Feahkuk, Dec. 2. To Major Oeneral Thomas: The enemy made a heavy and persistent attack with two corps, commencing at.four p. m. and lasting till after dark. He was repulsed at all points, with a heavy loss, probably of five or six hundred mea. Our loss is probably not more than pne-fourth of that number. We have cap tured about one thousand men, including one Brigadier General. (Signed,) Jno. Schofield, Maj. Gen. Parties who have arrived from the front, were witnesses to the battle of yesterday, and describe tbe'attack of the rebel forces as despehuc. Four charges were made npon the Federal line of mas ked batteries, in a body of four lines deep. Each time the rebels were repulsed with, fearful loss. The first is on the north hank ofthe river, oppo site the town. Extending up tbe river, encircling the town, was the line of masked batteries Eye witnesses say this engagement, in despera tion and fnrious fighting, was hardly equalled by the battle of Stone River, Forrest, ia person, was in the field, rallying his men. A rumor is in circulation that lie was killed, but it|acks confirmation. About seven o’clock last night, heavy reinforce ments reached Schofield, which caused a complete route of the rebel forces. The city, to-day, is full of fleeing residents of Williamson and other counties south. They state that Hood is gathering up all the horses, bogs and mules he can find, and sending tflem South. There is a great panic among the negroes in the counties, south of Nashville. Numbers are flocking to the city for protection. Nashville, Dec, 1. TheTFederal forces under Gen. Thomas retired from Franklin last night, and had taken position and formed in line "of battle South of Nashville about three miles. Skirmishing has been going on all day about five miles South of here. Can nonading can ; be distinctly heard in the city. No want of confidence is felt by citizens in the ultimate success of the Federate. ' The employees of the Quartermasters Department arc under arms and within the trenches. One hundred and seven Confederate officers, including one Brigadier Gen eral, and one thousand prisoners arrived in the ci ty this morning, captured in' the fight last night near Franklin, Tenn. A great battle may momen tarily be expected. The British North American Con federation. The scheme of Confederation proposed for the British North American colonies was getting along finely until within a few days. There had been two convocations of delegates to consider the matter, and that which had last assembled adopted a form of constitution. The details of this instrument were under discussion in an amica ble way, when some of the parties concerned al lowed hints to drop that it was their intention to have it adopted without a vote ly the people. The high pressure method of doing things whitdt was adopted by the leaders of the Rebellion in the United States was the model for action, and ' the design was proclaimed of adopting the new Constitution, and making it the law of the land by the votes of the legislatures, the members of which were not chosen with any reference io this important matter, which has been sprung upon the people since the provincial elections. This method of overriding the will of the people is ■ advocated seriously by some of the Canadian journals, one of which contends that “it is a “ dreadful American heresy to contend that the “ people should be consulted before such things “ are done."' This is high tory doctrine, and al though the inhabitants of the British provinces have a horror of Yankee fashions, they are not so stupid as to consent to aii arbitrary proceeding which would make slaves of them at the will of a very few persons. They insist upon their tight to pronounce their opinions on the new Con stitntion. “The omnipotence of Parliament," a mischievous phrase, which has been frequently used to justify absolute wrong, does not deceive them into a submission to the project of changing their institutions without their own authority.— The British North American Parliaments or As semblies are creatures of the Provincial Constitu tion, 1 , and they have no right to Change, the fun damental law which gives them authority, with out an appeal to the primary source of power. There is already considerable excitement over the proposition, and, unless it is withdrawn, there will be trouble. The Canadians, particularly, are qnarrelsome’ over the most innocent questions. Here is a hone of contention which would stimu late them into bitter controversy. Perhaps the attempt may bo made to ride them down by the omnipotence of Parliament. If it is, there will be lively times among the Blue Noses, in which the native element of French descent will take an important part. A Watch with o»e Wheel. —A watchmaker In San Francisco, named Otto Weiderow, has succeeded in producing a most ingenious pieces of mechanism. He has invented and manufactured a watch thai has only one wlicel. This wheel, a mainspring, and a very little other machinery, is so arranged that the watch, when set going, winds itself up, and it will ran two years. It would run forever, if the material would hold out, but the ingenious inventor says it is necessary to take it apari once in about two years for the purpose of cleaning and repairing the worn parts. It is cer tainly a Very ingenious, yet a very simple and successful piece of work. Mr. Weiderow is also the inventor of a new sort of clock, with; engine movement, the pendulum of which is on top, and works like the ’walking beam of a steamboat. One of these ingenious and simple clocks, with silver dial, gold plated, and gold hands, has been manufactured tor exhibition at the Mechanics’ Fair, fa that city. jy The Sbleswig-Hoistein question, after a abort bnt decisive war between Denmark and Ger many, b«a been settled by Denmark ceding the three duchies of Sblesvig, Holstein, and Danen beig to the victors, and pays to the duchies a fixed sum (about eight end a half millions of rigsdalars,) for their claims to the common property of the for mer Danish monarchy. Shleswig and Holstein will be held by the Prussians and Austrians until the German Diet shall have decided the rival claims of the Orand Doke of Oldenburg to succession in ft* two double*, and Denmark will also par for the'shipping captured and destroyed far her fleet. The fag powers bare nearly squelched the little «?e. ; | October Election—Vote of Penn- | sylranja. The Harrisburg Telegraph gives the following, which, it says, may be regarded as the official vote of Pennsylvania, for Congressional Bepresentatives, at the October election.. In compiling this vote we bad to be governed by thb returns as made by the different Prothonotaries, and as the majority of these officials made no distinction in what was called the “ home ” and the “ soldiers' vote,” the aggregate of both votes only are given in the tabu lar statement below. In older to get the “home” and the “ soldiers’ vote,” circulars have been issued from the. State Department, requesting the different Prothonotaries to ■■ furnish statements of the polls in the camps containing Pennsylvania soldiers and in the different election districts throughout the State. It is now conceded, in official circles, says the Telegraph, that it will be impossible to ascertain correctly the result of the home vote "at the October election, for the reason that manv Pro thonotaries felled to make the necessary distinction in their returns. This being the case, bets which were made on that result, can never be fairly decided, f Indeed, we understand that in Philadel phia and elsewhere, all such bets are being with drawn.

A letter from St. Louis 10-tbc Cincinnati Com mercial narrates the.adventnres of a Rebel woman who has just been arrested by the Government de tectives in Missouri. Her name is Kate Beattie, wife of the notorious guerilla chief, Buck Beattie, famous in the Southwest. ;Sbo has been coming and going from and to the South, since the war commenced, and has conveyed large sums of gold from the Rebel lines, for the purpose of cariring on some of the Rebel plans for liberating prisoners, burning steamboats or Government warehouses. Mrs. Beattie ia a highly Intelligent woman, not twenty years old, with light blue eyes, and light hair cropped close to her "head. ’ When arrested she wore a wig with luxurious black curls, which she shook over her head and shoulders with grace. She is the author of a book oh slavery called “ Woman’s Fate,” and is well known to and liighly esteemed by the Rebel Generals in the Southwest. She is beautifully forraed,’and has a dash and abandon of manner well; calculated to carry her through. Major Enoch O. Wolf, Confederate States Army, was to have been shot on Friday last, in retaliation for (he murder of Major Wilson, Uni ted States Volunteers, but "proceedings were stayed by an order from the President, until he examined the case. On the night preceding the execution, however, and before the order countermanding it was published, Major-General Rosecrans received a message from “ Mrs. Major Wolf,” requesting an interview. This message; was sent to Major- General Rosecrans’ room at the Linden Hotel, and he replied that he would see the Indy in the parlor. The interview took place, and the lady begged with tears and supplications for the life of her husband, Major Wolf. ■ General Rosecrans was about to tell her that he had received the President's respite, but his suspi cions were aroused by the appearance and conduct of the woman, so he requested her to return to her room and he would attend to her case. She re turned, making the halls echo with her wailings. In the meantime Acting Provost Marshal-General Colonel Joe Dorr was informed of the Rebel ma jor’s wife, and he paid heir a visit and took her parole not to leave the room at the hotel until next morning, when he premised her an interview with’her husband. ' She was nest questioned as to her real name, &c., when she acknowledged that she was not Mrs. Major Wolf, but Mrs. Kate Beattie. She stated that she is the daughter 'of Mrs. Colonel Sharp, how in Europe, operating for the Confederacy : that her name was Miss Kate Brown ; that she was educated in one of the first seminaries in Massachusetts, but acquired a love for the Catho lic faith, and early became a convert. She wears a rich ebonv cross, which she presses to her lips with fervor, and swears that she will die rather than reveal her purposes here, or the name of any of her accomplices. She has a Treasury permit to purchase and send into the South six thousand dollars’ worth of goods, and has purchased large quantities of mili tary goods, gold lace, gilt buttons, stare, sashes. &c." Although she had plenty of money when making the purchases, done hardly was found among her effects, which' include disguises of different kinds. It has since been ascertained that Mrs. Beattie has been operating here-’veir extensively as a Rebel agent and spy. She made her head-quarters at a fashionable Reuel milliner’s on Fifth street, and, through her assistance,, supplied Rebel ladies South with finery. The millinei is in One of the female military prisons here, and is awaiting trial before a military Commission. A Great Rajikoad (Tudeetakino. — The work of t unneliug the Alps for railroad purposes is so slow, compared with the necessities of inter nal trade and travel between France and Italy, that it is contemplated to fmild a railroad over the mountains on one of* the military roads construc ted by the first Napoleon. The tunnel will not be completed in less than twelve years, but the rail road ban be built in two. When itis remembered that the summit of the pass through the moun tains is seven thousand feet above the level of the sea, with gradients ahsome joints of one in twelve, the descent equaliy rapid, the difficulties of the undertaking may be imagined. A locomotive expressly for such ascents and descents has been constructed. The railway will be covered with galleries of wood, iron and stone to protect it from avalanches and snow drafts. The project Aas been favorably received by tbe Italian government, and, English capitalists propose to build it. It will shorten the overland route to India five hun dred miles. ' ggk, A general order has been issued by Adju tant General Russel, diiecied to the commission ers of the several cities and counties of the Com monwealth, ordering an immediate enrollment and classification of all able bodied white male citizens within their.respective limits, liable to enrollment under the militia laws of the State. This order bos been rendered necessary by. reason of the fail ure to raise by volunteering that portion of the Pennsylvania State Guard ordered into service some Three months since. The apprehended raids on our border by thieving binds of rebels require an immediate organization Of tbe State Gnard, and file will be commenced at once. How Tbbaron A3ST> Imbbciutt Should be PransHED. —The following extracts from Gen.. Scott’s personal memories, just published, are of special interest and applicability now; Speaking of Aaron Burr’s acquittal, he says: “ This is to be regretted—not that the thirst for blood was not slaked on the occasion ; bnt because there never having been an execution in the Uni ted States for the highest of crimes, our people were, in 1832 and 1801, still untaught a most needful lesson—that playing at treason is a dan gerous game. Hence to threaten treason has be come an ordinary party device in nominating Presidents, and in factious debates even oa the floors of Congress ; hence nullification in 1831-2, and hence the present (1803) mighty rebellion. It is a striking fact that three of our ex-Vice Presidents—Aaron Burr, J. C. Calhoun and J. C. Breckenridge—became each in bis day a leader of treason." Qf the disasters to our arms in the beginning of the war of 1812, be writes ; —“Thepatriot render, stirred with indignation at the deplorable loss of national character, life and property sustained by- Hull’s surrender; the surprise of Chandler at Stony Creek ; the capture of Boerstler at Beaver Dam ; the abandonment of Fort George by Mc- Clure ; the vacillation and helplessness of at least three Generals and many Colonels in the disaster at Chrystler’s—will ask at every turn : Whitt! Shall not fatuity, incapacity, ignorance, imbe cility—call it as you may—in a commander—of whatever rank—be equally punished with cowar dice, or giving aid and comfort to the enemy ? Shall a dull man, who ascertains that he can get a little money in the army—not having the ability to earn his bread at home—and accordingly, ob tains a commission—shall a coxcomb, who merely wants a splendid uniform to gratify his peacock vanity—be allowed unnecessarily to’ lose his men by hundreds, or by thousands, to surrender them in mass, or to cause them to be beaten by inferior numbers; shall such imbeciles escape ignominious punishment ? In every such case humanity—as louldly as justice—calls for death.’’ An American Lady Married to a Prince.— The New York Herald's Paris correspondent writes: Another American lady has Just been added to the list of those who have found husbands and titles in Europe. Miss Mary Lee. of New York city, was married at the American Minister’s ycsteiday, to the Prince of Schleswig-Holstein, uncle of the Duke of Augustenhergx v As the Prince belongs to a royal family he could not, with his royal title, contract other than a morgan atic marriage with a commoner: so he renounces his title of Prince of Schleswig Holstein, and is married to Miss Lee in the most regular and (legitimate manner, under the title of the Duke de N’oer, which he holds from an Austrian estate.— He is very wealthy and accomplished, and is sixty five years of age, while ;he bride is only thirty.—' On Wednesday the civil ceremony was performed at the Mairee. The marriage service was con ducted yesterday at the Minister's by the Kev. Dr. Sunderland, pastor of the American chapel here ; and to-morrow the third marriage will take place in the Lutheran church. Several American Jadies have married titles in France. Two daughters of General Harney bear the title of Countess, and a daughter of Mr. James Phalen, of New York, some three years since, became the wife of the Vicomte de Gabriac. 13,859 Earth Not ocr Aiudixg Place.—Bulwer elßquently says :—“I cannot believe that, earth is man’s abiding place. It can’t be that our life is cast upon, the ocean of eternity to lioat a moment upon its waves and then sink into nothingness ! Else why is it that the glorious aspirations, which leap like angels from the temple of our heart, are forever wandering about unsatisfied ? Why is it that the rainbo.w and clouds come ever with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse upon their favored lovliness ? Why is it that the stars, who hold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of our human faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view, and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back like Alpine torrents upon our hearts ? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth ; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades—where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean—and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.
