The Ticket.

The ticket presented by the State
Convention, is one which viii, in an
eminent degree, enlist the sympa-
thies Of loyal men, and command the
respect of even rebel sympathizers. We
have no doubt but Brownlow was the
first choice Of every member of the
Union party. lie wss nominated by
Mr. Bingham, of Memphis, and had
been originally named at meeting of
several thousand persons in that city;
and the sane feeling that existed there
was prevalent in Middle and East Ten
nessee.
1t is useless to pronounce any eulogy
on one who has done and suffered 50
much for the Union cause; his history
is known throughout, not only the
State, but the nation; and his name is
a household word, wherever the flag Of
his country is revered, and the princi-
pies Of freedom honored
The Legislative ticket is not only a
good, but strong one Who viii
doubt the genuineness of the move
ment for the reorganization Of the
State, when such nen as Bowen,
Wisener, Trimble, and a host Of others,
of similar standing, are candidates for
the general assembly? We shall ex-
pect TO see Tennessee once more enjoy
the blessings of civil government
within four or FIVE months, and We
have no fears that the next Congress
will fail to welcome Senators and Rep
resentatives from this State

Battle Of yasbyIlIe-GeneFal HOODS

Battle OF KashvIIle-6eneFSl HOODS
0fiCial Report.
From the Richmond Sentinel, January 2.
The following official dispatch was
received st the War Department on
Saturday evening from General Beau
regard =
MACON, January 9TH, 1865.
ToGen S. Cooper, Adjutant snd In
spector General
General Hood reports from Spring
Hill. December II, 1864, that on the
morning of the 18th inst, in front Of
Nashville, the enemy attacked both
tanks Of his army. They were Fepul-
sed on the right with heavy loss, but to-
wards evening they drove in his infant
~ outposts on the left Hank.
Early on the 10Th, the enemy made g
general attack on his entire line. All
their assaults were handsomely repuls-
ed with heavy loss until halfpast SIX P.
AZ when a portion Of our line to the lett
of the center suddenly gave way, caus-
ing our lines to give way at all points
our troops retreating rapidly. fVty
Disees Of artillery and several ordnance nag
oEs ,osrs lost b. Us on that day. Our loss
in killed and wounded heretofore small
in prisoners not sscertained- Major
General Edward jackson and Brigadier
Generals I. B. Smith and Il K. Jackson
are captured.
9. T. BEAUREGARD,
General.
This, then, is Hoods Report; and
the Richmond Dispatch, commenting
on it, is not far wrong in saying that
even according 70 his account, the battle Of
Nashville Uas bad business" But does he
tell all the truth lie lightly passes
orer the number Of prisoners captured
he has had no time TO make the ne
cessary estimate That, sll will agree,
was very great omission; and is that alp
By no means. Hood tells several de-
liberate falsehoods.
In the frat place, he states that in
the fight of the 18th, MS right repulsed
our left, but that the outposts, on his
left, were driven in. The fact was, and
We we're present and saw it, our forces
were repulsed at no point, on the 18th )
every charge was successful; and not
only were the rebel outposts driven in,
but the whole line of rebel works-the
main line-was captured AT night
the rebels we're over a mile beyond
any eerthWorlzs and those behind
which they fought on the 10th were
inprovised on the night of the ISth
and besides all this, the rebels lost on
that day l8 guns and 1900 prisoners,
all of which Hood ignores.
Again, with reference to the battle OF
the 10Th, Hood tells US that he repealed
all assaults till o'clock P. N, which IS
false. Before three o'clock, but two
were made, one Of which was success
full; and at three q general advance
broke the rebel lines, from end to end,
in ten minutes, capturing, as the rebel
commander acknowledges so guns;
and he might have added, 5000 adj
ditional prisoners

The news from EngIand-Fhe Recent
yictories-The Canadian Imbr0gllO.

inc news rum 4h5 AHhN INV 1900
yictorles-The Canadian ImbrogllO.
The European news brought by the
Moravian, at Portland, ia to the Both of
December. says the n. Y Herald, and
Of considerable interest twill indeed
be regarded by many Of our readers as
Of much Importance. The Moravian
reports that the Hausa, which sailed
from New York on Saturday, the 18th
ult, had reached southampton, an
nouncing the capture of Fort McAllis>
ter by General Sherman, the probable
fall of Savannah, the details of General
Thomas great victory at Nashville, and
the publication Of General Dix's order
on the subject of the future treatment
of rebel raiders from Canada, together
with the reports of the action in Con-
gress on Canadian affairs.
This stirring intelligence, reaching
England in one day, produced re-
markable effect on the minds Of the
people of that country, causing some
what of financial and political SEN
sation. The rebel loan declined three
per cent, an active demand sprang up
for United States fve-twenty bonds,
which rose rapidly in the market Iii
nois and Erie stock went up, making
the advance one dollar per share on the
weeks transactions, and cotton de-
clined.
These were results which were rea-
sonably expected to flow from such
news, but the comments of the London
press on Gen. Dix's famous order appear
the most remarkable, when all things
are taken into consideration. 1t was
thought that England would throw
herself into state of great ex-
element over the threat to invade
Canada She did so on the Trent
affair, and Why not on 9 Canadian invsS
sion But the contrary is the case.
The most rabid of the anti-American
journals merely express the hope that
the order may not be enforced" and
Congress may not complicate the stu
alton" by It's action on it. The London
Times finds that President Lincoln is
'' frank and " temperate in the Ian
guage of his message on the subject Of
the raids, and scouts the idea that Eng
land and the United States should 60
to war merely to play the game" Of the
rebel agents in Canada and on the from
tier line, who have been intriguing 70
bring about such formidable" event

a very stanch and dangerous sntsgonlst
Her entire crew, officers and men, numbers
about seventy, and everything about her
presented the appearance of the best man

Tie 0blezgo 1rib.sss publishes letter
from Springfield, DL, containing the fol-
lowing:
WTThe old residence of Mr.. Lincoln was
the center of mournful interest throughout
the entire day of the funeral. With the
appearance Of the house, which has become
historic, all are familiar. Plain, unpre-
tending and substantial, it is the type OF
Mr.. Iincoln's character. The shrubbery
10 front of the house, principally rose
bushes. many of them planted by Mr.. Lin
coins own hand, are in full leaf, and q
beautiful rose-yine chambers up one of the
door posts, and trails over the cornice.
Lilies sre sprinkled here and there, and
closely shGven trim grass plsts run down
to the nest picket fence surmOuntlng the
wall. The columns Of the piazza at the
rear of the house are also tWlned win
vines and creepers, and the apple trees
between the house and the barn shoWered
the ground with pink and white blossoms,
and filed the air with fragrance. The
house, which is now occupied by Luclen
Tilton, was very heavily draped In mourn
ing. The windows were curtalned Wltn
black and white, the corner posts Wresthed
with eEergreens, the cornice hidden by
fe toons of black and white looped up at
intervals, and the space between the
eorniee of the door and the central window
filed with the American asg graceful ly
trimmed. There is little Of the furniture
in the house which belonged TO Mr.. Lin
coin. In the front psrlor is a what-not
and q small msrble-top table, on which
was lying q besutiful cross OF white
cameliss. In the back parlor, which he
was accustomed 70 use ss his study, is his
bookcase. This was his iavOrite room,
and here he toiled and wrote, uncon-
sciously preparing himself for th9 great
mission he was TO fulfil
