NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The Herclds cor
respondent from Fort McAlIister and Hill
ton Head, 18th, says: When Gen. Sher-
man arrived in front OF Savannah, after
having marched 800 miles, hts troops In the
meanwhile living on the very best Pr0vi-
sions, he had with him drove of 1900 cat
tie, though he started from Atlanta with
only 200. He also gathered up on the way
over 900 able-bodied negroes, and 80 ma
ny horses, mules and wagons a. to embar-
rass him. His army, during considera-
BILE portion Of the march, extended over .
sweep Of country 60 miles in breadth-as
much 40 10 miles ut times intervening be-
tween the right wing Of one column and
left of the other, but communication was
at all tunes kept between the two. His
whole loss in men, from the time of leav-
ing Atlanta to his arrival in front Of Sa-
vannah, from wounds, sickness, capture,
struggling, and all other causes, was only
about 1000. The average daily march was
about II miles.
When the city Of Savannah was invested
by Sherman, 1t was unprepared for siege.
and it was believed that Ii could not hold
out more than q few days at fArthest. Gen.
Slocum holds all the approaches on the
north side OF the city, including all rail-
roads leading out OF the town, and Gen.
Howard's army connects with his right

fort, 10 feet in height, and with . yell
swarmed into the works, updsr hot fire,
which, while it cut down many, failed to
check the advance, and the work was ours.
Most Of the garrison, bewildered by the
sudden sweep OF our veterans, surrendered
in haste, but others stood by their guns.
and fought uutil they were cut down. Not
over three minutes elapsed after our vster-
ans scaled the parapet before three cheers
announced the work done to the eager
troops stationed around the doomed city.
Our captures were 200 prisoners, 81 heavy

supplies. This leaves an open port FOX
