From NashvlIle.

NASHVILLE, Nov. SO.-The army move
NETT for few days past have been simply
for position. The Federal forces have not
retreated except TO improved locations
We occupy franklin to day, but will prob
ably select for battle point much nearer
Nashville. Skirmishing has occurred with
little or no advantage to either. The prob
abilities are that a battle will be fought
within the next 48 hours Our forces are
in eager expectation and the Generals
hopeful and confident.
Large accessions of troops have reached
here, who have been sent to advantageous
positions.
Small detacbments of rebel cavalry are
operating not far from Nashville, doing
however no great damage.
Railroad Communication with Chatta-
nooga is intact, the trains running regu"
larry.
There is much excitement among the
citizens on account of the near approach

Capt. ssmmes-PlOt to Burn Mem
Dhis.

OAIRo, Dec. 1.-Information OF a SEEM
ingly reliable character, is to the effect that
Capt. Semmes, of the Pirate Alabama, AZ
rived at Bagdad, Mexico. Oct. 1Ith, en-
route for Richmond, via. Mattsmoras.
Up to Nov. Goth there was no quorum
in the Arkansas legislature.
The Memphis papers Of yesterday give 8
detailed account Of . plot, by the rebel
agents, to burn Memphis and the Charles
ton railroad depot and the government
stores, worth 100000. The plot was
discovered by the o. s. detectives, to whom
the matter was entrusted by Gen. Wash
burne. and 4he incendiaFy was captured in
the act of firing the buildings. Il Is al
legged that these emisssries we're to receive
from the rebel government 10 per cent on
the valuation of the property destroyed.
DR.. MoMillen, proprietor Of the Charleston
House, Memphis, is among the arrested.
He is charged with being an agent Of the
rebel government and concerted the plot.
The prisoners are confined in the Irving
block. They will be tried before q mil
tary commission and will probably be
hanged.

The Investigations Into the Late
Plot to Burn New York.

NRw YoRK, Dec. 1.-The investigator
Of the plot 70 barn the city IL PTOgTeSsi"s
with the greatest VigOF aud secrecy. Gen
Dix is clOseted daily with the detectives
and others who are engaged in this busi-
ness. The examination Of the prisoners
has been going on before . military com
mission for the past two days, aud those
eOnversant with the cases, express great
confidence that some of the malefactoT5
will be detected aud punished under GenI
Di1's order.
The city at this moment is under the
strictest surveillance. Lists Of arrivals ton
the SOHth are sent daily from the hotels to
head quarters, aud suspected persons who
fail 20 report themselves will besummarily
punished. The leading hotels are doing
all 10 their power to cad in their arrest,
aud are in constant Communication With
them.
It is Indicative of the thoroughness aud
skill with which measures have been Ia
ken that, while peace aud security is kept
throughout the city, the agents Of the
government and their mode Of operations
are absolutely unknown to the public At
large. The condition of things naturally
excites much alarm among sOutherneFs in
the city. Large numbers Of them register
themselves daily, and many have come
forward to render what aid they can ia
detecting the plot. The number Of these
refugees has been much exaggerated.
Those TO whom opportunities give them
the best means Of judging estimate them
at from 10000 to Is, 900 only; of these
large proportion are women aud loyal
sOutherners Who have abandoned their
property and fed to escape the tyranny of
JEFF. Davis. All who register themselves
are obliged to take the oath of allegiance.
The only exceptions to this rule are those
who for reasons Of public policy are eE-
cused. The precautions taken are such
that It is probable, the city was never SO
safe IS at this moment.
The vigilance exercised is we'll illustrated
by the discovery of 9 torpedo on board OF
one Of the Sound freight steamers, enclOs-
ed in pastebOard box only about four
inches long, and was placed In . boat
which carried but few passengers and
which afforded the least opportunities fog
such an enterprise. Notwithstanding these
facilities Il was instantly discovered and
moved for obvious reasons. We will still
refrain from giving the names Of the psT-
sons arrested. Such information 10 pre-
cisely that most desired by their cOnfeder-
ates still at large.

Thomas Victory in Tennessee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The following of-
fetal dispatch, confirming the report Of
the victory in Tennessee, has been received
at headquarters:
FRANKLIE, TEN, Nov. 30.-Mgj. Gen,
1HOmOs;-The enemy made = heavy aud
persistent attack, with about two corps,
commencing at about o'clock in the af-
ternO0n and lasting until after dark, and
was repulsed at all points with very heavy
loss, probably Eve or six thousand men.
Our loss is probably not more than one
tenth of that number. We captured about
one thousand men, including one Briga-
der General.
(Sigued) ScHoYIRLD.
NASHVILLE, Dec. I.-Persous from the
front who we're witness TO the battle Of
yesterday. describe the attack of the rebel
forces, as desperate. Four charges were
made upon the federal line of masked bate
ries in a body of four lines deep, and each
time the rebels were repulsed with fearful
loss, The fort is on the north bank of the
river, opposite the town, extending up the
river, aud eucircling the town was the line
of masked batteries. Eye witnesses say
this engagement in desperation and furi-
Gus fighting, was hardly equalled by the
battle of Stone River. Forrest, in person,
was on the field ralIying his men. A Fu-
NOR is in circulation that he was killed,
but it lacks confirmation.
About Z o'clock last night heavy rein
forcements reached Schofield which caus-
ed q complete rout of the rebel forces.
The city to-day is full of fleeing residents
Of Williamson and other counties. They
state Hood is gathering up all the horses,
hogs and mules he can find and is sending
them south.
There is great panic among the negroes
in the counties south Of Nashville aud
numbers are hOcking to the city for pro-
lection.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 1.-The Federal forces
under Gen. Thomas retired from Frank

"CoUHTEBFEIr FIFTY CENT NoTEs.-
1t would seem that the counterfeiters are
competing vigorously with the Treasury
Department in the issue of fifty cent notes.
Some idea of the number otspurious notes
of this denomination now in circulation,
may be obtained from the fact that, in the
course of a recent investigation, one ofthe
officers employed in the office ofthe United
States Assistant Treasurer, was examined
as to the number of counterfeits which
reached them in the packages Of currency
sent there to be exchanged for Treasury
notes. He stated that in one package OF
ten thousand dollars, received from
banking institution, there were ninety
counterfeits, all of the denomination OF
fifty cents. That was not the largest num-
Der in proportion to the amount he had
known, but he was not able to give the
precise number of any other PACKAGE
The counterfeits of the fractional cur
reucy are the more readily told, he said,
by the head of Washington. In the gen.
ufne notes it is distinctly brought out
and the features are plain, while the coun-
terteits are blurred, and in some are very
iudistinct. Until recently, it was not az
offence to have counterfeit United States
currency of any amount in your posses
sion. A late act of Congress makes 1t Al
offence, If there be an intention to pass 1t
and that intention will be judged of b.
the circumstances.
