SKETCH OF SAVANNAH, GA.
We have often described the city Of SaEnn-
nan, and our readers arc doubtless familiar
, Win rs general features. These descriptions
ave neen chiefly devoted to giving view OF
ne hatbor defenses, no attack ever having
oeen made or imagined from the rear. Ihe
eNy is onut On sandy plain, but slightly eie-
Tated above the level Of the tide, and has
oeen considered unhealthy on account Of tho
sMamPs In Its rear. It is, consequently, not
ADMIRABLY suited for defenses commanding
me land approaches. Fortidcations have,
however, been built, but not very great IN
extent, and arc at this time incomplete, T"o
years ago the rebel General Government threw
soea obstacles in the why Of tho building Of
lortlncat tlons commanding the land dupproaches
as 10 cal forth the most bitter denunc1auons
rom Governor Brown and General E. W.
Mercer, commanding the city. Very few
troops were in the city at the time General
sherman began his march, and VIC have no
posltlfe assurance that the garrison Las been
reinforced duii ing the present emergency.

The AnEIo-Rebel Peace Address.
About six weeks ago Mr.. Joseph Parker, Of
Manchester, England, arrived at New York,
bringing with him the peace address Of the
subjects Of Great Britain and Ireland, with a
letter from Sir Henry De Houghton to Coy
ernor Seymour, who declined formally to re-
ceIve 1t, assigning as rcason that it should
be given 10 the President Of the United
States, the latter being the only authorized
channel Of communication between other na-
lions and the citizens Of the United States );
and besides, Governor Seymour said his oiti-
cial position did not authorize him to accept
the address In behalf of other States, and that
1t would be better to withhold the document
until after the Presidential election, SO as to
ayoid the appearance Of interfering with the
CANVASS. Mr.. Parker conforned TO these sug-
gestiops, and having arrived here last We.k,
addressed note to Secretary Seward, stating
that he had been deputed to this country to
convey the address to the people of the Uni-
ted States, and asked the honor of the oppor-
tunity Of presenting 1t to the Prcsident. To
this The Secretary replied that, before an
swering the letter, it Was desirable to be tur-
ther informed whether Mr. Parker naa aa.
thority from the government Of Great Britain
and Ireland for the purpose referred to, and
whether his mission had been made known to
the diplomatic agent Of that government near
the government Of the United States. Mr.
Parker replied BY saying that the address be
had the honor Of bringing to this country,
containing the signatures Of some three hun
dred and fifty thousand Of his countrymen,
from the peer to the artisan, was not from
the government Of Great Britain, nor from
any political party. It was simply an express
sion Of the earliest desire Of Great Britain to
see peace restored again to this continent.
The correspondence closed by note from
the Secretary Of State, in which he said the
government Of the United States could not
receive the address, and that the request for
IN interview with the President was there
fore declined. This address has alreany been
published, and Is signed by many Southern
sympathizers, who ask the government of the
United States to cease hostilities against that
section Of the country. The intention now
is to present the address to Congress at the
approaching sess on.
