u To Hon. Gideon Welies, Secretary of the
Many lit is my happiness to apprise the De-
partment that Gen. Sherman, with his army,
is near Savannah, and am in communication
with him. In view Of his probable arrival
had stationed several steamers at different
points, and had come down from the Tetafin-
ny yesterday In order to be at hand. 1 had
not to wait many hours. This morning about
eight o'clock the Dandelion arrived, with
Capt. Duncan and two scouts, Sergt M. j.
Emmick aud Geo. w. Quimby, bearing the
following lines from Gen. Howard. This dis.
patch was received this morning and printed
in the morning papers.) - Iiams 66f
Capt. Duncan states that our forces were In
contact with the rebels few miles outside Of
Savannah. He says Sherman's army Is not ia
want of anything. Perhaps no event could
give greater satisfaction to the country than
that which l announce, and / beg leave to
congratulate the United States government
on the occurrence.
It may perhaps be exceeding my province,
but l cannot refrain from expressing the hope
that the Department will commend Captain
Duncan and his companions to the Hon. Sec
rotary of War for some mark of appreciation
for their success In establishing communica-
ton between Gen. Sherman and the feet 1t
was an enterprise that required both skill and
courage. a. 81 v4f9TlTuE2 EF

That Gen. Sherman had captured Savannah
before the steamer which brought the dis
patches from Dahlgren had fairly got out of
the harbor of Port Royal is probable, from the
fact that the messenger who reached here this
morning, says that when coming out of the
harbor, and when too late to communicate by
signals, the whole feet began to fire salute.
Upon looking toward the vessels, they were
being gaily decorated with flags. 1t was the
| opinion on board the steamer that since she
left the wharf news had reached the Admiral

Rosseau, and those dreams which some have
cherished of the primitive simplicity and in
nocence OF the native African. The pictures
fpresd before us are revolving in nearly every
feature. The grandeur or beauty of the see

part OF the route, only heighten by contrast
the rudeness aod barbarism of the native
character. Captain Speke maintains that
only such government as England has estab-

claims OF Christianity as civihzing agent,

respect.
