Palladium Of Dec. Goth:
The wife Of the rebel General Gustayus ".
Smith is the daughter Of Captain Abncr Bas-
sctt, OF New London, and about . fortnight
ago she suddenly arrived home. It was given
out that she had passed through the Union
lines in disguise and had come North to re-
main. Since her arrival she has been very
free to avow the most disloyal sentiments, ,cx-
hibting such rancor and violence as could not
be tolerated. The case was reported to
Washington, md the result was that on Mon
day evening the woman left New London in
charge Of IN army meer, to be handed over to
General Butler ut Fortress Monroe and by
him returned across the lines to her rebel
friends. Sending this woman back finishes
the matter up very properly, as fur as she is
concerned; but the next thing is to find
where the blame belongs for her ever getting
through the lines to come North. It Is By no
'means unlikely that sending her back ls just
what she wanted. 1t is altogether probable
that she came North On some errand, which
having been accomplished, she is quite rcudy
to be escorted back to Richmond with milf
tary honors.

Correspondence Of the n. 7. Times.
CHATTANOOGA, Dec 19, 1868.
It is said that Gen. Grant has forwarded to
Washington his views on the way the war
should be conducted in future to insure the
earliest and most complete suppression Of
the rebellion. What these views are in de-
tail, is not Of course known; but it may bo
aesumed for q certainty, that the concerted
,aote3htnf ef all oar a17mits u.lder one policy,
ard, a. far as practicable, esndrr one dirriien,
is tie principal feature Of Gen. Grants plan.
i Assuming that 1t is true that Gen. Grant
has forwarded 10 Washington his plan-and
whether he has or not can be ascertaincd by
inquiry at the proper department-no one
will question his title to do SO, or the weight
his recommendations should have, Standing
before the country the first General in the
field, with results proving his great abilities,
almost marvellous, 1t is not to be supposed
fo1 IN Instant that Ills views will fail to ex-
citc the greatest interest. To suppose
that they Will not enter largely into the fu-
ture conduct Of the war is to imply dlspo-
sition to deny him the influence his great scr
vices entitle him to have, and suspicion that
the powers ut Washington are inimical to
the General, whom the country recognizes as
not only having done most, but as best
qualified to give counsel OF course no.
body thinks this. Therefore, 1t may con-
fldently be expected that the future
movements Of our armies, md the policy
that will prevail in the campaigns to follow,
will be much in accordance with the sugges-
tioue of Gen. Grnnt.
