EXTRACTS FROM BEECHER.
What Henry Ward Bsechsr Says of
mcclellan and Wendell Phillips.

What Henry Ward Bseoher says OF
Mcclellan and Wendell PhilllPg.
The New York Independent publishes q
report of Henry Ward Beecher's discourse
at his church in Brooklyn last Sunday
evening week. We would gladly print all
he said on the occasion did our space per-
nit. The following extracts must suffice.
They are very readable:
GENERAL M'oLBLLAN.
First, let me speak of Gen. MecOlellani
who is the favorite and nominee OF the
convention at Chicago, and who is the cam
didate of the democratic party. Neither
of him nor of Mr.. Lincoln is their any
word to be spoken respecting their private
character. Happily, the American people
have presented TO them two gentlemen that
are alike irreproachable in morals and in
private life. II is General Mcclellan, then,
as representative man, whom we are 70

private endowments only so far as these
would be involved in the discharge OF his
public duties should he become President.

EXPEDITION OF GEN. FOSTER.
Attempt to Tap the Charleston aud
Savannah Railroad.
ITS PROBABLE SUCCESS.

HILTON HEAD, November 30, IL A. M have
come round to Hilton Head this morning, and
find that Fosters expedition landed at BOyd's
Point, on the Broad river, yesterday morning,
and were to strike the Savannah and Charleston
Railroad at Grahamsyille, twelve miles from the
point Of debarkation.
They marched out yesterday, finding nothing
to oppose them but cavalry, who didn't oppose,
but skedadded. This morning l have heard
heavy firing In the direction of the railroad. The
captain OF the steam transport Hoghton, just from
the 'front.' having left Boyd's Point at 930 A, NJ,
says that the report vas current when he left that
our forces had captured seven miles of the rail-
road, and were still advancing.
He says the firing this morning is very heavy.
! do not credit the story of the captdre of so
much Of the railroad. The country is very i'm
practicable for the movement Of troops, and FOs-
ter could scarcely have got on so fast.
At Hilton Head we are all hopeful of Fosters
success in taking the railroad aud holding it, thus
cutting off communication between Charleston
and Sayannah.-Neto York Times.

DESPATCH FROM GEN. HARDEB
Report that General Sherman was
Defeated Before Millen,


WAsHINGToN, December 5.-Richmond papers
Of Saturday, the Sd instant are jus. received
here.
The situation in Georgia and South Carolina
wears less cheerful aspect than at latest advce5
The cooperative expedition under General
Foster, which last week went out TO strike the
Charleston and Savannah Railroad, has failed.
EAn official despatch from General Hardee to
General Bragg, under date Of the ID instant, an
nounces that he has whipped the enemy, aud
driven him beyond the Coosawhatchee Foster
leaving his dead and wounded on the field.
The tone of the papers Of Saturday is much
more jubilant than hitherto. They state that
not only has Sherman not taken Millen, but that
he was badly beaten before that place. They
also boastiugly proclaim that he will never bring
one-half of his army to the coast.
People will, Of course, receive these statements
with the usual grains of allowance.
Knowing ones say that the Presidents Message
will deal with the peace question as heretofore,
and that no peace propositions will be contained
in it beyond perfect willingness to receive the
Rebels back as soon as they lay down their arms.
The people having by the recent election decided
in favor of war, it will be carried to a success

Great BaItIe-RebeI Views of Hoods
Movement.
NASHVILLE, Saturday, December After two
days of wet weather, the clouds disappeared this
morning, and the day has been magnificent. l
have been on our right all day. Our line of bat
tie extends around the suburbs of the city, our
right and left respectively resting on the Cumber-
land river.
The enemy's line of battle is Just two miles
from the city. Quite heavy skirmishing in front
OF General A. ]. smith and Wood has been going
on all the afternoon by shRrpshoOters on both
sides. On the right of our centre, near Widow
Acklin's place, the euemy's skirmishers became
troublesome, taking krefuge behind houses on
Franklin, Granny White, and Hillsboro pixies.
Two houses were burned several injured and
ruined by our artillery.
We used considerable artillery this afternoon
on our right and right centre, but elected no reply
from the Rebel artillery. The supposliOn is that
they are short Of this kind of ammunition. Seye-
raj of our men were killed to-day by their sharp
shooters, including two members Of the 9th Ohio
Battery.
The enemy's line can be seen quite plainly with
the naked eye.
All railroading south of this city has ceased to
exist. Murfreesboro, Bridgeport, and Chatta-
nOoga are deemed safe. Events of some moment
are anticipated tomorrow. Il may be considered
an mpossibiity for the Rebels to cross tue river
either on our right or left, as Commodore Fitch
is here with fleet of gunboats.
Johnsonville has been eyacuted Everything
was removed from all the railroads in safety.
Thrty-three locomotives and trains were sent
North this morning.
Nashville and the surrounding country for miles
has been converted into huge fortress. The
destruction of Rebel property in defense Of the
city will be almost incalculable. AS almost all
the rich property owners hereabouts are Rebel
sympathizers, the rage manifested by this portion
of the community at the approach of the Rebel
army, necessitating the destruction Of their pro-
perty is unbOunded.
General Frank CheathAm, commanding one Of
the Rebel corps, has his headquarters atthe house
Of Mr.. Bdmonson, ou the Murfreesboro pike, four
miles from the city. He told EdmOnsOn that
Hood had orders TO go to Nashville or 20 hell.
There is plenty of water in the river for boating
purposes.
Vague Tumors are afoat about Forrest crossing
the river, and BreckinrIdge joining Hood, all Of
which are untrue. The situation of our forces Is
considered perfectly sattsfaetory.-N. Y. Times

BALTIMORE, December 5.-Thc special corres-
pondent OF the Baltimore american, writing from
Fortress Monroe last evening, reports the arrival
Of the steamer General Lyon, from Savannah,
WAh seven hundred and fifty released prisoners.
At the time the General Lyon left, on last
Thursday night, the latest news received from
Savannah was to the effect that Sherman occupied
Aillen, Ca, and that his cavalry was scouting
several miles out from the town, meeting with
but little resistance.
- Every effort was being made for the defense of
Favannab Our prisoners report that boys of
thirteen years, and even women, were assisting
tn the trenches and earlhworks.
Sherman was slowly but surely advancing to
the coast, and no doubt of his success need be
entertained.

December When the steamer lett information

This does not conflict with the news brought
by the steamer Belle, which arrived on Saturday

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-09-15
LETTER PROM MAYOR GUNTHER.

NEW ] ORK, Sept. IA,
Mayor Gunther has sent letter to the
American Emigration Company, refusing
his sympathy and support. on the ground
that the act Of Congress under which the
association was Organized, is in
his Judgment for another purpose.
Its title was misnomer, and should have
beed called bait under fraudulent pre-
lenses, to enlist foreigners.
Large numbers of recruits and substi-
tutes 90 to the front to-day, 100 going
from Hart's Island alone There are 100
in Boston, and 800 at New Haven, await
ing transportation. TO-
The steamship, Vanderbilt, which has
been in this port fora long time rehtting
is again ready for sea. siil. solo.
The improvements will probably enable
her to increase her ordinary hig BIT rate of
speed, and it is considered likely she will
resume her search for rebel privateers.
It is reported that about $4,000 men are
constantly working on the machinery of
hundred OF more new vessels, wooden
and ircn clad, now constructing for the
Navy Department. The intention is to
prevent the delsysso usual in consequence
Of the non-oompletion of machinery. l
