6.eiteral Sots,
TENNESSEE:
VICTORY
lUHood is again most thoroughly whipped,
d probably trapped. Our last week's re
.rt left him entrenched before Nashville,
ith his batteries blockading the river. It
Stow appears that, in view of what was going
n in his rear, Gen. Thomas was only anx
..us that, for a while, he should hold on
here he was. It appears thift under the
'4,Vders of Gen. Canby, a detachment was
11ent out from Vicksburgh to cut his cona
,, teunications with Mobile, and that the en
' terprise was fully successful. This &one,
Gen. Thomas took him in hand on the 15th
;., at., drove him from the river below the
*ty about eight miles, captured a Division
eadquarters, two trains, more than a
ousand prisoners, [later reports, see be
:
-, w, greatly increase the number',] and
e°,.. 1 *ghteen pieces of artillery. So much be
.re nightfall.
The next day's work is thus reported in a
espatch from Gen Thomas, Dec. 16th, 1864:
...
GEN. THOMAS' DISPATCHES.
I have the honor to report that the enemy
as been pressed at all •points to-day in his
1 .
ne of retreat to the Brentwood Hills.
Brigadier-General Hatch, of Wilson's corps
.f cavalry, on the right turned =the enemy's
ft and captured a large number of prison-
A - rs—number not yet reported.. Major-Gen
ral Schofield's corps, next on the left of
f he cavalry, carried several hills, and cap=
tired many prisoners and six.pieces of ar
tillery.
Brevet Major-General Smith, next on the
left of Major:General Schofield, culled the
, salient point of the enemy's4ine with 3,10-
Millan's brigade of McArthur% division,
capturing sixteen guns, two brigadier-gene
. rals and about 2,000 prisoners.
Brig.-General Garrard's division of Smith's
command, next on the left of McArthur's
division, carried the enemy's entrenchments
capturing all the artillery and troops of the
enemy on the line.
• Brigadier-General Wood's troops, on the
Franklin Pike, took up the assault, carry
- ing the enemy's entrenchments, and in his
retreat captured eight pieces of artillery and
, g
"kr somethin over 600 prisoners, and drove the
k enemy within one mile of the Brentwood
Hill pass.
ii Major-General Steedman, commanding
l' detachments of the different armies of the
' t , military division of Mississippi; most nobly
supported General Wood's left, and bore a'
most honorable part in the operations of the
day. .
I have ordered the pursuit to be continu
ed in the morning at daylight, although the
troops are very much fatigued. The utmost
'nthusiasm prevails.
I must not forget to report the operations
Brigadier-General Johnson in successful
;y driving the enemy, with the co-operation
• f the.gunboats under Lt.-Com. Fitch, from
eir established batteries on the • Cumber
and river below the city of Nashville, and
the success of Brig.-General Craxton's
igade, in covering and returning our right
•
d rear, in the operations of yesterday and
• day.
Although I have no report of the number
prisoners captured by Johnson's and
axton's commands, I know they have
ade a large number. lam glad to be able
• state that the number of prisoners cap
fed yesterday greatly exceeds the number
:ported by telegraph last evening.
The woods, fields and entrenchments are
trewn with the enemy's small arms, aban
oned-in their retreat. •-I corrolusion i -I am
• appy to state that all this has been elle - ct - ed -
With but a small loss to us. Our loss does
not exceed 3000, and very feW killed.
(Signed.) G-EO, H. THOMAS,
Major• General Commanding.
On the 17th the victory was energetically
•ursued, and the success at all points more
nd more complete. Gen. Thomas says of
•
his day :
We have pressed the enemy to-day beyond
ranklin, capturing his hospitals, contaiu
ng over 1,000 'veounded, and about 150 of
-our wounded in addition to the above.
General Knipe, commanding a division of
eavalry, drove the enemy's -rear guard
• hrough Franklin to-day, capturing about
'5O prisoners and five battleoflags, with very
ittle loss on our side.
Citizens of Franklin represent Hood's ar
o, y as completely demoralized.
In addition to the capture of yesterday,
eported in my despatch of last night, I .
'gave the honor to report the capture of
General Rucker and about 250 prisoners of
ne enemy's cavalrf, in a fight that occurred
about 8 o'clock last night between General
• ucker, .and General Retch, of our , cavalry.
'The enemy haa - been pressed to-day, both,
in front and on both flanks.
Brigadier-General John Son succeeded in
striking' him on, the 'flank, just beyond
Franklin, capturing quite a number of pris
oners. The number is not yet reported.
My cavalry is pressing him closely though,
and. I am very much, ,in hope of getting
many more prisoners to-morrow.
The above is from General Thomas. In
'adklition, Secretary Stanton adds-:—Other
despatches, unofficial, from Nashville state
that 1,000 prisoners were captured byWilson.
The-superintendent at Nashville reports
that the railroad from Nashville will be open
to Franklin to night, and he will rapidly
follow Thomas, thus furnishing him with
supplies, and enablihg him to push on after
Still later on the 17th the Secretary de
spatches that the provost marshal at Nash-
,Ville reports five thousand prisoners and forty
nine pieces of -.artillery as being already se
cured.
War Items.-Rev. W. G. Eggleston, of the
Methodist Church South, residing near
Winchester, has been arrested by order of
General Sheridan, on the charge_ of giving
. formation to the enemy. He is now con
ned in Fort McHenry.—Ch,anges, said to
ave been greatly needed, have been made
kon the Southern Mississippi. Gen. Reynolds
elieves Gen. Steele in the Arkansas Depart

'lnand at Moiganzia, in' plaae. Gen;Lawler.
force of negroes,•lso strong, opposite
,!;Memphis, was led into ambush, and horribly
4fut up, not more than seven escaping alive.
. rebels, under Gen. Lyon, captured
the Government transport Thomas E. Tuft,
at Cumberland City, on the CuMberland
river, twenty miles above Fort Donelson, and
used her for crossing the river on the march
into Kentucky. The force is estimated at
4,000. The steamer was loaded with Govern
ment forage, and was burned to the water's
f edge after the rebels had crossed,—The
opposition in North . Carolina to the' Govern
ent in Richmond, has been revived. The
.apers on that side now speak out boldly for
/mediate cessation or hostilities, and the
cceptance of terms from the Federal Gov
. nment.—Dr. Mills, Director of the Medi-
Department in Missouri, has been pro
; oted to the po3ition of Medical Director.
neral Dr. Letterman, late of the Army of
- e
Potomac, succeeds him in Missouri.--
'Was reported at Newbern, N. C., on the
h inst. that our forces had captured gins
ton in that State, where they struck the
railroad, and were still moving into the in
terior.
Powder Mill Explosion.—Three of Dupont's
Powder mills, in the neighborhood of Wil
mington, Del., exploded on the 15th inst.,
between 10 and 11 o'clock, A. M., creat
ing terrible havoc. Ten men were
some of them so torn that their bodies, lay
around in charred fragments.
FOREIGN
Denmark.—The King of Dentiuirk, on the
16th ult., made, by formal proclamation, the
surrender of the territory conquered from
him by Austria and Prussia. h consists of
the duchies of Lauenburgh and Holstein,
and a part Of the duchy of Schleswig. How
mournful to him .this disintegration of his
dominion is; appears from the following sen
tences in an accompanying proclamation :--
"It became therefore, our hard fate to
conclude a peace which Annihilated the
brightest hopes with which we received the
crown—to preserve it entire and uninjured
as it has been worn for centuries, by the
Danish royal house. It became our sad fate
to see the monarchy divided, and-the coun
try which had formed part, of the ancient
Danish realm' from' time immemorial; and
which a thousand years "tittle had not
been able to tear from it, separated from us.
But the hardest trial of all to us has been to
know that portions of the kingdom itself,
and the largest portion of that population
in Schleswig, which belongs to Denmark by
heart'and by language, h"ave'beenconipell
ed to see themselves severed from the mo
ther country and race."
Semmes and his New Ship.-4, Paris paper,
the Pa.vs,' a rebel sympathizer Bays :—" It
seems certain that Captain Semmes, of the
Alabama, is on board a ship, bearing the
Confederate flag—a ship which may easily
be made a formidable corsair Captain Sem
mes left Madeira on the Erurel, with eighty
men. most of them belonging , to his old crew.
The new ship is called the Sea King. When,
where, or how will she be armed ? No one
can tell. But the best is done by. the, pos
session of the ship, and it will not be hard
for the captain and his crew to arm' her."
A Liverpool paper of November.,l7, says
that the Sea King now takes the name of
the Shenandoah. Still another report, (im
probable,) says that she will be commanded,
not by Capt.Semmes, but by Lieut. Waddell.
A report is also despatched from Southern
ton, November 22, that she has been wreck
eciloff Madeira.
News.—There is none of importance by
the latest arrivals. The statement that an
Admiralty order has strictly forbidden na
val officers from taking commands in rebel
privateers is confirmed. The Morning Star,
(friendly,) says of the Pregident : " His
policy towards this country has been char
acterized by the utmost frankness and the
strongest desire for peace, and no statesman
worthy of conducting theaffairs of this coun
try but must be convinced'that our best al
lies °tithe American continent are men, pro
feast:lg the principles which Abraham Lin
coln avows, and in consonance with which
he has hitherto directed the foreign policy
of the Republic." ,
%%RITMO. CONGRESS-2d SESSION

ments to the Constitution, let. The consoli
dation of certain States ; 2. The free and
slave Sates to furnish by turns a President
and Vice President ; 3. Regulations for their

Constitutional purpose ; 8. Military neces
sity not to originate any power except with
in the actual lines and under immediate ur
gency ; '9. No Negro to be a citizen of the.
United States. No action was taken.
DEC. 13.—The committee on Foreign Af
fairs reported, a bill' in accordance with the
recommendation' of the Presidents's mes
sage, for furnishing the Liberian , govern
ment on easy terms of payment, with a 'gun
boat. The Finance committee reported a
bill, which was passed, appropriating $l,OOO,
'OOO for the construction or purchase of six
steam Revenue Cutters for lake service. A
letter to the Committee from the Secretary
of the Treasury was read, showing the insuf
ficiency of the present naval force there,
even for the suppression of sriniggling in or
dinary,times. A joint resolution ,was intro
duced and referred to the Military Commit
tee, making free the wives and children of
colored soldiers, and for this purpose; •de
claring those who haVe associated together
as husband and wife, to be such; The
Bankruptcy bill from the House was recived,
and referred..
DEC. 14.—Joint resolutions of thanks to
Capt. Winslow, destroyer of the Alabama,
and Lieut. Cushing, destroyer of the Albe
marle, as recommended by the President,
were passed. The subject of the discharge
of the St. Albans raiders was introduced by
Mr. Chandler, 'of Michigan, who gave an
alarming account of the state of feeling in
his own State. There was there serioits dan
ger that such r retaliatory encroachments
would be made by the excited people, as
would in the end, embroil the two nations
in war. He offered two resolutions. The
first, after reciting in
.a preamble the out
rages committed, directs the Military Com
mittee to inquire into the expediency' Of
immediately
,enlisting an'army corps'for the
protection of the border. The second, after
a preamble stating the fact that Great Bri
tain, at thommencement of the rebellion,:
acknowledged the.rebel government as a
belligerent power, and thereby shielded its
piratical cruisers•from being treated by the
nation, as pirates, thus countenancing their
plunder and murder on the high seas, in
structs the Secretary of State to make out 'a
list of the pecuniary losses thus suffered, and,
to demand from the British Government
payment in full thereof. Mr. Chandler de
sired immediate action on the resolutions,
but Mr. Johnson objecting, they were: laid
over. A conversation arose upon the reso
lution offered on the 12th for an increase of
revenue by increased taxation, in the course
of which Mr. Sherman, chairman of the Fi
nance Committee, said that all bills to raise,
revenue must originate in the lower branch.
At this"-'stage, the Senate would •only ex
press its• views. The resolution was then re
ferred to the Finance Committee. The joint
resolution passed yesterday by the House
for the termination of the reciprocity trea
ty, came in, and was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
DEC. 15.—A resolution was passed in
structing the War Committee to inquire re
specting the employment of disloyal men in
the Navy Yards, and certain other positions,
to-the exclusion of others who are loyal, and
giving the Committee power to send- for
persons and papers. Mr. Chandler called
up the resolutions offered yesterday, by
himself, and they were referred without de
bate to the Committee on Foreign Rela
tions. The bill reported on the 13th for the
sale of a gunboat to the Liberian govern-

from Mr. Powell, of Kentucky. The Sen

first of June, 1865, is the time specified for
its going into effect.
lizc. 13.—A resolution was offered and re
ferred to the Committee. on, the, rebellious
States, declaring that Louisiana may resume
its political relations with the gefierai Gov
ernment. A debate, started yesterday, on
the bill coming over from the last session,
looking to the oonstrugtion of anew Navy
Yard for iron vessels, •was continued; ,and
the whole subject was finally tabled by a
vote of 80 to 53. This we ,euppose ends for
the present the contest between New`Lori
don and League Island. The joint resolu
tion, coming over from the last session re
specting the termination of the reciprocity
treaty with Great-Britain, was taken up and
so changed in form as to set forth that the
terms of that treaty are not reciprocal and
satisfactory, to provide for the' adjustineiit
of matters of difference between the two,
governments, and to request the President, , '
to give the required notice for its terrains=
tion, and then adopted.
Dac. 14.—An important : Nil, was reported`
froth •the Military • Cothmtitee; ridding
volunteer service
,and.theTaymaster's book
of loafing Generals. It provides that after
the 15th of February next;all-Itiajor Gene
rals - and Brigadier Generals„of, volunteers
„who have not been -engaged : to, dutycorres
pending to theirTink for the next prece
iling three_months, be . draPped -from
the rolls, and their paY'and hithents
cease. If they were taken from lower grades
in the regular army, they go back where
they were ; if - they were eiiilitins they'fall
out, entirely. The rule does not apply to
absence on account Of disabilities accruing
'from exposure in the service; such as dis
ease, wounds, captivity or parole. The bill
further provides that this sifting. process
shall be gone over every, year. The bill
passed The House,* under 'the operation of
;the previous question, 98,t0384. /joint res
olution, brought over from the last session,
looking toward the raising -of the revenue_
wholly by taxation, was tabled' by the close
vote of 68 to 66, The bill from the Senate,
(see proceeding's of the 13th,) providing 'for
Revenue Cutters on the lakes, was passel
withot debate. The House went into Com
mittee of the Thole on the.. President's Mes
sage.
DEC. 15.—The House, by resolution, called
upon the Secretary of State for all communi
cations on file in his office, and Nihiali can'
be communicated consistently-with the pub
lie interest, in reference to :the e difficulties, ,
on the Northern borders. The joint resolu-,
tions from the Senate, of thanks to Captain
Winslow and Lieut. Cushing, were taken up
and passed: A bill was introduced Which
provides that all persons applying under the
pre-emption and homestead laWs shall make
oaththat they have not deserted from the
army, or resisted the drafkor secreted them
selves to avoid being enrolled or drafted, or
discouraged enlistments, and that in all cases
where any of these offences shall be proved,
the land taken up shall revert to the gov
ernment. Mr. Davis, of Maryland, fr om the
Committee on Foreign Affairs reported a
resolution declaring thit Congress 'has a
constitutional right to an authoritative voice
in declaring and prescribing the foreign pol
icy of the United States, as well in the rec-.
ognition of new Powers as in other matters,
and it is the constitutional duty of the Pres
ident to respect that policy, not less in di
ploinatic negotiations than in the use , of the
national force when authorized by laW ; and
the propriety of any declaration of foreign
policy by - tongreie — is - sufficiently proved by
the vote which pronounces it, and such 'pro:
position, while pending and undetermined,
is not a fit, topic , of diplomatic explanation
with any foreign Power. The resolution
was tabled by :a vote of 69 to 63. Mr. Davis
thereupon asked to. be excused from further
service on the Committee reporting the yes
olution, assuming the vote to be a reflection
on the Committee. He stated the following
history as the animus of the resolution :
The • House, at its last session, on his mo
tion, passed a resolution touching the &r
-eign policy in relatiorn to tt , e Republic of
Mexico, and it was adopted unanimously,,
It was sent to the Senate and there it still
lies.: It had been passed by the House only
a very , few days, -when the officer charged
with the foreign correspondence of thiS Gov
ernment directed our representatives abioad
virtually to apologize to the French Govern
ment for the resolution passed by the Rep
resentatives of the American people, asser
ting in affect, that this- House had gone be
yond its just jurisdiction, in undertaking to
presqribe to the President the rule by which
he should be guided. The Ilonie refuied
to grant Mr. Davis' request; Bills relating
to the details of the collection of the revenue
were-passed, and` the House adjourned until

MASON & HAMLIN
CABINET ORGANS
MASON & HAMLIN-respectfully invite atiention
to the fact that their CABINET ORGANS are, by
the written testimony of a MAJORITY OF THE MOST
EMINENT 'ORGANISTS AND MUSICIANS IN AMERI
CA, -as well as a number, of distinguished artiste - of
other countries, declared to be unequaled by any simi
lar, instrnments—" TEE BEST OF THEIR CLASS;"
also, that they have been invariably awarded the first
premiums at the numeral/a' industrial ,fairs at which
their" instruments have peen exhibited: They will be
glad to send to any one desiring it an illustrated cats
Logue of styles sa d prices, with a large amount of this
testimony.
CAUTION TO 'U
CHASERS.
The high reputatioL 0 f our CABINEt, ORGANS
has' frequently induced dealers to represent that other
instruments are the same thing; that there is no essen
tial difference between the Cabinet Organs and Organs
with: various names, made by other makers. This is
not true. The excellences of our Cabinet Organs,
which have given them their high reputation, are, the
result not merely cf the superiority of their workman
ship, put also in large measure of essential differences
of construction, which being patented, •!cannot be
eiriploYed by other makers. These are essential, to
their better quality and volume of tone and unrivaled
capacity of
: expression. When a s . '
dealer represent
another instrument as the same thing as the Cabinet
Organ; it is usually an attempt to sell an inferior instru
ment on whiclPhe can make a larger profit.
