SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1864.
Great Battle in Tennessee.
1,000 PRISONERS TAKEN.
Compute Rout of Rebel Forces.
IMPORTANT FROM NASHVILLE.
BATTLE MOMENTARILY EXPECTED.
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

| 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.

Adventures of a Rebel Woman.
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.

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.
