FROM SAVANNAH.
FORTRESS MoERoE, Dec. II, /
via BALTIMORE. Dec. II.

via BALTIMORE, Dec. II. !
The steamers Northern Light and Va
runa arrived here from Charleston Hsrbor
at a late hour last evening, with 500 re-
leased Federal prisoners each.
After landing the mails and dispatches
they proceeded Immediately to Annapolis,
Maryland.
The news brought by these steamers is Of
the most encouraging character.
AT the time of their sailing all the rig
ging of the men-of-#ar sud other vessels
composing Admiral Dahlgren's feet were
gaily hung with colors, in token of the sue
cess Of some movement of Gsneral sher-
man, the exact nature Of which could not
be learned.
Our exchanged men are loud in their
praise of the successes attending the gloEi-
Gus campaign of Sherman, and say that
from their conversations with some citizens
of Charleston and the surrounding country,
while en- route to be exchanged, it was re-
luctantly admitted that the damage done
by his forces on the line Of march through
Georgia was incalculable.
No doubt whatever is entertained at
Hilton Head that shsrman will capture
Savannah, with very little loss.
The authorities and citizens of Charles
ton and Savannah are making strenuous
efforts to defend those cities. Every rebel
capable of holding musket is in the ranks,
and every moment they expect to be
brought in contact with the victorious
forces under 6hermsn.
The few Federal officers who are psssen-
gers on the Northern Light, and who have
been recently exchsDged, are confident in
their assertions that the troops defending
Savannah and Charleston are of q very
undisciplinsd character, and that when the
outer Entertainments surrounding these
places are once forced, as they will un-
doubtedly be, there is nothing further to
obstruct the victorious Sherman from tax
| ing possession of both cities.

To-day, st five o'clock P. II, General

turing its entire garrison and stores. This
opened TO us the Osssbsw Sound, and we
pushed down TO this gunboat to communi-
cate with the feet. Before opening COM
munication, we had completely destroyed
all the railroads leading into Savannah,
and invested the city.
The left is on the Savannah river,
some miles above the city, and the
right, on the Ogeechee, at Kings Bridge.
The army is in splendid order. The
weather is fine and supplies abundant.
Our march was most agreeable, and not
molessted by guerrillss. We reached Ss-
vsnnah three days ago, but owing to Fort
McAllister could not communicate, but
now that we have McAllister we can 20

We have already captured two boats on
