NORTHERN DISPATCHES.
Camden. Dec. 15th, 1864.
Nashville, Dec. 4th.—Situation is un-
changed since the advance of the rebel lines
last night Two of our transports were
Raptured last night between Nashville and
ilarkaville. The rebels are establishing
.tteries on Cumberland and Harpeth
Hhosls. There was skirmishing on all points
of the line to-day.
Citizens from the city were gobbled up
and put on the fortifications to prevent
crgwds of idlers. The rebel Generals Gist,
Brown and Stahl were killed and Granber-
ry was wounded. Our loss at Frankin
two thousand, rebel loss much greater.
There is no truth in the reported killing
of Forrest and Hood's death.
Macon, Nov. 26 —The enemy left Mil-
ledgeville and Gordon Friday morning
both columns going in the direction of
Millen, destroying the railroad. At Mil-
ledgeville they destroyed only the peniten-
tiary, depot and bridges—no private pro-
perty.
Paducah, Dee. 3.—We [Federals] aban-
doned Johnsonville on Monday, and ecnt
our forces to Nashville.
Refugees ai.d contrabands were sent
down the rivej.
The rivdr is now wholly abandoned,
Richmond papers of December 3d say
(he Yankees landed at Fort Royal and
moved into the interior in expectation of
meeting ifSherman's advance. They en
countered a body of Confederates at Gra-
ham*vil!e.
Grahamsville is a station on the Charles-
ton and Savsmnah Railroad, 34 miles from
Savannah and 7o miles trom Charleston.
Foster captured Pocotaliara bridge, fur-
ther inland than Qrahamsville, forty-nine
"{miles from Savannah and fifty-five miles
fvm Charleston.
The Yankees were badly beaten and dri-
ven back, leaving their dead behind. The
Yankees were driven towards Beaufort.
Savannah, Doc. 2.—T have just returned
from the front. The enemy was badly
whipped, and retired to Coosahatchie. An-
other point on the railroad is threatened,
but I do not apprehend any serious attack.

Washington, Dec. 5 —News from Sa-
vannah, received here to-day through
•^Southern papers, leaves no room to doubt
that Sherman has reached the coast with
his entire army.
New York, Dec. 5.—Rumors of disaster
to Union forces in Georgia are not con-
firmed. Nearly all Southerners arrested
by Dix Lave been discharged. Gold 229.
The. rebels l ave just opened a new bat-
tery near Fort Darling, raking the chan
no' from Dutch Clap.
Lincoln sends in his message to-morrow
The Tribune'^ special irotn the Shenan-
doah Valley snys the rebel cavalry under
Rosser rade a clean thing in their raid to
New Creak, in West Virginia, lat-t week.
They captured four pieces of artillery,
neveral hundred prisoners, and large
droves of cattle and sheep. They spike
r the ordnance they could not move and git
back safely to New Market.
Sherman was reported within six miles
r>{ Savannah ou the 30th. Savannah wa«
being strongly forlified to opppse him
Traius loaded with soldiers were arriving
on the Gulf R. R. The|Savannah Repub-
lican of the 30th says Sherman made lit
tie progress wrh the main body of lus*
army in the last two days.
He is still on i^e railroad some distance
beyond Millen replenishing his commissa-
ry. He is badly prepared for trials to come.
The enemy's cavalry is between here and
Millen. Wheeler thrashed Kilpatrick last
Monday. The latter was driven back in the
direction of the infantry. One thousand
Yankees landed eight miles from Savannah
M yesterday.
We still think Sherman will not attack
Savannah, but make for the coast direct
Gen. Taylor has been ordered to take
temporary command of all the Confederate
reserves in Alabama and Georgia. '
The Georgia militia have been turned
over to the Confederate service.
Our loss at Griswoldville, says the Ma-
con Telegraph, was six hundred and four-
teen. ,
den. Cobb's plantation was destroyed
Millbdoeville, Nov. 23.—To the May
or ot Macon : Our citizens have been ut
lerly despoiled of everything by the Yan
leers. Send us tread and meat or great
suffering will come. We have no mules
v or horses. Bend by wagon tram.
1 The railroad badge and the bridge over
Oconee is burned. The State House, Exc
cutive Mansion and factory still left.

A Richmond Dispatch of Dec. 2d says
Kiipatrick attempted to cross the Savan
nah river, but was driven back by Wheelor
in the direction of Millen.
A Richmond Dispatch of Dec. 3d says
Sherman's main army is moving towards
the coast, a battle is expected.
Probably Sherman will reach the At-
lantic coast, then move on Richmond by
sea. He will not capture Augusta or Sa
vannah. Seven hundred prisoners arrived
rat Augusta, who were captured while for
aging for Sherman.
Nashville, Dec. 5.—The enemy's line
of battle is just two miles frodk the city
~ Hood has orderB to go to Nashville. Out
forces abandoned Dedatur Nov. 26.

Camden, Pec. 15, 1864.
NORTHERN DISPATCHES.
Cairo, Dec. 4th.—The rebels have
blockaded Cumberland river twelve miles
below Nashville, compelling steamers to
turn back. The greatest consteration
exists in Nashville, the people fleeing en
masse. The blockade cuts ofl' A. J. Smith's
command, most of them had not gone.
Wheeler has captured Kilpatrick's bat-
tery.
The Charleston Mercury of the 24th sayB
the enomy have forty-two pieces heavy
oWlnance on Morris Island, and are busy
mounting mortars. They have a dozen
mortals at Port Royal and six on the coast.
1*papai ations indicate au attack on Char-
leston. The Savannah Republican of the
25th says; a Urge fleet has assembled at
Port Royal, Tybee and Dabose, prepara-
tory to Sherman's arrival. Gen. Foster
has gone up Broad river with an expedi-
ti n ; he found all the cotton burned.
The rebel force along the river had gone
against Sherman. Cumberland Gap has
been evacuated, the troops going to Knox-
vi lie.
Camden, Dec. 15.—The Yankee General
S uele has been superceded at Little Rock.

Eighteen clergymen were elected to the
Legislature at the recent election in Ver-
mont.
A Boston paper says that a suspicious wo
man being arrested in that city, "nothing

Pierre Soule is at present at the Mexican
capitol.
The Empress of Russia, during her ex-
pected confinement is to be under the care

Tito Richmond correspondent of the
Mobile Newa, says :
Yankee pickets declare that quite a
number of our men have be n killed and
woundyd in tue canal, byt wo ; lace no re-
liance on their siorifcw, and if we did, it
would never do to allow ourselves to be
•i;ui lated by such a vrreich as Butler.
An 1 here let me disabuse your readers of
idea tha' General L^e is .-o full of the
milk of human kindness tint he cann t
be moved tu the pitch of ju<-t indignation.
The truth is, he is a man all over—a
Cjt istj'an man, indeed, who maintains the
mastery of his wrath, but c liable ol' ter-
ble things when once lutly aroused.
Slviul I the time ever come tor him to
show ibe full depth of his mighty natu-
ftl passions towards a barbarous foe, who
can iu no other way be b ought to his
uses, .depend upon it he wiil make not
only the Yankee nation, but the whole
nlightened world tremble. God forbid
at day should ever come, but if it
sh uld, I warn you there wiil be a shook
throughout all Christendom.
It is reported that the blockade runner,
An ie. recently captured by the Federals,
pped $50,000 in gold into the sea,
while being chased, besides a large amount
of Confederate hoods.
The St. Louis Republican, of November
20/ publishes the following dispatch, from
a p iint 25 miles above Fort Smith :
The mission of the Army of the Border
is ended," and to-morrow morning we take
up . he return trail. Alter a atiguingand
xli iusting march, we reached the Arkan
as rtver, following the lrail of "Pap
Price," just in time to see the stragglers
of the tebel outfit disappear in the dim
distance on the south side of the river
After leaving Cane Hill we turned west-
wardly toward Dutchtown, on the border,
and struck down the Sal-e-saw river,
beautiful valley which flanks the western
edge of the Boston Mountaius. Last night
we marched till 12 m., and started again
early this morning. The evidences of
Price's recent presence were frequent. We
passed in the night and this morning a
large numbei of abandoned horses, burnt
wagons, and one small gun. Capt. Hop-
kins, of the l«t Arkansas cavalry, crossed
the river, and had a slight brush withsome
rebel stragglers. By order of Gen. Cur
tis, Capt. McLain, let Colorado battery
fired thirty-four shells over the river into
the pcatteriug, disheartened, weary foe
as a parting salute.
Dau Rice, the circus man, is erecting a
monument to the memory of the soldiers
of Erie county, Pennsylvania.
From the New Orleans Era, of December
8th, we take the following:
A dress parade of bounty-jumpers took
place in Indianapolis last week. Over
hundred of them were lashed two and two
to a long rope, with a 1 ige negro leading
the column and ringing a bell. Each jum
per carried a large placard on his back, as
an advertisement of his profession. Aline
of bayonets on each side kept off tfyj cur-
ious crowd, and their tramping feet kept
time to the notes of the*"Rogue's March,
played by the drums and fifes.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writing about the
seizure of the Florida, says:
Bankers' and merchants' correspond
ence from London and Liverpool by the
Moravia's mails have about as much to say
of^the seizure of the Florida as if the mat
ter was an affair between us and England,
instead of between us and Brazil, and in
this respect they chime in with the bully
ing tone of the leading English press,
is even meanly insinuated that the imme
diate cause of this violation of neutrality
000 offered for the capture of the Florida
by the New York Chamber of Commerce.
The London* Times makes this assertion,
but its ignorance is equal to its mal<ce.
The Chamber of Commerce never offered
any such reward, nor any reward at all.
It was talked of at oue of their meetings,
but never acted upon.
These quasi belligerent letters have been
shown freely in fi oancial and commercial
circles in the course of the day, as with a
view «f creating a panic about complica-
tions with England, war with Brazil, &c..
in order to promote the mercenary ends of
{old gamblers and stock speculators. These
esigns, however, ara not destined to much
success, if the tyct (first stated in this
correspondence) be kept in mind, that a
bearer of despatches to Col. WebA sailed
from this port ten days ago with soeh com-
munications from this Government as it is
believed will be satisfaction in full to the
Court of Brazil.
Henry Ward Beeehfr in his speech at
Butler's deception in New York, snid:
The disasters and disappointments and
feelings almost of despair in August were
God'i Irdp, and the tihieago Convention
fell into it, and pat a peace plank into
their platform."
Upon which the St. Lou s Republican
comments thus:
The idea here expressed is that Goi is a
Captain of Police, who sett' his detectives
to "icork up a case." As Mr. Beecher
speaks by authority—being "divinely
commissioned"—we snpp >se it would be
disloyal or some other kind of "flat bur-
glaiy," to intimate that his utterances
savor of blasphemy or irnvicty.
A Washington Dispatch dated Doc. 1,
says:
The Daily Chronioli\ of this morning
speaking of Major Gon. Bunk's prepara-
tions to shortly leave here for New Orleans
to resume his posi'ion as head of the De-
partment of the Guli, including Louisiana,
Arkansas and Missouri, pays all his civil
policy has met the approval of the Presi-
dent of the United Sta«e«, and he returns
to his popt at the request of the Execu-
tive; aud it is not les* pkasaut to an-
nounce that the kindlVi relations exist
between Gens. Banks and Ctf.nby, in
change of the milita y ope> atiovs in the
Division of V/cst. Mississippi.
Gen. John Pope has io Ci'y Point.

ganized in this district.
Mr. Moffat, of tho Circus. Brighton,
England, has a blue and pink colored mare,

The first visit of oyster vessels to the
Rappahannock river beds since the com-
mencement of the war,was made two weeks
since. As no Confederates were discovered
along the stream, the oyster men are indulg-
ing in anticipation .of a very successful
business season in that region
The coffee bean, concerning the cultiva
tion in New England so much has been
written, is neither more nor less than the
common bean so extensively grown
Great Britain, and used thero exclusively
for feeding horses and cattle.
The St. Louis Republican, in an article
upon the arrest of Lt. Governor Jacobs, of
Kentucky, says:
To the surprise of many thousands of
true men, it was some days since announced
that Lieut. Governor Jacob and Col. Frank
Wolford, of Kentucky, bad been brought
under Government censure to the extent of
being arrested, and in the instance of Gov.
Jacob, being sent beyond our lines into the
enemies country. It is now some relief to
be informed, as we are by the Louisville
Journal, that " President Lincoln has con
sented to the release" of these ill-treated
gentlemen. They both have proved their
Royalty in ways and means and by words
and deeds, infinitely more satisfactory than
are the records of thousands among those
malignant Kentuckians, whoso hatred o
theni has brought on their heads the heavy
hand of power. These noble-hearted gen-
tlemen have fought at the head of Kentucky
volunteer regiments, and have braved death
on many a stubborn battle-lield in defence
of the old flag.
It is supposed that Gov. Jacob's offence
was a letter which l:e addressed to Rev.
Mr. Breckinridge, and which stung by the
truths that lay in its rebukes. Mr. Breck-
inridge, at the last moment, left for a de
cently-pronounced decision was standing on
the line which separated the rebellion from
loyalty to the Union. What a comment it
furnishes, that such a man as that should
have it in his power successfully to perse-
cute such a man as Governor Jacob
Tho Richmond Sontinel of Monday says :
We have nothing additional from Georgia
that would be prudent to publish, while
certain military operations arc taking
place which it is believed will bring Sher-
man up with a short turn.
The same journal also says: A principa
cause of the uneasiness with many citizenl
in connection with the campaign of ths
enemy in Georgia, is apprehension that the
people there will not exhibit spirit and de
votion suitable to the occasion.
The Sentinel lauds Virginia, says she has
never complained or wavered, aud her peo-
ple are cheerful and iiopeful and resolute.—
She has never sought difficulties with the
Confederacy, placed obstructions in the
way of public defence, or sent a solitary
factionist or croaker or peace man to Con-
gress.
Governor Brown, in the government ol
his State, (Georgia) pays little regard to
how he seizes the salt of citizens and dls-
tilleries, without a particle of authority in
law, but merely because ho judges inexpe-
dient. The Confederate authorities, how-
ever, he impedes at every step of their le-
gitimate duty.
He weakens the public by ill-timed and
sails the Confederate Administration at
all points, and dilligently sows seeds of
dissatisfaction and distrust.
As a consequence of suob proceedings,
Georgia is not ready for the work that is
upon her ; instead of that united, cheer-
ful, enthusiastic patriotic feeling which
we might expeot of her people, they are
divided about States rights and peace con-
vention and the like.
Heaven forgive Governor Brown and
Mr. Stephens, and suoh as they, tor the
misohief they hsve done. Heaven put
into their minds to retrieve their steps
even now. Georgia will suffer, we fear,
from the course they have pursued, but
surely they will suspend captious olamor
at least until the present trial is over.
We copy the following from the New Or-
leans Picayune of December 8 :
Brigadier General £. B. Taylor has
transmitted to the Government a btaok flag
captured from Early's command, and ac-
companies the trophy with the following
explanatory note :
Headquarters, First Brigade, \
8th Army Corps, Md., Nov. 9, 18U4. j

Gen. E D. Towusend, Assist Adjutant
Gen., Washington, D. C.
General:—In compliance with the direc-
tions of the Secretary of War, I forward
you the "b'ack flag," cap ured by de-
tective C. H. Marsh, from Gen. Early's
command, Monday night. August 1, 18C4,
while in their lines near North Mountain.
The flag was in charge of two rebelB,
and set up against a tree; cue of the reb-
els went in searoh of water; Marsh, who
had been watching the flag lrom nightfall,
determined to get it if p^ssib e, and
sprung upon the man left alone, secured
him, took the flag from the pole, and
brought the flag and prisoner sifely
through within our hues
I am, General, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, E B. TYLER,
Biig. General.
A New York despatch Nov. 2oth, says:
The llerald'u Washington special says,
it is reported from Ciiy Potnt. ihat two
divisions of Early's array have arrived at
Petersburg.
Viena, Fairfax county, h is heon reoc-
cup.ed by our troops oiferi g protection

The Tribnne says: It is f ared Judge
Catron will be unable to ;ake his se it
this year on account of his rapidly fail-
ing health.
From a Northern paper w • copy the fol-
lowing, headed "a Female Rebel
A curious expose of;rebel trickery has
just come to light in St. Louis. The rebel
Major Enoch O. Wolf was under sentence
of death, as retaliation for tho inhuman
butchery of Major Wilson and other Fedfct
ral soldiers. On tho niglil before~ day
of execution, and before the order of Presi-
dent Lincoln countermanding the sentence
had been received, a lady, calling herself
Mrs. Major Wolf, called on Gen. Rosecrans
and with terrible waitings, tears, assumed
anguish, lamoutations, and applications
begged the life of her husband, Major
Wolf. Something excited Gen. Rosecrans'
suspicions, and she was detained uutil the
following day, when she was brought into
Mtyor Wolf's presence.
The moment she saw her -husband she
threw her arms around his neck, melo-dra-
matically, and exclaimed, "What! don
you know your own dear darling little
wifey 7" But tho undutiful husband couldn't
see it," and starting with surprise, exclaim-
ed gruffly, "Who the hell are you, and what
do you want here?" The pseudo wile
"took on," and cowered down under hor
emotions. While in this attitude she made
several mysterious signs and winks to the
Major, but the lynx-eyes of Capt. Tall on
did not lose a trick, and by a wonderful
coincidence, he and the Major saw that the
Major should play husband. The Major
saw, however, that the game was blocked
by the shrewdness of the officer, so he
drapped"^ into a fit, and cater-wauled
around a little, and the afflicted wife was
conveyed out of the cell for fear her pre-
sence would cause the Major to burst a
blood vessel.
It was observed that Mrs. Wulf(?) speed
ily recovered from her emotions when ta-
ken to the fresh air, but when conveyeu to
the office of the Promost Marshal General,
and her luxurious curls and a quantity ol
mysterious swathings were removed from
her head and face, she grew frantic as a
tigress, and sprang upon Colonel Darr with*
the agility and ferocity of that symmetri-
cal but treacherous animal. Shebiand-
islied a gleaming blade, and laughed with
the very ecstacy of rage. Some one seiz
ed her from behind, aud in a moment the
cold embrace of a pair of "whistlers" held
her powerless, but null gnashing her teeth
with disappointment. She was perfectly
transported with fury, but, womanlike
when the storm dissolved in a shower ol
tear?, she sat passive as a statue. She
was next questioned as to her real name,
when she acknowledged she was not Mrs.
Major Wolf, but Mrs. Ceattie, wife of the
notorious guerilla chief, Buck l.eatue, la-
mous in the Southwest.
She has been coming aud g"ing from
and to the South since iho war commenced,
and has conveyed large sums of gold from
rebel lines for the purpose of carrying on
some of the rebel plans for liberating pris-
oners, burning steamboats or Government
warehouses. Mrs. Beattie is a hipnly in-
telligent woman, not twenty years old,
with light blue eyes and light hair, crop-
ped close to her head.
When arrested she wore a wig with luxu-
riant black curls, which she shook over her
neck and shoulders with a grace perfectly
bewitching to noodleheads. She is the au-
thoress of a book on slavery, called " Wo
man's Fate," and is well known to, and
highly esteemed by, all the rebel Generals
in the Southwest. She is beautifully form-
ed, and has a dash and abandon of manner
well calculated to carry her through.
She stated that she is the daughter of Mm.
Col. Sharp, now in Europe, operating for
the Confederacy; that her name was Miss
Kate Brown; that sho was oducated in one
of the first seminaries in Massachusetts,
but acquired a lovo for the Catholic faith,
and early became a convert. She wears a
rich ebony cross, which she presses to her
lips with fervor, and swears that she will die
rather than reveal her purposo here, or the
name of any of her accomplices. She has
a Treasury permit to purchase and send in-
to the South $6000 worth of goods, and has
purchased large quantities of military goods,
gold lace, gilt buttons, stars, sashes, etc.
Mrs. Beattie is very refractory, although
held in irons at the Gratiot street prison,
and defies the military authorities, hell and
the devil to do, in her own language, "their
d—est!"
The Springfield (Mo.) Patriot of Nov.
20, in au article upon the loss sustained
in Missouri during Price's last raid, says:
We referred last week to the heavy loss-
es of forage by Capt. Owen, District Quar-
termaster, during the late raid. Since
then we have been kindly furnished an
estimate of the destruotisn of bay through
the various adjoining counties. We only
give the amounts of which he has been of-
ficially informed. Besides these, we be-
lieve, some forty or more tons Jiave met
the same fate from the hands of guerrillas
in other parts of the distriot;
70 tons.
105 tons.
98 tons.
4002tons.
140,000 lbs.
•210,000 lbs.
180,000 lbs.
800,000 lbs.
At Carthage,
At Lamar,
At Newtonia,
At Neosho,
Total, 638 tons. 1,336,000 lbs.
The hay at Carthage and Lamar was
abandoned, as we understand, under or-
ders, and afterwards burned by guerillas;
tha' at Newtonia was abandoned by our
troops, possessed and wasted by Prioe, re-
possessed aud promiscuously usod, con-
sumed or wasted, aud is, so far as the
wants of the distriot is concerned, lost.
We believe Gens. Curtis', Pleasonton's,
Blunt.'h, Sanborn's and McNeil's commands
were there during its consumption. The
hay at Neosho, which Lieut. Eokles had
collected, was abandoned, whether under
orders or pressure of overwhelming antag-
onisiic forces, we don't know, but at all
evente, at'ier abandoned was burned. The
hay originnlly oust the Government from
$10 to $12 per ton, but the Captain says
that $5' per ton will not subs'itute or
replace i'. After a summer of liard, in-r
ceasant labor and c instant anxiety, suoh
results muit have a depressing effect upon
any one.
