The rebel loss of men and officers in the bat
tie OF Franklin proves to have been very severe
The loss in men reaches 5000 without doubt,
and ten Generals in killed, wounded and captur-
ed, including Major General Cleburne, whose
death is confirmed. The loss of rebel officers
is without parallel. es- -
Our brave Ohio officers stood foremost in the
fight of the ten brigades engaged at Franklin.
six were commanded by Ohio officers, viz: Riley,
Lane, Opdycke, Strickland, Easement and Lew
Kirby.
1t is now stated that our loss in killed, wound

We believe it is true that Sherman's g army has
reached Millen, and separated into two columns,
one moving towards the Savannah river and the
other turning back to Augusta. The latter col
umn and movement is, without doubt, intended
as feint to protect his rear from attack. 1t is
too late to menace Augusta and Sherman s main
body Is too far South. He will do one of two
thlngs-elther go straight to Beaufort and Sa-
vannah, to attack Charleston by land, or he will
join Grant in an attack on Richmond. He has
met with very little resistance in his march
through Georgia

Franklin, Tenn..-Nov. 3O.-Jgjor General
Thomas The enemy made heavy aud ier-
sistent attack with ai,ou, two corps, commencing
about four ueloek in the aliernnon, aud lasting
until after dark, and was repulsrtl ai all points,
with very heavy luss-prubably 5000 600O
men. Our loss is probably not more than
tenth of that number. We capture, about l.
600 men, including Brigadier General.
SCHOFIEI.D.
Nashville, December Officers who witness
ed the fight at Franklin yesterday, describe the
battle one of the most sanguinary of the war.
The determined bravery of the Conlederates ex-
ceeded anything before seen. Although slaugh-
tered by hundreds, they still advanced against
our batteries. Within five hours, eleven distinct
assaults were made against our w0rks-each be-
ing failure. Our forces, the battle being end
ed, quietly withdrew from the town. Among
the casualties is Major General Stanley wound
ed by shot in the neck. The rebel General
Cheatham is reported wounded.
Killed-Gapt Bissell, 128th Ind; Capt. Staley,
l24th Ind; Major of 12Sth Ind; Hintone, 124th
Ind.
Mortally WOunded-Ool. Lowry, 10th H.;
killed, Capt Darlington, of Gen. Cox's staff;
Capt. DOwing, lllth o., Wounded; Colonel
Waters, Sd brigade, LIST division, wounded.
Rebel Casualties.-Brig. Gen. Adams killed;
Brig Gen. Scott wounded.
Inc IOIal loss OF the enemy Killed, wounded
and prisoners is estimated at 1000; 5000 being
killed or wounded. The Federal loss in killed
and wounded is 700; our loss in prisoners is tri-
ing. Our loss in regimential and field officers
are very heavy. Gen. Brad6eld is also wound
ed in the city. In addition to the Federal
wounded is Col. Stockton and Maj. James of
the I'D Illinois
One hundred and seven Confederate officers,
| including one Brigadier- General, several Colo
nels and 1000 prisoners arrived in the city this
morning, captured in the fight oflast night near
Franklin, Tenn. A great battle is momentarily
expected.
Nashville, Dec. 4.-Nothing of special inter-
est has transpired to-day along the lines Our
artillery used at different points against the
rebels who are engaged in erecting breastworks
| within half mile of ours Prisoners brought
in to-day say that Brig. Gems. Gist, Stahl,
! Cranberry and Brown, of the rebel army, were
| killed at Franklin. General Gheatham lost ev-
cry Brigadier in his Corps. Bridgeport and
Chattanooga are safe. Nashville and the sur
/ rounding country for miles has been converted
| into huge fort. The destruction of rebel prop
erty in the defenses and city is immense. Al
most all the rich property holders hereabouts
are rebel sympathizers, and the advance of the
rebel army necessitated the destruction of their
property. The Federal position is perfectly
satisfactory.

1t is of noteworthy interest that the steady
expansion of population, improvement and gov
ernmental institutions over the new and unoc-
cupied portions of our country have scarcely
been checked, much less impeded or DESTROYED
by our great civil war, which at first glance
would seem TO have absorbed almost the entire
energies of the nation.
The organization and admission of the State
of Nevada has been completed in conformity
with law, and thus our excellent system is fair
ly established in the mountains, which once
seemed barren and uninhabitable waste be-
tween the Atlantic States and those which have
grown up on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
The Territories of the United States are gen.
orally in a condition of prosperity and rapid
growth. Idaho and Montana, by reason of
their great distance and the interruption ofcom-
munication with them by Indian hostilities,
have been only partially organized; but it is
understood these difficulties are about to disap-
pear, which will permit their Governments, ]
like those of others, to go into speedy and full
operation. As Intimately connected with, and
promotiye Of this material growth of the ma
ton, / ask the attention of Congress tothe val
liable information and important recommenda-
tons relating to the public lands. ,-s4

The act passed at the last session for the en-
couragement of immigration, has as far as was
possible, been put into operation. Itseems to
need amendment which viii enable the officers
of the Government to prevent the practice of
frauds against the emigrants while on their way,
and on their arrival in the ports SO as to secure
them here free choice ofavocations and places
of settlement. A liberal disposition towards
this great national policy is manifested by most
of the European States, and ought to be recip-
rocated on our part by giving the emigrants eff
fectiye national protection. regard our emil
streams which are appointed by Providence to
repair the ravages of internal war and its waste
of national strength and health. All that is
necessary is to secure the flow of that stream in
its present fullness, and to that end the Govern
ment must in every way make it manifest that
