The ssnatorship:: william Pitt Fesssnden.

The Senatorship: William Pitt Fessenden.
The commanding talents, the large expert
ence, and eminent fitness of this gentleman
for representing our State in the Senatorial
Chamber at Washington, being conceded on
all hands, two other questions arise;
Have we any good reason to believe
that he would like to go back to the Senate
Chamber2 His Immediate friends declare
that he LEFT 1t most unwillingly, against his
own convictions, and only because, under the
pressure Of great emergency, the President
called him away. And we all know the terms
npon which he consented to accept the Office
he now holds; and that the change was under-
stood to be temporary. aIagissb
2.-What are his claims? Without under
valuing Vice President Hamlin-fcr We have
the highest opinion of his talents and patriot
ism-may we not urge, as well nigh conclus-
sive, that if Mr.. Fessenden had refused the
Secfetaryship, and continued in the Senator
ship, nobody would have thought of running
against him? And il. SO, would it be fair p.
would it be decent for US to abandon him, af-
ter such sacrifce-a sacrifice OF health and
inclination s-as he made for his country just
when no other man was called for, or thought

The Fall of Savannah.


3. To-day is doubly a holiday. Observed
throughout the North as the anniversary of
peace, it will be given new Joy by the blood
less triumph Of war. The flag will float more
proudly to-day everywhere, because it once
more waves over Savannah. That city is
SHERMAN's Christmas gift to the nation.
(. We cannot yet appreciate the greatness Of
its value. Its capture shows the colossal strides
of the war in this year, and nobly closes the
series of grand, decisive victories that crown
it, No point on the Atlantic coast is worth
SO much as base of future operations, and
though Hardee with bis fifteen thousand men
has probably escaped, this loss is Of the slight
est comparative Importance. Though we have
taken one hundred and fifty guns, and thirty
three thousand bales of cotton, Nth vGst
quantities of other material, ,ohich scM
s,oeu the pecunia,y ualue Of the prize to the
Gouernnert at least an hundred millions of
dollars even this is a trife to its inestimable
worth as new basis of the war. 1t is ours
beyond the danger. Of loss. We can hold il
with ease, and establish 1t as a base in the
heart of the rebellion, influencing the whole
war. From that point all our armies in the
Cotton States, and all that are to go to them,
will be easily supplied, with speed and safety.
Sherman at Atlanta threatned the interior, but
he had his lines of communication to protect,
all the way to Nashville; but rebel cavalry,
bad roads, and distance are embarrassments
removed by the capture of Savannah. 1t has
no rear to be protected. It is a fortress sea-
ward and landward, commanding the entrance
to. the productive States of the rebellion, and
railroad lines along the coast. 1t solves the
problem of coast attack. Charleston, defyiDg
bombardment, must fall now. Sherman will
speedily attack It. Thence we strike at all the
-<ailEoads leading north and west, and break.
down the Atlantic entrenchments of the reb-
ellion. When Atlanta was taken, September
23d, we pointed out that Savannah would be
the next city Sherman would attack. We now
predict that he will in few months restore us
the whole coast " as Sizes
The capture of Savannah is probably the
most valuable of all our victories. Others
have had far greater Immediate results, as Get
tysburg which saved Pennsylvania, and Nash
vile which crushed whole army at q blow !.
