LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 22, 1864.

The news from America continues to arrive
rapidly, and so momentous is the crisis that every
fresh instalment is eagerly looked for and anxiously
conned. Yet the crisis so long apprehended has not
yet come, only there are many indications of the
ultimate failure of the great Federal raid into
Georgia. The news is still indecisive, but SHERMAN
has found mare opposition than he reckoned on.
His cavalry has been defeated between Milledge-
ville and Millen, and KILPATRICK is reported
wounded. It is said that SHERMAN'S advanced
guard had reached so near to Savannah as to be
skirmishing with the Confederate outposts. This
we think improbable, seeing that his cavalry had
been repulsed and even captured in their attempt to
open communications with Beaufort. The Savannah
skirmish is probably founded on that circumstance.
1 SHELIIAN has been detained for several days
rear Millen to gather supplies—in other words an
excuse for not being able to force his way—it is not
very likely that any portion of his troops could have
got so near the coast—unless indeed it may be
, few stragglers who have possibly escaped as de-
serters or runaway fugitives. s
-omo such deserters
or captured Federals assert that suEumloi has
run very short of supplies and in great straits. On
the whole his position seems to be a very desperate
one ; still he may contrive to reach the coast with
a remnant of his distressed troops. President LIN.
COLN himself seems to think it wise not to know
too much of SHERMAN'S movements, and we hear
very little boasting of the great things which he is
to accomplish. At a speech which he has recently
made at Wash:ngton, Mr LINCOLN said that " All
knew where SHERMAN went in at, but he could
not tell where be would come out at." He might
have gone a little farther, and said that no one
knew how he would come oat, or indeed whether
