THE CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH,
HOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

The CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH.
For some time past We nave been anticipat-
ing what has now been accomplished, the oc-
cnpation Of Savannah by the Federal forces
The rebels themselves have considered it
point Of great weakness, and at the time of
the capture Of Port Royal it is believed that
the fleet could have Tun up the Savannah river
and with land force Of d single regiment
have made Savannah OUTS, at even less risk
than to reduce the batteries On Hilton Head.
It was postponed until now, and Our dispatch
cs Of last evening chronicle that it has fallea
into our hands.
Our map Of q portion Of tnc southern coast
gives the relative position Of Savannah to
Beaufort and PORT Royal, the splendid 1larbor
Of which, in our hands, is being made the cen
ter Of Federal operations On the coast. Tho
expedition to Savannah has been quietly fit
ting out for some weeks past, Com. Dupont
putting his fleet in readiness for operations in
the vicinity Of Savannah Let us look little
at the defepses Of the city. Theprincipa1 one
Of these is Fort Pul,ski, which guards the 6ar-
bor approach.
It is built on Cockspur Island, fourteen
mics from Savannah, at the mouth OF the Sa-
yannah river. Tie site Of the Fertilization was
selected by Major Babcock, Of the United
Statcs Engineer Corps, about tHenty-six years
ago, but it was not until lS41 that the work Of
erecting the present massive masonry fortia-
cation was commenced in earnest. In that
year (now Qua1termaster GencraD Mansfield
took charge Of lis construction. The fort was
finished few years ago, at a cost Of s9Gs, 900
Ihc tort Is OF pcntagonal form, covering sew
cr:1 acres. Tic full armament Of the fort will
consist of the lower tier, Of sixty-ive 53>pound-
crs Qron piece, ,).and in the upper tier Of fifty
three 24pounders, four 16-pounder danking
howitzers, one 13-inch mortar, twelve S-inch
columbiads, and seven 10-inch mortars all
150 guns. The columbiads arc heavy and very
destructive weapons, Of long range, und adapt
cd to use spherical slot or shell They are
capable Of an elevation Of $50 degrees, and u
vertical fire Of five degrees, depressed to thir-
ty-sH degrees elevation. The full garrison OF
the fort is eight hundred men, but one-half
that number could hold it successfully agaiust
very large force Vessels Of any consider:a-
bic size, in beating up the channel Of Sayan.
nah, are obliged to approach within seventy
yards Of the fort, and at this point many guns
Of large calibre can be made to concentrate
their fire. The fortifcation is pronounced by
expert army engineers one Of the strongest

NEw POLITICAL POLICY.

Attention viii be attracted to the bold declara-
tons Of JOHN Van buren,, uttered at the late
Democratic mass meeting in the city Of New
York, to which references is made in our tsle-
graphic columns. Put forth as their views are,
in he iae- Of LrSCoLN's late proclamation sus-
pending the vrit of Ha5sas Corpus, we may
next expect to hear thar the autho- has received
a lodguent in Font Warren-a fate in which he
wal receive but little sympathy South, because
our people viii remember bis agency, IN 1913, in
originating the very party henow eensures, and
which, alone, Is Responsible for the troubles that
so seriously agitste North and South.
After the " on to Richmond" movement, the
plan proposed By BIr, VAN BURES is impracte-
able. We can treat with the North CTS for
unconditional separation. It is useless to en-
deavOr to patch up a Constitution. We lived
under enc for seventy years, and untold genera
lions might have continued to enjoy its bless
ings, bad its provisions been rigidly enforced,
and The rights it guaranteed religiously observed.
Bar, against all circumstances and persuasion
political folly and fansticism tore down the bar
riers Of safety one after another, and the South,
convinced that its only safety lay in separation,
chose that course and viii abide BY it. No writ
ten constitution can control the higher-law creed
Of those who have driven Us out of the Union,
and We win have no political association with
them.
But the declaration Of Mr.. VAN buren, is inn
portant, as showing that the people Of the North
are beginning to entertain and discuss a plan
settlement A great meeting in the com
meTcisl emporium Of the North heard these ut
t~eranoes, and thousands are now reaecting upon
the views spoken. They will be read in every
with result that viii yet enfeeble
the policy Of those who lead in the war for cur
su5jugstion. The people are already tired Of
the wsr, Independent of ths fact that it has
been demonstrated It is RoD being waged for
purpose than that which was first an
nounced- The negro is not q rallying cry Of as
much potency as was The Constitution" The
leaven is working.

EDITORS APPEAL Tanners and shomakers

the Confederate States, but there Is one little
provision Of those laws which they ali seem to

the products of their labor shall be sold at prices

cost of production. Now I will venture to say
that there is not a tanner or shoemaker in Mis-
sissippi who is not selling bis products at from
one hundred to fiye hundred per cent upon the
cost Of production. All such are no longer ex-
empt from co~nscription. Now, let every man
who buys q hide of leather, or a pair of shoes
from these ersnPtss take q receipt for his pur-
chases. which will be proof positive against
them, that they are liable to be enrolled as con.
scripts. If they refuse to give a receipt let the
purchaser make a memorandum of his pur-
