OMcial Dispatches from Admiral
Lee-HoOd's LOsses-HoW he Crosse
ed the Tenneuuee River q

AchAce AhA -
New York, Jan. 1S.-Admiral Lee,
commanding the Mississippi squadron, de,
tails to the Navy Department an Official
dispatch Of the facts regarding the escape
across the Tennessee river, at cambridge
six miles above Florence, Aia.' OF the
remnants Of Hoods defeated ana oe.
moralized army. The Admiral says 1t
was only q sudden falling of the water and
prevalent fog which enabled the rebels to
elude the gunboats. All the pontoons
and other means of crossing below Balm
bridge were destroyed, and thousands OF
Hoods men were consequently scattered
through the woods on the north side OF
the river. The Admiral encloses dis
patch which he received from Thomas,
dated Pulaski, Tenn. Dec. 29th, IN winch
he sums up, as far as then known to him'
Hoods losses in men and artillery from
the time he crossed the Tennessee north
wardly, and puts them down at 10 Cen
eral officers, $4,000 men killed, wounded
and captured, and 10 pieces of artillery.
It. rather singular though that he does
not include in the account, Hoods Killed
and wounded in the two days battle be-
fore Nashville, on the 18th and 10th.
Sncce.sfuI Union Raid-Gen: Grnn-
ger In the vicinity Of MoDlle-suc-
cess Of his Operations.
The details of the Union raid of Col.
Robinson from Fort Barancas, Florida, to
,Pollards, Alabama, show it to have been
very successful. The rebels attempted to
check his advance, but were badly beaten
and lost heavily.
General Granger, on the 22d Ilt., was
within twenty-eight miles of Mobile. His
forces had also met with great success IN
operations from Mobile Bay to Jackson
county, Mississippi,
The Richmond Papers DenoHnce Jc1l
Davis-Lee for Dictator.
The Richmond papets are growing more
bold daily in denunciation of Davis, and
in demanding The appointment of Lee to
the supreme command of the armies. The
Examiner of the 9th says Jeff.'s course is
fast whirling the Confederacy to desrruc-
ton.
TheReace Commissioners-R Of
Blnir's Return.
The Worlds special says it is rumored
that the Peace Commissioners have asked
permission to cross our lines, but no re-
ply has reached them.
The Times special says it is repo rted
Blair has returned from Richmond.
Exchange Commissioners.
The Richmond Wing of the 10th re-
ports an interview between Commission
ers of Exchange, but does not know the
result.
News from NIexieo-Succcss of the Re
publican Arms.
Dates from Mexico to the 2Sth ult.,
show that the Republican troops were
still giving the Imperialists plenty to do.
Ten thousand of the Emperor's soldiers
were defeated by the Republicans at Eta.
The reported defeat of the Republicans
under Ortega is unfounded. Throughout
all Southern Mexico the supporters OF
Juarez are very active. In one town the
Imperial garrison had revolted, put the
Project to death, and joined the Republi-
cans.

TIE LEeIsLATURE.

overhauling the four columns which the
morning papers devote to the record OF
.rsntv.SOur hours proceedings of the
Issisls,ure, we find the following bust
nsss to have been transacted during that
period: an
ing the official oath, was passed; also the
bill prohibiting the payment oil eer.a u,
S,orar county warrants; also, the bill
providing for the survey of the western
boundary OF the State; also a bill Tor the
rs,;sf of the Assessor of Humboldt (passed
over the Governors Seto). There was an
;rsnitv Of talk in the House, in the course
~ which Governor Blasdel and Secretary
Wells were scored merci'essly.
Mr.. Bishop offered resolution that the
legislature adjourn to-day sine die Mr..
pa,,en, among others, supported the reso
luton on the ground of irreeoncilable hos
t;r,v between the Executive and Legisla-
tive Departments of the State Govern
ment. The resolution was lost by vote
Of IS 10 20. Little Bien, also, had II heap
of trouble. His pedanuc poppycock
about "ancieut Romans and Eastern
ba,tle-6elds" disguised his hearers, and
he was called to order and told to "blow
his nose with his fingers and go on with
the play" He was asked if he didn't
want the Gold Hill News banished,
etc, etc.
In the Senate no bills were passed,
although several new ones were intro
duced-among Others an Attachment Law,
by Mr.. Clagett. The same trouble with
the Governor, clogs the action of Senate
as it does of the House. 1t looks as
though the first session of the Nevada
Legislature might any day end in grand
blow up.

PHILADELPHIA IN WAR TINES In
1866 Philadelphia polled 7O,l9 votes, and
in 1864, 96,6O2, being an increase of 26,
4o4 votes. In 1869 permits for 1858
dwellings were issued, while in 1868 the
number had increased to 2,465. The in.
haoitants consumed 9,49S,775,l4l gallons
OF water in 1868, an increase of {, 1868, 349,-
1872 since 1868. In the item of gas there
has been the same proportionate increase
the manufacture in 1860 being 39,600,-
600 cubic feet, while in 1863 the amount
reached 735,0OO,00O cubic feet, an increase
of 95,5OO,OO0. The effect Of the war on
the morals of society has not been SO per.
nieious as was feared, as the commitments
to the county prison, which in 1860
amounted to 20,7S9, had decreased in
1868 to 1920.

The STATE PRINTING. - The Sacra-
mento Bee. speaking of the late contest for
the State Partnership of Nevada, says:
1.-THE publishers over the mountains have
had severe fight over the public printing
bone, which, according to all accounts,
must be an exceeding lean one" The
Bee is right about that. The prices al
lowed are no fat thing, and the rivalry
between the Union and Enterprise is the
only thing that makes the victory TIL
umph for the former.

Los ANGELES CoTToN IN France
We take the following extracts from let
ter from J. Northumberland Of France
in this city-to the Wilmington Journal,
of the Oath ult.:
"a few months ago lsent to France
five samples of cotton cultivated in this
county. The owners were NJ. NJ. Wilson,
Temple, Workman, Watson, and another
person whose name do not know. These
samples were carefully examined by order
of His Excellency the Minister of Agri-
culture and Commerce in France, and the
result of said examination, which has
been officially communicated to me, is as
follows:
"The samples coming from Los Ange-
les market, Nos. to 8, are all Of an iden-
teal quality, as far as can be judged by
this small invoice. -,
"The cotton still attached to the seed is
Court sole, short cotton.
1.-THE fibre is pretty nervous, but lit
tie rougher and less regular than the short
silk cotton of America.
"This cotton, cleared Of the seed ana
well prepared, would fetch about the same
price as the short silk cotton of the UNI
ted States, from $40 to $50 francs the 80
kilogram, from 81 to 63 dollars the lou
pounds. }"
It is stated that the cotton above re.
ferred to is equal to that of the same kind
produced in the slave States. Several
hundred acres Of cotton will be planted in
this county the coming season; on the
coming in of the crop, the question of
continuance and expansion in the culture
OF cotton win be thoroughly settled
From the trials which have already been
made, It is pretty certain to prove sue
cess; 1t viii greatly increase the staple
products of this portion of California

it had q large Southern trade,

VIRGINIA Mr.. Cutter, on
Thursday, gave notice of Bill to create
the city and county of Virginia. Some
time ago, Mr.. Bishop gave notice of a
Bill to create the county of Union-the
boundaries consisting of the territory now
embraced in Gold Hill. The consolida-
ton question having become spawned, q
formidable divorce in Storey county is
evidently brewing. We go in for the
Union question. and call the Bishop to
perform the ceremonies.

A SHARP ORDER BY GENERAL But
LER.-General Butler has issued the fol-
lowing order for the protection of the en-.
listed men in his command:
HEADQUARTERS, l
DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA AND NORTH
CAROLINA, Amy OF THE JAMES,
In THE FIELD, Va,
December 5, 1864.
General Order No. l63.-1t has come to
the knowledge of the commanding Gen
eral, BY frequent complaints of private
soldiers, thar officers borrow money of the
enlisted men Of their commands.
No practice could be more demoralizing
in both officers and men. Enlisted men
do not feel themselves at liberty to refuse
their officers Men, if they loan money
to their officers, expect favors in return,
and there is an end to discipline, and an
incentive to favoritism. Officers borrow
ing money Of their men do not regulate
their expenditures within their income,
and find themselves unable to repay it.
This practice must be stopped. Here
after it will be held cause to recommend
for dismissal any officer who shall borrow
money or incur debt TO an enlisted man.
After the next payment any officer who
shall be indebted to an enlisted man. and
has not paid him, will be recommended
Tor dismissal upon complaint of the
creditor.
This order will be read in the presence
OF every company in the command at two
separate parades.
By command Of Major General Butler.

The average gross weight of each silver

sumo that every ounce of silver bullion

FIRE.-About four O'Clock Sunday morn
ing the people on Huron street, near the
Synagogue, as we'll as the neighbors on
Prospect street, were aroused by screams
and shouts of a. fire ." Men and women
jumped into their clothes in double quick
time, and hurried out to the scene, finding
the back part of the house No. 81 Huron
street in flames. By the time the steamers
had arrived and commenced playing, most
of the furniture, save that in the kitchen
and back shed, had been taken out.
The removal of the household effects
proved a needless loss to the owners, be-
cause the fire was prevented from spread
iug into the main portion of the dwelling.
Mrs. Craw owns the house, and lived in
the wing of the building. All Of her furni-
ture was taken out, except the carpet,
which was saturated and ruined by water.
We understood that the house was insured,
so that her loss is covered.
Mr.. R. G. h. Huntington occupied the
rest of the house. He had the bulk of his
effects packed ready to be moved, and they
we're rapidly carried into the street. Some
Of his kitchen furniture was destroyed, but
his insurance covers the loss.
Mr.. Chauncey Roberts had moved his
things into the horse on Saturday and many
of them, including stoves and all his kitch-
en- furniture, being set down in the kitchen
and shed, were burned. The best and q
large part of his effects were in the front
rooms, and were consequently saved. The
total loss was estimated from S4OO to $500.
The origin of the FIRE is not positively
known, though the inmates are confident
that it was the work of an incendiary. 1t
caught in the back room among the furni-
ture of Mr.. Roberts. No FIRE had been used
in that apartment. One of the family was
awake and, smelling smoke, ran back and
saw flames lesping over carpeting laid on
the tops of barrels, as if some highly in
fammable mixture had been sprinkled
over the goods by some scamp from the
slide window in that room.
