MIMI pait t , cdtgrapt. HARRISBURG, PA SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1864 OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMEN TS. The TELEGRAPH has been Selected by the Secretary of the United States as the ineditum for the publication of the Public Laws, Treaties, prOmul gated-by the United States au-` thorities. FIZEI We close the business of the year 1864 to day. In history the past year will be the most memorable of any twelve months -since the Reformers broke the spell which h.d fallen on the religious world, and by Peir zeal, purity and achievements, shed 4 ' halo of real glory on the ' paths of theenations' progress. We need not go- from/ home for proof of what we assert. In a fear our own flagon has made greater strides in glory and greatness than in all the offlor years of our existence. Six years aga • we were looked upon by the governments of the world as a mere experiment our authority as a nation being barely recognized, and our system of rule still viewed as the uncertain experi- ment of man's attempt at self 7 governmeza. Two years ago every nation iii Christendom waited for the near approach of our complete destruction. It was believed throughaift the civilized world that the American Unio-n' was on the brink of ruin, that the claim of self government was a failure, and that, as a na tion, the American, people must sooner or later be absorbed by the governments of the old world. The emissaries of the slave-hold ers' rebellion; in Europe, had so farsucceeded• in gaining the ear of royalty, as to render our cause exceedingly precarious in that direction. Aid and comfort from abroad were given to the rebel effort, until, as we have already as erted, one year ago the -cause of the Ameri can Union was regarded as ahrwt, if not as entirely hopeless. But twelve Short months have worked a wondrous change. In that time our armies and navy have completely overwhelmed the traitors on the land and the wave. While these achievements were in progress, the people at the ballot-box were winning like victories. In the face of every possible falsehood which the malevolence of the political enemy could coin; in disregard of asserted tyranny, and with a full knowl edge of the burdens which the war created, the people declared, at the election in Noveni ber, that the war should go on while there was a traitor in the field to oppose the just au thority of the • Government. That declara tion constituted a victory against treason which the traitors themselves have conceded to be fatal. It established the patriotism of the people, and with that on a firm basis the Government need fear no enemy. The year 1864 closes encouragingly for the, cause of the Government. Another such a twelve months of• like events, aid peace will be undoubtedly restored. We will. enter on the year 1865 with the army and navy vietori ons—with the national credit immeasurably improved—with the rebellion reduced to the most desperate straits—with the loyal popula tion of the free States ready to to obey any call for the support of the national• authority —and with the certainty that the policy of the Government for the enforcejnent of its just authority, will not be changed for at least four years to come. These influences combine to render the nation better governed, freer and happier than it ever was in the past. It is for the people to decide whether these influences shall continue, by the support which they will hereafter give the Government. If those in authority are sustained, if the army and navy are upheld and recruited, we will not only be able to crush our intestine foes, but we can shake our victorious swords in the face of the world, and bid defiance to all our enemies. At the close of the year .1864, the American people find themselves in reality fhe. strongest nation on the face of the earth.— Our resources are inexhaustible. We have a larger credit and more means, to support it, than any of the civilized people of the world. Ours is actually the strongest Government in existence, because it has withstood, the secret and open efforts of all the other governments to break it down. Oar freedom is the purest that any people ever enjoyed. We recognize no inequalities but those created by crime.— The poor man of to-day may be the rich man of to-morrow. The paths of prosperity are open to all alike. This is our condition at the close of the year 1864. And for all that we possess and are, God alone deserves the credit. • The Position of Jeff Dat-is When the rebellion was precipitated, the leaders who had devised its plans and prepared the people of the South for its bloody pur poSes, were sanguine of success. Indeed so certain were the % miscreants of triumphing, that they had actually arranged what States of "the old Union" slould be , apportioned, to their control, where they would live and rule the Yankee as the petty tyrants of the old world govern the masses under the4r domination. Jeff Davis encouraged this , aspiration in his tools. Davis had cajoled himself with the faith that he could set up a throne in the South, which would be occupied by hiinbelt and a long line of his descendants. With this purpose in view, the arch-traitor labored in cessantly to connect his name with all the operations of the rebellion. He allowed no campaign to be arranged without seemingly controlling its details. - Re acquiesced in no expedition °Fa rebel gunboat, unless' he was permitted .to direct its course. The rebel Congress could not move in any enactment unless he - was first consulted. Thus Jefferson Davis•hoped so to idemnify his name with the progress of the rebellion, that at its anticipated success, its glory and its beneftte would plo-(• • oflentAd in himself and 431 k =9 =I joyed by his family. He wished not °sly to be regarded as the fomenter Of treason. byt as the instrument' which promoted alone, success of rebelliati. With these qualities stablished . and recognized, and rebellion access, De vis expected to wear a crown hold a seep tre. We are satisfied he wo have done so, had it not keen fi;r certain eitingencies grow ing out of the operationsif the Eederal army and navy. Bat alas .0 Jeff, he cannot es cape his responsibin• As he was anxious to control all movedents of the rebellion in order that he miet monopolize the benefits of its success, -t is now becoming apparent that his folleefers are forcing on Jeff all the oditim of , donfederat, "faiTure. The Rich mond piv 6 m are indulging in very rough abuse. of “P v sident Davis." They , . blame Jeff 'for Hoo..'s disaster and Hardee's necessities.— Thy reproach -him with having interfered ,rith the well digested plans of the rebel army and navy officers, and thereby invoked defeat on the rebel cause. Indeed, just as pay.is labored and hoped to centre in his per son and cluster around his name, all the credit and glory of rebel success, so is he now feeling all the crushing weight, odium, dis grace and reproach of rebel failure. He is now undoubtedly the most unpopular man in the rebel States: Who will doubt that this is not one of the logical results of treason? FROM GEN: THOMAS' ARMY [rBOAr OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] HEADQUARTERS 7TH DIV. CA.V.A_LRY CORPS, Kuzma , DINISION lassissrelsr, EDGEPERIA Thor.. Deo. 28, 1864. ' Since the battle of Chattanooga, fought more than one year ago, my muse seems to have groin sleepy in her songs of the war, but the recent brilliant victories around; Nashville, achieved by the hero of Chickamauga and his invincible army, roused the classic maid of Olympus from her state of lethargy, and I come to you once more from the scene of action. Unlike my friend Cunningham, of the New York Herald, who is now here, now there, like some magician or genii of old Persian le gend, I cannot sing peans of praise or recount, in glowing terms; the deeds of the whole army, military rules and military duties, confined my observation to one section of the battle field, Awl as purchased puffs have robbed a brave leader and his gallant command of the credit of many brave actions, I shall give "honor to whom honor is due." On the morning of the 15th of December, at day dawn, a few stray shots, faint and echo like, rang out on the morning air like signals along our right in the low land across the N. and N. W. Railroad. Like a small spark it was the kindling of a great fire, and by 10 o'clock, A. ar., the roar of artillery and the rattle of musketry burst out along Smith's corps on the right, and soon swept over to the left, in sullen and irregular vollies. Grandly betilittful appeared the infantry with their starry battlellags as they moved in two lines through the valley, supported by the cavalry corps under General Wilson. which consisted of the divisions of Knipe, Johnson and Hatch: At all points on the left the en emy yielded ground, were driven headlong through forest aria field, and his whole flank rolled up on his right, so that by two o'clock Hatch was able to form on the right of the infantry and Knipe on the extreme right of the army. At four o'clock, r. Ix., Knipe pushed forward to the Hillsboro' pike, advanced a short dis tance onthis road and forming in line moved to the left, and at dark found himself in the rear of Cheatham's (rebel) corps. So close was the division on the enemy that his wagon train loaded with forage was captured, and many prisoners who came in from foraging and scouting, and supposed they were enter ing their own picket lines. Capt. Simmons made a reconnoissance with the escort, and discovered a wagon train, of a hundred wagons, on the Granny White pike. A regiment was sent out to capture it, but the Commandant takhig the wrong road the train escaped. About 11 o'clock, Y. ntr. a scout of Forrest's was taken by our videttes on the Hillsboro' pike, and brought in to headquarters. He was a shrewd, fox-like fellow, well educated, possessing a large stock of valuable informa tion and the audadity of old Satan himself.— He cooly seated himself when brought before the General, asked for a drink of water with the ease and eloquence of a Chesterfield, and then hinted in unmistakable 'and elaborate terms for a chew of tobacco. At 3 o'clock, A. ar., of the I'th, Hatch hav ing failed to connect with our left, the divi sion fell back to the right of the Hillsboro' pike, leaving a squadron of the 19th Penna. cavalry to hold the gap. At V) o'clock the enemy appeared in force in our front and on our right flank. A sharp fight soon took place, but the bold charges of ourtroops, led many times by General Knipe in persofi, drove them from every height, and by dark the division*bad taken Brentwood, driven the .enemy six miles, and made several splendid cavalry charges, taking some hundred pris oners. On the-17th the division in advance pushed on to Franklin, fighting with the enemy's rear guard and taking prisoners and flags on the way. The bridge over the river at Frank lin being destroyed by a detachment of the enemy, part of which was captured, the cav alry forded,and, with Knipe again in advance, charged through the streets of F--after the flying rebels. Hundreds of wounded _Federal soldiers who had been captured after its evac nation a few weeks before,hobbling on crutches and limping on castes, crowded to the .doors of the hospitals and cheered lustily as the Federal column charged through the• place. Some correspondent, whose thirst for mo ney and literary fame is greater than his love of truth and veracity, has informed the world that Gem Hatch, with nine men captured three pieces of artillery pear Franklin. This would sound well in fiction, or make an escel lent yarn for marines, but Gen. Knipe's com mand took the artillery with its colors on the first: charge, pushed, ahead, and left Hatch's command to take it to the rear, where cor respondents were found to trumpet deeds never performed and.weave gaudy laurels for 'imaginary heroes. .Three miles beyond Franklin, on the Colum bia pike, the enemy took, up a strong position 'on the hills around Hollow-tree Gap, and in the front line placed troops wearing the Fed eral great-cbat. A portion of the division hav ing moved to the rear of one of the ridges ty the flank, it was at first supposed the rebels had surrendered, and our line moved steadily up the ridge and through the gap till within a.tew yards of the enemy's line, when they opened on our line with a heavy fire of inns ketilknd artillery. The vollies were terrific, but too high..to do much damage. Capt. Reeder, of the etat had his second horse shot under him, and a number of casualties occurred in the command, Thich fell back a short dis tance under a galling fire, reformed and with a stern determination stormed the ridge and drove-the enemy in contusion, At Rutharford'a crea. 1 5. inilos from Frank lin, the cavalit corps baited to await the com ing up of ammunitionand subsistence, and the bridge over Big Harpeth river being comple ted, the 4th corps crossed, pushed rapidly for ward in advance of the cavalry, and found the enemy's rear guaid in position near_'OsitAli* On the morning of the 19th, whileß*l4 erford's creek, an order Was receiiedly Oen. Knipe to move his headquarters - to - Lomsville or Nashtille and remount the dismounted brigade of his division, and in a. brief apace of time the general and staff was moving throUgh a storm of wind, hail and rain for We tarried during the night of the 19th in the village of Franklin, and spent a pleasant evening at the residence of widow Carter, whose charming daughter, with the rich melody of her song mingled with the tuneful tones of her piano, drowned all thoughts of the - next day's ride, and caused us to forget the hardships of the rapid cam paign. On the morrow we started early, and reach ing Nashville by noon, established head quarters near the city in a splendid edifice, situated on a breezy eminence on the banks of the Cumberland. On this campaign General Snipe's Division was first in the rear of Hood, captured 2,800 prisoners, two general' officers, three pieces of artillery and four stand of colors: No di vision of the cavalry corps can boast of doing as much, and I think all will concede that none more richly deserve the 'second star than its commandant WILL.

Gen. Grant's Army. Heavy Cannonading and Picket Firing REPORTS OF A DESERTER. Lee About to Astottleh the World Return of General Butler. Information from City Point is to the effect that heavy cannonading was kept. up during Wednesday and Thursday night, as well as severe picket skirmishing along em. line in the immediate front o 1 'Petersbnig. Several casualties are reported. • There was considerable firing in front of. Richmond on Wednesday Afternoon, :and along the line of the rear picket guard. Recent maw:envies in the rebel line indi cate unusual commotion among them; but nothing is known respecting its capie. It is thought that Lee has been sending reinforce ments both toward Lynchburg to oppose Sheridan's advance, and to Wilmington, to prevent thp landing of our expedition against that city. One hundred and fifty prisoners took the oath of allegiance at City' Point, on Tuesday, and were sent North yesterday. Since then but few have been received within onr lines, as the present condition of the enemy's forces is not, favorable to their escaping. A rebel deserter, who came in a few dais ago, declares that the„state of affairs in the rebel army indicates early offensive opera tions in some direction, the nature of which is, however, unknown; but the men are told that General Lee is about attempting the in itiation of a project which will astonish the world. General Butler returned to his headquarters on the James River on Wednesday. He left the land forces in the Wilmington expedition under the command of General Weitzel. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF An Expedition Under General Granger Against Mobile. A LARGE FORCE LANDED AT PASCAGOULA Mobile Defended by Militia Only • 'NEW Ciampi . % Dec. 210 , via Cairo, Dec. 30: The news of the capture of Savannah caused general rejoicing among the Union people here, and a corresponding depression among the rebels. The markets were considerably excited. ' ' An expedition under General . erringer, in considerable force, landed at Pascagoula on the 15th, and pushed rapidly on towards Mo bile. A brief skirmish occurred on the 15th, 'near Franklin Creek, and the rebels were ghickly routed. Many Of the people rejoiced at the sight of the Union tomes. 'The many rendered valuable assistance to the troops in landing. - Two tin-clad gunboats have just = gone up the Pascagoula river thirty ;rages, and every thing is progressing favorably. . Refugees report - but 5,000 militia in Mobile, and that a strong Union sentiment prevails there. .

THE EXCIUSGE OF FRISONEIIS IN TEAS-FIRE AT NEW YORK, Dec. 80. 7 --The steamship George .Washington, from New Orleans on December 24th, arrived this evening. The New Orleans papers are nearly barren of news. A Galveston (Texas) paper contains the fol lowing: "Yesterday, December 12th, three hundred and forty-three exchanged Federal prisoners were sent out to the blockaders, and twelve females and children—among them Mrs. Jack Hamilton and Mrs. Judge Duval.— The prisoners delivered yesterday , were ex changed for all oar prisoners captured in Fto!t Gaines.

They further sta ted that the surgeon did not consider the wound mortal, though they themselves thought differently.. This, we are disposed to believe, is the correst rumor of the lament able casualty. We heard last night that Col onel Moseby had been carried to Charlotts vine." • The Rielinaoncl,journals are debating the. subject of appointing General Lee as com mander-in-chief of all the rebel armies. The Enquirer of the-27th says: "As long as General Grant moves and di rects the operations of all the armies against Richmond, either by direct attack or by co operating movements, it is proper and ne cessary tnat General Lee should be entrusted with power equal to that possessed by his antagonist. A commander-in-Chief in the field, with power to move and direct all ope rations that tend directly. or indiiiietly to the defence of Richmond, is now absehitely . de manded by our situation. The experience and knowledge of the President would still be of great service to the country;-'but it: is not mistaking, the case to say that the country reposes more confidence in the experience of General Lee than in' that of any other man. "We helipve that we but echo the voice and wish of the whole country when we call upon the Congress to create by law a generalissitho of all the armies„ and. that the President would feel it to be his duty to, appoint Gen eral Lee to that position, and that such action by the legialatiSe and executive grout d revive the confidence of the country." , Rubbery of Quartermasters' Vouchers., CiwcrswATT,'Dec. 29. .
