President Ep:avls' Message.


We have carefully studied this impor-
tant State paper, and have derived from
it much encouragement. Like al other
of his official documents, it is calm, dig
nifed, lucid, and impressive. His serene
soul. and unwavering determination, is ap-
parent throughout the whole, inspiring like
confidence in the bosoms Of ali " rho read
We dissent from some Of his recomIaen-
dations, but cannot hastily condemn
since III these stormy times, and great
perils, Ii may be the highest wisdom to
resort to measures which in less e.ner
gencies would be highly improper. The
key note Of the whole policy is sounded
in the expression 'Peoce as imp0si,,J}t
acit|oat Iadrpen4encs."
He reviews the Military campaigns o.
the present year, and shows that noiwiih-
standing apparent successes here and
there, the designs Of the enemy, for I'll,
accomplishment Of which they put for

their greatest resources, have been uaf

the hurried retreat Of Sherman 10 tho

they have sacrificed near hundred thou

sscommeaced by denouncing the present 40

the principal that Of two evils you should
chose the least. He declared that no one
wished for the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln ex'
cept the shoddy contractors. Mr.. Lincoln
he said, was not an anti slavery ran, but quite
the contrary. He had done all he could to
prevent emancipation, and his proclamation,
given under political pressure, was SO Wo1ded
Il no slave could avail himself Of it. The
speaker said he Was for the salvation OF the
Union, and be hoped that if they thought
Gen. G. B. Mcclellan or any other 1ndlvld'

that they would elect him TO I'll the Presiden"

b army nearer To the Charleston and Sa-
yannah road than il was before. Since
the 9Th fhe advance had marched
eighteen miles, and was therefore about
| seven miles from Savannah Arriving at
| this point, General Sherman, doubtless,
proceeded to reconnoiter his position and
prepare for the coming battle. Ii Is un-
derstood that the rebels had thrown up
three lines of earthworks on the rear OF
the city rs soon as possible after Sher-
mans intentions respecting Savannah
became declared. 1
l. 3 FRIDAY, DECEMBER y.
CAPTAIN Duncan, of General Howard's
scouts, left the army and proceeded
down, the Ogeechee, and arrived
at Port ROYAL on the l4th. He re-
ported General sherman within five miles
of Savannah, and advancing. The enc.
my's first line of works were within i've
mil : of the city. The army wasin fine
spirits; had met with success and very
little opposition. and was well supplied
.Gh SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10.
Richmond papers of the 18th, report
General Sherman at Bloomingdale,f fifteen

declares that there has been no commun'

General Foster had met with success in
holding the Charleston and Savannah
road q.
THE FORCE IN SAVANNAH.
: The rebel force defending Savannah Is
under command of Beauregard, Hardee
and Smith. What its strength is there
are no reasons of learning positively, but
il is spoken of, by the Southern papers,
as very large" II may be large enough
torhOld Savannah for long time and still
not surrender over twenty thousand, but
it is evidently not of sufficient magni-
tude tomeet General Sherman in the open
field successfully 1t is scarcely probable
that this army will be captured u the
fall of Savannah is accomplished. There
is one avenue of escape, the Savannah,
Albany and Gulf road, which, though it
terminates abruptly 10 the extreme
southerly portion of the State, would
still be means of escape which the reb-
ell generals would scarcely disdain. This
can be closed to them, however. by de-
stroying the bridge over the Ogeechee at
Warp. sixteen miles from Savannah
COOPERATION BY THE NAVY,
Ii is not unreasonable to suppose that
General Sherman waited after the 10th
inst. ia order to give the navy an oppor.
tunity to participate in the attack upon
Sayann ah, or in order to enable General
Foster 10 cooperate directly with him
In this view of the case we may not rea-
npahlv aynact the fall of Savannah inn
mediately, although it may have taken
place already That it will fall there can
scarcely be doubt.
