{Spsclal Despatch to The Star. ]
Nashville, Tknn., Dec. 1, 19G4, 7 p m.?
Attack at Franklin last night was a severe I
battle, the enemy acting with all his forces, and
auflenng heavily in killed, wounded anil
prisoners. Of the latter 1,000 have been brought
in, and the the former is estimated at not less
than 3,000; while our entire list of casualties
will aot reach 1,000. Alter caring for our part
fell back, leaving Franklin at 3 a ra . and
now conf.ont Hood from the fortifications of
Nashville. Gen. Steadman has arrived with
part of his troops. Out cavalry, under Wilson
Forrest a good tight on the Hillsboro

INTERESTING FROM LATE RICH.
MOM) PAPERS.
They Admit that Sherman may "Reach
the Sea in Safety"?The Importance of
Augusta and Maron C onfessed?Jelf Davis
Abused lor Sending Hood to '-a Remote
torner of Tennessee" Leaving the Road
? lenr for Sherman?The Rebel* Fear that
ftherman Aims to Rexh Beaufort with
the idea of Operating upon Char lestoa
and Savannah nnd Joining Grant.
The extracts we give below from late Rich'
ynocd papers are interesting as showing that
the rebels at Richmond are by no meanssosaa
guine of hindering Shermau in his progress
?n rough Georgia, as the organs of Jeff Davis
Vrouid ha>e them believe.
The Klcbmond Examiner of Nov. 2fcth, says:
" He may reach the sea in i-afety, and by so
doing inflict disappointment on the country
and disgrace on the official persons who should
bave rendered his escape impossible In thatdW
lection, or in any direction, after he burned
Atlanta and '-hunted the railroad." But let us
suppose the worst. I^et us suppose that he |
takea one or the other of tnose towus. He will
Inflict some loss on the citizens and some on the
government; but he cannot stay there, as he
could have stayed at Atlanta, for he would
fcave no supply or communication. Still lees
will be be able to leave a garrison; tor that
"would be delivering the men who should com
pose it prisoners into our hands. He can do
absolutely nothing after destroying a certain
lumber of buildings but coatin ue his march to
the coast.
If he should reach the coast what would be
the censequeuco! The country from Chatta
nooga to Savannal would be then clear of all
enemy, and.-except the moral etlect, and the
blunders which panics never fail to breed, we
profess ourselves unable to see the mighty re
sults which will hare been obtained. If the
Jear of this fl> ing column, and the political in
iluence* which the onnrtu* of a population not
hardened by the contact of war may bring to
bear on military councils, should cause the
Confederate generals to disorganize their ar
jnies and abandon their plans, its effects will
Indeed be great and disastrous to us. Rut if
so such panic is created and no such blunders
Are made?if no tine is lost in locking the doors
cf stables, from which the steeds were an
stolen when Johnston was taken away trom
bis army, and Davis, under the name of Hood,
assumed comrrand of it?this march?wespeak
cf the progress through the land alode?will
ka\e no more real significance in the history of
the war than the feats of tightrope walkers on
th* destinies of empires
That one part of Sherman's design was ths
production of this moral effect?to rejoice the
sovereign mob ol the United States, and to
frighten into fits all the fools in the Confeder
acy?is highly probable. But a separation of
the Confederacy never was a part of bis de
sign, because that was plainly Impossible.
IJeyocd the moral effects, be had undoubtedly
A great aim Tneoxtraordlnary disappearance
the only ar?y opposed to him in front of
Atlanta, and its disposition In a remote sorner
of TtDieaoHi left him nothing to do In the In
terior of the country, except perhaps to occnpy
It and garrison towns. This he was in no con
dition to attempt, for his army was diminished
to half its number after the fall of Atlanta It
was organized for three yean in 1361, and the
enlistment of most regiments expired in June,
lie kept them together for seme time by the
promise that they would be sent home as soan
as the town was taken.
When the Jonesboro' movement proved a
Federal success?a disgrace to our arms not
less indelible than Missionary Ridge?he kept
his promise, and his army was reduced to
what it is now. It was insufficient to garrison
and occnpy a wide extent oi country; but it
? might beused against Charleston or Savannah,
or at least it might be employed, after a junc
tion with Grant, against Richmond. Now, the
nearest way to Richmond, to Charleston or
Savanr.ah la precisely the road he has taken.
By a direct march to Reanfort he reaches the
fleet, whfch can land him. without obstacle or
danger, cn the bank of the James. In any
event, work tor his army conld only be found
by directing his steps to the sea. His blows
are not aimed at inland % illages, nor is the ob
ject of his march the separation of the Confed
eracy. or ol those railroads w hich unite more
rapidly than he can cut the m.
The Importance of Macon and Augusta
Urged? By Taking l?ither Sherman will
Accomplish Great Things.
From the Richmond Kxaminer. Nov. *26.]
The news from Georgia, now the most in
teresting oi all. is exceedingly meagre and un
trustworthy. Rut no doubt cau now be en
tertained of Sherman's design or his destina
tion When Davis sent, and Hood took, the
only army apparent in the country oft" his
shoulders and carried it through the moun
tains to stick in the mud between Tuscumbia
ar.d Florence, Sherman determined to make an
attempt on the linesot communication between
Virginia, the Carolinians and the rest of the
Conlederate States, his work in Northern
Georgia was done, and for ulterior operations
any point on the seacoast would be abetter
base than Chattanooga. He risked much in
appearance, but perhaps little in reality, by
destroj ing his communications. A marching
army can transport ammunition for at least
time pitched battles, and for supplies this
of the year he might partly relvon the country
wnich he proposed to pass. If he ceuld take
IVlacon or Augusta by the way, he would ac
complish great things: but the destruction of
those towns are net his main object. His de
sign was to destroy the railroads, as far as he
could, which ran irom Southern and Western
Georgia to Virginia and the Uarolinas, and to
rest his army at Reaufort and Port Royal.
That he would go to that point rather
than Savannah is nearly certain for
11 he directed his conrse to Savannah or
Cl arlston, he would find fortified and well
defended cities, and bis troops, exhausted by
a long march, both in strength and ammuni
tion, would be wholly unfit to reduce either
place. Rut the enemy already has possession
of Reatilort. He would have no fighting to do
there, and he wonld find transports laden with
every species ol supply awaiting his arrival.
It is, therefore, reasonable to believe that Reau
fort is the point of destination, and that if he
fails at Augusta he will make bis way thither
as fast as the Confederate troops permit him.
If the reader will glance at the map, he will
perceive that when Sherman has passed from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, and thence to lJpau
lort. he will have severed every railroad be
tween Georgia and Virginia. This severance
will be easily tepaired; but if be can establish
himself permanently at Beautort, be may be
able to operate against those roads repeatedly.
Furthermore, Beaufort lies between Charleston
and Savannah, and can be conveniently used
as the base of land operations against either
cit3*. It Is evidently highly important that
Sherman should never take Augusta or Macon,
and should never reach Beaufort.

RICHMOND DATES OF TUESDAY.
Rebel Accounts of Sherman's Movement*
?He impenetrating the Very Heart ?(
the Confederacy ?Sherman Hushing Like
a Steam Engine?Hood's Army Switeheri
off on a Side Track.
By the subjoined extracts from Richmond
i papers of Tuesday it will be seen that while
some cf them claim that Sherman is "tloucder
| jng" in central Georgia other* admit that he is
| "rushing like a steam engine along the rail
eoads of Georgia penetrating the very heart of
i the Confederacy."
From Georgia.
{From the Richmond Whig, Nov. 20.]
The Augusta Sentinel of the 22d, states that
intelligence reached Augusta the evening be.
lore, by the passenger train on the Georgia
i Railroad, that our authorities had burned the
bridge over the Oconee River, and that the
j Yankee column, moving down the road, had
' diverged lrom it. and was hastening to join the
main body.
It is slated that the Yankees had a larg;?
1 wagon train with them, which was divided
after leaving the Georgia road in order to
i sweep all supplies from the section within
reach of the two routes taken. Sc outs report
them five brigades strong.
LATER.
We received late last night, a copy of the
Augusta Constitutionalist of the 20th which
states that Gen. Wayne has whipped Kilpat
rick's cavalry division at Oconee Bridge,
driving them headlong and In confusion. He
telegraphs that he Is perlectly able to take care
of himself.
Wheeler, with many thousand men, has in
tercepted the enemy at a point at present un
mentionable, and is giving them no rest night
or day.
The main bedy of the enemy is moving down
the western side of the Oconee, and has shown
no disposition thus tar to attempt its passage.
The Constitutionalist adds that 300 prisoners
arrived last evening from up the Georgia Road,
and 100 more are to arrive to-day. These pris
oners report that a division of 3,000 of our cav
alry has followed them ail the way, dashing
npun them constantly, picking up stragglers
and capturing wagons.
[From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 2<J.]
A letter was received in Columbus on Sat
urday from Palmetto, a point on the West Poiut
and La (Grange railroad, stating that Kilpat
rick, with 5,0<Ki Yankees, was advancing down
the country on ihe Alabama side of the Chat
tahoochee. burning aud destro>ing every
thing.
[From the Richmond Enquirer,Nov. 29.]
Sherman may get through to the seacoast and
embark for Grant's army, but as for doing the
Confederate cause any serious injury, there is
now no danger whatever.
But without sustaining any physical injury
!rom Sherman's successful march to the coast,
our cause cannot escape a great moral defeat
by a triumphant raid through the heart of the
Confederacy. While Hood's army is switched
olTon a tide track, at Tu-cumbia, Sherman is
rushing like a steam engine along the railroads
of Georgia, penetrating the very heart of the
Confederacy.
The following is from the Richmond Sentinel,
(Jeff" Davis's organ,> of the 29th, and evidently
tries to put a good face on the Confederate con
dition of affairs in Georgia
"The fact that Sherman has been baftled thus
far in his attempts to penetrate Georgia has
been well known in this city for several days,
and further reticence on that score is unneces
sary. He is floundering about now between
the rapidly concentrating maneuvers of the
State troops and such portions of the regular
army as were not otherwise more advan
tageously employed, It having been deemed
imprudent and perhaps unnecessary to draw
oit troops from any of our frontier armies. In
te ligence from Augns'a on the 26th instant
stipes that th? Macon train arrived on ihe pre
vious night at. the usual time, and the rumor
n >at that the Central road had been cut was
v 5 incorrect.*'

Till CASE OF WM, T. 8MITHS0N.
We copied yesterday a paragraph from an
Albany paper announcing the pardon by the
President of Wm.T. Smithson, of this city,

pardon is a conditional one, dependent upon
the prisoner's record hereafter.

in the Washington correspondent of the New

It only a waits the sanction of the Geueral-in
Chief, who will be here to-morrow, before ac
tive operations are commenced. It is not gen
erally known, even among well-informed
military men, that the beleagured capital of
rebellion is within gunshot range of our bat
teries; but 6uch is nevertheless the fact. Guns
are now on their way here that will throw
shells into Richmond from our batteries in
front ot the eighteenth Corps, a distance of sev
en miles. With these gun" in position, and the
projectiles prepared which it is intended to use
with them, our gunners can destroy Richmond
in forty-eight hours. The ball or shell now in
use would not, of course, answer the purpose,
although that would doubtless accomplish the
object in course of time. A particular kind of
shell has been prepared, and in this really con
sists the main feature of the proposed plan."
Scarcity op Labor.?There Is great com
plaint of a scarcity of servants in the families
of Salisbury and vicinity, since the slaves
were released from service. This difficulty, it
fe hoped, will soon be obviated by a better un

[Despatch to the Pbila. Irquirer.'
NaphviLLK. Pec. 1.?The great battle at
Franklin, fought on Wednesday, began by
preliminary encounters at positions in advance
cf that position three previous days. Our
army fell back, during that period, severely
pressed by Cheatham's and Stuart's corps, and
took a position in improvised works in front
cf the town of Franklin
\ Skirmishing began about noon, and at four
p m. developed into the full proportions of a
battle.
For two honrs subsequent to that time the
coritest raped with most desperate iury.
The enemy's attack was directed chiefly
against our "center, and aimed to pierce that
portion ol our line. In this destsrn he was uu
happily so far successful that the left center,
tinder command of General Wagner, gave way.
This lor a time created great confusion, but
alter some eflort the troops were rallied, and
the integrity of the line of battle restored. This
being accomplished, a vigorous counter charge
on the enemy was made, and the rebel front
was forced back in confusion. We captured
live hundred prisoners and a rebel division
commander, General Gordon.
While this advance was being made on our
part, the enemy attempted a counter maneuver,
with the view of turning onr right Hank. In
this design lie failed, ai-d the tactical victory
remained with the Uaion army. The hrunt of
the battle fell upon our right and center, and
was only closed by the mantle of night falling
upon the combatants.
Hood commanded in person, and the assaults
were marked by his characteristic impetuosity.
After dark-^ -no.ie persistent etl'orts to drive
tt? IHlon "ar?,iy across Harpeth river, but our
raen stood their ground, and held the works
until two this morning, when the whole army
was transferred across the river and Franklin
evacuated, the enemy making demonstrations
on our rear with their cavalry. Our loss in
killed and wonnded is about one thousand, but
of the enemy must reach at least five times
that number, the disparity being due to the
fact that our troops fonght under cover of
breastworks. The experience of to-dav's bat
tie demonstrates, that Hood has with him a very
formidable army, and he brought into play not
less than fifty pieces of artillery. Onr whole
army is now concentrated in Nashville, the
strategic point which forms the object of the
next attack by Hood, and which is hourly ex
pected. Onr wounded have all been lodged in
hospitals in this city, and our dead were prop
erly cared for during the night.
While, as previously reported, all present
indications go to show that Hood will lavish
his most energetic efforts in an attempt to cap
ture this point, yet if he concludes it impru
dent to risk the attempt, his object will proba
bly be to turn his line of advance towards
Knoxville, where he would be in position
eitb^t to make further advances via Cumber
land Gap, or, if necessary, to effect a junction
wnf Lte, via Lynchburg.
It is not contraband forme to add, for the
ei ? ouragenrentoftheconntry, that the defenses
ot N.-ohville are the result of two years' labor
and engineering skill, and he wili flnd an at
tempt at its capture a much more difficulttask
thai ' e had t>eforehim at Franklin. I firmlv
