UNION ADVANCE ON THE TENNESSEE.

NASHVILLE, December 27.--The advance Of
our army was, on Sunday night, twen,y.one
miles south OF Columbia, about half way betwe,n
that place and the Tennessee river. The roads
on account Of the heavy rains, are nearly impas-
sable.
Hood is steadily retreating before our ad-
vancng troops Prisoners who have deserted are
being brought in every day. Two hundred
reached here yesterday. Il is reported that Hood
intends to reach the Tennessee river near the
mouth Of the ELK river, General Thomas having
forced him considerably to the east. The mill
tary authorities consider the situation rs very
encouraging.
Railroad aud telegraphic communication Is
open to Columbia on the Tennessee and Alabama
rivers and the road will soon be in running order
to Chattanooga. The river is at a stand, with Is
feet on the shoals.

Colonel Olcott has arrived here as bearer Of
dispatches from General Butler, who, with
portions Of the oath and 2jth Army Corps,
has arrived safely with most of Porter's squo-
dron, in Hampton Roads.
The cause Of the withdrawal of our feet has
not yet been fully explained. Admiral Por-
ter says he had good reasons for the step,
although his feet was all he could have
wished Tor the work. Colonel Olcott says
the troops landed met with a severe repulse
in the rear of the fort and our attempt to
blow up the work called Fort Fisher failed.

The joy at getting thlrty-three thousand bales
Of abandoned cotton, in abandoned Savannah,
begins TO be tempered with an estimate Of the
value Of the loss of the fifteen thousand troops
and artillery that Hardee was allowed to march
