Yesterday afternoons dispatches COZ
densed from the Cincinnati Gassttss cor
respOndencs give a vivid and detailed
account Of Thomas magnificent victory on
Friday, which seems to have been the de-
cisive day of the contest. On Thursday,
only the rebel left was driven back, and
Hoods whole line maintained a stubborn
conflict. But on Friday, after terrific
fighting, the details Of which the telegraph
gives the enemy seems to have been com
pletely whipped. On Saturday, Hood was
in full retreat, and the details of Sstur-
days fighting seem to show nothing but
q series of captures Of men, flags, wagons
and cannon from the enemy. On Satur-
day night our forces were already beyond
Franklin, and the Union headquarters
were near that city. Hoods retreat has
changed into rout; his army is disor-
ganized and scattered; and the unrelent-
ing pursuit with which Thomas follows it
viii crush and crumble it still more. The
