PARTICULARS OF THE SURRENDER
OF SAVANNAH.

Sherman's Entrance Into the City-HOw
Hardee Got Away-But One Avenue of
Escape-He is Pushing for Charleston.
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 26-The steamer
California, Captain Godfrey, arrived here at
late hour last evening, in fifty.eight hours
from Fort Pulaski, bringing important des-
patches from General Sherman, and the glo-
rious intelligence and confirmation of the cap
ture OF Savannah on the 2lst instant.
On the goth instant, Major General Sherman,
having nearly completed the in vestment of the
city, and captured Fort Lee and several other
minor outwOrks in the immediate vicinity of
heprincipal entertainments surrounding the
town, and planting his siege batteries in such
close proximity to the rebel lines as to COM
mand etectually fevery position held by the
forces under the command of General Hardee,
sent q summons by flag of truce to the effect
that ii the place was not, in a certain length of
time, surrendered, q ab0mbardment and assault
would be at once commenced.
To this summons the willy rebel General sent
back reply that, as his communications were
yet open, and his men fully supplied with SUBJ
sistence stores of every kind, they were en-
abled to Withstand long siege, and was de-
termined to hold the city oths very last mo-
ment, and defend the citizens and the property
which had been placed under his protection,
until his forces were overpoWered and he be
compelled to surrender.
Eyerypreparation had been made by Sher
man to assault the rebel position the next day
but when the morning OF the 2lst instan
dawned it was ascertained that the enemy had
evacuated their rentrenchments. Several regi-
ments of infantry Immediately advanced and
took possession of them. and shortly AFTER
wards General Sherman entered the city &C
the head of his body, and received from tne
hands of depntation Of its citizens the sur
render of the place.
1t appears that General Hardee, on The night
of the Goth, seeing the impossibility OF -
the city, and fearing that the only means VI
escape left open to him--across the savahnan-
