Further from Tennessee -- the Yankee accounts of Hood's Losses
   The Nashville Dispatch says:
   ***** A rebel captain states that Hood, previous to the battle, was so sanguine of having everything just as he desired it, that he was preparing to run cars between here and Franklin. He had two cars pulled by oxen across the country from the Chattanooga road to the Tennessee & Alabama road, and was fixing to draw the locomotive over by the same plan, when the fight began and spoiled his plans. He had also two other captured cars and locomotives, with which he intended to run his line of railroad travel. All these cars and locomotives have fallen into our hands.
