Ala. Our forces evacuated Pulaski and
Huntsville, and were concentrating at CO.
lumbia and Nashville. 1t is supposed that
Hood is moving for East Tennessee to form
q junction with Breckenridge, but the more
probable object is TO march into Georgia,
in accordance with Beauregards promise
in his dispatch to the people of that State
to come to their help against Sherman
Generals Thomas and A. J. Smith have
troops enough to keep the rebels in check
in Middle Tennessee, and perhaps to en-
gage and defeat Hood.
- A lady OF rebel sympathies in Lou
isville, saw a number of rough looking
fellows passing her door under strong
guard, and Of course inferred them to be
prisoners from Hoods army. She asked
permission OF the Union officers in charge
SO entertain them with dinner, which was
readily granted. AS they were thanking
her for her hospitality, after the feast, the
fact leaked out that the men were not reb-
els after all, but bounty jumping deserters
from regiments in Sherman's force.
@A Washington correspondent men,
! tons the interesting fact hat the President
will recommend the creation OF a new
grade in tie navy-that of Vice Admiral
the glorious old hero Farragut being the
first to grace it.
Gen. Burbridge, who commands tie
military district Of East Kentucky, has
reached Cumberland Gap with consider
able force, SO that if Breckenridge had any
design of invading Kentucky from that di-
rec,iol, he has been fo;led.
The peace men Of Delaware refused
to participate IN the services of Thanks
giving Day, because Gov. Cannon, in his
proclamation, instanced among the causes
for thankfuMess the freeing Of the slaves
OF Maryland, and the prospects of speedy
declaration Of universal freedom.
~ General Barry, Chief Of Artillery,
under General Sherman, in letter to the
Buffalo Courier says: "Our friends ct the |
North must exerci % patience with regard
to General Shermano movements, but
must never for single moment lose con-
fidence il his Anal success. His genius
aud vigor will carry the army triumphant
IL through the work it has to do?''

This is q lively illustration of the pro-
verb that discretion is the better part Of
valor. MIR. Mason has evidently profited |
by the experience Of his less compliant pc
litical friends in Indiana. The conse-
quences OF resistance are likely to prove |
somewhat momentous to them.
