The PPobable Capture of Savannah.

"
Tho President received dispatch yesterday
afternoon from Gen. Dix, under date of Fort
reSs Monroe, March Sd" stating that the Rich
mond papers had been received there an
nouncing that Fort McAlllster had been ro-
dueed by the combined Federal forces on water
and land. II Is seldom that Such report
comes to us through rebel sources without
being founded upon fact. Moreover, prepare
tions have been making to accomplish this
very end. The capture Of this fort gives our
army and navy the right Of way to commence
the siege Of Savannah. Indeed, It is the i'm
presAlon Of those who are best informed in the
Government, that Savannah iS now in our pos
session, II our forces have not been rspulsed,
which, in view Of the formidable force on
water and land, can hardly be possible.
The fortiacatIons lying between Fort Meal
lister and the city OF Savannah are inferior
structures and can easily be reduced.
The Government ls in hourly expectation Of
news, by dispatch boat from Admiral Dupont,
at Fortress Monroe, AMI thence by telegraph "a

GLORIOUS REPoRTs THROUGH RE-
BELDoAT, OF THE SUCCESS
OF our ARMS.

From information obtained through rebel
sources, as will be seen by our telegrsphlc dis
patches On the outside aud iuside Of to-day's
paper, and our knowledge OF tho movements of
onr army and navy, on the coast, inland, and
on the Mississippi, we can easily believe that
notwithstanding recent reycrses, we arc now
about 10 hear Of glorious victories on the coast
and In the interior, by sea and land. Not only
do The Richmond papers admit that the Federal
forces have captured their great stronghold be.
fare Savannah, but We also learn, through the
Fy.lEs5urg Erprss', (rebel paper) that great
b-...g las been fought at vicksburg. Special
-a.g 10 .aEea by that paper to inform us, at
lea. ,l-: We are not whipped, and that they do
:. . -,-.a q victory. This style Of language
c have .9ng since learned 10 interpret as a
2 rr.-u. triumph Of our arms.
-... .l-.her dl5patch announces that the
r.2..l ars Cvacuat!ug and flying from vicks-
Gag Our own information, obtained from
-c..-s!o official sources, loads Us to believe that
5--aanaL and Vicksburg have not only been
made TO saccumb to the military power OF the
Government, but that Charleston, the nursery
Of treason, has also fallen!
These are no speculations; but 'on the con.
ggE.y, from all the information now in our pos
sessi5n from rebel sources and official channels
acre, we believe we have only summed up, IN

tail in language, that will send Joy to the heart,

The Interior p.partmsnt.

The Secretary of the Interior has transmitted
to the House an answer to the resolution OF Mr..
shellabRrger, asking what legislation might be
necessary to initiate reforms in any branch Of
that department, giving the answers of the
heads Of bureaus, from which 1t appears, in
their opinion, that no reforms are needed which
can be rsmedied by legislation. The Commits.
sioner Of Patents, at whose management 1t ia
understood the resolution was aimed, replied
that his clerical force was not so large as the
law allowed, and no larger than was necessary,
and that any mismanAgement could be reached
