LOUISVILLE, Dec. 22.-The Journals
Nashville special of the olst says the situa-
ton at the front is unchanged. Our army
is confident Of total success and still pres
sing forward. The rebels are completely
panic stricken at the unlocked for defeat
they have experienced, and are still seek
ing safety in flight. Prisoners still contin-
ue 70 arrive in squads-some wounded,
others sick, and all dispirited.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 22.-No official reports
from the army. Gen. Thomas at last ac-
counts was at Columbia. A portion of the
rebel force had crossed the river aud were
proceeding southwark.
The entiie country around Nashville is
hlled with deserters from the rebel army,
many Of whom are constantly coming in
voluntarily. ~
Another wise report that Hood crossed
Duck river with 81 pieces of artillery il
untrue. His artillery was mostly lost be-
tween franklin and the battle before
Nashville, and the number of pieces left
him on his retreat must have been few.
Hoods army is represented by deserters
and prisoners as in y deplorable condition,
and their determination is probable.

tails of Sherman's grand march through
Georgia. His army moved 500 miles, de-
yastaiing AZ counties, capturing 1900 pris-

our entire Casualties were only about 500
prisoners from struggling and about 800
killed or wounded, Including the loss at
Fort McAllister.
Fitzpatrick defeated Wheeler in a Skin
mish near Macon, and could easily have
taken the city had Sherman desired it.
