If the Court shontd decide that the Chief had

to see that such act are entitled to lie treated or

them as crimes of murder and robbery, .m.i. r :

most monstrous and revolting crimes might be

Like the march of Brag: into Kentucky,

tlie mure into Tennessee, also undertaken for
the purpo-e of withdrawing Sherman from

hern brilliant, but it was useless : and the j
affair of Nashville seems to have Ut'n the j
battle ol Winchester over again. A minera-
ble brigade of Yankee cavalry turns the flank
of our army, and our intrenehments are
altand.med and tbe army i iu retreat. There
is reason to 1-elteve that Forrest was absent

thus deprived of tbe most etficient art of his

"It is a proud vindication of the wisdom and

method pursued in this State for raising the mi

A Washington despatch says ;
The escape of Hardee and his army was not
unexpected by tbe government, tor General
Sherrovn's first dispatches from Sxvannah indi
cated that he could not invest the city as to pre
vent it, as tbe river was so full of obstructions
that Gen. Foster could not get up to it with his
gunboats. General Sherman's lines was at least
twsnty-tlvc miles long, and to have covered the
road by which the enemy escaped would have
required a further extension of not less than
fifteen miles, which was cot practicable with bis
fcrce.
