The War News.

The news from Sherlnan's Expedition
grows more definite and reliable. The news
OF last evening, of the arrival at Savannah,
and the heavy fighting there, is through r. b.
ell sources, and we may be sure they will
put the affair in its worst light for our side.
We hope to hear that Savannah with ito en-
tire garrison has fallen into the hands OF
Sherman. There is little change to note in
the situation in and around Nashville The
armies of Thomas and Hood are confronting
eachother. 1t is expected that Thomas will
soon take the offensive and compel Hood to
fight or skedaddle. Our letter from Nash
vile will be read with interest. The weather
for week past has prevented operations III
this department.
Around Richmond and Petersburg, altho'
there has been no grand movement, great
ac,ivityhas prevailed, Two expeditions have
been sent out--one to Stony Creek, and the
other as far south as Hicks Station, on the
Weldon Railroad. Both were successful.
the latter, Warren's expedition, made rap
id march of SO miles, destroyed three bridg-
s,over 20 miles of railroad, large amount Of
forage and other stores, burned Sussex Court
House, captured score or two Of prisoners
and returned to camp with triaing loss

Sherman at STANDARDIZATION Fighting.
Union Loss g. 5OO-..Rebel Loss 5000 or 1900.

9tHI New YORK, December IA
g The Wortd'S Washington special has an
account of battle in front of Savannah OH
Saturday, the 10th, which he says comes
direct from loyal resident of Richmond,
He says twenty thousand of Sherman's men
at an early hour, crossed the Ogechee river
below Bloomingdale, some twelve miles
south of Savannah, and massing between
that point and Telfair, the left wing extern
ded so as 70 cut the Charleston and Savan-
nah Railroad. Communication had been
effected the preceding day with General
Foster, who was again rapidly advancing
on Grahamsville, the rebels retreating from
their strong positions south Of Pocotaligo
Bridge, and evidently alarmed at finding
themselves threatened both in front and rear
by superior forces.
Sherman who was on the field, found
himself confronted by large force of regu-
lars and militia intrencked The battle be-
gan early in the day, and was contested
with great fury on both sides, the garrison
Of Savannah, numbering 10000 veterans
participating. Towards noon grand
charge was made by the Union troops which
carried some of the works on the euemy's
left and centre, threatening to cut him off
from the inlet and city. This was followed
by an advance of the whole line, which
doubled up the rebel forces i'll confusion, and
they fell back to the immediate vicini
ty of the works in the rear of Savannah.
Our troops pursued to Telfair, on the south,
and corresponding distance along the upper
railroad. Here our troops rested. finding the
enemys works very strong, and our men,
from heavy march the previous night and
the severe fighting, being worn out. The
loss was severe on both sides-2,5U Union
and between 5000 and 1000 rebels, among
whom were fully 1900 prisoners. inciudin 2
many officers of rank. Coors, cannon,
small arms, wagons and caissons were cap
tured. Smith, Hardee aud Cobb were in
command of the rebels, whose loss at first
was less than ours, owing to their protection,
but at the close of the action they suffered
tremendously. 1t is believed all the rebels
at the head of the inlet, four or five thous-
and, would he captured.
The facts, says the Worlds correspondent,
have been carefully concealed by the rebel
authorities. The greatest CONSERVATION
prevailed at Charleston.
The last advices left Sherman close to the
coast, either able to form junction with
Foster and the fleet, or to attack Savannah
with prospects of success. ~

correspondence of the Kenosha Telegraph
NASHVILLE, Dec. 4th 1854,
Messrs Editors.
ms has beena day of excitement and
unusual interest with the many. sided people
OF this city During the whole day heavy
sk'rmlshlng has been going on between the
contending armies of Thomas and Hood.
Crowds of people during the day may have
been seen on Capitol Hill eager to catch a
glimpse through the smoky atmosphere of
the
"Battls's maenifcently stern array
and with some difficulty the strong lines of
the Union army can be made out stretching
in lines of bristleing bayont is from the river
on the east to the river on the west This
line extends in length from, ten to fifteen
miles and from two to six miles from the
city limits. 1t would not be proper to state
if l knew, the number of our forces, but
they are sufficient to take care of Nashville,
and if we are not mistaken, destroy Hood
and his army, said now to number from
$4,000 to 10000 men. To day every person
who has no permanent employment has
been pressed to work on the trenches, this
is right, more especially as the city is filled
with these gentry, the major part of
whom are ''rebs," who have fled the merci-
CHESS CONSUMPTION of their friends, to fight
for whom, they are too great towards.
Rebel prisoners who were captured by our
forces in the recent fight at franklin, re-
port that Hood declared that he would take
Nashville or de-" We have no doubt as
regards the latter event, but we have doubts
of the occurrence of the former. The re-
cent desperate battle at Franklin, to us
would indicate that Hood would make a
rash attempt to capture the Crock City"
The heavy skirlnishing that has been going
on for the last forty-eight hours is in accord
with this view, and terrible battle is ex-
pected to commence at any moment. We
went up to the Capitol to-day for an hour,
listened to the the distant booming of the
guns of the diminishing forces Away to
the south and west, could .be seen through
the smoky haze, the strong lines of the
Union army in battle order. Between these
and the base Of our observation, were scat
tered about the numerous camps and wagon
trains of the army. 1t was indeed a strange
scene for person just from the peaceful
North and one could hardly realize that at
almost any moment might commence the
terrible work of blood and carnage, which
should decide the fate Of Nashville, and the
brave army defending it.
Let not loyal hearts despond, Our cause
is in the hands of wise and brave leaders,
and with such to command, the good cause
must prevail,
