of these
reports was deemed of sufficient importance
by Gen. Grant to despatch to Secretary
Stanton in these terms :—" The Richmond
Examiner of to-day admits that Sherman will
succeed in reaching the sea coast. Other
papers admit that he has crossed the Oco
nee,"
The despatch is dated December 1. There
comes along with it a report "by flag of
ituce" that Sherman was within forty miles
iNFSavannah.
LATER.—News from Port Royal to Nov.
SO, shows a stirring on that coast which
ma well be supposed to have some connec
with Sherman's progress. A movement of
an unknown design was going on ; all the
paisus of that place had been suspended for
the present; the regular troops were being
swot off, and the citizens.enrolled as a home
&maid during their absence. It was sup
posed that the rebel force along the coast
had been materially lessened to operate in
the. interior against the invader. It was
also said that Admiral Dahlgren and Gene
ral Foster were in communication With Sher
man who was supposed to be moving -on .
Savannah, and that a joint force was being
organized to co-operate with him while
other expeditions were moving on other
atrategetic points.
TENNESSEE
, the aggressive movements of the rebel
armies are just now aimed at Tennessee and
Xentucky. Hood undoubtedly committed
the greatest military mistake of the ,war,
when he suffered himself to be decoyed
away from the defence of Georgia by the
captivating hope that he was placing him
self between Sherman and his friends. A
Richmond paper, deeply indignant that a
General in so important a command, should
become so easy a victim to Yankee strategy,
says that heswitched himself off the track,
and thus left it clear for the Northern inva
sion. If Hood, now that the bulk of his old
antagonists are otherwise engaged, could
secure the Tennessee strongholds, and make
them a base for further aggression, it might
be a partial atonement for his late fatal
blunder. Still, it would be but a partial
Greet, for even granting that our force for
the defence of Nashville and Knoxville
should just now prove insufficient, the re
possession of every point which he may
occupy would be only a question of time.
The events directly to be noticed, have
revealed the strength of his army which is
far from insignificant.
But thus far he has advanced only to suf
fer defeat and dissipate any , alarm which
for a moment might have existed. The first
important battle took place at Franklin, a
few miles South of Nashville on the 30th
ult. During the early part of the engage
ment, there was a wavering and falling
back in some parts of our lines which threat
ened disaster, but in the critical moment our
generals having succeeded in rallying their
troops, swung on the rebel flank, doubling
them in the centre, where our artillery and
musketry mowed them down by hundreds.
The tide was now turned, and our men, in
spired with success, gave a wild hums, and
swept back on the rebel line like an ame
ba:loh, hurling the enemy back in the wild
est disorder and confusion. Night was now
setting in, yet we followed up our advant
'-
age and what threatened to be a disastrous
defeat was thus turned into .a glorious vic
,
' tory. The despatch of Gen. Schofield who
eommanded in the field, says that the enemy
was repulsed at all points, with very heavy
ices, probably five or six thousand men killed
and wounded. Our loss is probably not
more than one-tenth that number: We
have captured a thousand men beside one
brigadier general. Later reports make the
enemy's killed, wounded and prisoners
four thousand. Of their Generals, Adams
is among the killed, Scott among the wound
ed and Gordon a prisoner. Later reports
add another General, Clebourne to the
killed. Hood is still intent on the advance.
indeed on the next morning he moved his
forcess across the Harpeth, (the stream on
which Franklin is situated,) in the direc
tion of Nashville. Gen. Thomas, to obtain
a desirable position withdrew the Union
forces to a point nearer Nashville, and is
prepared to accept or to give battle. He is
receiving valuable accessions to his force:
Xaj. Gen. A. J. Smith's corps reached him
on the evening of the battle. Commander
Mash has also reached there with a fleet of
iron-clads, The filling back from Franklin,
As said to be a part of the original programme
to draw Hood on where this fleet can co
operate in the next clinch.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
.Among the breezes which have ruffied the
atffiness before Richmond, we notice a pret
ty sharp little affair gotten up, as the ac
count says, for the entertainment of some
Noglish visitors. They Were anxious to see
a little of our artillery practice, and to gra
tify them a fire was opened from our batte
cies at Fort Hell. The enemy at first did
not reply, but after a short time they opened
from several points, and for a short time a
perfect shower of shot and shell fell in and
around Fort Hell.
Unfortunately, just at this time some of
the troops on duty in the vicinity were being
relieved, and several casualties occurred,
among which was the wounding of Lieuten
irnt Colonel Stafford, of the 80th New York
Volunteers, who, it is said, cannot recover.
If any more "English visitors" should find
their way to those quarters, we trust they
rosy receive whatever attentions the case
ibirly demands, but we submit that they
overtax our hospitalities. when they ask for
OD expensive an "entertainment" as this.
The intrepid cavalry leader, Gregg, has
amide a more satisfactory stir. He was sent
South, on the Ist inst. on a reconnoissance,
more particularly to discover if the enemy
were sending troops South. Gen. Meade
despatched to Gen. Grant the result of the
enterprise as follows : " I have just heard
from Gen. Gregg. His despatch is dated
3.45 P. M. He reports having captured
Stony Creek Station, which was defended
by infantry and cavalry in works with artil
lery. He captured two pieces of artillery,
but had no means of bringing them off, so
he spiked them, and destroyed the carriages.
He has 190 prisoners, . 8 wagons and 30 mules.
He burned the depot with 3,000 sacks of
corn, 500 bales of hay, a train of cars and a
large amount of bacon, cloth ing,am munition ,
and other Government stores. He destroyed
all the shops and public buildings. The 2d
brigade, Colonel Gregg commanding, had
the advance and it is reported as most gal
lantly carrying the enemy's position. Gen.
Gregg is now returning to camp.. No infor-.
motion could be obtained of the passing of
any troops southward, either cavalry or, in
fantry. The bed of the branch road from
Stony creek has been graded, but no rails
were laid. At Duval station, South of Honey
creek, Much property was destroyed, and a
-large amount of railroad iron 'found, which
was attempted ta be destroyed 'by fire.
When the staff officer who brought the des
patch left, 'the enemy were showing . signs of
having concentrated, Wand were following,
but he thinks Gregg will be in camp by Mid
night." -
WAR ITEMS.
Gen. A. L. Lee,-(Union,) despatches from
near Port 'Hudson, La. Nov. 21, that he - had
a fight at Liberty, Miss., whipped the ene
my badly, and on is his way home with two
hundred prisoners, including• twenty-five
commissioned officers, and from GOO to 800
horses and mules with negro. riders.- He
also destroyed immense stores on the, rail
road.—Report comes by way of Cairo, that
the pirate Semmes arrived at Bagdad, Mex
ico, Oct. 15, en route for Richmond.—On.
the 28th ult. an attempt was made, by rebel
agents, to - burn the rail road depot at Herat
phis,. along with $2,000,000 worth of govern,
ment stores therein contained. The plot
was discovered before execution, and the
incendiaries arrested in the act oifiring the
building.' They are to be tried at once by a
military commission, and will probably be
hung.—Two of llirciseby's spies were ar
rested on the night of the 30th inst. in
Georgetown, D. C. ,
The late reports from'the fleet off Charles
ton say that the . blockiide runner Beatriae
run ashore and was destroyed on the night of
the 27th. Thirty of the crew were-captured.
The Hilton Head correspondence of the
N. Y. Herald says that Gen.. Foster had pro
ceeded up Broad river with an expedition,
and landed five miles below Pocotaligo
bridge. They marched on and captured
the bridge after a sharp fight, the rebels
evacuating their position. A. large quantity
of cotton was found and destroyed.
A - PIRATICAL SCHEME SPOILED
On the 25th of October the American
Consul in Panama received a, dispatch from
Consul Shufeldt, at Llavana,. stating that
the same steamer bringing the dispatch
would also take to Aspinwall a party of
rebel pirates intending to seize the steamer
Guatemala. The agent ,of the Company
was notified of the plot and sent the steamer
to sea before the arrival of the pirates
across the Isthmus. Consequently they
were obliged to remain in Panama till the
10th of November, the day of= sailing of the
nest steamer--the Salvador. In the mean
time furtheilfifffinatienrivai - obtained and
a plan for the capture of the whole gang
matured. Whilst waiting for the steamer,
the rebels purchased 307 pounds of powder,
put it in tin cans and shipped it on, the
steamer on which they intended to take
passage.
On the 10th the passengers embarked on
the Salvador as usual, with their baggage.
Immediately on going aboard they were
taken into the main saloon, ostensibly to
have their tickets examined. Previous to
this all the port holes, windows, state rooms
and doors had been closed in order that no
opportunity could be presented for skedad
dling or for hidding papers, etc. As soon
as they were collected a preconcerted signal
was made, when Commander Davenport, of
the U. S. frigate Lancaster, sprang on board
with several full armed boats' crews, and
announced to the astonished passengers
that he had taken possession of the steamer.
Sufficient evidence was at once discovered
proving the reality of the plot. The Salva
dor was then taken to sea, over three ma
rine miles, accompanied by the Lancaster.
Papers revealing the whole affair, instruc
tions from the rebel Secretary of the Navy,
Mallory, small arms of all kinds, handcuffs,
etc., were found in the posSession of the
pirates, who were then transferred to the
Lancaster and the Salvador proceeded on
her , voyage. The leader of this gang of
rebel worthies turns out to be a Baltimorean
by the name of Hogg. He has since made a
full confession.
THE REBEL INCENDIARY PLOT.
John H. Ripple, a paroled Union.prisoner,
now at Annapolis, writes to Secretary Sew
ard substantially as follows:—He says that
when he passed through Savannah, on. the
19th of October, he was informed by a pro
fessed Union citizen that he would hear of
the greatest city burning on record, if the
rebels succeeded in the North, and that it
was to come off in a very few days. He fur
ther says that one Captain Montgomery, for
merly of Baltimore city, who before the war
was in the livery business in Baltimore, was
the agent charged with the duty of firing
the Northern cities, particularly New York,
Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.
He further says that the rebels in Savannah
were in high expectation of soon hearing
of Montgomery's success, and that he was to
receive a large sum of money if successful.
The Secretary has deemed this of sufficient
consequence to order its publication.
LATEST-TUESDAY.
THIRTY - EIGHTH CONGRESS; SECOND SESSION.
—Both houses of Congress met Dec. sth,
and sent a joint committee to inform the
president of their readiness to receive any
communications. His message was not
presented until the next day, too late for
publication in our paper of this week.
Sherman was believed to be advancing on
Savannah. Reports up to Dec: Ist from that
place, say he had occupied Millen, Ga.
Boys of thirteen, even women, were at work
on the trenches of the city. Gen. Bragg at
Augusta, Dec. 2. says he defeated a force
of ours under Gen. Foster, sent out from
Beaufort, doubtless to diVert the attention
of the rebels from Sherman. The scene of
the conflict was Grahamsville, 34 miles north
oust of Savannah, and 70 miles from Charles
ton. The defeat is not described as over
whelming, and Bragg speaks of other
points being threatened by our forces. Pre
vious reports represent Gen. Foster as
having captured Pocotaligo Bridge.
It is stated that the rebels lost four gen
erals at the battle of Franklin, Tenn.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1864.
The latest news is very brief, and gener
ally of no public interest. Indeed the only
item of importance that we notice is that
the British Admirality have issued a strin
gent order forbidding naval officers from
engaging in blockade running. This order
appears to have been issued upon the re
monstrance of Secretary Seward, represent
ing that a recently captured blockade run
ner was found to be commanded by a dis
tinguished British naval officer.
The execution of Muller for the murder
of Mr. Briggs, took place Nov. 14th accord
ing to sentence, all - the efforts of the Ger
man 2ociety, and individuals outside to
prowl% a reprieve on the ground of new
-light indicating his innocence, having failed.
'After the convict, ad been placed upon the
drop, and the rope adjusted round his neck,
Dr. Chappel his spiritual- adviser, addressed
him ,with great animation and solemnity :
The'conversation translated reads:Muller,
in a few minutes you will s tand before God ; I
ask you again, and for the last time : Are
you guilty or innocent?
Muller. lam innocent.
Dr. Chappel. .You are innocent ?.
Muller. God knows what I hate done.
_ -
Dr. Chappel. God knows what you have
done? Does hedcnow, also, that you have
committed -this crime?
Mune? res!l did it. '
These were his last words. The drop fell,
and he soon ceased to live. So , greatly,
relieved was the reverend gentleman by the
confession that he rushed from the scaffold,
exclaiming, " Thank God thank' God 1"
and sank down in a chair completely ex
hausted by his own emotion.
The English people were awaiting, with
great interest, the arrival of the news of bur
Presidential election. We suppose that by
this time their suspense has been reliev4d.

FINANCES OF PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia is certainly in good credit--
a state of things which is pretty sure to
make ont.a case for a smart taxation. From
a statement of the city debts and "'assets, on
the first, of November, welnake the: follow!
iitt"g suinniary : -
City,Loans,
.(including $1,500,000 author
ized but not issued,) 00,259,832166; offsetts
of all descriptiOns, $24,447,002. 71'; balance
against the city, $5,812,829. 95. - This bal
ance is more than covered by public pro
perty, such as public ituildings, tichoolaand
station houses.
The known liabilities of the year to come
are : $4,058,922. 83,; the estimated expenses
of the year' are : 6,994,035 total, $11,052,-
'957.83.
The receipts for 1865 - are estimated at
$5,138,450.04, which will leave $5,914,507.79
to be raised by taxation. The valuation of
property, as furnished. by the City Commis
sioner, is $159,147,568. On this valuation a
tax of $3.75 on the $lOO will yield $5,968,033.80;
but a little more than the estimated, ezpenses of
1865. Notwithstanding this increase of
debt, Philadelphia loans are in good demand
and command a premium. There is no lack
of confidence in the city—that is, in the
tax payers. What the latter may have to
say, remains to be seen.
Federal deserters in Canada.--Their deplorable
condition 4 ,--Accounts received at Washington
say that there are at this time, ac'cordin'g to
reliable information in possession of tthe
authorities here, some five thousand detiert
era. from our army in Canada, whither tlliey
have fled to escape the vigilence of 1?cal
provost marshals, whose arrests of themiare
daily increasing in number. Recently there
was a large meeting of them near the Can
ada end of the Suspension bridge, resulting
in the forwarding a petition asking that
they be received back into their respective
regiments without being subject to the
military punishment usually accorded in
cases like theirs. Their condition is as piti
ble as deplorable. Half of them are bare
footed and not half clothed at this incle
ment season, and their only means pros
pect of keeping body and soul together tsin
working upon the Great Western Railroad,
and other Canadian Public works, at pay
which scantily feeds them without suffi
ciently clothing them. They are intensely
unpopular with the people of Canada, who
take every means in their power to crowd
them back into the United States. On the
whole their cendition therels tenfold worse
than that of free negroes. -
General Items.—Rio Janeiro, Brazil, was
the scene of a violent tornado, on the 13th
of October. Its track through the city was
about a quarter of a mile in width. Many
houses were blown down, involving of course'
flinch other disaster. Several lives were also
lost by the capsizing of vessels in the harbor.
—The trial of Burleigh, a Lake Erie raider,
commenced in Toronto, Canada West, on

road, was convicted, on the 2d inst, in the

the great Northern Lakes. The Detroit
papers estimate at least fifty lives lost, and
one million dollars worth of property des
troyed by wrecks.---Recently in Brooklyn,
N. Y. the Court decided against the claim of
a livery stable owner against a "fast" custo
mer, of $l2 for horse hire and $6O for dam
age to horse during the ride, on the ground
that it was a Sunday transaction, and
therefore not under the protecion of the
law.---Some estimate of the the heat of the
oil fever may made be from the , fact that
the "American Oil and Mining Company"
in New York recently paid $1,365,000,
for three-eighths undivided interest in
257 acres of land on Horse Neck Run,
Pleasant co., West Virginia. The deed of
transfer has in it twenty $5O government
stamps, in all $lOOO. A year ago this tract
could have been bought almost for a "song."
—The prospects for food the coming
