ways marshy, are now probably overlown
as means of defense. 1t ispossble that
Sherman may find route around, the city
by which he can attack the water batteries
below Savannah, but - doubtful whether
he can maneuver a large force in that direc
zion. We haves large fleet of iron clad-
and gunboats IN the Savannah River, which
is ready to cooperate from below. 1t is
significant fact that all the available gun
boats in this vicinity have joined the fleet
during the last two nights.
The rebels have three iron clads off Sa.
vannah, which probably are contributing to
the defense Of the city.
| do not know what facilities the garri.
son at Savannah have for crossing the Sa
vannah river to the north side, the country
on the north side is mainly occupied by
rice-fields, which are about as advantageous
for the march of an army with material, as
the Great Dismal Swamp. The garrison
must escape in that direction, If at all =
East they are restrained by the sea, south
nd west. by Sherman, and north by great
difficulty of country, and it il possible thai
Sherman will cut off retreat even there, by
passing force to the north side of the riv
err.
The.railroad to Augusta and Macon, and
that to Charleston, euter Savannah on the
east, and for several miles nearest the city
run on the same track. The town, there
fore, cannot be reinforced directly by rail.
But we shall soon have the facts; there
fore speculation is unprofi table, though pos
sessing considerable fascination for the low
er Of brilliant tactics.

almost unanimously hit upon the former

these forecasts, and has base where he

The garrison is composed largely Of militia,
and our hearts beat high as we reckon up
the advantages we have at the very COM
mencement Of the siege. First, the garrison
is not relatively large one, and has been
hastily organized, mainly from doubtful ma
terial. Second, the attack is made from
quarter least expected, aud at the weakest
point. We do not know what supplies and
ammunition they nave collected, but can
imagine that they are not fully prepared for
siege in those vital requisites.

IMPORTANT sErrI.KMRNr.

The Quicksilver Mining Company hsv,
bought the outstanding claims on the Berrey.
esa estate. This virtually settles the whole
case. When this case was before the United
States Court several years ago, the District
Court Of California was ordered TO run the line
between the Bereyesa and Fossiatt ranches.
The court run that line, placing the mine on
the Berreyesa ranch. The Borreyesa claimants
and the Quicksilver Company took an appeal
but the United States took no appeal. Nov
the settlement between the parties allows then
to dismiss all appeal, leaving the title clear.

Howell Cobb recently made a sharp speech
at Macon, Ca, in which he saldi
"There is but one enemy that fear, and that
10 q lurking in the hearts Of some men not to
do their duty. Tho farther removed from
danger the more timid some men become. Go
70 our army and you see no tlmidlty there. The
sight often thousand banners cause no alarm,
bat rather excites courage. But go back into
the interior, and you see men who are guarding
their property and their gold, and there you
dnd cowardice."
But his dernier resort would be 10 eight Vi
with Southern women. Says he;
"Should all other means fall TO win our In.
dependence-should the men refuse to fight
longer our battles-I will, as last resort, as.
aemble the women Of our land and march them
forth for duty in the field"
We have fancy that tho Southern women
except the very ugly ones, would soon be van
quishOd and yield to the invincible arms of oul
