Second Days Fight before Nashville.
UNION VICTORYI

The attack upon and defeat of the Rebel
invading force, Wednesday, 18th inst, is
given in our las. paper. The following
account is Of the promised engagement the
day following-Thursday, 10Th inst:
Head Quarter. Department Of the C,,mberland,l
Eight miles from Nashville, Dec ID, 6, Pm.
To tie BIesidem Of he L. s., &c:
l have the honor to report that the
enemy bas been pressed a, oil points to-
day, on his line Of retreat to the Brent
wood Hills. have ordered the pursuit.,
to be continued in the morning at day
light. Although the troops are much "a
tigued, the utmost enthusiasm prevails.
Although | have no report of the num-
Der of prisoners captured, | know the
number is large.
The woods, fields aud entrenchments
are s'rewn with the enemy's small arms,
abandoned 10 the retreat.
Our loss does not exceed 5000, and
very few killed. GEO. ii THOMAS,
Maj. Gen. Commanding.
Other reports say that Gen. Jackson,
with 20 pieces Of artillery, and 1000
Rebels were captured, besides many wag-
ons, by Gen. Smith, AID that others of
our Generals also captured guns and pris-
oners, so that the triumph seems to have
been great, and Hoods army in danger of
entire loss. The guDboats in the river
aided in the various actions. Everybody,
black and white, behaved splendidly,"
says Sec'y Stanton, in Publishing the
above.
Hoods communication with Mobile is
severed, aud Union cavalry expedition
towards Mobile is creating great fear in
tina, city.
WASHINGTON. Dec II.
The Provost Marshall of Nashville re-
ports 5000 prisoners, and IS pieces of ar.
til!ery as being already secured, from last
Thursdays contest.
A dispatch from Lexington, this eve
ming, states that Burbridge had fight, a,
Kingsport, Tenn, with Basil Dukes bri-
aade, Formerly John Morgan's) and rou,
ted them With loss to the enemy of $50
killed, wounded and prisoners. Dick
Morgan, brother Of Johns, was captured.
Tho Rebels acknowledge that at Frank
lin they had five Generals killed, five
wounded, and one captured-a terrific
toss Of eicren Generals IN one Ganle.
Our cavalry recently swept into s. W.
Virginia, greatly damaging the Rebels.

The Postmaster Generals report con-
tains some curious statistics relating to
this branch of the Department.
The whole number of dead letters
received during the year, was over three
and half millions, au increase of nearly
q million over the preceding year.
There were returned to the respective
owners, 2o,1 money letters, containing
$l3l, GIL. The number of letters contain
ing papers of value, such as checks, drafts,
bills Of exchange, &c, was II 2,436, and
the value of the enclosures was ST..
6l5,GJ4. The amount of money annually
sent asiray is surprising.
Letters containing photographs, jewelry,
Nc, numbered 43 $50. In May last, o
large number Of packages, containing mis-
cellaneous articles, which had been accu-
mu!arlng for several years, were classified
and sold at public auction, the proceeds
amounting to ST, 1927.
The Lumber of what might be called
letter-writers' blundeIs-that is, letters
miSdirec'ed, or without postage stamps
was ll5,Sl2. The instructions alone,
which were SO bad that the letters could
not be delivered, were 3S,0GS. A large
number of this las, class were without any
address whatever, and in many instances
contained Enclosures of value.
There were 4 ,256 letters addressed to
fictitious persons or firms, evidently for
the purpose Of conducting some fraudulent
business, many Of them containing remit
taDces.
There were IL, ,0l6 dead letters written
in foreign languages. The Postmaster
General remarks, that during the first
year Of the Rebellion, the number of let
tcrs which passed between the United
States and European countries decreased,
while al the same time the ratio Of letters
returned increased. Each subscquen,
year the CorrcsPcLdeuce has been in
creasing, while the ratio of dead letters
returned to Europe has decreased.
The gross revenue derived from the
dead postage collected on the letters seq,
out and delivered, amounted to s23. .66S..
IS, out of which were paid the clerks em-
p!oyed in directing them.

Shcrman's Grand March d!

Rebel papers say Sherman had taken o
fort on the river which enabled him to
communicate with the Union fleet.
Returned prisoners say Sherman had
doue great damage and was causing much
alarm. They think he will take not only
Savannah, but Charleston also.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA letter from
City Point, dated yesterday, says the
Richmond papers report nothing official
from Georgia. The Whig and Examiner
contain extracts from Charleston and Au-
gusta papers of the 9th inst, from which
it would appear that Sherman's forces
we're then widely scattered, part Of them
near Savannah, while another was in the
rear, trying to cross the Savannah river.
Some of the Rebel papers are of the opln-
ion that q junction between Sherman, and
the forces under Foster and Dahlgreen,
will be attempted.
To Maj Gen. Dix: Dispatches have
been received to-day from Gen. Foster,
who had personal interview, on the l4th
inst, with Gen. Sherman, at Fort NJ AL
lister, which had been taken BY assault on
the preceding day. Savannah was closely
besieged, and AN engagement with the Reb-
ell forces there was confidently expected
was to be surrounded in two days, aud, if
not surrendered, Sherman would open his
batteries upon it.
Foster reports that Sherman's army is
in splendid condition, having lived on its
march on the turkeys, chickens, sweet
potatoes, and other luxuries of the ciii-
gems, and that his march met With but
feeble resistance

PLEASING IHClDENT-Rev. DR.. Ken
dali, who recently returned from a visit
to California, communicates the following ::
"a poor little boy brought to the Fair
held at MarYsvile white chicken, which
was all be had to offer, saying it might
make some broth for poor sick soldier
lie had decked this little Offering with a
ribbon of red, white and bluc,' but be
had no money to pay the entrance fee,
anu was Ieje,'ed at the door As he
passed down the street, a gentleman,
seeing his distress, listened to his story,
gave him a ticket and sent him in. The
simplicity of the child and the beauty of
the Offering attracted attention, and the
chicken was put up and sold for four hun
dred dollars in gold for the Sanitary Com
mission.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 10, IS6f.
Our Regiment is now quartered in AL
exanaria, where | think We will remain,
until spring, at least. The companies are
divided into squads, each squad having a
different duty to perform. Some are used
in guarding the .rains which run out the
Orange Il Alexandria r. Il. as far as Bull
Run. The 202d are scattered along this
Road. Some are used as patrols some
as detectives, (who are very annoying to
soldiers who happen to stray away froG
their posts without a pass, or who may,
accidentally, get little too much "bever-
age" on j aud the remainder are on the
Grand Guard which encircles the city.
The squad that | am with is on the Grand
Guard, aud stationed on the bank of the
Potomac, with the National Capitol in
sight. We have a pretty good chance Of
seeing what is going Gu in this direction.
On Sunday week, there were fourteen
large steamers, heavily laden wIth troops,
passed here, down the Potomac. Last
night there were eight more followed,
with the same kind of burthen. Where
they are bound for, | am unable to say.
The soldiers about here are all in good
spirits, aud seem to think that this Re-
belIion is about played out 1t is really
surprising to see the quantity of boxes
that daily arrive here for Uncle Sans
boys. These boxes are generally filled
with the best that the market affords, and
one is almost led to believe that Christmas
is already here.
We have been experiencing some very
cold weather for the last week. Ga Sat.
urday last, We had good sleighing, but it
disappeared with the day. GA Tuesday
morning last, the Po:omlc wss frozen
over, but by seven o'clock the steamers
bad the channel open. Tie weather still
continues cold.

The Rebel raiders from Cauada into
Vermont we're discharged by a Canadian
Judge on the plea of want of jurisdiction.
Gen. Dix Immediately issued orders for
the Union forces hereafter to pursue and
punish such marauders wherever found.
Since then, the superior Canadian rulers
have issued orders for the re-arrest Of the
outlaws, and the tide of popular opinion
there is turning against those cowarGly
ingrates who are seeking to bring their
war upon Canada!
