Again, the influence of this organization is

LOSSES

The first days battle Of Nashville was end
ed Probably cur arms have never won more
brilliant success at a cheaper rate. With the
single exception have referred to, we drove
the rebels from every noint we assailed, and
that with so little damage to US and so great
loss, both in men and material, to them,
that it astOnished even ourselves.
We cannot have had throughout the day as
many as nine hundred men killed, wounded
and missing, while Hoods army was weaken
ed by at least eight hundred killed and
WOUNDED, ana fifteen hundred prisoners. |

amount to seventeen pieces. You may know
how moderate this estimate is when [ tell
you that l heard a staff officer of Gen. Thorn
as positively declare few hours ago that we
had taken thirty. At least fifty wagons were
captured, amongs. them those containing the
baggage of two rebel Generals, Chalmers and
Ruger Add to these things some sixteen
hundred small arms, ana you will begin to
appreciate our days work, 7. S.

BUTTER AND PoTAToEs.-Mrs. Stoves re-
clpes for making butter and cooking potatoes
are good enough for place in this column:
70 keep the cream in a perfectly pure,
cool atmosphere, to cburn while it is vet
sweet, to work out the buttermilk thoroughly,
and to add salt with such discretion as not to
ruin the fine, delicate favor of the fresh
cream,-all this is quite simple, that one
wonders at thousands and millions of pounds
OF butter yearly manufactured which are
merely hOhgoblin bewitchment of creaminto
foul and ioathsome poisons.
We have seen boiled potatoes from an I'M
taught cook coming upon the table like Jumps
OF yellow wax,-and the same article, the
day after, under the directions of a skillful
mistress, appearing in snowy balls of powdery
hghtness. In the one case, they were thrown
IN their skins into water, and suffered to soak
or boil, as the case might be, at the cooks
leisure, and after they were boiled to stand
IN the water till she was ready to peel them.
In the other case, the potatoes being first
peeled were boiled as quickly as possible in
salted water, which the moment they were
done was drained off, and then they were
gently shaken for minute or two over the
lire to dry them still more thoroughly. We
nave never yet seen the potato so depraved
and given over to evil that could not be re-
claimed by this mode of treatment As to
fried potatoes, who that remembers the crisp,
golden slices of the French restaurant, thin
as waters and light as snow-fakes, does not
speak respectfully of them? What cousin
ship with these have those coarse, greasy
masses Of sliced potato, wholly soggy and
partly burnt, TO which we are treated under
the name of fried potatoes a la America?

4 Rebel Scent Caught.

The Herald's City Point correspondent Of
the 18th says:
"The notorious rebel scout Sergt, VIM. E.
Waterbury, Of the Sd North Carolina regi.
ment of cavalry, was mOrtally wounded on
Thursday last. Waterbury has long been
known to our authorities as vigilant troub-
lesome scout, with bravery enough to ven
ture into camp and sagacity enough to avoid
detection and elude pursuit. lie has infest-
ed the country between the James and our
left beyond Petersburg all summer. All at
tempts to entrap him have hitherto failed
Small parties have been sent in his pursuit,
but he could never be overtakeu or identi-
fed But few week. ago he came to the
Wells House one morn ng before sunrise and
seriously threatened The capture of safe
guard. This was within half range of three
Union forts, and said to be within minnie
range Of Gen. Meals headquarters
at appears Waterbury came to our pickets
dressed in Union uniform, representing him
self as one of our soldiers and requesting to
be directed to his regiment. Contrary to his
expectations a soldier was sent with him as
guide. On the way he induced the guide to
halt to drink, when he seized his musket and
made him follow as a prisoner. At night he
fell asleep while guarding the Union soldier,
who in turn seized the musket and shot him.
THE DIFFICULTIES ON THE NORTHERN BoR-
DER-The Secretary of State on the 18th
| sent a communication to the House, in reply
/ to resolution directing him to transmit all
correspondence in full in relation to trouble
ON the northern border. He reports that
these difficulties are not merely local, but
have arisen mainly out of the attitude of
Great Britain towards the United States at
the beginning of this civil war;. The CORES
pondenee is very voluminous, beginning with
the commencement of this civil war. He re-
fers the House to thu correspondence accom-
panying the Presidents messages of 1861,
1852 and 1868. Correspondence is now go
ing on, and will be given, by way of supple
ment, as soon as prepared.

q The Cincinnati Gazette has published
full list of those who pay the special tax of
five per cent on their incomes for 1868 in
that city The publication has excited a
good deal of interest and some feeling, and
is likely to lead to important corrections, as
it is evident there have been extensive frauds
perpetrated by taxpayers in withholding the
actual amount of their incomes.

Correspondence of the Nashville Union.

NASHVILLE, Dec. l6.
4he battle which had such an suspicious
beginning on Thursday, opened this morning
with increased vigor; and the result of the
DAYS work completely eclipsed the brilliancy
of the preceding, The blow struck to-day
was such as is well calculated TO rejoice the
heart Of every patriot; and the rebel sympa-
thizers who have been expecting the advent
of Hood into this city, can dismiss the illu-
sion, and prepare, once more, to swear that
they are Original Union men,"
There are such things as bloody battles,
that result in little or no advantage to the
victor. Such was Gettysburg, and such was
Chickamauga; but the victory yesterday was
not of that class. The defeat of the rebels
was crushing; indeed, defeat was no name
for tit was perfect Toad. Bull Run was
eclipsed-eclipsed because old veterans, and
not raw recruits, were the subject of the
panic.
