New YoRE, Dec. 20-The HeFalds cor

Sherman arrived in front of Savannah, after
having marched 800 miles, his troops mean
while living on the very hest of provisions,
be had with him drove of 1900 cattle,
Though he started from Atlanta with only 200
He also gathered up the way over 1909 able
bodied negroes, and so many horses. mules and
wagons as to embarrass him. His army du-
ring a considerable portion Of The march eX-
tended over a sweep OF country, 90 miles IN
breadth, as much as four miles at times inter-
vening between the right wing of one column
and he left of the other; but communication
was at all times kept up between the two.
His whole loss 10 men, from the time ot bis
leaving Atlanta to his arrival in front of Sa-
vaunah, from wounds, sickness, captures, strag-
Cling and all other causes, was only about L.,
600. The average daily march was about
twelve miles.
When the city Of Savannah was invested by
Sherman, it was unprepared for a siege, and il
was believed it could not hold out more than a
few DAYS. Gen. Slocum holds all the APP
proaches on the north side of the city, inciud-
ing all the railroads leading out of the town
and Gen. HoBard's army connects with bis

The rebel expectations in connection with
Hoods invasion of Tennessee may be inferred
frem the spbjoined extract from the Rich
mond Enquirer Of the 9TH inst. How they
have been realized, let the late disastrous de-
feat of the rebel army before Nashville answer.
Says the Enquirer:
"The purposes of Gen. Hood are unknown
to us, nor can we say whether he will attempt
the capture of Nashville by assault. We ex-
pect he will move around the city, and pass
on into Kentucky. To raise the people OF
that State in arms against Lincoln, aud Carry
the war up the Ohio before the winter sets in;
10 winter 10 Kentucky, and in the Spring
cross into Ohio, and carry the war into that
State, are within the possible movements Of
General Hood"
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1864-12-23

He was driven from the first line easily, but
the second one was very stub5o1niy defended
and at last was heavily assaulted three times
before succeeding
It was carried. however, aud 20 pieces of ar
tillery, 1900 men, including Gen Jacksoo'
with the remnant Of bis division were taken
The enemy was forced back two milss, and
his army broken into two parts: one en-
Whites Pike srd the other on Franklin, with
the range of blud5 h.l.s between them.
Steedman and Wood are pressing dow0 the
latter; A. J. Smith, Schad=Id and the cavalry
pressing down the former.
Hood can't make another such days fight,
while Thomas Is 10 good condition to press
him. Every body, white aud black, did splen-
didIy.

LATEST FROM NASHVILLE.
(Times' Specially

NASHVILLE, Dec. 19.-Thomas is pursuing
the enemy to Duck River. We have nearly
all Hoods artillery. All the rivers are high,
and the bridges in front Of Hood are destroyed
We have captured 5000 prisoners, including
5000 wounded at Franklin, and four Major
Generals. Hood had 65 guns, 81 OF which we
now have. The enemys killed and wounded
are about the same as ours. which will not
reach 500.
Forrest gave Murfreesbore another trial on
the 5tt, and was repulsed by Rosseau and
Miroy.
The rebel Gen. johnson says, their loss at
the battle of Franklin was 5000, while ours
was l, 800. Stoneman has whipped Breckin-
ridge in East Tennessee, near the Virginia
liae; killing, woundiDg and capturing large
number, aud taking most OF his artillery.
Gen Ed. McCook is after Lyon in Ken
lucky and he cannot escape. Murfreesboro,
Bridgeport, Stevenson, Chattanooga and
Knoxville are all right.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 80. An officer of Gen.
Rosseau's staff, just from the headquarters of
Gen Thomas, arrived last night. Our forces
were then at Spring Hill, near Columbia
Hoods army, remnant Of il, was at Duck
River, which he was reerossing as fast as pos
sibe. All eur wounded, left at Franklin,
were recaptured; also, ali rebels severely woun-
ded, including Gen. Quarels, Of Tennessee, for
merry Supervisor of Banks in this State.
Yesterday morning Gen. Hatch captured
8 guas from a rebel cavalry force at Spring
field. Our total capture Of artillery from
Hood amounts to 81 pieces.
The loss of Forrest in his. attack on Muir
freesboro on Thursday last, is estimated at
1900 killed and wounded. The latter fell into
our hands.
The rebel army, from all accounts, has be-
come utterly demoraliz8d, unable to make a
Stand AID with scarcely any artillery.
The telegraph is working to Spring Hill.
Trains will run to Franklin this morning
Gen. Schofeld was in Columbia yesterday
morning. Our total wounded in the battles
of Thursday and Friday will reach but few
over 1000.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1864-12-23

The extent to which the rebels suffered in
ths battle Of Franklin, from which place our
forces fell back to Nashville, may be inferred
from their loss in officers killed and wounded
This is not a matter of conjecture, as in his
official report of the battle Hood says: "We
have to lament the loss of many gallant off.
GERS and men. Major General Cleburne, and
Brigadier Generals John Williams, Adams,
Giest, Stahl and Granbury, were killed
Major General John Brown, and Brgadier
Generals Garter, Marignault, Quarels, Cocker
ell and Scott, were wounded; and Brigadier
General Gordon was captured" Here is a
list of six Generals killed, six wounded, and
one taken prisoner. In addition to this it will
be recolIected we captured one hundred and
thirteen commissioned officers of lower rank.

A letter to the New York Herald, dated at
Hilton Head on the 8th, gives the following
account of an exploit of an Ohio ragiment:-
On Sunday last the 25th Ohio regiment per-
formed a most gratifying feat in the Pocotali-
go direction. Proceeding by secret route,
under orders from General Foster, they came
on fort at Church Bridge, in the rear
Captain Geraud, of General Fosters Staff,
with his usual gallantry, was in advance ol
the column, having only two men with him.
Rushing over the parapet, some forty rebels
were discovered. Adopting an old ruse,
Captain Goraud turned about, sung out "come
on, boysp' and the rebels fed like sheep.
Two twenty-four Founders were captured.-
One was brought away, but the other mounted
on heavy carriage, could not be removed
conveniently. 1t was damaged as much as
possible, and the cassions destroyed Our
forces then returned.

The Maryland Presidential Electors made
a visit to President Lincoln and in neat ad-
dress compIimented him on the success OF his
Administration and his triumphant reelection.
Reference was made to the recent appoint
ment of Hon. S. P. Chase as Chief Justice,
to which, in the course of his remarks, the
President alluded as follows:
The country needed assurances in regard TO
tive great questions, and they were assurances
that could better be given by the character
and well known opinions of the appointed
than by any verbal pledges. 10 the appoint
meht of MIR. Chase ali holders of American Sc
eurities in America and Europe felt assured
that the financial policy OF the Government
would be sustained by its highest judicial tri-
buDal In sustaining that policy Judge Chase
would be only sustaining himself, for he was
the author of it. His appointment also met
the public desire and expectations as regarded
the Emancipation policy of the Government
His views were well known upon both Of these
great questions, ard while there were other
distinguished gentlemen whose names had
been suggested for this great trust whose
views he believed were sound upon these i'm
portant issues, yet they did not hold the same
relations to them as did Mr. Chase.

Hon. H. d. Washburn has caused notice
to be served upon the Hon. D. w. VOORHEES,,
Of a contest of the seat he claims in Congress

VOORHEES, as follows: 3O2 il Sullivan county,
30 in Vigo, 125 in Putnam, 14l in Clay, l24

surrepti!iously abstracted from the ballot box
before the vote was counted out. and an equal
number with Mr.. Voorhees, name on them

ANOTHER DRAFT.-A call has been issued
for draft of 100000 men to come off after
the expiration of fifty days. 1t is made for
the purpose of making up deficiencies under
former calls. The last call for 100000 men
did not realize to the service half that number
in consequence of the large allowances made
for credits which various localities were able
to figure up as due them. That mode of furn-
ishiDg men is now exhausted, and the pending
call will have to be fully met by recruits and
not by credits. 1t behOeves all therefore to
be up and doing in raising men and aiding in
correcting enrolment lists. The rebellion is
now manitestly in its death struggle ard to
finish up the work the men to ELL up the ranks
of our army must be forthcoming. The Graft
will be for one year, and Ohio has surplus
over her quota on the last call of 1000 to be
credited on this.
