H iB HISTORY. 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.

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.

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 - ‘tt mdicated.

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.” An “Easa” on “De(|».” WASHINGT8N, AogUSt 1S85.

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 Appeal. Georgia Items. 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.

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 science may he approbated by this meritorious audience, the laborious author must here per petrate 'a termination—by assuring this intelli gent crowd that “Her bright smile haunts me still!

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 conquerors, than to have foolishly placed our selves in a position of antagonism by eleoting men to high offiass who were known not to be-in favor with the Federal Government. - Bice Plufatiau wader Cultivation.
