Setting inside as uncoulrncd two conflict

to the effect that Sherman has already reached

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune1
NASHVILLE, Sunday, Decd.
The situation in o grcaf degree is unchaug-
cd since the advance Of the rebel Lines last
night. 1t is reported that two Of our trans
ports were captured last night by the enemy,
between Nashville and C1nrksvIlle. The
rebels hive established batteries on the
Cumberland at Harpeth Shoals. There was
skirmishfng on all points of the line, to-day,
with little loss On either side. 4 large brick
house belonging to one Watkins, from which
the enemy's sharp shooters annoyed work
men On our Notifications, wus almost de-
molishcd By our artillery.
Great CONSERVATION Was created amongst
curiosity seekers, to-day. all citizens going
out to the front we're gobbled up and put to
work on the Notifications. This regulation
was absolutely necessary to keep back crowds
Of idlers from the city.
In the battle Of franklin it is ascertaincd
That the following rebel Generals were killed;
Gist, Brown, and Stahl; GTahbury was
wounded. It is still said Clcbourne was kill
cd, but don't consider 1t certain. Our own
loss In this battle will not fall short of 900
men, killed, wounded and captured. A num-
bcr Of our wounded are still in the hands Of
the enemy. The rebel loss could n u have
been less than 5000. Ofthc ten bricades en-
gagged at franklin six were commanded .bv
Ohio officers: Riley, 0pdylc, Strickland,
Easement, Lane, and Kirby.

VIEW OF WILMINGTON.
A letter from Wilnington'to the London
Time. says if instead Of indulginG in spite
agninst Charleston in April, 1868, the whole
power Of the Federal navy had been turned
against Wilmington, the whole course Of this
war might hive been more influenced than By
burning ten cities like Charleston, or captur-
half dozen Vicksburgs. Wilmington, long
has grown into such fortress as
to defy the utmost efforts Of the Yankees /
from the sea.
MISCELLANEOUS.

buildings Of Halstead, Haines g. Co., corner
Of Broadway and White street, to tho extent
Of S1o0, COO. It Is supposed to have been the |

II is reported that the President intends to
arpoint the Hon. Montgomery Blair Chief
Justice Of the Supreme Court. We cannot
believe that Mr.. Lincoln will 80 directly run
counter to the views and wishes of the party
which nominated and elected him. What
cVcr variance Of opinion may exist as to the
rsoIcr man for that exalted post, there is no
Difference regarding the man who ought not
TO have It. Mr.. Blair was the especial mark
Of :hc resolution OF the Baltimore ConTcn-
<Nn which declares that the Cabinet should
he a unit in supporting the principles laid
down in the platform there adopted. It was
certainly not the intention Of the party, In
5nvi1ing Mr.. Blair to leave the Cabinet,
where lie could remain but few years at
best to tender him the position If Chief Jus
7ice for life! The President accorded him
more consideration than WIS necessary in al.
lowing him to name his successor
The Supreme Court is the tribunal Of last
resort, where all the great questions involved
5n the war and the reconstruction Of the Gov
crnmcnt are to be settled. We want no man
at the head Of that Court whose measure Is
found In the Rockville speech. There was q
stor5 current in Washington once that when
the President read Ills emancipation proc1a-
1lation of Sept. 2 1862, TO his Cabinet ire
marking at the same time that he did not
read it for The purpose Of e1iciting discussion.
1ecause his mind was made up), Mr.. Blair
was the only member who iad the bad grace
10 r.se IN argument against it. The story
WIS generally credited at the time, and It is
certainly not devoid Of probability. Be that
IS 1t may, We eay frnnkly that the President
could not find ma1 in public life more dis
tasteful to his political friends, for the ap-
Tointment Of Chief Justice, than Montgom-
erT Blair.
