SECOND DISPATCH. -.-..
The rebels having now concentrated at
Murfreesboro, Tenn, the Tennessee troops
are anxious to lay down their arms, but were
prevented by regiments from Mlssi- sipp.-
Gen. Buel had surrounded them, so that none
could escape The rebels offered to surren-
der the position ii allowed to march cut with
the honors of war, but Gen Buel refused, and
demanded unconditional surrender. He said
he would allow them two days for consdera-
ton, and if the place was not surrendered at
the expiration Of that time he would open fire
upon them. The time expired this morning.
Nashville was occupied on the 25th by Un-
ion forces. Gen. Nelson's brigade first en-
tered the city, and the flag of the Union was
hoisted OIL the State House by Gen. Nelson.
Many of the inh.b .bitants are strong seces-
sianists, but very many warmly greeted the
flag.
The rebel army left on Sunday, leaving be-
| hind some 500 sick and wounded of the Ft,
Donelson garrison. They destroyed bridges,
burnt all the steamboats, but one, which es-
capped. This one came to C.arksville to OBJ.
tain the aid of our gun-boats to prevent the
burning of the city. The Texan soldiers fred
the city in many places, bnt the citizens ex-
tinguished the flames.
A great many of the property owners re.
strained The excitement was intense Gov.
Harris made speech to the people, saying
T re had done all be could, and was going to
leave, and advised them to follow suit. The
Legislature adjourned in the utmost conster
nation. on receipt ofnews from Ft. Donelson.
Harris fed with the archives of the legislature.

AFFAIRs In THE NORTH.
We continue our extracts from the Nsw'YOr Herald
u = se ,C nor READY TO ADVANCE.

MCCLELLAN Nor READY TO ADVANCE.
The Herald in long article, replies to the New York
Tibuns structures on General Mcclellan for not ad-
varcng. The Tribune had said:
"Our armaments have cost the country not less than
one hundred and fifty Millions while those Of the rebels
Won be dear at fft mions. Ia fact sztsnsivs and
thorough haze been oar preparations hs though hdv
not yet reached decisive battle stand on the verge Of
national bankruptcy"
Tie Herald responds:
Mcclellan ia not ready yet to advance from Washing
ton nor will it. perhaps be ever necessary that he should
give battle on the Potomac. That river 70 not now the
true base Of operations but the Mississippi Tennessee
Cumberland aud Green are. Washington an intrench-
ed camp-a great military depot for and arms, and
munitions of war Bowling Green and Nashville just
now are OF more importance than Manassas and Rch-
mond Field Marshal Greeley would have Mcclellan
begin by rushing from the Potomac upon the mpreg-
nable position OF the enemy at Manassas But AcCle
Ian knows his profession better than that Instead Of
beginning with Manassas he will probably end with the
scene of former defeat and instead OF advancing upon
IL from the line Of the Potomac his blows will come from
direction which VII not only insure victory, but make
il conclusive BATTLE DESTROYING tue whole force Of the
enemy, and cutting off all chance Of retreat
We hope, therefore, that General Mcclellan will resist
every attempt 70 precpae events before he Is ready
and that the President and bis Cabinet will sustain him
in his course especially in view Of the fact that next
month the period Of enlistment In She Southern army
for one year will have expired, and great numbers Of
Inc rebels will refuse TO re-enlst Meantime il is the
duty of Congress to Tepensh empty Treasury, and
sustain the Government by such vigorous and eompre-
bensiye financial as the magnitude oil the war
for the Union demands.

THE COTTON SUPPLY IN EUROPE-How LONG
WILL IT LAST

The foreign news received yesterday by the Arabia
had a favorable influence upon the cotton market
Holders asked one cent per pound advance over preV
Gus current quotations. while sales were quite miIed
owing In some degree the absence Of spinners with
other purchasers kept eff by the extreme nclemeney
of the weather The stock here II very light, and sup
po,ed not to exceed much 1000 oaes Of available
cotton. The stock OF American 10 Liverpool on the
27b Of December 1861 We learn from the circular Of
the Liverpool Brokers' Association Price Current, was
2lC $50 bales against 40S 34 az the same time IN 1901
Since the 9th u sales bave been active, reaching, du
rng the week preceding the sailing oil the AraoiA eo
200 bales Allowing that due proportion oil the sales
have been made for export snoe the 2I.h u nciuong
some parcels 10 the UnleJ Sates and for consnmpuon
It ia fair to presume that by this time the stock Of AmeF
can cotton 10 Liverpool does eIceed 600 bales Al
a minimum weekly export and consumpiYe demand OF
80 900 bales week The consumption alone having ave-
ragged in $780, Al 900 per week. iE will be used up IN
about FIVE weeks Bus suppose we reduce the actual
oonsumpton down to 10000 bales per week, this will
only give supply OF seven 10 eight weeks from this
date and which will expire by the middle OF March or
tina LEI Of April at farthesL Ga the 9th uumo the
stock of East nda cotton in Liverpool embraced 2O5 100
bales and the supplies from all other countries amount
I'd 70 AZ 100 bales Ii must be remembered, however,
that the S.ght OF these bales, the average, is full
onehirt ess aud in one hall less than the
American and that to spin India cotton successfully re-
onres an Admxture Of American. Hence 1t may readily
be supposed tha. the stock OF all kinds in Liverpool can
not with any certainly go beyond period Of three
months 20 three and half months supply from this
dAR.
