'NAsHvn.tH, Dec. 27.-The advance Of
our army was on Sunday night twenty-ope
miles south Of Columbia, about half way
between that place and Tennessee river.
The roads on account of the heavy rains,
are nearly impossible. Hood is steadily
retreating before our advancing troops.
Prisoners who have struggled behind
their commands or who have deserted are
being brought in every day. Two hundred

1t is reported that Hood intends reach

Gen. Thomas having forced him oonsid-
erably to the east, military authorities con-
slider the situation very encouraging. Rail-

nooga.

city to the very last moment, and defend
the citizens and property which had been
placed under his protection until bis force
were overpowered and compelled to sur:
render. 3le,, .ft,e,. =. -..e.y r,.~-
Every preparation had been made by
Sherman to assault the rebel position the
next day. But when the morning of the
zlst dawned it was ascertained that the
enemy mad evacuated his intrenchments.
Several regiments of infantry were imme-
diately advanced who took possession of
them, and shortly afterwards Sherman en-.
tered the. city at the head of his BODY
guard, and received from the hands of a
deputation of the citizens the surrender of
the place. .uu,. -.
It appears that Gen. Hardee. on the
night of the Goth, seeing the impossibility
of holding the city, and fearing that the
only means of escape left open, across the
Savannah River, was likely to be cut off at
any moment, determined to avail himself
of this route for his retreat. ra ~
His troops Immediately set to work to
partially destroy the Navy Yard and Gov
eminent property, and at twilight under
protection Of two iron-clad rams, succeed
ed in crossing the Savannah river over the
causeway to the north side, intending to
push forward to Charleston. ... :, =.
Thirty-twO thousand bales of cotton
were stored in the city which the rebels
in their haste neglected to destroy. . =,
The two iron-clad rams were sunk, and
all the government property and stores
which they could not carry off with them,
they burned or threw into the river.
Four small steamers and one gunboat
were captured, which, together with the
cotton and large amount of rebel NUM-
tons of war, form part of the spoils of
SherMans victorious army. 0..

NRw YORK, Dec 24.-The Richmond
Eraminer of the 21st has an indefnite re-
port that the rebel Gen. Breckenridge had

ieved the lead works at Marion are de-
stroyed.
The Rebel Col. Scott in an order dated
at Clinton, Louisiana, directs that all Der.
sons caught going in the direction of the
Union lines with cotton to sell to the YAM
KEGS shall be punished with one hundred
lashes each.
Some of the Richmond editors, writing
and smarting under the late succession of
disasters to their armies, abuse jeff. Davis
in severe language, charging his meddling
in military matters as the cause of ali
misfortunes.
The Richmond Sentinel of the Dist says
it is reported that the Yankees have evac-
uated Plymouth, N. G. They have not
occupied Washington.
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 22.-The rebel

OF the Tennessee and Virginia railroad,
and an eastern bound train on the Vir-

10 incorporate Republicans, and TO show
Democrats that they have The law on their
side We quote from the New Albany
llndiana) Ledger
AT the recent term of the Scott County
Circuit Court, Clark sued Kimberlin for
calling him traitor. The facts are about
as follows; In the month of August lasl,
Ferris, Democrat, was endeavoring 10 get
up subscription by The citizens to aid in
making up company for the Union army.
Clark had subscribed fifty dollars, and he
and Ferris were soliciting the persons who
came INTO town to put down their names for
such amounts as they could spare Among
others Ferris approached KimberIn. vio-
lent Republican, who said he had no money
10 spare. Some conversation was had
about loyalty, when Ferris said the names
on the subscription paper were a pretty
good test OF loyalty. AT this Kimberlin
became very angry, and Just al this time
Clark attempted to speak 10 him, bnt had
only said the words, "UncIe Dan,'' then
Kimbeflin turned upon him in yery angry
manner and said {: 81 want nothing TO do
with you, You are a disoyaI man and a
traitor to your country - Refusing 10 re.
tract, Clark sued him for The sIander. and
The suit resulted IN a Judgment for two
hundred and seventy dollars damages and
costs. The judgment was based upon the
verdict OF jury composed of men of all
parties.
