I,; ii, Hood's Account of his Defeat in
Tennessee.
THE 11EBEL
VERSION OF
VICTORY.
THOMAS’S
\ correspondent of the Montreal Gazette,
> t eh met the rebel General Hood on board a
vmamer coming North from Galveston, gives
t-.e following interesting account of the inter
im with Hood’s version of the defeat of the
:' rebel army in Tennessee :
Appearance of Hood.
As the boat left the land behind, we (the
I ?as»engers) began to look at each other, and
L jiv eves rested upon a man seated on a chair,
i with a crutch beside him, and with his looks
ient upon the sea. This was J. B. Hood, late
jencral of tlte Confederate States army. His
[ fss was a suit of blue flannel, with a black
-,lt hat, ()n his left hand he wore a kid glove,
ind his person was very noat. With no little
.merest 1 went up to him, and looked at his
tfeatures. His face is oval and fair, his eyes
j : ght blue and steady, and his hair brown,
Jwtiile a long, light brown beard falls from his
■'•him In person he is tall and well made, and
I iiis look is quiet, cool and considerate. His
13 is only thirty-four years.
Wliat Hood’s Plan IVas. ..,
| His quiet look led me to speak to him, of
flwhich I was very desirous. I first talked of
if::, boat we were on, and the sea, then referred
■ tiie late war and his campaign in Tennes-
[ e. He said that very little wag known about
p e merits of that campaign, for his report saw
R Jit only at the break-up of the Confederacy.
Hliiv plan was to push into Kentucky and there
j ' increase and supply his army. “If I had
■ eon able to do so,” said the ex-General, “I
I*"eU have had 90,000 men, and, with that
■01 re. could hare met any army set against
Rio It was necessary for him to go on, be
Rii i. for the men were losing spirit by failing;
Hand only some bold effort could reanimate
■them. It was with this view that he strove to
Rill oat the army under General Thomas;
■"uni,'’ said he, “I ought to have had him at
Rpring Hill, but some of my officers failed
■ In acting against the line of supply of our
Rrniy the ex-General sent a force of four tbou-
p.ii i five hundred cavalry to break up the rail-
■ ail. This force found the road covered by a
■me of strong block houses, each with a cistern
Jpide, and a garrison of fifty men. These
ere so safe for a time that, to use his words,
hie cavalry could do nothing with them,”
Aough they took a few by a displav of force,
"iine was necessary tb reduce the block houses
:! that was wanting. The effort made by the
x-General to defeat the farce under General
"mas is described by him as follows—the
iiy of the former having left Florence on the
of November, 1864, to begin the move
nt, General Thomas falling back on the 23d
n Columbia.
Hood’s Account of the Campaign.
The want ol a good map of the country, and
I - deep mud through which the army marched,
|T v ented our overtaking the enemy before, he
■pched Columbia; but on the evening of the
of November our army was placed in posi-
■' ao in tront of bis works at that place. During
■’v night, however, he evacuated the town, tak-
l c position on tbe opposite side of the river,
loom a mile and a half from the town, which
os considered quite streng in front. Late in
‘evening of the 28th of November General
rn st, with most of his command, crossed
oil: River, a few miles above Columbia, and I
owed early on the morning of the 29th, with
ion's and Cheatham's corps, and Johnson’s
; - n ot Lee’s corps, leaving the other divis-
:s of Lee’s corps in the enemy’s front at Co
lne troops moved in light marching order,
’ only a battery to the corps, my object being
llr n the enemy’s flank by marching rapidly
1 mads parallel to the Columbia and Franklin
v at or near Spring Hill, and to cut off that
'"on of the enemy at or near Columbia. When
- al g.itten well on his flank, the enemy dis-
tr«d mv intention, and began to retreat on
• pike toward Spring Hill. The cavalry be-
engaged near that place about midday, but
' 'rains were so strongly guarded that they
I't'e unable to break through them. About 4 a.
'f- our infantry forces, Major General Cheatham

■'ie enemy, about two miles from Spring Hill,
• r ‘ J uglj which place the Columbia and Franklin
"e runs.
The enemy was at this time moving rapidly
1 the pike, with some of his troops formed
'h- flank of his column to protect it. Major
^ceral Cheatham was ordered to attack the
■Jiny at once, vigorously, and get possession of
p ' p ke ; and although these orders were fre-
[iiently and earnestly repeated, he made but a
i-ble and partial attack, failing to reach the

heavy line of skirmisher* against him and still
further impede and confuse his march. ThiB was
not accomplished.
“ The enemy continued to move along the
road in hurrv and confusion, within hearing,
nearly all the night. Thns wus lost a great
opportunity of striking the enemy, for which
we had labored so long, the greatest this cam
paign had offered, and one of the greatest
during the war. Lieut. Gen. Lee,left in frontof
the enemy at Columbia, was instructed to press
the enemy the moment he abandoned his posi
tion at that point. The enemy did not aban
don his works at that place till dark, showing
that his trains obstructed the road for fifteen
miles during the day, and a great part of the
night. At daylight we followed as fast as pos
sible toward Franklin, Lieut. General Stuart
in the advance, Mrjor General Cheatham fol
lowing, and Lieut. Gen. Lee with the trains,
moviDg from Columbia on the same road. We
pursued the enemy rapidly, and compelled him
to burn a number of his wagons. He made a
feint as if to give battle on the hills about four
miles south of Franklin, but as soon as our
forces began to deploy for the attack, and to
flank him on his left, he retired slowly to
Franklin.
“ I learned from despatches captured at
Spring Hill, from Thomas to Schofield, that
the latter was instructed to hold that place till
the position at Franklin could be made secure,
indicating the intention of Thomas to hold
Franklin and his strong works at Murfrees
boro’. Thus I knew that it was all important
to attack Schofield before he could make him
self strong, and if he should escape at Franklin
he would gain his works about Nashville. The
nature of the position was such as to render it
inexpedient to attempt any further flank
movement, and I therefore determined to at
tack him in front, and without delay.
‘i On the 30th of November Stuart’s eorps
was placed in position on the right, Cheatham’s
on the left, and the cavalry on either flank,
the main body on the right under Forrest.
Johnson’s division of Lee’s corps also became
engaged on the left during the engagement.
The line advanced at 4 p. m., with orders to
drive the enemy at the point of the bayonet
into or across the Big Harpeth river, while
General Forrest, if successful, was to cross the
river and destroy his trains and broken col
umns. The troops moved forward most gal
lantly to the attack. We carried the enemy’s
line of hastily constructed works handsomely
“We then advanced against his interior line,
and succeeded in carrying it also, in some
places. Here the engagement was of the
fiercest possible character. Our men possessed
themselves of the exterior of the works, ^hile
the enemy held the interior. Many of onr men
were killed entirely inside the works. The
brave men captured were taken inside his works
in the edge of the town. The struggle lasted
till near midnight, when the enemy abandoned
his works and crossed the river, leaving his
dead and womided in our possession. Never
did troops fight more gallantly. The works of
the enemy were so hastily constructed that,
while he had a slight abbatis in front of a part
of his line, there was none on his extreme
right. During the day I was restrained from
using my artillery on account of the woman and
children remaining in the town. At night it
was massed, ready to continue the action in the
morning, but the enemy retired. We captured
about a thousand prisoners, and several stand
of colors.
“Our total loss in killed, wounded and pris
oners was four thousand five hundred. Among
the killed were Msjor General P. R. Cleburne,
Brigadier Generals Gist, John Adams, Strahl
and Granbury. Major General Brown, Brig.
Generals Carter, Manigault, Quarles, Cock
rell and Scott were wounded, and Brigadier
General Gordon captured. The number of
dead left by the enemy on the field indicated
that his loss was equal or near our own. The
next morning at daylight, the wounded being
cared for and the dead buried, we moved for
ward toward Nashville, Forrest, with his cav
alry, pursuing the enemy vigorously.”
A Forthcoming Book.
The correspondent adds:
“Such is an account of his famous, effort in his
own words. In his short but very interesting
talk with me. General Hood gavftjne the impres
sion that he is a man of high ccflbage and reflec
tion. He thinks over every word he speaks aa
he did over every move he made when a promi
nent actor in the late great war. He told me
that he intends to write some account of the ope
rations in the form ot his memoirs. The book
will be one of interest.
‘ I was pleased to hear this brave man say
that on the downfall of the Confederacy he ad
vised all those with whom he had influence, to
quietly accept the new order of things. Among
other things he said that an army of sixty or sev
enty thousand men was a fine thiog.and that they
{the Confederates) never had more in any fight.
In a quiet bnrst of feeling be said it was ‘the
most glorious thing he could think of to be in ac
tion,’ and this he thinks, though be is now maim
ed lor life. f
“I may slate a humorous [thing said by him
about cavalry. I asked him if a square in two
ranks was fit to meet a charge and be sSid it was
not fit to meet a charge of good cavalry, adding,
with a light laugh, ‘If the men would only cat
their reins, the horses would charge over the line
of bayonets,’ at which I said that would be a
charge with loosened reins. The home ol the ex-
General is San Antonio, Texas, and he is on his
way to New Orleans to learn how his case is to
be disposed of.”

Tbe Louisiana. Cotton Tronble Settled
[From the N. O. True Delta, Nov. 9.]
During the progress of the war, the Confed
erate Government became indebted to Louisi
ana in the sum of something near four millions
of dollars. To liquidate this, a large quantity
of cotton, equaling in value the full amount of
the debt,,was regularly transferred to Gov.
Henry W. Allen, as representative of the State.
Upon the surrender of the trans-Mississippi
Department by Gen. Kirby Smith, the Treas
ury Agents flocked, through the country and
seized and confiscated cotton in a very promis
cuous and unanthorized manner, and, in fact,
conducted business so loosely that what may
be called a “general grab game” followed.
Much of the State cotton was stolen, and
more scattered so that to find and identify it
will be almost impossible, and when Governor
Wells, in order to prevent this serious loss, ap
pointed agents to seize what could be found,
and ship it to New Orleans for proper disposal,
the military and treasury officers interfered, and
stopped his instructions from beiDg carried
ont. Notwithstanding the delay thus caused,
it was confidently believed that large and valu
able lots of this State cotton would be recovered,
and, therefore, (he whole facts in the case were
officially laid before President Johnson. The
latter has ordered, after full investigation, that
every bale of the cotton which can be found
must be shipped to New Orleans, here to're
main uDtil final disposition is made by an order
from the Secretary of the Treasury, or the
U. S. Court decides whether it is the property
of the National or State Governments.
Little doubt is entertained but the decision,
no _niaiter from which of the two sources it
emanates, will be favorable to Louisiana,which
must prove one of the most fortunate events
imaginable. From the sale of this staple a sum
would be derived sufficient to pay off all press
ing debts against the Commonwealth, permit
the authorities to put in proper order and give
proper support to our great State charitable in
stitutions, allow necessary internal improve
ments to be made, and the Government to be
carried on in a liberal scale.
Tbe Appeal l'resa—Its Jouruerings.
The press upon which this number of the Ap
peal is printed, and which will, we trust yet issue
many thousands to be scattered broadcast
throughout the Mississippi Valley, is the identi
cal press which left here in 1862, a little while
before the occupation of Memphis by the Federal
troops. It is the same press from whioh was is
sued the Appeal at Grenada, and which retired
from that town as the Federal cavalry were ap
proaching the north bank of the Tallahatchie,
after Grant had driven Pemberton from Abbey-
Tille. It is the same press with the same press
man—(Andy Harman, may his days be loug, and
his shadow never gross less!)—that was shelled
ont of Jackson, when Grant made bis famous
movefiom Bruinsburg, by which he isolated Pem
berton and shat him up in Vicksburg, to be bag
ged thereafter on the Fourth of July. At first the
shells had the best of it, a number of them inter*
oepting the line of march over Pearl river; but
Aody Harman and the faithful old press, from
whioh had just beon printed that morning's
Appeal, won the race in the end. While “old
Joe” Johnston was bothering the Federal advance,
our press made its clean escape dowo the South-
era railroad to Meridian, and so on to Atlanta, at
its leisure. It is the same press which vibrated to
the thnDder shock of the seige of Atlanta, retiring
therefrom but a little while before Sherman’s
victorious legions entered that ill-fated city.
It is the same press from whence, at Mont
gomery, the Appeal continued to cheer and en-
oonrage those whose quarrel it had espoused, to
’quit themselves like men, until the advance of
that dashing fellow, Major General Wilson, with
his nine thousand Spencer rifles, in tbe hands
of picked mon, who knew how to ride and to fight,
admonished ns of the polioy of evacuating the
‘oradle of the rebellion ” And so the same veter
an campaigner of the press corps took to itself
wheels and steam, and sought refuge east of the
Chattahoochee.
The bulk of the office was stopped at Colum
bus, and was there destroyed by order of Major
General Wilson, but the press having been for
warded to Macon, was saved from destruction by
deposit in a safe place, and was. not discovered
until after the armistice and the promulgation of
orders from Geo. Sherman to stop the destruction
of either public or private property. It has had
many a narrow escape, but is hale and hearty,
and capable of doing yeoman’s service, as the
appearance of our paper will testify.—Memphis

Plundebixg OrKKATioss on a Hbaw Scalb.
For some tim», trunks, boxes and valuable par-
eels hare been missed from the trains and the
freight depot of the Southwestern Road which led
to the belief that a systematic plan of robbery
was : eing carried on by seme of tbo employes of
the road, and the matter, placed in the hands
of cfficors Hawkins and'Rje for investigation.—
With p itiecce and perseverance theaa officers
have worked np the plot and discovered the
thieves and their pleader. On Friday night
week a trunk was stolen from the train due here
on that evening, and getting on the trail, while
the scent was yet warm, the officers succeeded in
arresting three men connected with the South
western Road, and tracing the trunk to a house
on Cotton Avenue, where not only the trunk was
found, but avast amount of plunder of every de
scription oaptured, sufficient to fill one of the lar
gest express wagons. The names of tho three
men arrested are Jaok Mize, Bill Scott and
Jordan, and they occupied the positions of run
ner, watchman and switchman on tbe road.
Too much credit cannot be given to the offi
cers for the energy and adroitness in which they
have sifted this manner, and in bringing tbe
many robberies committed in the past two or
three months on this road, home to the parties
arrested, and we are sure they will receive the
hearty commendation of a'l good citizens.

Outrage.—At an early hour on Monday
morning last, Mr. "Smith, proprietor of a pro
vision store on Cotton Avenue, was attacked
by a party of negroes while passing through
“Sandy Bottom,” on his way to market, and
severely injured. We have not been able to
learn whether any of his property was stolen.
The ruffians escaped Without being interrupt
ed, except by their own fears. Mr. S.’«
wounds were of a serious nature.—Ibid.
Bully Boys—A Woman Knocked Down and
Robbed.—On last Sunday evening a woman
was met on Peachtree street by Capt. Daniel

Dillon, citizen, and Enoch Falin, citizen, and
knocked down and robbed of $20 in gold, $20
in greenbacks and some $8 or $10 in small
change. The city police soon got upon track
of those worthies, and overhauled them.—
Upon evidence elicited before the Mayor, the
redoubtable Captain was consigned to jail,
Dillon gave bond for his appearance, and Fa
lin was dismissed.—Atlanta New Era, 29t/i ult m
Small Pox.—Two deaths bare occurred at
the pest-house since our last issue, and sever

“freedmen” and sent to the pest-house this
week. As great care is taken to prevent the
spread of the disease, those having business
here need not hesitate to come.

Small Pox.—We learn that wild reports are
circulating in the country abont the prevalence
of small pox in Macon. We do not think
there are half a dozen cases in town. All are
removed to tbe pest houses, and we are in
formed very few new cases are occurring.—
Nineteen-twentieths of those which have oc
curred are negroes. There is no more small
pox in Macon proportionately lhan may be
found everywhere else throughout the South
ern towns.—Macon Journal Messenger, 28th.

the Night of October 5th, 1865.
The ponderosity of this theme is adequately
manifest from the circumlocuiionsss of its
multitudinous ramifications. The dormant
faculty of my imagination is so strikingly over
whelmed with even a slight conception of its
magnitudinonsly multiform extensibility, that
I am profonndantly incarcerated in tfte fathom
less caverns ot cogitation.
But, to supervene the unimperiousness of
eleborately elongated introductory, let the
mastodonic subject be marshalled at once upon
the platform of investigation.
The quiddity of quintessence of raccoons is
not irresistibly cognizable from the preceding
observations; but it is unfeignedly desired that
the intelligently intellectual sons and daughters
of Gandalupe county, now assembled, may be
perceptibly illuminated by subsequent elucida
tory investigations.
The leviathan of cogibunditv circulates in
vain through the ocean of oblivialing transpi
rations fruitlessly essaying to perpetuate an
adequate estimation of the peregrinations and.
circumamtrulations of the ineffably multiplied
progeny of the traces of coons that Mr. Noah
had in that far-famed ship, known in common
parlance as “the Ark.” The mysterious and
urfexplainable revolutions and permutations
that have in ages past characterized the coon in
robbing hen roosts and corn fields, persimmon
trees and oyster beds, may no more be rendered
apprehensible to the faculty of perception, than
the Puritan ceremonies were comprehended by
the vulgar, or Sybils pages intelligible ‘ to the
uninstructed.
This magnificent rotary globular projection
has unremittingly progressed in its annular and
diurnal circumlocutions, unmindful of the singu
larity nqfable or basely insignificant transpira
tions on the expansive rotundity of its terres
trial and aqnatic convexity; nor have theln-
qnisitive quidnuncs of coagulated ages, opera
ting in individual capacity or conglomerated in
conclave, evolved to Uie ken of intelligence a
satisfactory analysis of sublunary circumstances
bearing directly npon the coon.
So that to this eventful period the racoons
remain a matter of inquisitional disquisition,
affording the devotee of natural history illimi- .
table territory of operations, yet testifyibg
tbe incomprehensibility of his essential attri- j
hates.
Hoping that this offering on the'altar of 1

The North Caralina Election—A Left-
handed Apology.
The New hern Times, of Wednesday, has tbe
following on the result of the late elections in
North Carolina :
We are deeply mortified to see the turn that
things are taking in the South, but we feel
that our skins are clear, come wbat may. As
sentinels upon tbe watch tower of public interest,
we have not failed to sound tbe alarm, even when
we knew the measures we advocated were dis
tasteful to a large majority of our neighbors and
patrons. If the ship of civil government abont
to be launched in this, and other Southern
Slates, is now to be again stranded to the beach
tor her planks to rot and her irons to rust, it is
notour fault. We /eared such would be the case,
and earnestly and nonestly pleaded that it might
be otherwise. Bnt the people vaoptd not heed ;
they seemed not to understand the true situa
tion. , . .
There was a time when "we could vote for
whom we pleased and no official functionary or
tribunal on earth had a right to question our acts
or motives; but that time has passed. This is a
solemn fact which the people of the South, it
seems, cannot comprehend. They seem to be
blind to the fact lhat'we are a conquered people,
aud only capable of acting as we are permitted
by the power which is for the time being our
master and dictator. They seem to have mis
taken tbe loose rein and easy bit with whioh tbe
President has been bolding us for a number
ot months past for the independence and State
sovereignty we used to enjoy;' and not liking
very well soaie of the resmts'of the rebellion,
have endeavored to assume the reins of self-con
trol before they wore ready.
We tried to conquer tbe United States Gov
ernment, bat failed. Had w* succeeded, we
could have done as we pleased, but having tailed,
we cannot, and must do as we can. This may be,
and of course is, a humiliating condition to be in.
But we submit to all fair-minded, candid men to
sav whether it wonld not bare bean better and
less humiliating in the end to have followed
quietly and gooduatnredly the dictations of onr
