LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Company's screw steamer Edinburgh, Captain
Mirehouse, which sailed from New York on the
22nd ultimo, arrived in the Mersey this evening.
A telegraphic summary of her advice, has already
been published.

The surrender of Clarksville, on the Tennessee
River, is announced by the following official des-
patch from General Halleck to General M'Clellwn :
St. Louis, Feb. 20, 1862.

To Major-GeoerolWelollao.

The New York /Jerald of the 22n1 of February
says :

The occupation of Clarksville leaves Nashville exposed to
the advance door troops end gunboats, as the rapid rising
of the ricer would permit the latter to approach the city
without dithenhy. According to statements in the Rich.
mond papers, General Johnston had telegraphed to
General Grant, upon hearing of the fall of Fart
Donnehen, offering to surrender Nashville on cow
Anion that private property should be respected.
Considering that the IJakm party in Nashville Is very
large, sod that the desire to preserve the city from destroo-
tion would naturally be in the ascendant there, it is act at
all imposible that no stubborn resistance to mann willbs
met with at that point. It appears, by our news from St.
Louis last night, that the Provost Marshal at Clarksville
Invited General Grant to come on and occupy the town.

Governor Harris is said to have called • special meeting
of the Tennessee Legislature for the 24th February for the
purpose of having all the unconstitutional acts passed by
that body immediately annulled. It is further stated
that the officials and leading citizens all over the state de-
alers that Tennessee most soon be back again in the
Union.

Information reached the Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
Mr. Fax, yesterday, from oneof the inbreed prisoners from
Riohomed, that the Union feeling in that city is very
strong, sad that an organisation numbering fully three
thousand men exists there, who are only waiting an oppor-
tunity to show their allegiance to the government. Disaf-
fection thus appears to permeate through the whole land
of rebeklom, from the south-western binder even to the
capital Hod.
The direst fear exists; among the rebels that both Savan-
nah and Charleston are in imminent danger of being cap-
tured by the Union armies. The Savannah near says that
Savannah will certainly be destroyed this week, and Me-
!erten soon after. A despabh, dated Augusta, Oa., an-
nounces as the latest Intelligence to the 18th inst., that oar
vowels were pining ground in their strode to
reach the mein channel of the river, and that the attack
on the city could not be much longer delayed. All the
information we have relative to the taking of Savannah,
it moat be observed, comes from rebel sources exclusively,
and it must be admitted that the whole of that information
indicates the happiest results.
Our armies in Missouri are gaining still further victoria,
as is shown by the following eflicid despatch :
