LATER FROM THE NORTH,

| We have received New York papers
Saturday, the Sd instant. They contai
nothing of Importance.
GENERAL HOODS yIcToRY-THE YANKEE
STICK TO THEIR LIES.
| The kilograms, which are brief, abou
the defeat of Schofield and his falling
back to Nashville, still call it victory
They merely repeat the former dispatches

| Additional reports received increas
the magnitude Of the late victory a
Franklin. Thirty stands of colors wer
captured by the Union forces The Forty
ninth Indiana captured five; the Eighty
eighth Illinois, three; Reiliey's old bri
gade, eighteen; and the Twenty-Five
corps captured four.
General Stanley, commanding the
Fourth corps, had a very narrow escape
having had horse killed under him
and was shot in the right shoulder, the
ball traversing the back and going out
the left shoulder. He is in the city, and
though suffering considerably is still at.
tending to duty.
1t is confirmed that General Patrick
K. Cleburne, of Arkansas, is killed.
General Kimball, commanding the Sc
cond division of General Stanley's corps,
in the heat Of the battle, passed a rebel
maJor-general, who told him he was NOR
tally wounded. His men succeeded in
carrying off the body.
1t is believed that Hoods main army
is threatening Murfreesboro'. FORESTS
rebel cavalry is demonstrating on our
front and right flanks.
Commander Fitch is here with fleet
of boats and iron clads. Sufficient forces
have arrived to insure not only the safety
OF Nashville, but another Union victory,
in case of battle under any circum-
stances.
There is no confirmation of the
loss of either Generals Cleburne or
Adams. Their reported death is pro,
badly about as true as that thirty stands
OF colors were taken, with body of
prisoners no larger than one thousand
men. A telegram from Nashville says
that Thomas is inside the Notifications.
The dispatch is so entirely rich, as illus
trating how Yankee war dispatch may
be written, that we publirh it in full
Yesterday evening the two hostile ar
mics were engaged in heavy skirmishing,
and the rattle of musketry could plainly
be heard in the streets of Nashville.
a battle of terrible fury is imminent.
We do not believe that General
Thomas has any fear for the result. He
is net as weak as he would make the
rebels believe.
He can offer battle to better advantage
to himself in front of Nashville than at
any other point.
His left wing rests on Murfreeaboro',
and when strengthened by the forces at
Chattanooga, it will be strong enough to
close upon Hood rear and cut off his re
treat
The rebel general is pressing blindly
forward
General Thomas has prepared a trap,
and the foe is too eager to nibble at the
bait.
The lines are closing around the en-
amy, and each hour the threads of the
net are being more completely woven.
We will not tremble for the result, but
will feel strong and hopeful for the cause,
and confidently look for victory to perch
upon our banners.
Our troops are brave and General
Thomas is an able commander.
We predict that the rebel army will
meet with terrible disaster.
General Thomas has altered his plans,
md will either capture or annihilate the |
'ebel army.
The following telegram is published as |
he very latest:
NASHVILLE, December 2.-There was
slight skirmishing with the enemy's ca.
AIRY all day to-day. A complete line of |
encircles the city A por-
ion of our cavalry force encountered
Forests rebel cavalry three miles from
own, on the Franklin pike. The rebels
:ould be plainly seen advancing when
'ur troops retired towards the city. Night
oming on, only few occasional shots
we're exchanged. 1t is rumored that
lood is endeavoring to cross the Cumber-
and with large cavalry force. Expe-
fenced officers predict an engagement to-
lorrow.
