Of Savannah on

By the arrival Of Government transport al
Fortress Mubroe last evening, the Govern
ment has received advices from Savannah "a
the "a Of December, that when the steamer
ief, information had reached Savannah thai
sherman's advance cavalry was within 81,
miles Of that city.
This does not connlct with the news brought
by the steamer Belle, which arrived Saturday
night, that the Savannah papers, OF the 3oth
announced that sherman's main army was
within forty miles Of that city. Those paper.
do not state at what date he was that dlstsnc,
from the city.
Two days march would bring the main
army TO within ten miles Of Savannah on
the 1st, so that the news received by the
Government to day Ia not inconsistent nor un,
likely.
Agentleman recently from Savannah informs
us that there are no important dsfenses on the
west side OF sayannsh, so that Sherman ha,
bad easy work in capturing the city, which
he has undoubtedly done before this.

New YORK May q Admiral Porier's
special OF the release Of the Mississippi
squadron, caught by low wafer above the
falls at Alexandria, gives a glowing account
Of how tue feat was performed.
The idea of constructing a dam Ia set
back the water, originated with Lieutenant
Col. Bailey, aud was OF such novel char
acter that il was ridIculed by all The best
engineers. However. at the request Of Ad
miral p, rter, Gen Banks furnished I00U
men 10 perform the work. For eight day
these men worked mp 10 Their neeks IN va
ter, under sc0rchiny SUI, and at tue ex-
piration oi that time, a portion al their
work gave way. Admiral Porter instantly
mounted horse, rode 10 the upper vessels
and ordered the Lexington to pass the falls
ii pos sibl-, aud go through the dsin. She
succeeded in getting over, the lalls, aud
then with full load of steam, steered for
the opening in the dam. All eyes Were
straim 4 to watch her--all hearts beat anx
iously as she neared the opening, where the
water was rushing through lnriously. She
plunged in, went through and rounded tn
safely, amid the cheers OF 1000 soldiers
The others were after much labor III repair
ing the dam, safely brought over IN like

Of our wounded soldiers to the bounty that
is due them, A great many do not know
