ssly@ The trial OF DANIEL NcHENRY
one of the prisoners from this County, as
fixed for last Tuesday at Harrisburg
His witnesses went down for the second
timo, one hundred miles at heavy expense,
but the case was postponed until after
the election. No day for another appear
ance was fixed but it may be Thursday,o
next week. The Def fendatt was anxi xicus
for trial, for WHICH he has been waiting
sour weeks, but the the Judge Advocate
was not ready. In fact that officer was
heard to declare in language more strong
than elcgant;that his evidence against Nc
Henry was not worth d-m. The delay
OF this trial only postpones little the iull
explosion of the imposture of "Knights oi
the Golden Circle" or Secret Oath-boupd
Societies to resist the draft, which never
having any exist euce in this county, can
not endure an investigation even before a

PORT ROYAL, Dec. 25-The capture OF Sa-
vannah has been succeeded by the calm which
follows victory. Bnt there are indications
that the military inactivity OF the past few
days will soon result in important offensive
operations. The fortunes OF the rebellion In
Georgia and South Carolina, at least, ara
staked in some immediate operations; and the
prestige and triumphs of General Sherman
will admittedly urge him to complete the work
he began.
General Hardee's army, which mum oered
1900. is said to have been reduced to 3,O0O. Ia
the evacuation Of the city, the Georgia militia
and other organizations proceeded TO different
parts of the State, and the residue OF 3eOO it is
row positively known, marched by an un-
tTequented route to Charleston with General
HarGee. There was an impression that Gen.
Hardee had intended to attack General Fosters
troops near the Broad River landing, and re-
inforcPments were at once sent there by Gene
raj Sherman. but the enemy was not seen.
There are several steamers now plying be-
tween the cities of Savannah and Port Royal.
Admiral Dahlpren with a portion Of the fleet,
sailed up the river yesterday. In addition to
the $4,000 bales Of cotton Captured, about
So, ,OGp.0O0 worth of rice has ben discovered.
The Provost Marshals guard still protects the
city.
From refugees from Rebeldom to Beau
fort we learn that the enemy anticipates an
attack on Charleston by General Sherman's
army.
Last Sunday General Sherman attended st =
Johns Episcopal Church in Savannah The
edifice is located nearly opposite his head
quarters large number of troops and
citizens were present, and a fraternal feel
ing prevailed among the worshippers. The
city is remarkable tor it's quietness and good
order.
A number OF Gen Sherman's troops are now
engaged in repairing the railroad from Savan.
nah to Charleston, which was previously de-
stroyed.
