CoTToN AT SAvAYYAH.-The Richmond
Examiner, of December 29th. SAYS The rea.
der will find in another column the enemy's
boas,ful account of the bloodless occupation
of Savannah. If 1t be true that be found there
thirty-three thousand bales of cotton stored in
warehouses, it is painful story Savannah
is town full of Yankee merchants and Jews;
the cotton probably belonged to them, and we
may be sure that they left no stone unturned.
no appeal untried, to prevent it from being de.
stroyed. The excuse for not burning it prob
ably was that the coufagration would have
consumed the town. But Savannah had bet.
ter be in ashes than in Yankee possession.
The selfish proprietors of the cotton probably
gained nothing-the Yankee would not miss
its conflagration. Sherman says he took 500
prisoners; if be did so they must have been
skukers who wished TO be taken And it is
very probable that his whole dispatch is high
ly colered, to conceal the great fact that Har-
dee and his army has slipped between his fiu,
gers.
Thus talks the rebel paper. The Richmond
Wing of the same morning says "it was of in
finite pleasure, then, that we learned that Sa
vannah had been evacuated by our forces, who
carried with them all their men and mate, ial.
Savannah was of NO USE to US" When
any important point is taken from the rebels,
the rebel papers claim it was Of no use to US"
and the Democratic papers of this coast,
following the course of the rebel press, re as
sert the same thing. The arguments of the
Richmond press are the arguments made use
Of by the Democratic press of the Free States.
The only difference noticeable. is that the
former is a little more rabid than the latter in
their denuucatlons of the Yankees, Lincoln
and the Government

CAL. EPrREss.-A great maDy remarks are
beng made in regard to this Democratic organ,
from the fact of its being reduced more than
one third its former size. We think it is far
too large for the size of its party-the party
has weakened faster than the Express indi-
Gates and it viii still have TO come down,
without Governor General Gwin will extend
his Napoleonic patronage to the concern.
Berah Brown of the Press, claims be has had
a confidential talk to the agents Of Gwin- Ma
poleon, and as he is hard up, may secure the
old traitors foreign pap" from the Express.
Being thus early headed off, and the large
number of subscribers, within the next six
months, the Express must necessarily loose
from the emigration to Gwin's domnions, will
soon make it small by degrees, and-peg out.

OVERLAND ROUTE TO IDAHo.-Tbe Red Bluff
Independent says Capt. Pierce and Mr.. Francis
have arrived in that place from Idaho for the
purpose of opening this end of the road to the
Boise Basin via Susanyille, Lassen county. 1t
publishes table of distances from San Fran
cisco to Idaho City, by which it appears that
the ocean route via Portland is 1725 miles in
length, while the overland route via Red Bluff
is only $50 miles, or but fraction more than
1862 and passage SIPS by the ocean route, by
the overland route freight is but 1920 per ton
and passage S65. \ line of stages is to be
