sherman's Progress.

NEW York, Dec. I've have to-day soma
additional items from rebel sources showing
how the fright at Sherman's approach to the
sea coast is spreading in Georgia and South
Carolina. All the officials, civil and military.
have issued fierce and feverish prOcIamations,
calling on every male, old and young. able to
shoulder musket, to Immediately report for
duty. The Mayors Of Savannah and Charles
ton, as well as the rebel army officers comman
ding in those places, have issued before their
already terrified communities, documents of
this character-probably by this means adding
considerably to the panic. Gov. Brown, Of
Georgia, has issued three more preclamatious
on the crisis but in Savannah, according to
the Republican of that city, even these stir
ring papers do not bring out the citizens; for
it appears a military gaurd has to 90 round
the town and drag them out of their hiding
places.
Cen Dick Taylor has been assigned to the
command of all the Alabama and Georgia Re
serves, with headquarters at Savannah.
The Macon Telegraph Of November 25th
says: Sherman's situation is daily growing
more precarious, and we may confidently hope
for his complete overthrow and destruction.
The Central Railrod is said to be entirely
destroyed by him, between GriswOldville and
McIntire.
NEW YORK, Dec. THE steam ship Full
ten, which has been specially detailed, will
leave this port tomorrow with a heavy mail
for Gen. Sherman's army. She goes under
sealed orders, as the exact point Of Sherman's
arrival on the coast, has not yet been divulg-
ed.

THE NEWs.

Since our last there has been no material
change in the military situation, as regards the
armies under Grant and Thomas, and nothing
definite has been heard. from Sherman
At date of last advices from Nashville
Gen. Thomas had his forces within the en-
trenehments surrounding the city, TO which he
had fallen back after his victory over Hood at
Franklin. The rebel army was in the immedi-
ate vicinity engaged ip throwing up entrench-
ments, bat showing no indications of dispo-
sition to make an attack. Being far removed
from their sources of supply, to remain long
where they are win be exceedingly hazardous.
and to venture an attack on Thomas within
his works would be a desperate undertaking.
Nashville would be handsome prize for Hood
could be capture it, but with the brave and
skillful Thomas defending it there is little cause
for apprehension as to its safely. 1t Is inti-
mated that Thomas will very soon be in
condition to warrant his assuming the offensive
From Grants army there is nothing new
The impression has been very general of late
that he meditates q formidable movement
soon, and the rebels share in the apprehension
of impending danger TO their capital It is
likely that if a movement is made it will be
dependent upon operations elsewhere, and es-
pecially the results of Sherman's march through
Georgia.
OF Sherman's precise position it is impossi-
BILE to judge with certainty. The Richmond
papers are guardedly reticent, but their fail
urezto claim important victories is evidence
that he has as yet met no serious Disaster
The Georgia papers, however, are less guard |
ed, and from them enough is learned to render |
it certain that our forces were about The Ist /
inst. nearing the coast in the vicinity of Sa-
vannah, that city probably being The point
aimed at. A considerable force and formid-
able feet of gunboats are stationed on the
coast to cooperate as soon as opportunity Of
fers.
The rebels claim victory at point called
Grahamsville, on the Charleston and Savannah
railroad; but as they acknowledge a loss of
nearly 700 men and admit our forces stood
their ground and werereeeiving reinforcements
to renew the attack, it is not probable their
victory was a very decisive one. Our forces
engaged in this fight we're sent out from Hilton
Head.
The victory OfThomas over Hood at Frank
lin loses nothing in Importance as the details
come in. The rebel assault upon our lines
was furious, and their loss fearful The des-
peration with which they fought may be in t
ferred from their loss of officers, no less than I
ZEN of their Generals being killed or wounded,
aud ia of their commissioned officers being .
included among the prisoners captured. /
Things remain quiet in the Shenandoah val. t
ley. The probability is that the force on both
sides has been materially lessened by with =
drawals to other points.
Gen. Rosecrans has been relieved from COM e
mand in Missouri, and Gen. Steele has also F
been relieved in Arkansas. 1t has not trans :
pired what disposition is to be made of either !;

CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE u. S. SUPREME
CoURT.-The telegraph Tuesday morn
ing brought the gratifying intelligence
that Hon. S. P. CHASE had been ap-
pointed to the vacant Chief Justiceship
of the U. S. Supreme Court. On being
sent to the Senate it was taken up i'm
mediately and without the usual formality
of being sent to committee confirmed
by unanimous vote-a fattering indi-
cation of the favorable light in which
the appointment was regarded by the dis
tinguished gentlemen composing that
august body. We took occasion a few
weeks since to give our views as to the
peculiar qualifications of Mr.. Chase for
the place and the propriety of the ap-
pointment. A more suitable selection
could not have been made, or one that
will give more universal satisfaction
throughout the country; and in making
the appointment the President has done
credit to himself and conferred another
high honor upon our State by elevating
to an exalted position her most distin-
guished citizen

CoNGREss-The second session of the 3sth
Congress commenced Monday. There was a
ident's Message not having been sent in till
Tuesday, business did not fairly commence till
Wednesday, and up to last advices nothing
of special Importance had transpired. Being
a short session it must necessarily be a work
ing one, if the interests of the country are
properly cared for. There is every reason to
believe that the Union members will work
together harmoniously. and gratifying results
may therefore reasonably be anticipated from
their labors
