ADVANCE OF THE ENEMY,
OPERATIONS OF GEN. MORGAN.
Destruction Of Railroad Bridges.

1 II 3
Especial Despatch to the Savannah Republican
MuRFREEsBoRo', Dec. 2S.-The enemy made
a general advance yesterday, driving in our
pickets. Heavy cannonading was kept up
until dark.
Our advance having fallen back, we were
last night heavily reinforced, with orders to
take the former position at all hazards.
Heavy firing continues this morning. and
general engagement is expected tomorrow.
. Gen. John II. Morgan entered Glasgow on
Christmas eve. and after brisk fight drove the
enemy from the square, capturing and killing
large number. Our loss was one Captain
and one Lieutenant
The next day Gen. Morgan burnt all the
bridges betweeh Munfordsville and Eliza
BEETHOVEN, and destroyed fifteen miles Of rail
road
Our army is in line of battle, but there has
been no fight to day.
The enemy are estimated fifty thousand
strong, and their object is supposed to be to
flank Us and cut OFF Chattanooga.

THE LOSSES AT FREDERICKSBURG

RIcHMoND, Dec. 3o.-The Washington
Chronicle is much enraged at President Da-
Wis proclamation, and characterizes it the
most disgraceful paper yet issued by that
greatest of Gascons of the Southern Cnnfede-
racy. 1t looks upon it7simply in the position of
a concerted movement on the part of the enc
mics of the Governpent North and South, to
have one of the most efficient and able Gene
rails removed from a position where he is doing
perhaps more damage to the rebel cause than
any other connected with the Federal Govern
ment.
The Chronicle abuses the New York Herald
and World for their slandees Of Butler, and
considers the proclamation as only another
instance of desperation of the rebel cause.
The Philadelphia Inquirer admits loss of
twelve thousand three hundred in the battle
at Fredericksburg, of whom eleven hundred
were killed. The Richmond Enquirer's COR
respondent says, on undoubted authority.
FOURTEEN hundred and ninety on our left and
nine hundred on our right, to say nothing of
the centre.

OBITUARIES.

5N.y .st Vi & .a Ed ~
Died, in Abingdon, Dec. 18th, 1862, Mrs.
CATHARINE u. KELLER, wife of VIM Keller, ESQ. !.
in the 59th year of her age. Adevoted wife and
mother, a true friend, a kind peighbor a consist
cnt christian, in connection with the Presbyteri-
an Church of this town, Mrs. Keller lived the
life, and we doubt not, died the death of the
righteous, though summoned into eternity with
but few hours warning.
Departed this life on Saturday morning last.
the 9th ult., Miss Ann W., daughter of Dr. H.
T. and Phebe J. Strong. For fifteen summers
had this lovely flower bloomed in the household
OF her parents, and cheered the lonely hours of
fifteen winters by her angelic sweetness of dis
position and conduct; then sweetly, calmly and
peacefully closed her eyes in death. The suf-
fering with long and painful illness, she ever
maintained the sweet, gentle and amiable .dispo-
sition that had characterized her whole life. AS
true friend, gentle and atfectonate sister, ami
able and obedient daughter, her death leaves a
mournful and cherries vacancy in the family
circle, OF which she was so long the light and
JOY. But while humanity has lost one of its
brightest and purest ornaments whileher farni-
~ has lost one OF its loveliest flowers, and her
associates one OF their truest friends, tbeyshase
the consolation OF Knowing that she is but trans
planted to brighter, purer and more congenial
cline, to bloom among the never whitening flow
ers and unending delights of an immortal exis-
tence in the bosom of the Divinity
Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not de-
plore thee,
Though sorrow and darkness encompass the
tomb,
The Savior has passed through its portals before
thee,
And the lamp Of his love is thy guide through
the gloom.
