FROM SAVANNAH.
4 letter from Savannah, dated the
29th, published in the Philadelphia IN
quircr, shows that the stealing has
commenced. Speaking of the citizens,
it says
Want of every sort is at their doors.
BY the private soldiers they arc for the
most part. looked upon as common enc
mics. Their once beautiful city Is now
but one great military encampment.
The plains around are dotted with
white tents black smoke from the gun
boats hangs in wreaths over the river !;
the wharf is double lined with army pa
raphcrnalia of every kind, and streets
swarm with live Yankees Most of the
houses are yet closed. Through the
windows Of the stately residences along
Broad street and around the grand old
squares the women and children peer
down on the strange and mixed multi
tude with singular air of indifference.
The irrepressiblc contrabands arc every
where present; to them it is jubilee,
and they move as though they were
walking the streets of the New Jcrusa-
lem. They know where all the cotton,
tobacco, rice and whiskey were slowed
away by the absconding traitors, and
they pilot our officers to these sacred
spots with uncrring precision.
Courthouse square, with its fine old
live oaks, robcd in trailing moss, is occu-
pied by two regiments of the Twentieth
corps, and the Yankee boys boil their
coffee and cook their rations where, OF
old, the chivalry took their evening
promenades. The buildings of the city
are, for the most part, unimpaiscd, but
they all look as if time had dragged
heavily over them the last few years.
But one hotel, the Pulaski House, is yet
open, and at this the fare is decidedly
light and the bills decidedly heavy. 1t
is owned by one Wiltberger, whose 10y
atty is supposed to be in bad odor. The
probability is, change will take place
in the establishment as soon as suitable
arrangements can be made.

OF BRADSHAW AND REYNOLDS.
The Yankees are about to bully an
other weak nation. A Washington tcle-
gram says:
A dispatch from Acting Rear Admiral
Pearson, dated Panama, November ), re-
ccived at the Navy Department, calls at
tention to. the action of the Government
of Salvador in regard to the rebel pirates
Bradshaw and Reynolds, arrested at San
Salvador on suspicion Of being cmissaries
of OK President Barrios, but discharged
on their declaration that they were in the
employ of the Confederate States, and
only there for the purpose of destroying
and injuring, as far as possible, American
commerce III the Pacific. He says: :"
Judge that the authorities Of these Central
American ports would gladly give them
up to Commander Davenport, as their
plan was to capture the very steamers so
useful to them for CONNER cial purposes
and the accommodation of passengers
but the cool announcement that the ri
rates had but to inform the authorities
that the sole object of their visit was the
destruction Of American commerce in
order to obtain from them, in effect, free
passes to do as they pleased, has some
what changed the aspect of affairs in this
particular" New naval vessels will soon
be at Panama and in the Pacific, to re
place the slow-going crafts on which
American honor and interests arc obliged
now to depend for protection, CT sufficient
speed and capacity to prevent further
possibility of danger from rebel pirates,
at'oat or concocting plans on
shore to capture unarmed commercial
