about 90 wagons, with between 500 and 1000

G. II. THOMAS, Maj-Gen.
An unofficial dispatch gives the following
details of the fight before Nashville;
NASHVILLE, 1O:30 P NJ. Dec. Is.
Our line advanced and engaged the rebel
line at 9 AN. The line was formed thus /:
Steadman on the left, I. J. Wood, with the
18th Army Corps, next, 4. j. Smith next,
and Cox 10 the reserve, aud the cavalry IN
der Wilson, fighting dsmounted, occupying
the extreme right, aided by gunboats on the
river. The artillery practice has been fine, and
at times the musketry firing continuous and
heavy. and though the casualties have been
light, the results are very fair. The left oc-
cupies the same ground as i'll the morning, but
the right has advanced FIVE miles, driving the
enemy from the river, from his entertainments
and from the hills on which his left rested, and
forced it back on his right and centre.
His centre was pushed back from one to
three miles, with a loss in all OF II guns
and about l 800 prisoners, and bis whole line
Of earthworks, except about mile on his ex-
IRENE right, where no strenuous attempt was
made to dislodge him. The whole of Hoods
army is here except the cavalry. and one divis-
ion which has been detached to threaten an
attack on Murfreesboro. The whole action of
to-day was splendidly successful. The divis-
ions commanded by Gen. Kimball, of the 4th
| Corps, by Gen. Garrard, of the command IN
der Gen. Smith, and the cavalry division un
| der Gen. Krich, were under my observation,
and / have never seen better work Gen.
Kimball's divisions carried two fortified posi-
tions by assaults, with very slight loss, cap
turing at one point 400 prisoners and six guns.
No doubt other parts of the line did as we'll.
1 only speak of what 1 saw.
No intelligence has been received from
Sherman later than the published dispatches
transmitted by Gen. Foster and Admiral
Dahlgren.

FRAUD IN MAKING INCOME RETURNS Two
prominent merchants, doing business in Louis
vile, KY, were recently brought to grief for
making fraudulent returns OF their income for
the year 1868. Under the present law it is
made the duty Of the assessors to re-examine
all returns of this kind, and if he has any sus.
pioion offraud he must summon the parties to
appear before him with their books and their
papers, and must examine the parties and their
witnesses under oath, touching their various
sources of income. The merchants above re-
ferred to were each fined $500 and costs, ma
king total in each case Of nearly S7OO-in
addition to which they had to pay an income
tax on three times the amount of their origin
al returns.
