Our New Suit.

As promised short time since, we
this week present the Intclligencer in
a new dress. 1t is now printed on
new, clear and beautiful type, and
makes a neat and tasty appearance.
We are enabled to make these improve
ments through the kind and liberal
patronage extended to us the past year.
Should this liberality be continued,
and we trust it will be, we shall from
time to time make still further improve
ments, both cditorially and mechanic
ally, and hope that, at no distant day,
the Ltclligencer will stand unrivalled,
in beauty and excellence, among all
the newspapers of the Great West.

Wilmington.

The importance of the capture of
Wilmington can hardly be exaggera-
ted. Probably three-fourths of the
supplies for the rebel army that have
come from abroad have been run into
this port. From the nature of the
coast and the number of channels to
be guarded, it has been an impossibili-
ty to make the blockade of Whining
ton effectual, and it has been for a
long time the purpose of the Govern
ment to effect its capture at the carli-
est moment. The naval force now
sent under Admiral Porter is large
enough to accomplish this purpose.
The difficulties in the way of an ap.
proach to Wilmington are numerous
and formidable, but we have the ut
most confidence that the skill and dar-
ing of our naval officers will overcome
them all. ...
Gen. Butler, in conjunction with
Gen. Weitzel, has gone down the coast
with large fleet, and left Gen. Ord
in command of his department for a
brief space. The presumption is that
General Butler will cooperate with
Admiral Porter in the capture of Will
mington.
The Richmond papers state that, on
the 23d, twenty-six vessels Of the Will
mington expedition had re-appearcd.
Charles City intelligencer., 1864-12-29
The Situation.

There has been no time since the
war commenced more bright with pres
ent victory and glorious promise than
the present. The great movements
going on bid fair to put the rebellion
hors du combat in a very short time.
While Grants army holds Lee at Rich
mond, and prevents his sending troops
to exposed points, the armies of Sher-
man and Thomas, with other smaller
cooperating forces, and a new naval
and land expedition that has just left
for the Southern coast, arc destroying
the armies of the Central States of the
Confedcracy, devastating its territory,
and SO bisecting it that the Govern
ment at Richmond will soon lose all
connection with their subjects outside
OF Lees lines.-Chicago Journal.

Liberty is one of the dearest bless

ded down to us. 1t was purchased by
the blood of many a valiant revolu-
tionary hero has been guarded by a

violent attacks of Group, and is indis-
pensable in every family of children.
Colds, sudden coughs, sore throat,
hoarseness, and inflamed lungs, are in
stantly and surely cured by its timely
use. No cough mixture has ever
been known that equals it, which ac-
counts for its great popularity with
all classes. The young and old-the

Dispatch from Gen. Sherman

An official dispatch from General
Sherman has been received by the War
Department, dated midnight, Decem-
ber Is, on gunboat Donelson, Ossa-
baw Sound. 1t was written before
General Foster had reached him. He
reports, besides some military details
of future operations, which are omit
ted, the following:
To-day, at in the afternoon, Gen.
Havens' division of the 18th Corps car
ried Fort McAllister by assault, cap
turing its entire garrison and stores.
This opened to us the Ossabaw Sound,
and passed down to this gunboat to
communicate with the fleet Before
opening communication we had COM
pletely destroyed all railroads leading
into Savannah, and invested the city.
The left is on the Savannah river, ten
miles above the city, and the right on
the Ogechee at Kings Bridge.
The army is in splendid order, the
weather fine, and supplies abundant.
Our march was most agreeable and
not molested by guerrillas. We reach
ed Savannah three days ago, but ow-
ing to Fort McAllister we could not
communicate but now we have Fort
McAllister, we can go ahead. We
have captured two boats on the Savan-
nah river, and prevented their gun
boats from coming down. The esti-
mated population of Savannah is 25,
900, and the garrison $4,000. Gener-
al Hardee commands.
We have not lost a wagon on the
trip, but have gathered in large sup
ply of negroes, mules and horses. Our
teams are in better condition than
when we started. My first duty will
be to clear the army of superfuous ne
grose, mules and horses. have utter
ly destroyed over 200 miles of rail-
road, and consumed, all the stores and
provisions essential to the armies of
Lee and Hood.
The quick work made with Fort
McAllister, and the opening of com
munication with our feet, and conse-
quent independence for supplies, dissi-
pates all the rebel threats to head me
off and starve the army. / regard
Savannah as already gained.
Yours truly,

nouncing his occupation of the city of

An official dispatch from Foster to
Gen. Grant, dated the 22d inst, states

pied by Gen. Sherman ON the morning

From General Sherman.

Below we give some details of Gen
Sherman's grand march through the
heart of the Southern Confederacy.
The army moved 800 miles, devasta-
ting forty-two counties, capturing
1000 prisoners, 1000 negroes, Is, 900
horses, and 80 pieces of artillery.
Sherman lost not gun, and our en-
tire casualties were only about 500
prisoners from struggling and 800 or
400 killed and wounded, including the
loss at Fort McAllister. Fitzpatrick
defeated Wheeler in skirmish near
Macon, and could easily have taken
the city had Sherman desired it. The
rebel resistance at Oconee bridge
caused but few hours delay AT
Griswoldville, where the rebels are
reported as having repulsed us, one of
our Observation-Disclosures of the 18th
Corps defeated three rebel brigades,
under Gen. Phillips, we losing only 81
men and the rebels nearly 400. The
rebel militia stood but fifteen minutes,
though the battle lasted four hours,
our forces constantly following up the
flying foe. There was not serious
battle during the whole march Our
Cavalry was not at any time rppulSpd
nor was Fitzpatrick hurt. He had sew
eral small fights, but still wears the
same hat with which he started from
Atlanta.
