Desperate Fighting of Federal Troops.
CENsURE OF COL. GILBERT.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March @.
There was fighting all day yesterday be-
tween Van Dorn's command and a Federal
force of three regiments of infantry, about
$40 cavalry and one battery, at Springville, Ii
miles south of Franklin. Col. Corburne's
three regiments were cut to pieces or captured
by the rebel forces. They fought desperately
until their ammunition became exhausted, but
the enemy were much superior in numbers.
Our cavalry and artillery got off safely. No
-einforcements from Gen. Gilbert at Franklin
reached the scene of action. There were
seven regiments OF Federals at that place.
Van Dorm is reported to have $4,000 men
under him.
Further details of the fight at Franklin yes
terday have been received. Five regiments
of infantry and one battery of the 18th Ohio,
with the 9th Penn. and the I'd Michigan cav
airy, all under command of Col. Coburne, of
the SD Indiana, advanced on Springville on
the 4th inst. Several spirited skirmishes oc-
Cured during the day, our troops camping
four miles distant On the 5th, a movement
Of the enemy was apparent, and during some
disorder on our left they suddenly opened on
our men with three batteries on different
points at the same time, and the enemy also
appeared on each faux in greatly superior
force. The unequal contest was maintained
with great determination and with heavy
losses on both sides, and resulted unfortunate
ly to our troops, large part OF the Sd lndi-
ana, 10th Michigan, 22d Wisconsin and s5th
Indiana, with most of their commissioned
officers, being captured. Our artillery and
cavalry were successfully withdrawn. The
l24th Ohio was out, but returned without
loss. All is quiet to-day, the rebels having
fallen back. Their force was infantry, with
heavier artillery than ours. Gen. Giberts
non-acticn in failing to reinforce Col. Coburne
is severely censured by the officers and men.

A GRAND EsrABLIsHMENT.-Capt Isaac
Barnum, who for years has carried on the
Grand Trunk Eating Saloon, and who has
thereby obtained distinguished reputation
as a caterer, has just finished the rooms in
the Goldman Block, Temple street, in hand
some style for an Eating House for ladies and
gentlemen. For style in fitting up, commodi-
business Of the apartments, ventilation, and
everything pertaining to first class estab-
lishment Of this kind, we do not believe there
Is anything In New England TO equal it. Up
wards Of 100 persons can be comfortably seat
ed at the tables in the principal room, and
there is fine private room where ladies and
parties can be accommodated IL they desire
it. The kitchen and cook rooms are SO ar
ranged that no effiuyia from them can es-
cape 10 the dining-rooms. There are also
conyeDiences, both for ladies and gentlemen,
for ablution. In short, Capt. Barnum has ar
ranged everything that could be thought of
in the best manner for the comfort of his
guests.
1t was not his intention TO open the estab-
lishment until next week; but the people in
sisted, and crowded in upon him for meals be-
fore he was quite ready, and he had to do the
best he could. He intends to have all the
luxuries and varieties the New York and Bos-
ton markets will afford, and to spread bill of
fare before his customers which would reflect
credit upon any saloon in the country. A
look at his pastry will satisfy any one that he
has got somebody in thatline that understands
his business; and all his other cooks have been
selected from among the best. Just drop in
and take look at the establishment, and see
II we have not told the truth about it.

"Sarannah, FEB. 2s-The steamer Nash

night, grounded on the sand bar before Fort
McAllister, and was discovered by the Yankee
fleet. A Yankee iron clad opened fire across
the marsh at the Nashville at 80 minutes past
Z o'clock, and continued il until 10 o'clock,
when an incendiary shell struck the Nashville
and set her on lire, and she is now a total
wreck. The fort fired upon the iron clad and
hit her twice. The other gunboats of the fleet
fired at the fort, but did no damage"
