NASHVILLE, Dec. 12, 1862.
    The rebel papers admit a loss in the Hartsville affair of over 100. The 2d and 9th Kentucky, Morgan's cavalry, and two of Roger Hanson's regiments, were engaged in the fight. The 2d Kentucky lost sixty-seven men.
    Franklin, Tenn., has been taken by our forces. The 7th Kentucky cavalry dashed in early in the morning, taking fifteen prisoners and killing eight rebels.
    Gen. Stanley's cavalry division have been armed, and this morning broke up all the rebel camps between Murfreesboro and Franklin. Gen. Rosecrans declares that Gen. Stanley, with his cavalry, will clear the country of rebel cavalry.

    NEW YORK, Dec. 14.--A special to the Tribune, dated Nashville 12th, says:
    General D. S. Stanley returned this evening from a dashing enterprise into Dixie. He left our front yesterday by the Franklin Pike with a strong force of cavalry, and disturbed the enemy in the day, fighting a considerable cavalry force and driving them across the country.
    He made a dash at Franklin this morning, but was sharply resisted by the enemy shooting from houses.
    Major General Wynkoop's cavalry charged brilliantly through the town and drove the rebels after destroying flouring mills and other property useful to the rebels. The expedition returned, losing only one man.
    Five rebels, including one lieutenant, were killed, ten wounded, twelve taken prisoners, and a large lot of horses captured. It was discovered that there is no large force of rebels as far west as Franklin.
    There is a heavy force of rebels near Nolansville, another at Murfreesboro, and a considerable force this side of Stewart's Creek. There was no enemy at Lebanon.
    Morgan is about promiscuously with 5,000 men. The enemy is waiting an attack. The entire rebel force does not exceed 70,000. The Murfreesboro rebel Courier of yesterday admits the loss at Huntsville, in two rebel regiments, of over eighty men.
    Bragg sent 1,732 paroled Union prisoners to our lines yesterday, mostly captured at Huntsville.

    KNOXVILLE, Dec. 10.--President Davis made a speech here this morning. He thinks the toryism of East Tennessee exaggerated.
    Governor Brown, of Georgia, acting under authority of the Legislature of that State, has seized from $300,000 to $400,000 worth of goods in Augusta, for the use of the soldiers, to be paid for, of course, at reasonable rates. It has caused great excitement.

    NEW YORK, Dec. 13.--The Herald has a dispatch dated Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 11, which says:
    Wharton's rebel brigade have had a skirmish with the Federals on Neill Creek. The Federals lost 100 killed.

    CINCINATTI Dec. 14.--A special to the Commercial from Nashville says the Murfreesboro Rebel Banner of Saturday, announces that Jeff. Davis arrived there on Friday. He reviews Hardee's division at Nolanville to-morrow.

                                                                 EVANSVILLE, Dec. 12, 1862.
    A special messenger who arrived at Henderson to-night, from Russellville brings information that a reliable scout had arrived at Russellville from Charlotte, who states that Forrest, Woodward and Tripplett are there with 3,000 men., They are on their way to Union county on a foraging expedition, and will doubtless carry a good supply of hogs, cattle and horses back to the rebel army unless our Hoosier Butternut Hullers get a sight of them. We doubtless shall now have another big scare, the first symptoms of which have appeared.
