Wednesday morning which proceeded up
the opposite shore from Gregory's planta-

the protection of our flank. The gunboats

Pro+actjnD the Border.

The New York Commercial, in view of
the present aspect of the St. Adams case,
thinks that we want on the border some
thing more forcible than the Veteran Re
serves, for there may be rough work some
of these days Senator CHANDLER has in
troduced resolution for the recruiting of a
new army corps for frontier defence Such
a corps could be soon organized and made
ready to prevent the hostile entrance of our
Canada neighbors and their guests, or to
cf ase them even to Montreal or Quebec if
necessary. 1t Is asserted as the belief at
Washington that the Canadian authorities
are disposed to do all in their power to pre-
vent piratical demonstrations. Neither is it
any secret that arrangements are being per-
fected for keeping an efficient armed force
all along the border, to capture any hostile
parties who may be disposed to come South

fridays FIGHTING.

On Friday morning Gen. Thomas renew
ed the conflict. During the night previous
Hood withdrew his right wing from the riy-
er and took up new position, covering the
Hillsboro, White and Franklin pixies, which
line had been carefully prepared for the pres
ent contingency. Our men flushed with vic
tory on the day previous pushed forward gal
lantly and in good spirits. They soon came
upon and carried the first line of rebel en-
trenchments, easily, but the second line was
more stubbornly defended. Three heavy as
saults were made before it was carried. On
the third assault, however, the rebel lines
were broken, aud twelve pieces of cannon
and two Thousand men, including Gen. Jack
son, with the remnant Of his command We're
taken. The enemy was forced back two
miles and his army broken in two parts
one being forced to the White pike and the
other to the Franklin, with range Of bluffy
hills between them. Steadman and Wood
pursued the enemy down the White pike,
and A. j. Smith Scofeld and tie cavalry
down the Franklin. Hoods army must
have beer perfectly demoralized, as small
arms lay nearly as thickly on the contested
line as the rebels had stood there Thomas
captured some 5000 prisoners, and SO guns.
besides wagons and other parar hernalia of
war. Our whole loss. in killed, wounded
and missing, in the two days fight, viii not
exceed 5000
Gen. Thomas is still in pursuit of Hood 5
retreating army. Near Franklin he captur-
ed the rebel hospitals with about 1900
wounded, and over 1000 prisoners and FIVE
battle flags. 1t is estimated that Hood 5
loss. since his advance upon Nashville from
Columbia, will exceed $4,000. Thomas is
harrassing Hood demoralized and retreat
ing forces onsrear and fianks, and will, in all
probability, utterly destroy his army For
