MOBILE, Dec. PA special to the Aa
vertiSed & Register from Murfreesboro the

emy, 5000 strong. re-occupied Hartsville.
They refused, under flag of truce, to ex-
change parolled prisoners for our wound
ed, or permit us to remove the dead.
Nashville dates of the 9th say that the
abolitionists acknowledge loss of 60 kill
ed at Hartsville. The rebel force was esti-
mated at 1000. The abolition army is
greatly demoralized. There is no pros
pect of an aeIya.a<ss

will be superseded by McCooS.
St. Louis dates to the 7th say, it is re-
ported that Hindman and Marmaduke,
25 900 strong. were driven back by Blount
at Cave Springs, Arkansas. The next
day they drove in Blount's pickets, but
were repulsed. Blount had been holding
the rebels in check four days. The rebels
were falling timber to cover their retreat.
