Glorious Victory at Nashville |!

Gen. Thomas has fought two days
battle and achieved glorious victo-
ry over Hood near Nashville. The
battles were fought on the 18th and
10th. The enemy was completely de.
feated. We captured 80 cannon and
a large number of prisoners including
two Generals. Our loss, all told, was
less than three hundred. This proves
admirable skill and caution of Gen.
Thomas in his disposition Of the bat
tie. Below is Gen. Thomas official
despatch to the War Department:
Eight miles from Nashville,
Dec. l6-6P.M.
To the President, etc:
This army thanks you for your ap-
probation of its conduct yesterday,
and to assure you that it is not mis-
placed, / have the honor to report that
the enemy has been pressed at all
points today, on his line of retreat, to
the Brentwood Hills. Brig. General
Hatch, of Wilson's corps Of cavalry,
on the right, turned the enemy's left
and captured a large number of pris-
oners-the number not yet reported.
Maj Gen. Scho6eld's corps. next on the
left of the cavalry, carried several
hills and captured many prisoners and
six pieces of artillery. Brevet Major
General A. j. Smith, next on the left
of Maj. Gen. Schoficld. carried the sal
lent point of the enemy's line, with
McMillan's brigade of McArthur's di.
vision, capturing sixteen pieces Of ar
tillery, two Brigadier Generals. and
about 1000 prisoners. Brig. Gen.
Garrard's division of Smiths command,
next on the left of McArthur's division,
carried the enemy's intrcnchments,
capturing all the artillery and troops
of the enemy on the line. Brig. Gen.
Woods troops. on the Franklin Pike.
took up the assault. capturing the
enemy's intrenchments, and in his re

tillery, and something over 600 pris-
oners, and drove the enemy within one
mile of the Brentwood Hill Pass. Ma
jor General Steedman, commanding
detachments of the different armies oil
the military division Of the Mess, most
nobly supported General Woods left,
and bore most honorable part in the
operations Of the day.
l have ordered the pursuit to be
continued in the morning at daylight
Although the troops are very much
fatigued, the utmost enthusiasm pre-
walls.
must not forget to report the ope
rations of Brigadier General Johnson
in successfully driving the enemy witt
the cooperation of tho gunboats un,
der Lieutenant Commanding Smith
from the established batteries on tn.
Cumberland river below the city oI
Nashville, and of the success Of Brig
Gen. Caxton's brigade, in covering
our right and rear in the operations 0
yesterday and to-day.
Although | have no report of the
number of prisoners captured by John
son and Caxton's commands, know
they have made a large number.
am also glad to he able to state tina
the number of prisoners captured yes
terday greatly exceeds the number re
ported by telegraph last evening. The
woods, and fields, and intrenchments
are strewn with the enemy's small
arms abandoned in the retreat.
In conclusion am happy to state
that all this has been effected witt
but very small loss to us. Our loss
probably does not exceed 800, ant
very few killed.

The gross negligence und carelessness which
characterizes many of the descriptive rolls tnd
discharges which are forwarded to Lieut.. Col.
Grier, LIST U. s. Cavalry, Superintendent of
Recruiting Service and Chief Mastering OFF,
Ger of the State of Iowa, and to other DEPART

neglect of Company commanders TO answer
letters from Col. Grier and this department In
relation to descriptive rolls and discharges, do.
mands correction. While this department has
no authority i'm these cases, 1t has, under or.
ders of the Governor, control Of promotions,
and if any officer hereafter neglects to attend
to the important duties which belong to him
in the cases named, and upon which the SOL
diers depend for payment, when discharged,
such neglect will be considered by this depart
ment as good ground for refusal to promote tn
higher position.
Officers will not be granted promotion in

duties and thereby permit our brave soldiers
to suffer.
