From Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 3O.-Army movements
for few days past have been simply for
position. The Federal forces have not re-
treated except to improved locations. We
select for battle ground some place much
nearer Nashville. Skirmishing has occurred
with little or no advantage to either. The
probabilities are that battle will he fought
within the next forty-eight hours. Our
forces are in eager expectation, and the
Generals are hopeful and confident. Large
accessions of troops have reached here, who
have been sent to advantageous positions.
Small detachments of rebel cavalry are
operating not far from Nashville, doing,
however, no great damage. Railroad COM
munication with Chattanooga is intact.
Trains are running regularly. There Is
much excitement among citizens on account
of the near approach of Hoods army
Major General Al. Smiths corps reached
here tonight.

The Fight In Tennessee.--Grea
Despera tiOn Exhibited..Another
Brittle Imminent.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 1.-Parties who have
arrived from the front, who were witness
to the battle of yesterday, describe the at
tack Of the rebel forces as desperate. Four
charges were made upon the Federal line
of masked batteries in body four lines
deep. Each time the rebels were repulsed
with fearful loss. The fort Is on the North
bank of the river. Opposite the town, ex-
tending up the river and encircling the
town, was the line of masked batteries.
The witnesses say this engagement, in des-
peration and furious fighting, was hardly
equalled by the battle of Stone river. For
rest in person was on the field, rallying his
men. A rumor Is in circulation that he
was killed, but 1t lacks confirmation.
About o'clock last night heavy REIN
forcement reached Schofield, which caused
the complete route of the rebel forces. The
city to-day Is full Of fleeing residents of
Williamson and other counties South. They
state that Hood is gathering up all the
horses, hogs and mules he can find, sending
them South. There is great panic among
the negroes in the counties South of Nash
vile. Numbers are tlocking to the city for
protection.
The Federal forces under Gen. Thomas
retired from Franklin last night, have taken
position in q fortified line of battle and
South of Nashville-about three miles.
skirmishing has been going on all day about
| five miles South of here. Heavy cannon
aiding can be distinctly heard in the city.
| No want of confidence is felt by citizens in
| the ultimate success of the Federals. En-
ployees of the Quartermasters Department
are under arms and in trenches. One hun
dred and seven Confederate officers, includ-
ing one Brigadier General and several COL
onels, and 1000 prisoners arrived in the city
this morning. They were captured in the
fight last night near Franklin, Tennessee.
A great battle may be momentarily ex-
pected.

lCommunicatcd.l
ST. Francis HOspifal.

Several ladies of the city have decided to
hold a Fair for the benefit of st. Francis
Hospital, which is in need of funds.
This Hospital, in charge of the Sisters of
the Poor of St. Francis, has been in opera
tion nearly three years, and has afforded
gratuitous relief to some three hundred
poor and homeless sick.
The need of such an institution in Colum-
bus is definitely settled by the fact that the
Hospital is constantly full, and the Sisters,
to their regret, are obliged daily to turn
away those who seek relief at their hands.
From our knowledge of the hospital, and
those who have 1t in charge, we are certain
that the sick are faithfully nursed, without
question whence they come or to what de-
nomination they may happen to belong.
We, therefore, beg leave to commend the
object of the proposed Fair to our cittlnps,
and to express a hope that 1t will receive
liberal support. S. M. SMITH,
FRANCIS CARTER,
w. I'll. DRURY,
STARTLING LOVING.

The FESTIVAL TO BE REPEATED To-
NIGHT.-The Congregational Church ON
Broad street was filled to its utmost capaci-
ty last evening, atthe Festival of the Roses
by the children and youth from the Sabbath
School Of that Church. The audience,
though every seat was densely crowded,
seemed to enjoy this novel and rural en-
tertainment, as vision of that famed Ar
cadian or golden age, when none but forms
of beauty and innocence met the eye, and
the language spoken was music to the ear.
We were able to be present at the Church
only for a brief space last evening, but
saw and heard enough to satisfy us that the
scenery, the singing and the exercises gen.
orally were credit alike to the children
and those who assisted them in arranging
the programme. We are pleased to an
nounce that the Festival of Roses will be
repeated this (Friday) evening, at the Con-
gregational Church. 1t will no doubt again
cause the house to be filled to overtlowing.
Its merits certainly demand thai this should
be the case. A finer entertainment could
not well be devised.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-The CommerciaP
Washington special says there is no trui
in the report that the collection Of the NJ
ditional income tax Is delayed until q
Supreme Court decides on its constitution
ality. -
The Posts Washington special says Il
President has determined to reserve his dc
cision of the question Of the Chief Justice
ship of the Supreme Court until after Il
arrival Of Members of Congress.
The Investigation of the plot to burn th
city is proceeding with the greate'
vigor and secrecy. Genaral Dix is closete
daily with the detectives and others VIII
are engaged in this business. The exami
nation of prisoners has been going on be
fore Military Commission for the past tw
days, and those most conversant with tn
cases express great confidence that some {
the malefactors will be detected and pun
ished under General Dix's order. The citj
at this moment Is under the strictest sur.
veillance.
Lists of arrivals from the South are ser
daily from the hotels to headquarters, an,
all suspected persons who fail to repor
themselves will be summarily punished.
The leading hotel keepers are doing all II
their power to aid the authorities and arr
In constant communication with them. Iti
with which measures have been taken, tina
while the closest watch is kept throughou
the city, the agents of the Government and
their mode of operation are fully unknown
to the public at large.
The condition of things naturally excites
much alarm among the Southerners in tbis
city. Large numbers of them register
themselves daily, and many have come for.
ward to give what aid they can In detect.
ing thep plot. The number of these refugees
has been much exaggerated. Those whose
opportunities give them the best means q
knowing estimate them at from 10000 tC
$4,000 only. OF these a large proportion
are women and loyal Southerners, who have
abandoned their property and fled to escape
the tyranny of JEFF. Davis.
All who register themselves are Obliged
to take the oath Of allegiance. The only
exceptions to this rule are those who by
reasons of public policy are excused. The
precautions taken are such that it is proba-
BILE that the city was never so safe as at this
moment.
The vigilance exercised is well illustrat-
ed by the discovery of a torpedo on board
of one of the Sound freight steamers. Ii
was little pasteboard box. only about four
inches long, and was placed In boat which
carried but few passengers, and which af-
forded the best opportunities for such an
enterprise. Notwithstanding these facilities
it was instantly discovered and removed.
For obvious reasons we still refrain from
printing the names of the prisoners arrest
ed. Such information Is precisely that most
desired by their confederates still at large,

more leaves to-day for New Orleans, where
he will report to Gen. Candy for the pur-
pose of inspecting the defenses of various
fortified posts in the Western Military Di-
vision. 1876
The Herald's correspondent in the City of
Mexico, writing on the 3lst of October rep
resents the condition of the country, under
the Imperial regime as very deplorable.
Commerce is stagnant. Agricultural opera
tions have been so much destroyed by con-
robbery, throughout almost the entire Mex
ican territory the past two years, that the
most necessary articles are in the greatest
scarcity, and many people are said to be
dying of starvation in the cities of Mexico
and San Luis. -f.rfsN -..ra p

THE AMERICAN CoNFLIcT.-As most of
our readers are doubtless aware, Horace
Greeley has written and published the first
volume of a work, entitled, "The American
Conflict: A history of the Great Rebel
lion in the United States of America" The
volume is handsomely printed by o. D. Case
& Co., Hartford, Conn.,, and is meeting with
a rapid sale. Though written from Mr..
Greeley's standpoint on the slavery ques-
tion, it is valuable repository of facts and
documents, relating to events leading to,
and occurring since the commencement of
our present civil war. Mr.. Greeley, as all
will admit who are familiar with his style,
is clear, forcible and often, graceful wri-
ter.
Messrs. j. M. Stout and j. w. Fackler
are now in our city, canvassing for sub
scriptions to this volume of Mr.. Greeley's
History of the Rebellion. Such Of our citi-
zens as desire the work, should by all
means give these gentlemen their patron
age. r.tt

Q;Celegrap5it,

Sherman's Nov Oyements - Excife-
ment Among tle Rebeis-Attempt
of Federal Prisoners to Escape
from Salisbury, N. C.-FOur Men
KILLED and Large Number
Wounded.
New YORK, Dec. 1.-The Richmond Dis
patch of the 2Sth says the Georgia papers
publish great deal about Sherman's move
ments, and nearly as much about our own,
all Of which it would be very imprudent to
copy. IL was pretty we'll ascertained that
the left wing Of Sherman's army, when it
reached Madison, numbered 10000. They
burned the town when they lett. Augusta
papers show that the excitement In that
city a week ago Monday was very great,
and In the urgent need for troops it was
prepared to impress the negroes. One of
the papers of that place was very fearful of
treachory on the part of its citizens on
Sherman's arrival.
The Importance to the Confederacy of
Macon and Augusta is dwelt upon at length
by the rebel press, and that their fall would
be great disaster to 1t Is admitted. The
Richmond Whig derives some comfort from
an assertion which it strives to believe true,
that Sherman Is only marching on an aver.
age seven miles day.
The Richmond Enquirer of Nov. 2Sth
says: On Thursday last serious attempt
was made by Federal prisoners confined at
Salisbury, N. c., to make their escape,
which was rapidly and effectually quelled
at the expense Of considerable Yankee
blood. It appears that a plot had been
formed among the prisoners, of whom there
are at Salisbury some 1900, to overpower
the interior guard of the encampment, then
break through the line of the parapet guard,
and after seizing the arms they could march
through western North Carolina into Ten
nessee and make good their escape. In the
first part of their programme they succeed
ed. The interior guard was overpowered,
and two of the unfortunate men were killed
while resisting. They then attacked the
parapet guard, who fought bravely against
the terrible odds until the alarm had been
fully communicated to the garrison, and
two pieces of artillery were thrown into
position, bearing upon the encampment.
Two of the parapet guards were killed in
their gallant defense. In good time the ar
tillery opened, and after few raking dis
charges of grape and canister, the insur-
rectionists cried out for mercy and declared
that they would make no further effort to
get away. BY this time they were COM
pletely surrounded by artillery and infant
ry, and it was well for them that they
ceased their demonstration and sued for
mercy. In ten minutes more the whole
camp would have been one scene of slaugh-
ter. AS 1t was, about four were killed and
large number ounded. Thus very
foolish attempt to escape from Confederate
durance has ended.

New York, Dec. l. TIE Herald's New
Orleans correspondent gives a brief account
Of brilliant affair in louisiana. Gen. A.
L. Lee, commanding the Union forces at
Baton Rouge, returned to that point on the
22d ult., from an expedition to Liberty and
Brookville, bringing with him three pieces
of rebel artillery, between 700 and 800
horses and mules, and 0Oprisoners, includ-
ing the entire staff of General Hodge, all of
which were captured after a spirited en-
gagement with the enemy.
1t is reported that large portion of Ma
gruder's army is endeavOring to effect a
crossing of the Mississippi in order to re-
inforce Hood in Tennessee, but the Union
troops and gunboats are on the watch, and
will prevent it if possible.

tween Generals Banks and Candy, in charge
