was received last night from Port Royal
Harbor via Fortress Monroe:

A bearer Of dispatches from Dah!gren ar
rived here this morning with the follow.
ing important despatch for the Sec'y Of the
Navy:
FLAG STEAMER PHILADELPHIA, PoR1
ROYAL, Dec. l2.-Gideon Veiles, Sec'y Q,
the Ndpy-SIR: It il my happiness to APP
prise the Department, that General Sher-
man with his army is near Savannah, and
am in communication with him. In
view Of his probable arrival, had station.
ed several steamers at different points and
had come down from the Telaterrny yes
terday, in order to be at hand. had not
been here many hours. when this morning
about o clock, the Dandelion arrived with
Capt. Duncan and two scouts, Sergt MyrOn
J. Emmerick and Glen, bearing the follow.
ing lines from Gen. Howard:
Head Quarters Dept. Army Of the Ten
nessee, near Savannah To Commander
.
SIx:-We have met with perfect success,
thus far; troops il fine spirits and near by.
Respectfully, O. o. HOWARD,
Mai. General.
Capt. Duncan states that our forces were
in contact with the rebels few miles out
side of Savannah. He says Sherman's
army is not in want Of any thing. Perhaps
the country than that which announce,
and I beg to congratulate the government
on its occurrence. shall not refrain from
expressing the hope that the Department
will commend Capt. Duncan and his COM
panions to the Hon. Sec'y of War, for some
mark of appreciation, for their success in

terprise that required both skill and cour-
age. (Signed) ]. A. DAHLGREN,
Rear Admiral.
The following extract from letter from
Gen. Sherman, written before he started
upon his march, shows not only that he
reached the point at which he aimed, but
that be accomplished the difficult work
some twelve or fourteen days earlier than
he expected:
KINGSTON, Ga, Nov. 3.-To Capt. Pen

my old friend D. D. Porter again. Will
you be kind enough to write aRd tell him
to look for me about Christmas, from Hill

W.. T. SHERMAN, Mai. Gen.
That Sherman had captured Savannah
before the steamer which brought the above
despatch had fairly got out Of Port Royal.
il probable from the fact that the messenger
who reached here this morning, says when
coming out Of the harbor, and when too
late to communicate by signals, the whole
fleet began to fire salute, and the vessels
