irHEK PiKST PAGE.-W
Account of the Battle of Sfnrfreeiboro’.
It if known to the country that eoon after the
visit of the President and General Joseph E.
Johnston to Gen. Bragg’s Headquarters at Mur*
freesboro’, a considerable body of our army
•here was withdrawn and sent elsewhere. Upon
this fact becoming known at the Headquarters
of Roscncranz, he, it seems, was of opinion that
the greater portion of Bragg’s army had gone
to the defense of Jackson and Vicksburg, and
that it was a favorable opportunity to make an
attack upon and take Murireesboro’.
Accordingly bis army commenced its advance
<*er ten days ago. On last Sunday was a week
ago, skirmishing with our cavalry commenced,
which was continued on Monday and Tuesday;
and on the evening of the latter day—Tuesday
—a demand for tho surrender ot Murfrcesb-' ro’
was sent in, and no doubt a compliance with the
demand was confidently expected.. Early on
Wednesday morning, however, instead of a sur*.
render, a most vigorous attack was made upon
Ihc Yankees without waiting for them to attack
u*. The Yankee force outnumbered ourt fully
three to one, and the field was an open level one,
with the exception of one small elevation on our
right, which the Yankees occupied with a bat
iCry of twenty parrot guna. This is the battery
which we failed to take in Wednesday’s fight.
But notwithstanding the ground offered no ad*,
vantages to us, and the Yankee force so greatly
outnumbered ours, yet the attack of our troops
w as so vigorous, and was maintained with such
determined bravery that the Yankees were
driven before them gradually all day on our left
and at nighf tho lines of battle were at right
angles id the positions occupied in the morning.
The Yankees held the hill with the 20-gun
battery, but their whole line bad been driven
round, and our forces had pressed upon them as
they retreated till they faced each other north
and south, instead of east and west, os in the
morning.
In this day’s fight which was one of the most
determined obstinacy on both sides, the loss
was very great. Such slaughter has not been
witnessed on any field in this war, or in any
other war in America. The heroic valor dis*
played, and the mighty deeds performed by our
troops on that day arc unheard of. While scores
and hundreds were failing on every hand they
pressed on, undaunted and unfaltering, forcing
their way over heaps ot dead and wounded, and
capturing prisoners, cannon, small arms, am-
munition and stores in such great numbers and
quantities as rarely ever took place before on a
hattle field.
Thus they atood at night: our troops occupy
ing the whole ground held hy the Yankees in
the morning, exeept that one battery on our
right—their left—which wo had been unable to
dislodge. During the night plans were arranged
for taking the battery, but when, morning came
it was gone. They had pulled up stakes and
decamped in the night, leaving us complete mass
ters of tho whole field.
On Thursday there was but little fighting-
some cavalry skirmishing, but nothing like an
engagement. News was brought to Gen. Bragg
that the Yankees wero retreating back to Nash
ville, and were considerably demoralized. He
was, however, in uo condition to pursue them
even if this had been so. It seems, however,
that the enemy was only reorganizing, and
gathering reinforcements for a more powerful
attack. Just at this point it seems to us was a
good timo to have withdrawn, while ail the
wounded and all the captured property and pris
oners could have been brought off in safety and
at leisure.
This opinion, however, may be erroneous,
and tho wisdom of such a policy might not'
then have been apparent. We, therefore, for
bear to say anything farther on this point for
the present. One thing however, wo feel.con-
- strained to notice. Onr men were kept cn the
field in a cold rain, standing in tho mud by
their arms, annoyed by the enemy throwing
shells occasionally into their camp—thus suf
fering with wet, oold, hunger and want of
sleep. This throwing of shells was an indi
cation that they intended a further attaok on
us ; accordingly on Friday a strong force of
the enemy crossed over Stone's Rive? (which
runs jnst beyond Mnrfreesborough) to the
right of our forces—to the right of whore the
battle of Wednesday was fought—and were
thus on the flank of the town to the East.—
General Breckinridge’s Division was sent to
repnlso them ; and though greatly inferior in
numbers the attack was made with the same
vigor and impetnosity as on Wednesday, bear
ing down all opposition and foroingback the
Yankees across the river again with fearful
slaughter. Car victorious men in their ardor
and the flush of victory did not stop at the xiv-
er, but wading tho stream, continued the pur
suit of the fugitives. But they had no sooner
reached the opposite shore, than a great army,
against whose overwhelming numbers they
could not contend, rosenp from tbeir ambueh
and confronted onr men with a terrible fire.
They were compelled to wade back across the
river under this fire, in which their loss was
considerable, though they returned in perfect
order and the Yankees made no attempt to
follow them.
Tt has been reported all throagh the conn-
try that onr army was terribly whipped on
Friday, and the destruction of life far great
er than on Wednesday. The foregoing is the
extent of the terrible report, which the
“ reliable gentleman” had worked up to the
greatest disaster of the war.
Thus the attempt to take Murfreesboro’ hy
a flank movement, was defeated on Friday.
Bnt in the meantime, he was gathering and
marshaling his hosts, and by Saturday eve
ning it was Ascertained that Rosencrans was
making preparations for an attack upon onr
little army, with two columns, and a third
column in motion to intercept Bragg’s re
treat or attaok him in the rear, as the case
'might be, either of which three columns were
equal to our whole army. It was then that
Bragg determined to fall back, to do which
time was to be lost. Nearly all the arms
and property, and all the prisoners captnred
were successfully sent back, and then the
army was withdrawn safely and without any
attack from the enemy only somo slight cav
alry skirmishing, though many of our dead
remained unburied, and some of our wound
ed were left behind that could not be brought
off.
Onrwholo force was less than 30,000.—
That of tho enemy in the fight on Wednes
day was 60,000. We had less than 20,000
engaged that day In the fight.' Our loss from
first to last, in killed, wounded and missing,
will reach 9,000. The loss of the enemy, as
ascertained by our officers before leaving
there on Sunday morning, was at least 25,-
009 in killed, wounded and prisoners in onr
hands. Bat from the Yankee dispatches we
have already published; it has been seen that
they acknowledge a Iobs of 25,000. From
this we are fully warranted in placing their
loss at 50,000, according to all past Yankee
confessions of their losses.
Wo regret to say that the report of the
drath of Gen. Hanson is confirmed.
Thus has been fought one of the severest
battles on record, and a victory worthy the
valor of our men, such as never before was
achieved. But like many of the victories of
the Confederate army in this war, it is al
most fruitless, and will do bnt little more for
us than shed undying lnstre upon the valor
of our men. We have no doubt the losses
of the Yankees are fully fivo to one in killed
and wounded, while their losses in prisoners
are more than ten to one
Tbe Political Situation.
The battle of Fredericksburg was fought
on the 13th of December. The intelligence
of the victory to whioh it.led, will not reach
Europe until the 1st of January. Will it
have any inflnence on the councils of tho
French Emperor f Will it induce bim to
carry into effect his plan of mediation. We
think not. He has waited patiently for the
co operation of the British Cabinet. The
probability is that he will defer the execu
tion of his purpefee until he perceives the
effect of the approaobing struggle in the
British House of Commons to displace the
Palmerston miniitry. If that struggle is
successful, he will have no difficulty in ef
fecting his mediatorial offices.
But as the inauguration of the Governor
of Now York will take place about the some
time, the probability is increased that ho
will wait to see more definitely expressed,
than hitherto, the form that the opposition
in that great State will assume towards tho
Lincoln Government—whether of open
qualified hostility. His next office will be
comparatively an easy ono of mediation,
should the Governor and Legislature of New
York refuse, not oi.Jy to give any further aid
to the Wa.-hingtbii Government, but place
itself in an attitude of hostility to it. The
opposition «f New York will, in all proba
bility, cairy with it that of Pennsylvania
and Ohio L would make the task of the
French E i; per or comparatively easy to have
the indirect co operation of one or more of
these large States, should he not snoceed in
procuring the co-operation of England. The
efforts making at the North to obtain a re
construction of the Union, show plainly that
the'peace party perceive the futility of a
compulsory policy. They will of course toil
in tbeir scheme of rooonstruotion. They will
have no other alternative bat to propose
peace qogotiations cn the basis of the inde
pendence of the Confederate States. An ar
mietice would of course be the prelude to
this work of conciliation, althoagh one or
more severe battles may be fought before
that consummation is reached. Circumstan
ces appear, therefore, to tend all in the same
direction—that of the restoration of harmo
ny on the foundation of the Nationality of
our people, and the Sovereignty of onr Con
federacy.

[communicated.}
Chattanooga, January, 1363.
Messrs. Editors Confederacy :
Some time since a triend called my attention
to some criticisms made on some remaks I had
the honor to make at the last session ot Congress
J® jW financial policy, over tho signature of
’’C” ja yatt highly appreciated paper; hence I
feel compelled to beg your indulgence for a brief
reply through the same medium, particularly as
?°n k ln< ^ enou gh to publish my remarks in
full. My absence from this part of the country
at the time, and transient lile since, prevented
earlier ^notice.
I do not know certainly how manv articles
were written by “C”,. but have seen “No. 8,”
and I must thank him most sincerely for the
very respectful and thorough notice he haB taken
of my unpretending suggestions, as no man can
read his “criticisms” and have bia attention
called directly to the points and principles in
volved, without concurring with me in the cor
rectness of my position. By his criticisms I am
greatly strengthened, and only notice these ar
ticles to set at rest a fallacy which he advocates,
and which scorns to pervade tho minds of the
people to some extent: and that is advising that
each State shall issue its bonds and deliver them
to tho Confederate Slates for Confederate bonds
to an equal amount. Tho very proposition car
ries with it doubt as to our success, and, hence,
cannot be tolerated in legislation. It is like a
clerk endorsing for his principal in the last throes
of insolvency.
This suggestion is made upon the same prin
ciple on which it ia contended by some that State
Bank notes are worth nore than Confederate
notes—that the Confederate currency might be
come worthless and still the bank bills be good.
One moment’s reflection will demonstrate the
fallacy. Mr. C, it will be recollected, advocates
the making ot tbe Confederate currency a legal
tender, (in which I must heartily concur, both
as to the necessity and constitutionality^ Then,
I ask, what could the States pay, if the Confed
erate States fail of success ? Why then mom's
fest this weakness in our cause by the individ
ual State endorsement1 The same principle is
equally applicable in regard to bank notes.—
The Treasury notes will no doubt be made a
legal tender. If so, of course every State Leg
islature would protect its chartered bank insti
tutions from redeeming in any other than
the Treasury notes. Indeed they will do this in
qpy event —from the very necessity of the situa
tion—whether made r *L legal tender or not.—
Hence, bank notes are worth no more than Con
federate notes, and inay be worth less.
While upon tbia subject, I will add a few
thoughts and suggestions, rather supplemental
to my remarks ot the 2nd of October, to show
the appreciation in which onr national debt ought
to be held. The annual- production of coin of
the world is a little less than two hundred mil
lions of dollars. While our annual excess of
exportations (after paying for everything we can
possibly need from foreign countries, including
the Northern Republics) will be between two
and thtce hundred millions of dollars, which
insures us as a nation the complete command
and control of the entire coiu production of the
world for all time to come, which of course will
make this the wealthiest nation on the earth,
thereby turning the exchange oi all the nations
of the world t« favor of the Confederate States
instead of against them, as was the case in the
consolidated government; which fact alons,
when properly understood and appreciated, must
and will give stability of value to our national
stocks, such as no nation upon earth ever has
had or can have, as our bonds would be sought
after in every market of the world for the pur
pose ot paying us for cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco
and naval stores, at a premium, as exchange on
the Confederate States will be worth from two
to ten per cent premium. Hence, there is no
necessity of promising to pay the high rate of
interest to which we are committing ourselves.
One word in regard to the “excosaive cir
culation” about which we havo so much
croaking. What amount of circulation is ne
cessary to transact the business of any given
community ?
This is a question which never has boen,
and never oan be satisfactorily answered.—
Tho aggregate commercial transactions of tho
old United Stales as estimated by the ablest
writers on political eoonomy, was eighty-five
thousand-millions of dollars per annum while
the largest circulation upon whioh this amount
of business was transaoted was about three
hundred and fifty millions of dollars, and
one hundred and fifty to two hundred millions
of dollars of coin; bnt it must be recollected
that this was in peaceful times, when really
no money was required—was all based upon
individual credit, cheeks, drafts, &o., for in
stance a merchant in Charleston could have
his note discounted, proceeds placed to his
credit and check ip favor of his creditor, the
same discount and money thereby probably
satisfying a hundred daily demands. Now
the case is entirely different, there is noauoh
thing as bank accommodations—with rare ex
ceptions—but every merchant bases his
sransaotions upon actual money, and pays
the actual moneyjfrom his safe; hence, tbe
wants of tho people, now, cannot be meas
ured by any euoh theory, or preoodent. If
you deduct the transactions in the Northern
States growing out of cotton—from the aggre
gate, it is safe to say, that the commercial, or
money transactions of the Confederate States
would bo forty thousand millions of dollars an
nually—then I ask with all banking facilities
suspended, who dare say that wo have any
thing to fear from a redundancy of currency
~even should onr debt be increased to one
thousand millions of dollars, which is only
about one hundred dollars to every man, wo
man and ohild, or six hundred dollars to eV'
ery family.
repeat steer clear of the danger of repu
diation by th8 excessive rates of inter sat
which wo can never pay, and our debt is good
and will take care hf itself—next to subjuga
tion I regard repudiation tho direst calamity
thatconld befall us as a people, and 1 invoke
the people to bold public meetings through 1
out the land and protest against, and de
nounce by petitions the discontinuance ot
this high rate of interest. Some newspapers
have gone so far as to advooate the sale of
bonds bearing eight per cent, interest at auc-
tion, even if they did not bring over twenty
five cents on tbe dollar, thereby paying thirty-
<ioo per cent, interest for money—ratherthap
issue treasury notes—such a proposition is
monstrous and would insure repudiation.
In oonolusion, Mr. Editor, allow me to say,
if all newspapers will stop croaking over the
“redundancy of currency” and unite with
you in demanding in the name of the people
a reduction of the rate of interest, and the
refusaLto find any more treasury note3 at six
or eight per cent interest, and the making
treasury notes a legal tender, the publte
credit and national honor will be presented,

Our folks have had some interesting
conversations with the Yankee prisoners as they
passed over the railroad to Chattanooga. Many
of them were the 6ame who devastated our
caunty when this portion of the State was under
Federal tyranny, and they must have felt much
chagrin at their change ot fortune—that of sup
pliants for food and water from the very people
they had tried to ruin ; whose houses they had
pillaged and burned; who had stolen our
negroes and other property, insulted our women,
and who have said in their wrath we should
drink the “bittercup of rebellion to the oeath.
No wonder they hung their heads uuderthe
lashings of righteous retribution which had
overtaken them.— Winchester {Tenn.) Bulletin.

Correspondence of the Southern Confed
eracy.
[Notwithstanding wo have published a com
munication oflater date, from onr correspondent
Lexington,” we give the following, which will
serve as a part of tho history of the time in
which it was written:]
Chattanooga, Jan. 23, 1862.
The news to-day from Mnrfreesborough is
rather more cheering than heretofore. The en
emy is still falling back and our forces closely
pursuing. So far we have taken over 4,500pris-
oners.300 wagons, a large anionnt of commis
sary and ordnance stores, and 39 pieces of ar
tillery and twenty-three guns and caissons have
reached this place that were taken from the en
emy during the engagement; but two of the
guns are spiked—ail are loaded with blank
shell, bnt they will soon be extracted and the
guns made serviceable. Among the guns here
are sixteen splendid brass pieces (rifled), and
four eight pound parrots.
About 3,000 of the prisoners captured have
arrived here. Eleven hnndrtd ot them have
been forwarded‘‘on to Richmond,” for exchange.
Among the lot is a Dutch General, who, in
speaking of his capture, says: “I jus left my
command one minute to see do general, and ven
I comes pack mines men iBh gone. I sees a man
and tells him to sthop, and be tells me ‘py dam
surrender.' Mo not surrender, put me starts to
go way, an de rebel says, ‘I’ll blow your tam
heat offii you don’t sthop,’ so I sthops and
says Tm your prisoner.’ ”
The Yankees wero driving pr«-tty good trade
in town to-day with the blood-suckers'(the
Jews) of the nation. Federal notes went off
briskly with this class and was eagerly sought
after by blockade runners. They, the prisoners,
were well supplied with countefeit money, and
were passing it off to some extent. When a bill
was offered by them and pronounced counterfeit
they rolled it up and placed it back in their
pockets to try somebody else. Where arc the
fficials ?
But poor arrangements have been made for
the wounded, and hundreds will dieforthe want
of proper attention. I saw a soldier here to-day
who had been shot in the right eye and also
through the left shoulder, who had conte all
the way from from the battle field to this
place without having had his wounds dressed.
When he applied to the hospital for admission
he was very kindly (f) informed that he could
not be admitted, but would have to go to At
lanta to night, before he could be attended to.—
This is only one out of hundreds that are simi
larly treated.
A train has been ordered to be ready by five
o’clock in the morning to carry 500 wounded to
Knoxville. You can conjecture the fearful loss
of life during the engagements when I say that
all the hospitals will be overrun from Murfress-
borough to Montgomery.
“The bridge burning” on the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad will result in more serious
consequences than is generally supposed. All
communication—both by rail and telegraph—is
now cut off. Two bridges have been burnt and
one locomotive destroyed. The enemy that
committed the depredations crossed into Virginia
at Pendleton’s Gap, 15 miles Northeast of Cum
berland Gap. They were under command of a
Col. Carter, an East Tennesseean by birth, and
numberedabout twelve hundred cavalry. Where
they are at present is not known, but I suppose
Marshall’s cavalry havo driven them into Ken
tucky. LEXINGTON.
From the Winchester (Term.) Bulletin
General Bragg.
Our town was all agog last evening to see,
bnt more especially to hoar, Gen. Braxton
Bragg, who arrivednbout noon uni took quar
ters in tbe residence of our legislator, H. T.
Carr. He appeared in front of tbe Post Of-
fioo, aftor an introduction by the Rev. C. D.
Elliott, and in a brief speech bade our people
be of good cheer—that we were not to beleit
to the mercy of tho Abolitionists—that our
State was not to be abandoned—that a stand
wonld bjs made betweon here and Shelby vilie.
He alluded to our victory at Murfreesboro,
in whioh were captured 5,000 prisoners, thir
ty-one pieoes of artillery, and five thousand
stand of small arms, all of which he has de
posited in Chattanooga. Besides, six hun
dred wagons of tho enemy’s were destroyed
and 3,000 mules turned loose. In loss of
men that of tho enemy was fully three to our
one—a statement we can put confidence in,
for Gon. Bragg has ever shown in his reports
a tenacity for truth—even magnifying our
loss rather than inflate us with vain, McClel
lan like boasts. He spoke of the position of
our men—enduring so much and fighting so
bravely against tremendous odds—deplored
the loss of suoh men who have fallen fighting
for liberty; paid a compliment to Tennessee
ans of his army and to the noble women of
our State who have done so much for our
cause.
Ho then retired from the stand, and was
enthusiastically cheered by the eager assent
biy. i
Rev. C. D. Elliott being called for, made *
most impressive talk, Gen. Bragg for pru
dential reasons had fallen back—he had won
a great victory at Murfreesboro’, but his men
were exhausted, and looking not to my pig
pen which stands just the other side of Mur-
froosboro’, or your pig-pen which stands yon
der, but with an eye to the good of the whole
Confederacy, and for the good of his brave
men, he had made his movements. Mr. El
liott alluded to his inoarooration at Camp
Chase and while in the North he had read their
newspapers and conversed with tbeir people,
and tbeir theme was always about bagging
Bragg, but they were foiled, and it was a
sore point with them to speak of bagging
Bragg.
Bnt we have only a few moments and little
space to do justice to the remarks of these
eminent men. We must add, however, that
their remarks were comforting to a people
true worshippers at the shrine of fee South
—a people noted for their unanimons hatred
of all Yankeedom, and whose prayers by
night and day go up tnat our inhuman enemy
may he driven back with slaughter to his
vile home in the North. That-suoh a people
as this, rebels to the care—all of them—should
he shrouded with gloom at the thought of
our army retreating, is perfectly natural.—
Their spirits were depressed on yesterday,
and many yet have gloomy forebodings. But
looking on the face of that stern old warrior,
and his flashing eye that spoke in unison
with a patriotio soul, despondency fled from
the hearts of his hearers and left a home for
cheerful hope. Gen. Bragg could hardly
know the almost frantic eagerness of our
people to hear, and how .carefully they
weighed each word from his lips. They must
and do look to him as one who holds their
life in Ms hands, for it is a spiritual death
almost to even fear the presence again of
Lincoln’s minions, All over our country go
up hourly, most fervrnt prayer that ho may
be able to command the sucoess he so richly
dessrves. This feeling is not a weakness;
nor does it spring from a lack of valor—it
comes of undying devotion to a cause sacred
as life.
As for ourself, we must say our confidence
is firm that the enemy will never reach us,
and that Gen. Bragg will again inflict a blow
far more disastrous than the one at Mur
freesboro’. Whatever may be said by fire
side Generals about his Kentucky campaign
it must be admitted by all that his campaign
in Middle Tennessee has been a decided suc
cess the details of which will ever do him
honor. More anon.
