after all the clamor, either really had
anything to do with it.

General Dix's Order Disapprovsd.
New York, Dec. II.


The President having disapproved Of
so much of Gen. Dix's recent order, di.
recting pursuit Of the raiders over the
border, Gen. Dix has issued an order re.
voking that part. Dix's order closes:
''In cases, therefore, Of any future M.
rauding expedition into our territory from
Canada, military commanders on the
frontier will report to these beadquarters
for orders for crossing the boundary line
10 pursuit of the guilty parties"
Gold weak, almost to . panic, under
the splendid news Of this morning.
Opened at 23l; sold down to e25. and
rallied again to f97t.
Col. Forrest. late of the 5th New York
cavalry, died in this city yesterday.
The Posts Washington special Of the
18th says:
Secretary Stanton ordered salute of
tso hundred guas fired in Franklin
Square oday. for Gen. Thomas victory
over Hood.

Rebel Accounts from Sherman.
New York. Dee II


The Richmond Wing of the l4th inst.
says:
We again failed TO receive our exchan-
ges from Georgia this morning, and are
consequently without details Of recent
events in the vicinity Of Savannah aud
between there and Charleston The usual
skirmishug, but no fight has yet taken
place.
The Richmond Examiner of the l4th
says:
Up.to yesterday forenoon no fighting
had occurred between Sherman's army
and the Confederate troops in the defenses
of Savannah.
A contemporary paper speaks Of Savan-
nah as being invested. This is not the
case. Savannah is no more invested than
Richmond, and we have no evidence tia'
it stands in the least danger from assault
or siege.
An official dispatch of yesterday men,
tions that Sherman had developed hi.
army near the town, but that does moi
signify he went into trenches.
