Water Proofittoles.
Those of our patrons who are obliged
to do much out-door work will thank us
for the following inforniation, in case it
should prove what it is alleged. We take
it from the Scientific kinfrican, a paper
which can generally be re lied upon:
“If hot tar is applied to boot soles, it
will make them water-praiif. Let it be as
hotiaa the leather will befit without injury,
applying it with a swab aid drying it in
by fire. The operation may be repeated
two or three times during the winter, if
necessary. It makes thewsurface Of the
leather quite hard, so thatfit wears longer,
as well as keeps out the water. Oil or
grease softens the sobs, and does not do
=oh in keeping the water out. It is a
good plan to provide boots for winter dur
ing summer and prepare the soles by tar
ing; as they will then become,
before they
are *anted to wear, almost as firm as horn,
and will wear twice as lOUg as those an.
prepared." I

TIILIZIatty morning, DeCelL — lfine..4. m.!
Everything last night was bustld and
activity, as to day was the time fixed for
crossing the river. During the night the
Pontoons-were conveyed to the river, and
the artillery, consisting of one hundred
and forty-three pieces, placed in position
opposite the city. At five o'clock j this
morning the rebels fired two signal 'guns,
while durittg the latter part of the night
rockets were frequently seen within their .
hues.
/At five o'clock the construction of three
ridges in front of the city was commenced
When about half completed the enemy
opeued a murderous tire of infantry from
the houses on the-river bank. Up to this
time 'not a shot had been fired from, our
side. The engineerswere driven from the
bridges, and Several killed'and wounded.
At six- o'clock Gen. Burnside ordered all
the guni opened on the city. The can
nonade, which has continued without in
terruption up to the present time, is ter
rible. The city is on fire, and its destrue-
tion appears to be certain. The enemy,
about seven o'clock, opened with their
heavy guns from their works, but so far
have done no serious injury.
Geu. Franklin constructed his bridges
about three miles below the city, meeting
with but slight opposition. His troops
are now crossing. The gunboats are now
shelling the enemy about fifteen miles
down the river, where they have been con
centrating their threes during the past two
days.
The concentrated fire of our batteries
on the city has had the etrectlif driving
back the enemy's infantry, and the work
on the bridges has again been commenced.
The troops are all under arms near the
,river, prepared to rush over as soon as the
bridges are completed.
Tirelre o'clock, noon.—On the attempt
being made to finish the bridges onittri
front of the city, the rebel infantry again
opened their fire. The artillery in pimi
tiou was again opened on the city, the!, re
sult being that it was tired several riew
The enemy have used very little artil

endangerlheir own men, who are holing
the river front. Gen. Burnside hasj ust
issued an order to concentrate every a ail
able gun upon the city, under cover :of ithe

be finished. The killed and wounded so

PHILADELPHIA, December 11.—Spegial
orrespondence of Forney's Press sa's:
NASHVILLE, Nov. loth, P.
The rebels, under Gene. Joe Johmi(on.
Bragg, Cheatham, Forrest and Morgan.
have advanced and appeared in front, in
great force this morning, driving in our
pickets at every point. A battle is moMoini•
tarily expected near 'Hartsville; Rem•
forcements are going fcrward, and every
point will be strengthened. The recent
rebel victory at Hartsville has greatly em
boldened the rebels. In view of this,
eneral Negley takes the field in person
o-moi row.
Gem Mitchell will command the post of
Nashville, and is. rapidly organizing the
new troops under the orders of Geniral
Rosecrans, to form a reserve force to move
at any moment. The citizens are much
excited over the many rumors that are
being circulated on the streets, but the
greatest confidence is expressed in our
Generals and troops, as it is now generally
understood that the troops who surren
dered at Hartsville were petfectly new,
and became panic stricken when they
found themselves surrounded by the rebel
cavalry. •
No train came through from Gallatin
and Bowling Green to-night, and it is
feared that the rebels have possessioa of
some part of theroad. Forrest has realch
ed Clarksville, and holds that place with a
considerable force. Should a battle ocdur,
I will apprise you promptly, and send de
tails by telegraph.

headquarters, Army of the Potomac,
Thursday Evening.—But ltttle firing has
took,place between one and three o'clock,
during which time all the available batter
ies were placed in position. They then
numbered 176 guns. At a given signal ail
the'latteries opened on the city. The fire
was terrific, but the rebel sharpshooters .
could not be driven from their hiding
place. . •
The shot and ,
shell went crashing thro'
the houses, in many cases setting them on
fire, causing a dense:smoke, together with
the explosion of ,sti:large a quantity of
powder, almost hid the city from view.
It soon became evident that the bridges
conldznot be built eAcept by a: bulddash.
Vohinteers were calif* for to cross in
small boats. The order was no sooner is
sued than hundreds of braves stepped for
ward, but all could, not go. About One
hundred were;select and they were soon
on Weir way, while' the artillery threw a
perfect storm of iron hail on the opposite
banks. They reached the opposite shore,
but not without loss and with fixed bayo
nets they rushed upon the enemy, killing
several and taking 101 prisoners,who were
safely landed on this side.
At half-past four, two bridges were
finished opposite the city, when the troops
immediately began to cross over. The
enemy were soon driven from the city
back to their line of works.
The two bridges in front of General
Eranklin were successfully laid early in
the day, but his troops did not cross until
the two upper ones were ready. A suffi
cient force is now on the opposite side of
the river to resist any attack that is likely
to be mode. • ,
The rebels fired 'but few guns in the
morning, and none in the afternoon, al
though their works were in easy range.—
During the forenoon the rebels burnt the
Railroad bridge just outside of the city.—
Between thirty and forty houses were
burnt, mostly in the business part of the
city.
During the day between 8,000 and 9,000
rounds of ammunition were fired by our
artillery.
Everything is quiet to night, bat-the in
dications are that a battle will be fought

NEW YORE, Dec. 11.—The schooner
Alice, trom Point Peter, Guadeloupe, ar
rived this morning. She has aboard the
chief officers and crew of the ship Levi
Starbuck, of New Bedford, Capt. Mellon,
from New Bedford. When , five nays out,
bound- to the Pacific, on the 2d November,
she was captured by the rebel pirate Ala
bama, Capt. Semmes, who took all the
clothing and nautical instruments and set
her on fire. On the Bth November, she
also 'captured the ship T. B. Wales, of
Boston, Capt. Lincoln, from Calcutta for
Boston, 147 days out, with a cargo of salt
petre and gunny cloth. He took from her
the captain and crew and set her on fire.
The Alabama then proceededto Martinique,
arriving there at 8 a. m., on the 17th ult.
landing the officers and crews of both
ships. The U. S. ship San Jacinto ar
rived the same afternoon, and finding the
Alabama in port, immediately got under
weigh and proceeded outside of the har
bor, where she laid in wait for the pirate.
On the 18th at 10 p. m., the Alabama
got under weigh and escaped.
'The San Jacinto was lying outside the
harbor on the 22d.
The captains of the burned vessels would
take passage to Halifai. The crews have
arrived in the Alice.
Captain Semmes said that the ship I'.
B. Wales .Was the twenty-third vessel he
had burned.
The second mate and eight of her crew
joined the Alabama's crew, which now
numbers 150.
. . . -
Upon the arrival of the San Jacinto at
Martinique,'she furnished the brig Ham
mond, then in port with rockets, to be sent
up when the Alabama was leaving port.
The Alabama was furnished with a pilot
by the French authorities and it is sup
posed she was , piloted in a channel un
known to the officers of the San Jacinto.
The brig Hammond was immediately seiz
ed by the French authorities, and was still
in custody when the Alice left. The San
Jacinto was three miles out at sea, and her
Captain only heard of the escape of the
Alabama when the Alice came out.
The cargo of the T. B. Wales was valu
ed. at $20Q,000.
The Alabama dent into Martinique to
receive coal from an English brig which
went off with the Alabama.
It was reported at St. Thomas that the
Alabama had been piloted into the harbor
of St. Johns a few miles above and was
then taking in ooal and guns. This intel
ligence was sent to the San Jacinto.
Capt. Semmes boasted of his having
at one time been within 70 miles of Sandy
Hook.
