also for laying facts before the European

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.
The Richmond Dispatch of December
second, has the following:
A cavalry fight in which we were vic
torious, took place in East Georgia, on
Tuesday.
The Yankee cavalry under Fitzpatrick,
we're attempting to cross the Savannah
river, when they we're attacked by Wheeler
snd after an obstinate fight were driven
back in the direction of Millen, losing
very heavily.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the second,
also says: Shermsn's main army is
moving toward the coast, and battle Is
expected.
From the Richmond Wing of December
second:
Tt does not seem that our authorities
have any suspicion of the effect the move
ment of Hood would have, at least we
Judge so, from the very feeble opposition
which has thus far been made TO the ad-
vance of Sherman.
1t is plain that he is moving to the coast,
and that he hss been enabled to live upon
the country.
We think It probable that Sherman will
reach the Atlantic IN comparative safety.
His next move, In our opinion, will be BY
sea, to Richmond 31
We de not believe he can succeed IN
taking either Augusta or Savannah In
deed, should he succeed in capturing the
first named place, it will do him no good,
since he will find there nothing he was
seeking. At the last named place, he will
have 70 fight, and Of that he is well aware,
and does not wish TO do so, before securing
q base upon the sea.
Charleston, for the present, at least, We
think to be entirely out Of the question.
Should he determine TO secure himself on
the sea, and thence issue during the winter
to ravsgethe country, or carry on q resu-
lar winter campaign, ne must be kept in, as
we suppose be can. In the meantime, he
abandons large tract Of country in the
interior, over which it is impossible, that
his army situated on the ocean, and closely
watched, can exercise any influence for
good or evil. hs- -r
We d. not see that Shermsn's last ex-
ploits will have sny effect upon the issue
Of the war, but after having been told by
the highest authority in the Confedersey,
that his retreat from Atlaata was to be
more disastrous than the retreat Of Napo-
leon from Moscow. 1t is a little vexatious
to find him getting of so chesply. Burn
ing and numbering as he goes.

SECOND DISPATCH.

Special Dispatch to the Cleveland LEABER-l
WASHINGTON, Dec. T.
The following paragraph is an extract
from letter from General Frank Blair to
his father, written before he started on his
march through rebeldom:
HMr. Lincoln has received an almost
unanimous vote from this camp. I felt
very confident of this many months ago,
and the most gratifying feature about the
whole thing is that no effort upon the part
Of any officer of rank has been made to
influence the vote of the troops. They
have voted their own unbiased sentiments,
and even the few who have voted for Nc
CleIlsn done so without any attempt to
to ieer at them, or deter them from an ex-
preston of their sentiments. The men
who are fighting for our institutions, show
their true appreciation of them by tolsrst-
ing their opponents"
Forney's party last night was brilliant
gathering Of incoming politicians, with
military and naval dignitsries. The oc-
cssion was made especially noteworthy by
the marked honors paid to General Han
cock His health having been proposed in
q happy speech by the host, he sot out Of
making speech in reply by the orthodox
plan, tO-Wit telling story. 1t was about
the bravery of young soldier who had
lain six days inside the enemy's lines with
out food or water rather than surrender,
and had finally crawled of, bringing all
his arms with him. The General said he
had recommended him for q medal, and
the crowd of dignitaries vociferously en-
dorsed the recommendation.
General Tom Cr1ttenden also made q
speech, in which he took care of kentucky.
The pretensions to foreshsdow the Pres
idenfs message have thus far beer the sor-
riest guesses, with which it is not worth
while to burden the wires. Thus far, the
President has been extremely retieent to
the newly arrived Congressmen as to what
hsimeans to say.
james Watson Webb's letter to the Bra
lillian Government concerning tho seizure
of thep pirate Florida in Brazilian waters,
of course, indicates the intertion Of the
Government to make any possible repsra-
ton. Its protest, however, against the
recognition of rebel belligereni rights is
highly praised.
The excitement about the Chief Justice
ship runs high to-day. The Pres dent has
been going to give prominent COng ressmen
the reasons why he should not appoint
Chase, and Senators and Representatives
are in great commotion over it. Only
three names are mentioned besid that Of
Chase, and of those three the name Of
Montgomery Blair heads the list. The
other two are Judges Davis and Sgaine.

From the Richmond Dispatch Of De-
cember second:
Seven hundred prisoners have been re-
eeiyed at Augusta, who were captured
while foraging for Sherman g arny.
The Governor has pardoned ali the con-
victs in the Penitentiary, put arms in their
hands and sent them to the front. Except
those in for life, whom he could not re-
prieVe according to law. -llr-
Heavy cannOnading was hesrd all day
yesterday afternoon in the direction of
Macon, which was believed to be a battle
between Sherman and our forces.
A letter in the Augusta Chronicle, from
a member Of the Georgia Legislature,
giving his experience in escaping from
Sherman's army, he and others having
been taken across the country, shows the
extent of the devastation inflicted On the
country. He says; Going to McCreddls's
place we found his fine house in ashes, and
his gin-house burned, and every horse and
mule gone. In his lot there were about
one hundred cattle lying dead They
looked ike good stock and were evidently
killed to deprive the planters OF them.
Proceeding on we found every plantation
on the road similarly desolated, except
that no other dwelling houses were burned
until we reached the fine mansion Of Hon.
Joshua Hill, which Is q perfect wreck A
large gin-house full of cotton, -corE-CTfDs,
&c, were destroyed. His loss is gre9ter
than that Of any planter in this section
Besides the cotton, several thousand bush
els Of corn, potatoes, wheat and other val.
liable property, with their horses, mules,
and many negroes, are gone. They raw
aged the country below here TO the Oco-
nee river, and the roads were streWn with
the debris Of their progress, Dead horses,
cows sheep, hogs, chickens, corn, wheat,
cotton, broken vessels, cofee-miIs, and
fragments Of nearly every specie Of pro-
perty we're streWn along the way.
In Msdison they burned the depot and
one or two old houses, with the market
house They gutted the stores and plum
dered more or less in every block They
fred several stores and houses, and their
officers with a show Of magnanimity aided
to put out the flames.
Many families have not a pound Of meat
or peck Of meal or -four. Many negroes
we're taken from homes Of comfort to share
the uncertain fortune of 8 winter month, to
the coast, and there forced to be slaves.
Families of wealth have not a house or ser
want left them, and those who were most
tlusly were often the first 10 leave.
