THE SIEGE OF NAsHEILLE-THE HEAVY
LOSSES OF THE YANKEES AT FRANKLIN.
There is very little change in the posi-

was bad and the ground too slippery to

the 10th says:
The rebel General Cheatham, whose
headquarters were at the residence OF
Mrs. A. Y. Brown, was shelled out from
there yesterday by our batteries. The
house is reported destroyed.
Z On Sunday last, a small party of Con
federates, about fifty in number, succeed.
ed in crossing the Cumberland river, on
this side of the shoals, and three of the
number were captured and brought in
yesterday. They claim that the whole
party deserted the rebel lines, and were
making their way home. One prisoner
was captured yesterday and iour desert

The force which went to Bellfied is re-

division of the Second, and two brigades
of Gregg's cavalry. 1t will be the same

plished, it returned:
They were heard from yesterday after
noon, aad had crossed the Nottoway
river, on the Jerusalem road, without
meeting opposition cf any consequence.
They crossed on pontoons, which they
took up after doing SO.
Deserters who came III this morning
state that Mahone's division was sent off
yesterday morning to meet them, but as
no firing in that direction has been heard
to day, it is not believed that any en-
gagement has taken place
A reconnoitring force of cavalry went
out on the left yesterday afternoon, and,
striking the rebel pickets on the Vaughan
road, drove them TO Hatcher's run, dis
tance Of over two miles, where they had
breastworks erected, and where they
made stand. Skirmishing continued
for some time, when, the object of the
movement having been accomplished,
the expedition returned. Our loss was
seven men wounded; that of the enemy
is not known.
Some of those who accompanied this
party report that firing was heard in the
direction OF Stony creek, which would
indicate that fighting was going on be-
tween General Warren and the enemy.
Reports are current that an early eva
cuation of Petersburg may be looked
for; but very little attention is paid to
these rumors.
