Details Of the Pursuit---Recapture of
Woanded-Political Affairs,

tFrom Our SPECIAL Correspondent
NASHVILLE, Dec. Fl, 1861
The weather has materially intcrte1ed with
the pursuit of Hood. First, there we're three
or four days Of almost incessant rain and
then cold snap succeeded, so that In either
ease, the pursuit could not be so fruitful as it
would otherwise have been. Nevertheless, 1T
has done well and 30 great has been Hoods
loss, that his army has ceased TO be formida-
ble to us, or useful to the Confederacy. It now
numbers less than 10000 men-one-half cav
airy, branch Of the service which has suffer
ed but slightly during the late contests,
owing to the fact that it WAS scattered over
The country gathering supplies, and could
not be collected together in time to take part
in the battles. ',,.
? Hoods loss, since the commenccmentof Of tho
campaign north of the Tennessee, is not far
from 20, 900, nearly oil falling upon his infant
~ and artillery. The woods are; fill offie
serters. The man who raised the first rebel
fag in this city-M- L.. Brooks, well known
journalist-arrived here yesterday, disguised
with the service. He says that every member
Of his company deserted, and he would not
remain longer, He WIS q prisoner here in
1862, and offered his liberty then If hc would
take the oath Of allegiance; but he refused.
Now, however, he has given the matter Up.
BE says that no man In the South now cx-
poets to gain their independence the defeat
Of Mcclellan swept away their last hope.
PRISONERS CAPTURED Up TO DATE.
In order to arrive at something like cor
rect statement Of the number Of prisoners
captured in the late battles, I mado inquiry

the matter, and to him am indebted for the

ST1ITNG T1aFsNISELyES TO CIR
CUMSTANCES.


CUMSTANCES.
II is astonishing how easily the rebel press
can adapt themselves to circumstances. In
time Of safety they roar like so many lions.
Their uttcrances are bombastic, threatening
and insolent in The most supcrlatiye degree.
The peculiar characteristics Of the Southern
chiva'ry are admirably developed in Savannah
journals. With Sherman at Atlanta they arc
as valiant and trucnlcnt as ,nay be. They
welcome the foe to hospitable graves. They
ingcniously point out the manner in, which
they proposeE4o ovorrhe1m the ,auda!s.
They challenge them TO The field, boast Of
their valor, aud ti,e The Southern heart to
most dangerous point Of combustion.
But wi:n Si,crman ut Savannah, the tone is
changed. Conc the appeals to the field. Gone
the valor and the breathings Of fire and
Slaughter. Gone MI the panop1y md pomp
of war. Their columns are wreathed with
olive branches. They come out to meet the
cnnqueror and cry 1'ecoautsnus They counsel
Obedience and all proper respect, and propose
80 to behave themselves as to win the admit
ration Of the :" magnnntmouB foe" There is
no more talk Of ''beasts" and "butchers,''
"Hessiaus'' " and 'tVanda1s," !" :" mudsllls and
mercenary Yankees" The foe has suddenly
turned to naEnanImous one who is to hold
indefinite. possession Of their city. We have
often suspected this, and imagined that these
terrible lions would turn out to be something
else when their zeal natures were discovered.
There Is nothing that will bring your braggado.
clio to terms go quickly as thorough chastise-
mcnt. It Is better, far better, than all moral
suasion or peace Chastise them
soundly, defeat their armies, hold their cities,
compel them to feel the results Of their tres
eon In some practical way, and those who have
1nade the loudcst noise will fawn like whip
ped spaniels and dispute precedence in doing
homage to the conqucror- The donkey in the
lions skin caused fearful dlsmay a1nong the
flocks until his ears cropped out one day and
he WAS silly enough to attempt roar:

knows also that such Is the price of exchange
that it now costs more than twice as much TO

How can It possibly be, then, that two
pounds Of rags, costing twice as much n5
they did before the war, can be made INTO pa,
per now and the paper cost less than twice a.
much Us it did before the war? You must
also put into the computation the fact that
there is large amount Of chemicals entering

abroad at the same double price, and more
too, from the necessity growing out OF tho
cost Of exchange.
