The Rebels an the New York
Fires.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 5.-The Richmond
inquirer of Saturday has an article on the
late fires IN New York, ridiculing the af-
fair, aud concluding as .tollows:
OF course it was a rebel plot . Did not
they fire on Sumter, where was planted the
old flag! A morality that does nc. re-
strain violence to tho emblem Of the best
government, &c, will hardly be 10th to
join to it the sin of burning hotels. Moth
ing can be clearer than the proof Of the
completely of Davis In burning or attempt-
ing to burn some half dozen hotels in
New York. We have never received any
thing more truly Yankee than this whole
affair.
We are very glad to SEQ that oil the
Southern refugees are required to register
themselves. Ii Gen. Dix will hang them
he will do . service to our cause. A set Of
cowardly sneaks who have deserted their
country are not above hotel burning. We
hope Dix will hang every mothers son OF
them. 9

CINc.NNArr, Dec. 5-Major General
Stanley, wounded in the late battle OF
Franklin, arrived yesterday. Hesays the
reports of the battle that have reached the
public have not exaggerated the rebel loss
es. The fight was made to save our trains,
which were Of enormous size, filling the
roads for twelve miles. II was not intend
ed TO hold Franklin longer than was neces-
sary TO get our property out of the way.
The rebels had been pressing US very hard
