The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1864-12-24
LATER FROM TIE NORTH.

We have received New York papers oil
Wednesday, the 2lst instant
THE LATEST FROM NAsHvHLE-YANKEE
DISPATCHES.
The papers contain good many fancy
dispatches from Nashville, in which the
defeat of General Hood is magnifed by
various articles, the favorite dodge being
the repetition of one capture several
times. A special telegram to the New
York Times from Nashville, Tuesday,
says;
Thomas is pursuing the enemy to
Duck river. We have nearly all of Hoods
artillery, and his army is really fearfully
demoralized All the rivers are high,
and all the bridges in Hoods front de-
stroyed. Our pontoons are up. We
captured three thousand of the enemy's
wounded at Franklin, Tennessee. Since
Thursday, We have captured and brought
in just six thousand prisoners, making
nine thousand, counting the wounded
taken at Franklin. We have captured
four MAJOR generals, including Generals
Jackson and Johnston, as well as Briga-
der Generals Smith and Roger Hood
had sixty-fve pieces of artillery. We
have captured fifty -four pieces. The
enemy's killed and wounded is a little
less than our own. Our entire loss will
not reach $500. None of our general
officers were injured. This is the hand
soonest victory of the war.
Forrest gave Murireesboro' another
trial, and was repulsed. Rousseau and
Milroy drove him from the town. Our
late victory at franklin was not exagge
rated in the least. The rebel General
Johnston says that their loss was five
thousand in killed and wounded. He
states that six rebel generals were killed
and four wounded in that engagement. He
saw Major General Pat Cleburne's body
He was shot through the heart. The
whole rebel loss at Franklin, on the Goth
ultimo, was six thousand. Ours is Off
cially reported at one thousand and nine
hundred.
Stoneman has given Breckenridge
cleaning out in East Tennessee, near the
Virginia line, routing his army, killing,
wounding and capturing large number,
and getting most of his artillery.
General Edward MeCook is after Gen
eral Lyon in Kentucky, and he cannot
escape. Murfreesboro', Bridgeport, Ste
venson, Chattanooga and Knoxville all
right.
Another telegram, dated the same day,
announces another capture of three thou
sand men, which is, without doubt, the
same made of the wounded at Franklin.
1t says:
Our forces are advancing. This morn
ing, at about 8 o'clock, they captured a
body of rebel prisoners estimated at
three thousand in number. Among them
are one general and number Of commits
stoned officers. Tire capture was made
between Brentwood, ten miles south Of
this city on the Franklin pike, and Har-
peth river. An order for one thousand
men to guard the prisoners has just been
received by General j. A. Miller, COM
mandant of this post
The total number OF rebel officers cap
tured yesterday was as follows: Three
colonies, one lieutenant colonel, seven
majors, forty six captains, one hundred

terday were three brigadier-generals not
yet reported, viz: Johnson, Smith and
Rucker
All the rebel prisoners are corraled in
the stone quarry, from which the material
for building the capitol was excavated,
some few hundred yards from the CAPT
tol, which is called Andersonville. The
penitentiary and all the public buildings
are full Half the prisoners are bare
footed, and all are sleeping on beds Of
rocks.
Governor Andrew johnson was pre-
sent on the field in the vicinity of the
last bloody charge, which he watched
with intense interest
General r. NJ johnson, instead OF be-
ing killed, as reported, had turned the
rebel flank and crossed the Harpeth river,
eleven miles hence.
In the first charge made by the colored
troops on the rebel ranks, the Thirteenth
regiment lost two hundred and fifty six
men, and the Twelfth, one hundred and
nineteen men.
