SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

The erroneous impression is generally current
that the occupation Of Savannah by the enemy
was q matter Of course after the fall Of Fort
Pulaski But such is far from the case. The
defenses along the river bank are said to be of a
character sufficiently formidable to resist the
passage Of the guubosts up TO The city. Pulaski
was not taken through the instrumentality of
gunboais, but by land battery IN the rear,
which attacked its weakest point with heavy
and improved rided cannon, carrying steel point
ed conical balls. Confidence IS still entertained
IN our capacity to hold Savannah, as the enemy

State Guard with e view TO transfer them to th-
Confederate camp, or at least 60 put them in a
condition TO be accepted by the Confederate
States. and accompany Gen Van Dorm into

The maiOr-gensral commanding this district

THE DEmOBALEZING EFFECT OF
TEE sP0ELA.
The war correspondent Of the Mobile Ad5sy-
tiser and Register, writing from Corin.h in rela-
ton to the second days battle, says:

The war correspondent Of the Mobile Ad5er-
tiser and Register, writing from Corin.h in rela-
ton to the second days battle says
Our attack yesterday was so sudden and sue
cessful, that the enemy found it impossible to
remove his quarternaster and commissary stores,
or even to save the baggage Of the men. The
temptation thus presented was too great for our
troops to resist Sunday night large numbers
of them, supposing there would be 10 more
fighting, sst to work to gather up such spoils as
the Federal encampment contained. There
were arms, overcOats, caps, shoes, coffee, sugar,
provisions trunks, blankets, liquors, private
letters, and numberless other things which the
enemy had been compelled to abandon Such
of our troops as were engaged in searching out
the wounded and dead, OF were not restrained By
g sense of duty, wandered from their respective
camps, and spent much Of the night in pUndeT-
ing Orders had been issued by Cen Beaure-
gard positively prohibiting anything Of the kind
but many OF the troops are raw, and officers
and men were alike elated at cur success and
conseq quauJ-V the necessary steps were not taken
to enforce the orders 0: the c0mmander-iu-chief
At an early hour this morning the men renewed
their search after the spells of victory, and
many Of them were separated from their com
mandeTs when the enemy renewed the battle
Some OF them had even started back TO their
camps, loaded with such articles as they had
been able to find.
After deducting the killed and wounded, en1
those who were engaged inremoying the wound
cd, it would be no eXaggeratiOn to say that 5000
sound and able bodied men had thus wandered
out Of line and took no part whatever in the
battle to-day. On the other hand, tLe enemy
had baen largely reinforced.
Thus, with a diminished force on our part, we
had 10 meat fresh troops and more numerous
army than thst we had encountered yesterday
And thus, too, the spoils have prevented Us
from again driving the enemy back into the
tennessee, notwithstanding great odds in his
favor.
1t was well enough, while the conflict lasted,
that our troops should exchange their smooth
bored musEets and shot guns for the splendid
arms thrown away by the reIgating fos; but
there can be no excuse for the disgrscaful pro
aeediBg5 to which have alluded
