A private letter received here from
Paris, Dec. It'll, states that the impress
sion among the French is that the policy
of Drouyn De l. Hugs cannot last, and
change of Ministry is not uncertain be-
fore February. That at the last council
ut the Tuillcries the Presidents Message
was pronounced wise, and all the South
could ask. Upon the same authority the
letter states that the Emperor ass abau-
doned his penchaEt for the South. An
other good sign is that the Aoniteur has
been thrown upon the defence by the
universal disapprobation which the pro-
posal5 for an sfmlstce encountered. One
article even stated that the government
had never expected that the blockade
was to be suspended during the armis-
tice. The Presidents Message produced
an exultant effect, and has not been sue
cesstuiy assailed IN any quarter, while his
earnestness, moderation and forbearance
have captivated all who looked 1t It
fairly.
It appears that during tie reosnt cap
ture Of Holly Springs by the Confeder-
a,es under Van Dorm, they burned hos
pital Just ready for occupation, although
Van Dorm promised it should be spared.
This WAS ono OF the finest in the South
ern department, having o,0OObunks, IN
immense lot Of drugs and surgical appara-
tus. thousands Of blankets, sheets, etc.
This proceeding was in violation of o
promise, and all rules OF civilized warfare,
and is an evidence of the bsrbarity and
want Of principle in Confederate officers.
An attempt was also made to destroy the
general Hospital, which contains over
500 sick. BY order OF Van Dorm lot
of ordnance stores, which had been stor-
ed in the building, consisting of powder,
shells and cartridges, were piled in front
of the ho.pitsl and fired. Medical Off
GERS protested against this, but were
treated with contempt, and before there
was tine to remove the sick the walls
were riddled with flying balls and shells,
and 6nally an explosion shook the bald
ing, destroying every door and window,
and wounding about 20 men. 1t was by
the utmost exertion that the hospital was
saved No shelter for the men from the
night air.
Added to this a rebel cavalry officer,
who stated he had been detailed by Van
Dorm to march OF every sick nan who
had not leen paroled, collected togeth-
er, pistol in hand, about $50 soldiers
forced them to rise from their beds and
fall into line, threatening to shoot the
medical officers who expostulstcd, and
made ths poor fellows, suffering from
typhoid fever, pneumonia. ana disrrhoea
start with them. The men fell down in
the streets, and had to rise again, for fear
of being shot. when they where SO weak
that the slightest motion was agony. On
being importuned, if there was anything
in the name of humanity that could be
done to induce him to stop his brutal
proceedings, he final consented to let
them alone, on receiving paper signed
by al the surgeons present, stating that
the men were too sick to walk, and that
their removal was an impossbility.
This statement is signed by Ii. X.
Wirtsder, 18th army corps.

SAIHOs S6u.
By an arrival from the mouth Of the
Yazoo to-day, We have authentic -
counts from Vicksburg. 80
Sherman's rcpulse WAS complete. 0lIs
entire force, under the direction Of Gen.
McClcrnand, re-embsrked on Saturday
on the transports, closely pressed by the
rebel advance, coming in range Of the
Cunboa,s. The rebels were driven off
with severe loss by the guns Of the fleet
The entire fleet and transports, with
the troops on board, Lad reached Island
No. 60 at last accounts, and were on their
way to Napoleon.
Nothing definite had vet been heard
from B.nka aud Farragut, though ru,
mors OF their advance were plenty.
All hands agree that the attack on
Vicksburg by Sherman was premature.
The General himself evidently did not
expect TO meet the force he did, - he re-
marked before debarking his troops that
"a hours after landing he should be in
Vcksburg. lie seems also to have failed
to co operate with the fleet at the attacks
on .he battery at Hsine's Bluffs, as had
been agreed upon. That stson, noia is
yet uninjured.
! Gen. Sherman is charged with having
detained the steamers from coming up, in
order to conceal his misfortune; TO have
opened and read letters Of corIespon
dents there, and to have eul pressed some
Of them. lie also threatened 10 put the
correspondents in front, and set them to
carving powder. This is the unanimous
testimony Of those who have arrived to
day.
The engagement. WAS less general than
heretofore reported.
The principal fighting was done by the
centie. under command OF smith and
Blair. The conduct Of the latter IL nigh.
~ spoken Of lie had one horse shot
under him, and then led his troops on
foot.
Our loss, A. near AZ can be determin-
ed, was 600 killed, 1900 wounded, and
about 1000 missing. Capt. Gwiu died
on Saturday.
Gen. Grants forces are marching to
Memphis, where his headquarters will
be in a day or two.
\ From movements on the river it would
appear that McClernsnd will be largely
reinforced. Gen. Ewing. Of Ohio, is
here, with one regiment of bis brigade,
bound down the river.
I The steri-wheel steamer Jacob Mussel
man Was burned by the guerrilIas ut
Bradley's Eddy. ten miles above Mem
phis, on the afternoon OF the 9Th. She
had landed for the purpose of taking on
board 100 bales Of cotton. The boat
and cotton were burned. Tho Clara
Belle, which passed short time after,
saw 10 one on shore. A part Of the crew
and passengers escaped in bosts.
On the morning Of the sth, at day
light, Capt. Moore, Of the "a Illinois cav
airy, with detachment from the SID
Indiana and 32d Iowa, in all lOl men,
and all mounted, attacked rebel camp
Of 800 a, uin,on's Mills, on Knob creek,
35 miles east Of Fort Pillow. The reb-
els were completely routed -lG killed,
48 taken prisoners, and so horses and
fine lot OF small Hrms captured. Our
loss was two slightly wounded, and two
horses killed.
The expedition was absent from Fort
Pillow only about "a hours.
These facts are ascertained from Cbas.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE IN
NASHVILLE UNION.
OF THE

The NASHVILLE UNION was commenced last spring
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con-
federacy and Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement, over all the States
which have attempted TO seoede. It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union as thoy
we're once expounded by the fathers OF the Republic
but which for more than ono year-the long and
dreary carnival Of treAon-had been tnspoken and
unwritten in the Capital of the State Of ASDREw
JACKSON, and treasured up only in the hearts Of
the faithful We believed that the right way 10 con
duct loyal journal, In city like Nashville al such
a time as this was 70 raise the wavoring aud timid
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not TO
lower the standard Of patriotism, after the Of
other Journals TO suit the depraved tastes Of the
soml-loya ard symplthlzcrs with the Richmond dy.
nasty.
The UNION, therefore, has held as friends all who
support, and as foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States. It's watchword is FnEEDoM AND NATIONALITY
with rebels and traitors Il has no compromise to
make. It contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof as the SUPREME
LAW oY THE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwth
standing.
II contends for tho Union Of the States, because
without it the preservation Of our liberties and inst
tptions and the o. ganzation of society itself
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands In
the way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name 1t
be called.
Whom thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country, as sacr
ce above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignobe motive Of
self interest should make any man wAver in his 10y
atty. If there be any such, let them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort Donelson, Murfreesboro and
fredericksburg and blush at their wioledness and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling and he is no patriot who loves
his houses lands negroes with tithe of the devo
tion which he feels for his country Even prudent
selfshness should compel 10 be patriots, for who
can hope to his treasures from the wreck ef
a ruined and dismembered Union
We want to soo tho land once more blessed with tho
enduring sunshine Of an honorable peace based upon
the complete and unconditional submission of the
rebels now in arms, and not liz up with the decetiu
glow Of peace based upon emasculate loyalty, and
concessions to trators-the glow Of a meteor which
would shine only TO betray, and going out would
leave in darkness tenfold gloomy than that
which prevailed before
These are the sentiments and views which the
UNION will continue to advocate through whatever
Of storm sunshine may await IL in the FUTURE aud
ask the support Of all who believe IT to be import
ant that thoroughly and vigorously loyal newspaper
should be published in Nashville.
