'Gem Hood, on the evening of withdrawing

by the enemy, who massed a heavy force
and threw it upon his center, composed of
Cheatham's and Bates' divisions. These
veteran troops gave way. Hood moved on
Columbia, where he was at latest dates. On
'Thursday, the 29th, there was another fight,
in which the enemy were badly whipped,
'losing one entire brigade captured. About
the same date Forrest captured an entire
brigade of cavalry and six hundred wagons.
The population of middle Tennessee and
Northern Tennessee and Northern Alabama

boy capable of bearing arms was hurrying to

at Huntsville in a week. That place had been
taken possession of by the Yankee regiments
from Point peak, but Rhoddy had been or
dere&to retake and hold it at all hazards.
Ten gunboats came up the Tennessee river,
and attempted to cross Muscle shoals. Mud

at Franklin Creek, Miss , only thirty
miles trom3lobile, having met but little
opposition. The rebels were busy
night and day endeavoring t,.) blockade
the water in front of the city, and the
rebel ram B'enville was expected down
the Alabama, from Selma, soon. A
force from Pensacola, under Gen. Mc-

Baldwin county, Alabama, twenty-five
miles from Mobile.
The Blockade runner Heroine rrcent

FROM FORTRESS MONROE
Gen. Buller's Command Nearly
all Bach from Wilmington—
Porter still Firing At Fort
Fisher.
FormtEss Nom:or, Dec. 30,—Nreatly
all the steamers comprising the portion
of the expeditionary fleet, under the com
mand of Major General Butler, which
sailed hence several weeks since, have
returned in safety, notwithstanding the
severe storm experienced along the coast,
and while anchored off Wilmington,
North Carolina.
The Santiago de Cuba and 'Fort Sack
son have been the only vessels attached
to the naval fleet which have as yet, ar
rived from off Wiimh'igton, and the latest
advices received from Admiral Porter
represent him as still subjecting Fort
Fisher to a vigorous bombardment.
The Norfolk Regime of to-day contains
the following correspondence from off
Fort Fisher, dated the 27 th of December.
The shore is strewn with broken boats,
mostly naval, which havp been wrecked
in one way or another. They lie strewn
along the beach from Fort Fisher to
Masonboro' inlet.
The North Carolina sa't v ‘l.l;s, at
Masonboro', were destroyed by fire last
Saturday. Many of the naval vessels had
withdrawn from these waters, and the
bombardment may said to have come
to an end.
Imy last letter it was insisted that
there was, from some cause, a want of
co-operation between the army and navy.
I think that I established that fact, but
let me say, to avoid all mistake, that
there were individual instances, and
quite a number of them, where naval
officers acted in concert with the army.
Two hundred and fifty ot the North
Caro!ina reserves, captured by Maj. Gen:
Butler in the vicinity of Fort. Fisher, dis
embarked from the steamer Baltic yes
terday afternoon, en route for Point
Lookout, Maryland.
The condition of these prisoners in ex
ceedingly wretched, many ot them be
ing without blankets or overcoats, and
iu some cases they were shoeless. Twc
thirds of the number, apparently, had
not yet reached the age 01'21, while the
remaining third of them ranged between
the ages of 12 and 1G years.
