THE NEWS.

The telegraph furnishes information,
over the signatures of Gen. Thomas and
Secretary Stanton, of most signal victo-
ry over the rebels under Gen. Hood at
Nashville. Nashville had been closely
invested by Hood for several days; his
right resting on the river sbove, and his
left extending 10 the river below the city.
On the 18th Thomas attacked the left, aid
ed by the gunbsats, driving it back and
doubling it upon the centre the contest
lasting all day. The battle was resumed
the next morning, and kept up through
oat the day, the rebels still giving way. -
1t the latest dates it was thought the
:sbels were trying TO make good their es-
cape, which was not deemed possible
Thomas reports his captures at 40 guns
and sbou. 5000 prisoners-admi.tiny a
loss of about 5000.
Hoods official report TO Ihe rebel gov
eminent Of the battle of Fran klin-which
our side claimed as such signal victory
has been published, in which he claims
that he captured "about ten thousand
prisoners"
The news from Sherman is no less fav-
orable than that from Thomas. Sherman
reached the vicinity Of Savannsh about
the 18th. Severe lighting was reported,
but no particulars are given. Richmond
papers of the 10th report the capture by
Sherman OF Fort McAlIister, situate at the
mouth Of the Ogeechee river, or head of
Warsaw Sound, some 90 miles south Of
Savannah, where he can communicate
With the fleet report is also published,
and credited, (but not confirmed that
Savannah was likewise captured with
1000 prisoners. powerful fleet, con.
s2lirg OF some sixty yessels of war, nclu-
ding several ironclads, sailed southwark

purpose, doubtless, Of cooperating with
Sherman.
There is nothing new from Richmond

speck Of war, however, makes its APP
pearonce in another quarter. Some time
ago party Of rebel refugees in Canada
made raid on the town ofSt, Alban, Vt,
robbirg the two banks Of the town, and
doing other mischiaf, who were pursued
into Canada, and some of them captured
by the Canadian authorities. At the hear
ing Of their case few days ago, the Judge
discharged them upon some technics in
iormality. This caused great indignation
at Warrington, and Congress assumed a
very beliserent aspect But this is now
somewhat changed since it is announ-
ced that the discharged raiders have been
'e,arrested by order of the Canadian au-
morities, and !he conduct OF the Judge de-
nounced.

TIE AMERICAN PgorLg.--Mr. Seward,
among the curious infelicities his recent
ly published letter to Mr.. Adams, uses
the phrase American people" There is
no such thing known as American peo.
pie Of the Usited States" We are citizens
of that republic. not of America, Mr.. Sew
ard issues good many passports. He de-
sciibes in them his fellow-coun trymon as
citizens of the United States. The fl tg is
the flag OF the United States. 1t Is not
very important in conversational carless-
ness to use the word Americans in such
connection but as there are three times
as many entitled TO that designation as
We, no man who talks his language cor
rectly makes the mistake,
But there is greater reason for preci-
sion. The people Of the United States
are not one people. "They are one peo-

Dust TO Dust.

As we all sprang from putrefaction.eor
from dead matter that has never before
been vitalized, so, in like manner, must all
our frames return, through the ordeal of
putrefaction, to the dead world. The mus
Gle of the strong man, the bloom of beauty
the brain. of the philosopher, must once
more rot, as. doubtless, they have often rot
ted before, and are destined. in the continu-
al phases, and circulation of matter, to rot
again.
The hand that writes this sentence, nay,
the very brain that conceives the thought
that the hand is marking down, was once
earth such as we all trample ON, and soon
will be earth again, and perhaps ere the
writers name has ceased to be mentioned
by those with whom he holds familiar inter
course, will be transformed into the cypress
of cemetery or the daisies of the country
church yard Nay, also the matter of that
eye which reads this saying, and of the brain
that receives this saying, and is, perhaps
startled at it, little while ago was allied
to the elements of inorganic matter; and the
time cannot be far distant ere some have
to mourn over those terrible words read
over it-of ''dust to dust and ashes to ash
es to ashes" The very tear of affection
was once water, and little rock salt; and af-
ter little time it will be water and rock
salt once more-Dr. Kemp.

How Animals Cool Of.

Every observing farmer knows that men
and horses ave the only animals that have
double means of refrigeration, and all 9th
ers have but one. No other beings sweat
like men and horses, and therefore cannot
cool themselves by perspiring through the
skin. This will be found true throughout
the whole range of comparative anatomy
aud applies to the largest as well as the
smallest beings. All the thick skinned ami
mails, except the horse, have no phwers in
the skin to exhale heat by perspiration, it
being only u secrctive surface. All the cleft
feet Species, including those with feet and
toes rounded and unimproved with claws,
the rhnoceros, elephant, bison, mammoth,
mastodon, buffalo, OK, swine, deer, the
lion, tiger, bear, wolf, fox, squirrel, dor
mouse, opossum, raccoon, all, like the
dog, have no means of cooling themselves
when. heated, except through the medium
of inspiration and expiration. Thus the
OK, when very hot thrusts out his tongue
and pants to exhale the heat generated by
exercise, and if driven without time allowed
for this, will die with the heat that accu-
mulates within him. Hogs often die when
driven too fast, because they cannot part
with generated heat.

General Seymour,

General Seymour, at Olustee, was de-
feated by the cowardice of Niger troops
and by superior forces. He was not sup.
prised, nor led into an ambush or a trap,
and did all that any man could do under
the circumstances. He was brave, cool and
self-possessed during the BATTLE, and man.
aged his forces as well as they could have
been managed He had his cavalry well
advanced, and knew where the enemy was,
and expected to meet him when he did meet
him. The Ne,o York Tribune says, who
ever again entrusts him with the command
of troops will deserve to be held criminally
responsible for their defeat" The Presi-
dent is criminally responsible for his late de-
feat. He ordered the expedition, against
the advice Of General Halleck General
Seymour did all that could be done with the
expedition.
If Generals who are defeated in carryint
out the orders of the President are to be
disgraced, what punishment shall be inhic
| ted upon those who disobey his orders o
reject his advice. Why are Hooker an
Burnside" intrusted with commands again
These have foolishly slaughtered their ten
of thousands, while Seymour has lost bu
little more than thousand, in battle i
which he earned credit instead of censure
He has proved his courage and skill as
soldierat Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Cherubus
