NJ, The Herald Fort Nc lister correspondent
lsaSs.When Gen. Sherman arrived in, front Of
Savannah, he had drove 1900 head of cattle
'throhgh, though he started with only 200, and
had fed his army on full rations on march OF
300 miles. He also gathered on the way over
1000 able-bodied negroes and so many horses,
mules and wagons, as to embarrass him.
His army during considerable portion OF
their march, extended to over breadth OF
country sixty miles wide, and forty miles in
times intervening between the right and left
wings. 1909 ifaf 7sma y sa.s8 n ias
The whole loss of men from wounds, sick
ness, captures, stragglers and all other causes,
up to the time OF arriving in front of Sa-
vannah, was only about 1000 The average
daily march was IL miles.
When Savannah was invested the city was
unprepared for q siege and could not hold out
more than few days. Gen. Slocnm's corps
holds all the approaches on the north side Of
the city, including all the railroads leading
out of the town. Gen. Howard's corps con.
meets with his right and swings around to the
Ogeechee River at Fort McAlIister. HGN
hHT The Herald's correspondent says that at
half past four on the morning of the 18th, Gen.
Hazen placed his division in position before
Fort McAllister, with another division Of the
18th corps as support. Theorder was given,
when his gallant division marched at double.

rounding the work, plunged through ditch

bewildered by the sudden sweep of our veter
Grams, surrendered In haste, but others stood
bv their guns and were bayoneted or cut
down. Not over three minutes elapsed after
our veterans leaped over the parapet ere their
cheers announced their work done. Our cap

CONVERSATIONAL.
xxxv11Iru coNGREss.-FIRsT SESSION.

HOUsR.-After our report closed yesterday
The House passed the revenue bill as reported
from the Committee of the Whole on the State
OF the Union, by vote of 81 yeas to 6S nays.
The House resumed the consideration of the
first resolution amendatory OF the Confscatien
act.
MIR. Spaulding indicated an amendment
which he intends TO offer, namely, that no pro-
ceeding shall work any forfeiture of real estate
Of the offender contrary to the provisions of the
Constitution. He expressed his views in favor
of the Constitution, and said he had more respect
for open and avowed traitors In the field than
for their sympathiZers. He was for compelling
the rebels to submit. If this could not be done
he would drive them into extirpation, il not into
determination.
Mr. Stevens denied that the Constitution has
the least reference 10 any of the provisions of
the pending resolution. The forfeiture OF estates
in fee was purely proceeding u nder the laws
OF war and of nations, over which the Consti.
tuition has no control and effect whatever The
property of alien enemies is to be seized and
treated as enemies property.
No further proceedings were had on the first
resolution. --.-
The House, at five O'clock adjourned till
Monday,

MARYLAND LegisIature.

The proceedings of the Legislature on the
Convention bill on Thursday evening and yes
terday were Of more than ordinary interest.
The speech Of Senator Arthur John Willis of
Caroline-a sketch of which will be found in
our columns-we publish rather as q legisla-
tive curiosity than as having any direct bearing
on the bill. He appears to have got through in
a speech of nearly three hours with his entire
stock of well intended defamation, but we
hope he will not further waste the time OF the
Senate by repeating it. An amendment offered
by Mr.. Ricaud to the Convention bill, in rela-
tion to military interference at the polls, and
providing for a new election in such cases was
adopted by ayes 90, nays 1-Mr. Stirling. The
Senate ad djourned to Monday.
In the House of Delegates yesterday, Mr..
Jones offered q series Of resolutions indorsing
the Administration and renominating President
Lincoln for the Presidency. which were adopt
ed, and a disIoyal one OF Mr.. Clauds's, de-
nouncing the Government, was laid over under
the rules. Mr. Murray, of Baltimore, submitted
a resolution for the expulsion OF any msmber
using disloyal language, but the Speaker de-
clared it out of order. The second reading of
the Con yention bill OF MIR. Stockbridge has pro.
eressed as far as the third section. The usual
number of amendments were offered and exp :
tiated upon by those desiring to throw eyery
obs truction in the way OF the sneedy pessaye of
the bill. An amendment to make the Fourth OF
July next the day Of election was defeated
Mr.. Tyson proposed to strike out OF the bill the
whole OF the third secuon-the test oath--a
great hugbear to the opposition members, and
he and Speaker Kemp addressed the House In
favor OF such action, but the House adjourned
without coming to a vote.-Balttmore american.
