mes the following intelligence relative to the positions the two armies occupied at that time: The bulk of our army is at Pulaski, on the Decatur and Nashville railroad, in splendid condition; the men being well fed and well clothed, with money in their pockets. The new troops are distributed judiciously, and put through a vigorous system of drill three times a day. Pulaski is a very pretty town, near the Alabama State line, between sixty and seventy miles south from Nashville. General Stanley commands the Fourth corps and General Cox the Twenty- third corps. Both are excellent officers. The whole are under the command of General Schofield in the field, whose headquarters are at Spring Hill, a small place between Franklin and Columbia. General Schofield is greatly beloved as an officer and a man. General Thomas is still in this city, with headquarters at the St. Cloud Hotel. I think there will something lively transpire in less than a month in this department, even i

loss does not reach a thousand. General Bradley, of Illinois, while gallantly leading his troops, was severely wounded in the shoulder. Our loss in field officers is very small. Our troops behaved handsomely. Schofield commanded on the field, Stanley on the right and Cox on the left. General Stanley was wounded slightly in the neck, but remained on the field, and is all right to-day.

I have told you all along the programme of General Thomas would electricity you, and this is but the epilogue of the battle to come off. After our dead, wounded and prisoners were cared for, our army fell back to this point, and are in line of battle while I write. Up to this time, 3 P. M., the enemy has not made his appearance. The Third corps of veterans are in readiness, and a battle is expected before day light to-morrow. All Government work is suspended, and all are under arms from General Donaldson down to the unscientific laborers. The falling back of our troops was accomplis

e late victory at Franklin. Thirty stands of colors were captured by the Union forces. The Forty ninth Indiana captured five; the Eighty-eighth Illinois, three; Reilly's old brigade, eighteen; and the Twenty-third corps captured four. General Stanley, commanding the Fourth corps, had a very narrow escape, having had a horse killed under him, and was shot in the right shoulder, the ball traversing the back and going out the left shoulder. He is in the city, and though suffering considerably is still attending to duty. It is confirmed that General Patrick R. Cleburne, of Arkansas, is killed. General Kimball, commanding the Second division of General Stanley's corps, in the heat of the battle, passed a rebel major-general, who told him he was mortally wounded. His men succeeded in carrying off the body. It is believed that Hood's main army is threatening Murfreesboro'. Forrest's rebel cavalry is demonstrating on our front and right flanks. Commander Fitch is

nt. Gold, on that day, went up to, and closed at, 231 1-4--an advance of 3 on the day before. The general news is entirely unimportant. The Yankee Congress met on Monday, and on Tuesday Lincoln's message was to be sent in at 1 o'clock; but as the evening papers of that day have nothing about it, it was probably still further delayed. There had been no more fighting at Nashville, and the papers are using their spare time in making a big victory out of the Franklin defeat. Major-General Stanley, who had arrived at Cincinnati, wounded, is reported as saying-- The rebels met with their heaviest losses in attacking our trains, which were of enormous size and value, and filled the roads for twelve miles. It was not intended that Franklin should be held longer than was necessary to get our property out of the way. The rebels had been pressing us very hard from Columbia, and at one time we were in great danger. Hood lost his opportunity by not attacking in force at Spring H

While the Prince of Wales was at Hebron he and his suite obtained permission to visit the Cave of Machpelah, Abraham's burial place. They are the first Christians who have been allowed to enter it since the Crusades, nearly seven hundred years ago. Dr. Stanley says everything is kept in the most beautiful order, and nothing could be more satisfactory than the state in which the tombs are preserved. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah are buried there.
